The distinction I would make is between companies who are in the business of developing software and people who use software to help them do a thing.

Red Hat, Qt, and the rest give the core stuff they build away but make people pay for more complicated services and support. For them, that's reasonable and it works.

Now, if you're Goldman Sachs and somebody gets a hold of the code that runs your trading platform (which surely includes some open-source components) and tries to use it as the basis of their work at another company, that's a problem.

They're not in the business of selling software and paid people to develop something that supports the parts of the business that people can actually see. Allowing anyone to use that code simply based on policy gets problematic real fast.[1]

Just because some parts are open shouldn't mean everything must be and you can use it without repercussions. IANAL, but this is the basic reason why copyright exists, to make sure people can get paid for their work.
Can you address my points instead of trying to assign some sort of ideological slant to them? Not only is it much stronger for your argument but it’s more honest discourse.

Nothing you have said in your post is unique to the geography, at all. If that makes you feel less special, good; there is nothing special about being from one geographical location or another, and nothing special about a murder in Africa vs. a murder in South America.

Murder is murder, you don’t have a worse kind. If there is something to discuss, it’s not from an angle of ideological context-macht.
My understanding is that MGP makes rye whiskey for just about everyone because of the complexity of dealing with rye grain (not a distiller; can't offer more detail). Many distilleries make their own bourbon or other American-styles whiskies including Tennessee-style, etc.

Some brands of non-rye whiskey are, of course, contract-distilled just like most of the rye whiskey. I don't know whether Bulleit Bourbon is contract-distilled or made in-house. I do know it makes a pretty fine Manhattan. I would be surprised if Bulleit Rye is made in house.
I don't get it, isn't this how literally every product launch works.
So you're saying that return-free filing is not more simple?

Going to end it the conversation here and log off for the day, nothing personal, it's just a waste of my time to connect the dots in such a painstakingly specific way.
As the paper says in respect of politically motivated definitions of mis-information

> Helping to address concerns about potential liberal bias among fact-checkers, we also examined untrustworthiness ratings from politically-balanced crowds of demographically representative (quota-sampled) American laypeople recruited via Lucid (15), rather than professional fact-checkers.
I am not sure why are you downvoted. But yes, who labels what's harmful misinformation and what is a legitimate dissenting voice is a big factor and the source of bias.

Zoom away from the polarizing US "current thing" BS politics and it becomes even clearer. Things like ESG, Nuclear energy, Middle Eastern conflicts, religious freedoms, criticizing China, etc.

The world is mostly gray, and whoever sets the boundaries of good/bad is king (that's why Media is valuable to billionaires and dictators).
Thank you. Out of curiosity, what language do you usually use to develop your backend?
It's just a reference. A bids/closings so far over list is relatively new to this market; the last time we had anything similar was the lead up to the 2008 crash.

More typically, a "$500k" house would list for $480 and close at $520 or maybe $550. Today, that same house is listing for $599 and closing at $700+. Not only have the prices gone up, but they've gone up fast enough that nobody really knows what a home is worth until it closes.
As you might have noticed, I am not a web developer, but I will try and look into resolvi g the issues you brought up. I have an idea of how to solve the font issue (https://git.sr.ht/~pkal/ecg/tree/master/item/ecg.lisp#L342), but on my systems this never gives me all the fonts.

The programming language section is also difficult, content-wise, because I don't use most of those languages, and am thus not familiar with their options. My hope is to gather feedback from other users or the package maintainers on what would be interesting.

This isn’t adjusted by the 1980s measure of inflation, that measure is no longer used and is very flawed.
No need for tinfoil hats. This is a very basic networking consideration: peering. I've worked at ISPs and we would see traffic struggle through some of our contracted peers but not others all the time. It would take a while for all routes to update, and that if we had rerouting setup properly (not always the case). It gets extra complicated when you add BGP to the mix.

Long story short, most ISPs run or are well peered to data centers nearby, which is where speed tests are normally hosted at. For traffic outside of those hops, peering issues can lead to a multitude of issues... and you don't have to be evil for that to happen. No ISPs control the entire IP path between the client and server (with extremely narrow coincidental exceptions).
Are we finally past the AI winter? We seem to be seeing major advances at least once a year. I recall there was a bit of a lull after GPT3, but clearly the boundaries of AI are expanding ridiculously fast.

