If your upstream network is trying to censor or surveil you, you can't run your own DNS server, because it will intercept your queries to the root servers.
Various startups thought that nobody company would touch AGPL code, assuming this meant that their code would remain essentially noncommercial. But nothing in the license actually intends this.
Yeah, at least it’s all working via Rosetta. When I first got my 13in MBP when it came out, I couldn’t get it to compile at all.

The editor runs pretty well actually. I did an unreal 5 build, and it was a bit laggy, but if you turn off Lumen and TSR for the viewport renderer, it’s a lot better. It’s definitely usable under Rosetta, but native would surely be a lot better.
Careful now. That's a felony.
It's not "convenient" though. People desperately want to believe that there is some remote "other" that is causing the problems, not their otherwise kind, friendly neighbors.

And yet, at every hearing I've attended about housing, ever public comment period for a project, it is my "neighbors" opposing the homes. The editorials in the local paper about how re-legalizing fourplexes would lead to (I'm paraphrasing) "those people" living in your neighborhood are not from wall street bankers, they're from people I've met who live here.

Both. I don't really follow what you're getting at, I think we're in agreement? confused
Meh. I run dnsmasq combined with a dns to doh proxy on my router, and I only do that to hide my DNS queries from my ISP, but this is probably paranoia on my part because AT&T ultimately knows the IP of every site I connect to, and I guess I don’t care enough to run a VPN full time. When I do care, I’ve got a droplet running wireguard at my disposal.

> this is pretty egregious in that it removes freedoms

The AGPLv3 protects freedoms - the freedoms of the users and recipients of the Software and the License, including other developers. If you combine an Open Source license with the Commons Clause, that is no longer Open Source software, in my view. It's source-available, which is completely different. If a developer adds a Commons Clause to their Open Source license, they have removed freedoms more than any Open Source license ever could.

If you look at the OSI's Open Source Definition[0] it states:

> The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software [...]

That is completely incompatible with the Commons Clause and others who try to restrict commercial use.

> This article contains the biggest confirmations I've seen of my long-held stance that the AGPLv3 was never meant to prevent commercial use

Of course the AGPLv3 was not meant to prevent commercial use. It's an Open Source license - a requirement of such a license is that it must permit commercial use!

The AGPLv3 is very easy to comply with, it's just that so many are unwilling to do so, so people come away thinking the AGPLv3 was meant to prevent commercial use.

I'd recommend this article[1] which talks about this and several other the falsehoods people have come to believe about the AGPLv3.

Well, okay, they changed Kelvin and Celsius at the same time, so that 273.15/273.16 are preserved, with Celsius based on Kelvin instead of the other way round.

But when you're dealing with the freezing point of water and the old version of Celsius for simplicity, then those numbers aren't as correct as they used to be.
It's the general trend of paternalism, and I find it deeply irritating too.

It's true, the other upside to the road network is that it already exists, and so private companies can use it now not after a long period of lobbying to get rail introduced when it does make sense.
As wmf said[0] -- it's not that I thought it was, this is just how a ton of software companies seem to think it works.

At present, those companies aren't wrong -- companies don't go near AGPL with a 100 ft pole (with the notable exception being AWS & MongoDB), but I think many more companies may catch on soon. This was partly the point of my post which I didn't link directly[1]!

I'm not moving, I've been working remote only since 2015. That is the biggest factor to going to a FAANG. I am near Austin, TX, there are many SaaS startups there but the dev teams are always people under the age of 30 for the most part. They live in small apartments, not married, no kids, some didn't even have a car. I'm 40 and live on 20 acres of land and even though I personally live and breath code, it is clear I would never "fit" on any of the Austin teams even though I am perfectly fine being around modern yuppie types.
wasn't the point of being in the office to meet people?

Sorry maybe it wasn't clear -- I'm not saying the AGPL removes freedoms, I'm saying adding the commons clause does.

Freedom to sell commercially is indeed freedom, and one I support (selfishly, as I am working on building a cloud provider right now which is going to do so), and a bunch of startup/small software projects seem to be under the impression that AGPL is a magic ward against hosters of software.
I don't think it's that simple when you're collaborating with others on a large project. I think Wine [0] is a great example of how small and atomic commits can create a very nice history that allows to you track down weird regression without having to read 1000+ SLoC commits or bunch of "chaff" that is just noise when you're trying to understand the bug. But it requires effort both from the developer to make actually good commits and from the maintainer to enforce these rules.

It might be a bit circular, but I'd go a step further and say that the lack of self driving in long haul trucking is evidence that general self driving is at least a decade away.
It baffles me how it's completely normal to avoid any mention of nuclear power when discussing climate change.

Many (most?) truck drivers today that work as a part of a larger fleet have dash cams and in-cabin cameras that use AI/ML vision algorithms to evaluate how safely they drive.

Coca-Cola really doesn't want to get sued for tens of millions of dollars because one of their truck drivers hit a pedestrian while he was checking his cell phone.
You need an adventure and time away from home and work. Buy a corvette and drive it to across the country with a good friend. Much cheaper than therapy, and you come out the other end with a hundred stories and no regrets.
> And since "you" means the licensee, wouldn't that mean the licensee can remove the additional terms added by the commons clause?

No (the trial court has reasoned), because the Commons Clause was introduced by the licensor. Thanks to that provision in the license, licensees can remove clauses introduced by other licensees, but cannot remove clauses introduced by the original licensor.

The original licensor is Neo4J, the copyright holder for the software, which has made it available under the license in question.
This is generally true, but some original papers are beautiful and elegant, and give you amazing insight even with little domain knowledge.

> Combining this with ssh -D and you can effectively VPN your Firefox traffic out any box you can ssh to, including the DNS requests. This has been both useful for me as a troubleshooting tool and as a simple internet VPN.

You can essentially "VPN" (relay) your in-browser http traffic with just DoH.

Setup a DoH stub resolver to reply with the same ("gateway") IP for all DNS queries, then on the gateway IP, forward traffic by sniffing TLS SNI (http2/http1.1) or snooping the host headers (http1).

This won't / can't work with http3 because defence against ossification (by such middlewares) was one of quic's design goals (http3's underlying transport). You can blackhole all UDP traffic on the gateway though, which should block http3 altogether.

The only real worry is there's no authentication at the gateway. Could impl it with some form of "captive portal", however.

A toy go program I co-authored can act like the aforementioned "gateway": https://github.com/celzero/midway

Glad to see stuff like this, it brings back memories.
The point of DNS-over-HTTPS is to protect users from censorship and surveillance by their network operators. Does anyone have any reason to try to block it on their networks (not just wanting to turn it off on their own devices), other than that they're network operators who want to be able to censor and surveil traffic from other people's computers?
> How on Earth did the company raise so much money with so few milestones of any kind being achieved?

Fast pitched itself as taking the prudent path compared with e.g. Bolt. The latter went for big clients first. Fast started with small businesses.

There were clearly other issues. But the closing era of cheap capital favoured the bold, and Bolt’s seizure of the fertile low grounds cut off Fast from its growth. Despite Fast taking the orthodox path.

While "tent cities" are growing in California, a lot has changed since the early 2000s, thanks to Oxy in the late 2000s, opioid abuse is more likely in the general population, and overdoses too with fentanyl.

Overdoses were a big deal then because they were rare; thanks to Oxy though, 1 in 40 Americans abuse opioids now, overdose deaths per year have quadrupled since 1999

A slight tangent, but perhaps relevant to the discussion: the clause mentioned in this article is not singular to AGPLv3; it's present in GPLv3 as well.
> And since "you" means the licensee, wouldn't that mean the licensee can remove the additional terms added by the commons clause?

That logically follows to me. I think that's why they call it the AGPL v3 "with Commons Clause," as if it's not a modifier to the original agreement, AGPL v3, but rather an additional agreement that you also must agree to in order to use the software. This seems contrary to AGPL v3, which says you should be able to remove any additional clauses. I don't see why the Commons Clause folks did it at all, but in any case, they failed in court, which is technically all that matters at this point.
In the United States, by and large, zoning regulations are local, so they're set at the city level. Which makes it quite difficult to get rid of bad land use regulations that cause all kinds of problems. At a certain point, in a place like, say, Boulder, Colorado, it turns into a vicious circle: the only people who can afford to live there are wealthy boomer NIMBY types who will vote down anything to help housing affordability. For instance in that city it's illegal for more than 3 unrelated people to live in the same home. Local activists tried to get it overturned via an initiative, and it was voted down.
My niece came to visit me about 3 years ago during her spring break; she was about 10 years old.