"Viral" just means that if you use GPL code, you need to release derivative work as GPL as well. If you refuse to do so, you are in violation of the license, but you still retain copyright on your code.

Microsoft FUD morphed that into "if you use GPL code, all other code you write automatically becomes GPL (and you lose copyright)", which is wrong.
Agree. We are lucky that there is a lot more to Christianity than the evangelical American take.
Please re-read my comment. I'm not saying that GDP has actually been declining, I'm just saying that if we take nominal GDP and deflate using shadowstats' figures, the US economy would have been contracting. That's an absurd statement, which probably means the shadowstats' inflation figures are off.

> as energy costs increase (EVs won't save us)

I don't really disagree with your larger point, but I can't help but explore this nit because it seems interesting. I don't think anyone is arguing that EVs will markedly reduce energy prices; however, there is an argument that renewables will decrease energy prices by virtue of being cheaper per unit power. Of course, it will take at least a decade before renewable energy isn't supply-constrained, so I don't think anyone is expecting this to happen soon, and moreover I've heard counter-arguments that the figures associated with renewable energy aren't including the storage costs which would be required to make renewable energy suitable for base load generation or the costs to decommission/recycle hazardous solar panels and fiberglass wind turbine blades--maybe there will be a ~10 year window during which the supply of renewable energy meets/exceeds demand but before the recycling/decommissioning costs kick in en force? :)
Even if it says "or later", this doesn't allow you to switch from GPL to LGPL!
In the particular case the missile was used after visual identification [1].

> The two F-15s now initiated a visual identification (VID) pass of the contact.

> Wickson's VID pass was conducted at a speed of about 450 knots (520 mph; 830 km/h), 500 feet (150 m) above and 1,000 feet (300 m) to the left of the helicopters.

Now I am not saying there is no room for BVR, ofcourse there is. The 2 tracks in formation coming from Russian airspace pinging you with their Russian military radars are definitely Russian fighters. But there are also a lot of times where there has to be a visual id.

A military jet with it's radars turned off is almost impossible to tell apart from a civilian jet based on radar data alone, and everyone errs on the side of caution, of course the side of caution occasionally is to fire first and id later[2][3].

This is more like a list of reasons why bitcoin will not replace credit cards than a list of why it will.

The reasons "charge cards," as they were originally called, were invented was to make it more convenient for customers to pay. From the day BankAmericard (now Visa) launched, normal people could use it in normal stores to buy regular merchandise. This has never been the case with bitcoin and is unlikely to become the case without significant tooling and user-facing help that simply doesn't exist now.

If there is so much money in crypto, how come no one has addressed the terrible UI problems? Until your mother can buy something at retail with bitcoin, it's not a payment method.

The banks who, together, developed the modern card system (debit or credit makes no difference here), have already solved the problems of availability, scalability, and reliability.

In addition, they have solved the problems of reponsibility and refundability which are critical to any financial transaction and which bitcoin and its players refuse to address.
>War support is pretty strong through all social strata. (also backed by independent pollsters like levada)

Well, when Levada's polls showed overwhelming support for the annexation among Crimeans (and even growing support from Crimean Tatars) everybody was telling that Russian polls are rigged by Russian government and Crimeans were afraid to voice their true opinions. Now you are ready to believe all Russian polls if they help you demonize ordinary Russians.

A poll using so called 'differential privacy' approach gives about 55% support for the war [0] and that's something considering that all tv channels and lots of government-sponsored internet news sites are spewing government propaganda and all independent media are terminated and blocked on the internet. That's about as much as the share of Americans supporting the second Iraq war while having access to the free media. [1]

Personally, I immediately decline to participate in polls despite being approached twice in the last week. Before the war I was happy to tell them that I don't trust Putin, the government, the parliament and everyone else.

Among young or middle-aged educated Russians the support for the war is much lower. Among all my acquaintances only two supported the war when it started.