On a sunny afternoon, I was taking a walk around my house. Suddenly, she and her little brother jumped into me and excitedly showed me the "treasures" she had collected around the neighborhood.

The "treasures" turned out to be just a bunch of metal screws of various kinds that the construction workers left all over the place. I laughed so hard and poked fun at them. "These are no treasures, and treasures should be things that are scarce or extremely expensive, like diamonds or gems.", I said. They didn't seem to care. And they kept explaining to me the wonder of the screws. Being impatient, I tried to send them away by telling them they should try other parts of the area.

They left with big smiles.

Thinking about this, I am not sure if I was launching at them or if I am the one who should be laughed at.
I only use it on mobile, but I kind of like it, tbh.

If your target audience is only FOSS fans, great. Even a FOSS fans like to socialize with other people and that’s kind of important when you’re choosing a vibe/look/feel for a social network.

FOSSy vs corporate is a false dichotomy. The FOSSy “don’t you dare criticize my logo… I spent a weekend learning Gimp to make it… and yes the G stands for Gnu” aesthetic says “tech-savvy only”. It is off-putting for many, and FAR MORE EXCLUSIVE than any sane corporate design, save luxury brands. It doesn’t signify the lack of an in-club— it is an in-club.
Isn't it obvious? After you see an ostrich running, there is little doubt about its efficiency.

Now, actually capturing that efficiency in a real system takes some really hard engineering work. Fictional robots do not need to conserve energy, compensate for impacts, etc.

> “Looking at the image for the first time was a very moving experience, and it still is,” Stocker noted. “It’s brought some people to tears.”

Trucking isn't going to be replaced soon because it's not a lucrative career. I mean, truckers might make six figures, but those truckers are also paying gas out of their own pocket. Even before any other expenses, 2/3 of a trucker's "salary" (really income) may be going to fuel. More goes to maintenance.

So, going full EV has huge cost savings. Getting rid of the driver, not so much. The problem, other than the cost of the bigger EV cab, is recharging is too damn slow.

I expect it will be much like harbor pilots pulling ships into crowded ports: the tricky stuff will be handled by highly skilled humans, the easy stuff (long highway miles through cornfields ok flyover states) by AIs.

There will be a few exhaustively mapped and highly trafficked main routes where the truckers will carefully pull out of a warehouse and drive to the onramp, get out, and take a shuttle back to the warehouse. The truck will drive itself continuously for the next 30 hours/2000 miles, and pull itself into a rest stop outside the target city, where another trucker will drive it the remainder of the trip.
The documentary "the fog of war" is a nice view (via the study of Robert S. McNamara) of just how brutal the war in the Pacific was in terms of civilian casualties.

The US was using (in modern parlance, however ugly it is) data science to optimize bombing missions to the point that the nuclear weapons were merely a large blip rather than a sudden burst of killing sandwiched by silence.

Le May (whose group dropped the bomb IIRC) and McNamara both agreed they'd have been tried as war criminals.

For Truman at least I can see why he'd be annoyed. Maybe not as annoyed as he claimed to be, but in terms of decision making I think anyone who claims to have an easy answer to whether to drop the bomb or not is either a fantasist or an idiot.

There's a privacy benefit anyway for some sites. If your browser also supports eSNI or ECH, and you're connecting to a site hosted behind a CDN like Cloudflare, your ISP will then only know that you're connecting to the CDN, and not which site behind it that you're visiting.

Interstate driving is not easy. It's just slightly easier than intense urban traffic, and that's for normal passengers vehicles.

A 70-ft 40-ton semi truck is an entirely different challenge. There's a magnitude more things to worry about from wind speed to weight transfer and it's nowhere near as simple as plugging in the current self-driving AIs on "highway" mode.
Wouldn't the pre-Commons Clause software still be soley GPL v3? I thought that software cannot be retroactively re-licensed, so I'm not following your (or maybe the court's) reasoning.

This makes no sense. Neo4j were the ones that picked AGPLv3 as the license. If they didn’t like the clause that allows the licensor to delete further terms, they should have picked a different license or written their own.