At sufficiently high bitrates modern lossy codecs are transparent. Even MP3, a dinosaur of a lossy codec is transparent (as in nobody can successfully ABX it) for a lot of music starting somewhere in the neighborhood of 192kbps, and at the 320kbps that commercial stores sell MP3s it is transparent for all physically generated music so far tested (some electronic music with incredibly fast attacks can have audible artifacts).

They have the scripts to generate these exports, so they probably will give you an export. You can always claim to temporarily reside in a hotel in the EU, it's not like they can smell this isn't the case.
I noticed that as well! It confused me a bit at first. They say that their "image generation stack" is referred to as unCLIP, and I was trying to figure out how it's distinct from DALL-E 2 at first!

My only guess would be that unCLIP is the end-to-end image generation model, but if the model is used for manipulation, interpolation, or variations, then it is referred to as DALL-E 2. So unCLIP is a subset of DALL-E 2.
So how is this different from other industries?

In other words, you are arguing that every company is a tech company.
Yes I know everyone wants such drones, but AFAIK nobody has them other than a few prototypes. Developing a prototype far enough to get to an fully operational platform (including things like logistics, training the operators and mechanics, developing doctrines, etc etc etc) can take decades.
Of course by this logic it’s not 4.75 but 5.75 - you still get a .25 for the prior 4 if you are unfortunate enough to be office based.
These are some pretty damning issues, but I don’t think it’s fair to conclude that it makes the technology a dead end.

For example, implantable contact lenses are commonly used to treat myopia. The lens is implanted in the eye over the long term, no infection. There’s no reason why this isn’t feasible for contact lens screens. One could posit that people won’t want to implant a contact lens screen in their eye, and perhaps they won’t, but it’s up for debate and perhaps underestimated how readily many people dive head first into scary new things (think, say, how many used LSD in the 60s).

Even if the lenses weren’t implanted, it’s still feasible for disposable contact lens screens to be cost-effective. You can buy all types of screens right now for less than a dollar. It’s not impossible to make cheap disposable screens for contact lenses.

Again, there are difficult problems to solve here, but I think calling it a technological dead end underestimates just how novel and clever humans can be to make things work.

Humans actually have very little genetic diversity. Compared to Chimpanzees we are all closely related. https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2012-03-02-chimps-show-much-greate... Or dogs which are all one species despite having much more variation than we do. We are still a pretty young species with long generations, so genetic diversity is low.

I think the conclusions of the paper probably stand, but a more rigorous analysis will need to address this.

Fact-checkers have occasionally made serious errors, and in other cases made arbitrary, premature, or flimsy judgments of ambiguous situations, essentially passing off opinion as fact. From what I've seen, these errors and arbitrary judgments tend to favor the liberal side. Scholars will need to remove these errors and arbitrary judgment calls from the "misinformation score" and see whether there continues to be a big partisan gap.

Again, my gut feeling is that the conclusions wouldn't be changed much. There's plenty of genuine right-wing misinformation out there that isn't tied to erroneous or opinion-based fact-checking. But a paper like this really needs to get down to brass tacks about what exactly is being called misinformation, or it will only be yet more ammunition for political and culture wars, and won't provide any scientific enlightenment.

I suspect that certain segments of the left would also be somewhat vindicated by a more serious and detailed review of what is deemed misinformation. Dissenters on all sides are at least sometimes unfairly treated by the mainstream fact-checking institutions.

Smoke – Android Communication Application
So, what's the easiest way to get an image of my signature with a transparent background, and apply it to a pdf?
Yikes. Well, this is pointless.
Chronology matters here. Any conspiracy theory, no matter how seemingly unhinged could become factual in time. And when you spew misinformation and lies everyday you are bound to have some lies eventually emerge as truth. None of that should lend credibility to the people who found themselves eventually and accidentally speaking the truth.

> The key here is who is defining misinformation.

We should respect the processes that are used to establish truthful information, even if it is occasionally wrong, rather than the noise makers who are occasionally right.

In other words “who” should not be a factor in determining misinformation, but “how”.

Well, if it is decided that the Feds have no authority to make such mandates, then the next time they want to over-reach their authority in this particular way, it will be struck down more quickly. (Yeah, they probably will try again in the exact same way, though. These days, neither side seems to pay much attention to constitutional limits on federal authority when they're in power...)
It's not 'filthy communism', and people who suggest nationalizing industries ought to be better informed: they are the ones who are suggesting the dramatic shift from the status quo. I am suggesting that the nationalization suggestion comes from a place of ignorance of the (grave) pitfalls of doing so.

Suggesting that industries be nationalized is not just "let's try something different"; it's something that's much more serious and has larger implications that should be weighed carefully, versus a corporation that's only answerable to its shareholders changing how it runs its product.

GNU Library Public License (LPL?) != GNU General Public License (GPL)
The federal government knows exactly how much I made. There is no financial information beyond the view of the federal government. The only way I could hide income would be to get paid in cash (or cash equivalent, like gold) then hide that money in a safety deposit box. That doesn't exactly scale very long. It's notoriously difficult to buy a car (or bread) with gold bricks. Also, if someone does do this they aren't going to just tell the government "yeah I have $700,000 in gold sitting in my safety deposit box".

Even if the government had absolutely no records of my income (which is false), there should be an option for me to just submit all my income records to them tabulated. I can attach a bank account number and routing number and have them deduct whatever money I owe in taxes from the account. End of story. Unless the IRS is claiming you owe a massive amount of money relative to your income, it is never worth contesting it. You're going to spend more money & time than you will ever recover.
Yes; but it's a fair price to pay.

What you're saying is simply a part of the big question of "intellectual property," though I think perhaps one thing we forget is that the protection is the ARTIFICIAL part; IP is the thing we made up out of nowhere.

Probably one of the reasons I find the GPL to be so brilliant and clever -- one could whinge about the problems with overbearing copyright, or one can use some clever judo and just roll with it.
Gold is pretty good
The short answer is that's a political question along the same lines as what should the minimum wage be, or what should the rate of taxation be? There is no one right answer for all times and all situations, and it should be determined through public debate and input via voting. We as a society operate in this manner in all sorts of ways, and it's not at all inconceivable that we could do the same here.

I think the guideposts should be to put limits on how much influence a single person should have in our society, or to limit the amount of influence we unintentionally give one person just by participating in the economy. For example, if I buy a product from a company that has a large advertising spend on Facebook, I am indirectly, perhaps even unknowingly adding to the personal wealth of Facebook's owner just because of some decisions that someone else made. Now the libertarian response to that is to research each and every product you buy, but that quickly becomes an impossible task for any one person to do, much less every person. Not only is the quantity of information too large, but some information is simply inaccessible to the public at large.

So, to answer your question more directly, I can give you my personal opinion. I think capital gains should be taxed the same as regular income, inheritance taxed as regular income, unrealized gains taxed as regular income (above some threshold perhaps), and progressive taxation to asymptotically approach 100%. Right now our top tax bracket ends at 37% at $539,900 income for an individual. It's at 35% for incomes from $215,950 to $539,900. I'd call that roughly a 2% rise for a ~250k rise for back-of-the-envelope calculation purposes. So linearly extrapolating that out, maybe the top tax bracket becomes 100% after somewhere around $10mm annual income. And since you pay taxes on that $10mm, you maybe can accumulate somewhere in the neighborhood of $5mm a year. And that's generous in my opinion, because lower income tax payers pay an 8% increase (24% to 32%) to go from ~$90k to ~$170k, so it's not like its a linear function for workers.

And then how do we 'catch up' on back taxes? You kind of establish a concept of a 'maximum wage' at some point in a progressive taxation scheme that approaches 100%. I think one fair-ish way of doing it would be to cap wealth at that level, so that if the maximum income is let's say $5mm, you can keep $5mm for each working year of your life, anything beyond that being due as back taxes. So if you're 65 you could still have ~$235mm, which seems like plenty to me. And when that person dies, their children's inheritance is taxed as regular income as well and effectively capped at $5mm or so (whatever it turns out to be), so there's little point to dying with hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank.

Maybe not those exact numbers, but somewhere around there seems reasonable to me. But my opinion is just one opinion, and a big change like this should be determined through the political process with inputs from everybody.
