> “The ruling is a watershed moment in the history of copyleft licensing. This ruling shows that the GPL agreements function both as copyright licenses and as contractual agreements,” says Karen M. Sandler, executive director of Software Freedom Conservancy. Sandler noted that many in the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) legal community argue incorrectly that the GPL and other copyleft licenses only function as copyright licenses.

If the GPL is a contractual agreement, does that mean that a court can require that an entity to release the closed source portion of infringing software that uses the GPL?

If that is the case, the legal jeopardy involved with using GPL software just got a lot higher.
Yes! My reply to "this meeting could have been an E-mail" is often: "OK, do you read your E-mail and respond promptly?" I love killing productivity-draining meetings and turning them asynchronous --BUT-- these meetings often get called because a decision needs to be made synchronously(now), and the decision makers can't wait two weeks while you get around to reading your E-mail and remembering to answer.

Those meetings that are simply "status story time" where someone reads a doc to the room? Yea, they should be removed. I don't think anyone likes them.

All of those usecase are going to suck for handling fraud and abuse though, same as everything else crypto related.

Permissionless composability means you have no control over which apps use your data, the universal login makes sure that spam is present and unbannable, and Reddit communities benefit heavily from being able to have top mods removed when they turn abusive
Preston’s Paradox
So I don't think this point proves they're different functionality - other than the single factor of with more controllers then "printing" a bunch of coins wiping out the value decided by the market isn't easily possible?

It's this single point of failure ("one" controller vs. distributed to diversify risk) that you're stating is what makes it a true Ponzi vs. Bitcoin?
In a world with (and a history of) many countries full of mass starvation and homelessness, my definition of functioning is anything above mass starvation and homelessness.

Julia released experimental support for arrays whose indexes don't start at 1 in Julia 0.5, October 2016.

The boundschecking feature was added in 2015, so at the time they wrote their code and examples, they were correct.

The documentation and review happened in December and January 2016/2017 when the non 1-based indexing was still experimental and very new, so I don't think this is as big a fail as you've made out either.

Yes, the documentation should have been updated when non-standard indexing was made non-experimental, and the reviewers should maybe have noted the new and experimental array indexing stuff, but it's only natural to miss some things.
Someone else already mentioned some of the technical aspects, but there are large customer support / contract / business relationship aspects too. You're maintaining business relationships with dozens of registrars, easily over a hundred. You're running a B2B-focused business with a large number of customers and there's random nonsense that's constantly coming up requiring human attention.
Next you will be suggesting that Tether crashing will be good for bitcoin...
What tools have you tried? Have you tried SharpKeys? IIRC I've used it in the past - not for your scenario though - and it worked well. Plus it's on GitHub.
The "comments" link in the top navigation takes you to all comments on HN, across all posts. It would be hard, but perhaps feasible to read through all the content that is posted.

On Discord it would be impossible for a person to read through just all newly created Discord channel names. It handles over a million messages per minute.
I work on a project with micro-services. Just looked into our repository: we merged around 1,100 pull requests in the last 30 days. That's a least this number of re-deployed services to our development cluster with a release train to staging and production clusters.

I'm not sure how many "feature" or stories that is. Maybe we need two to four pull requests per story.

And yet, regulated banking also turns into a mess time and time again.
I read tweet replies, not just tweets (apologies if I'm not using the correct terms, I'm not an active Twitter user). The original tweet may be a real user, but I often dive deep into all of the comments. If 20% of those comments are from bots, then that's a lot.
Time will tell, but I have some concern they are working toward something that becomes undeliverable (KSP 2 Forever?). I'm indifferent to the game but have a child who is deeply into KSP and looking forward to KSP 2, asks weekly for status updates--not looking forward to delivering the bad news after school today.

I really don't understand how anyone is out there saying FSD is doing amazing like all those youtubers and Elon fanboys keep saying. It does horribly. Sometimes it does well enough to fool you into thinking its better... but then it just goes and takes the wrong turn or gets into the wrong lane.

I've requested twice to be removed from the FSD now and so far no one has removed me.
No, since you choose who you follow, you're most likely filtering for interesting stuff. I'd wager that most of the spam bots are pretty obvious to spot, and makes up very little of a user's feed.
There have been massive advancements in the use of various options, futures and other structured

They will allow individuals to allocate up to 20%

Yep, Discord has been a hunting ground for child predators since it got popular as a chat system for gamers (many of whom are children). This has been a problem since long before a certain American political faction started throwing the word "grooming" around to mean "not heteronormative," and in my opinion it's probably best to avoid legitimizing that rhetoric by responding to it.
> No. Dogs can't eat cheeseburger

Can you add an easter egg that says "No can has cheeseburger"?

But in all seriousness, very cool project because as a relatively new dog owner I am searching "can dogs eat <x>" at least once a week.

---

> No. Dogs can't eat dairy products.

Is at odds with what it says for milk and cheese

> Yes! Dogs can eat banana,bananas.

> Yes. Dogs can eat capiscum.

This should probably have the footnote of bell peppers is probably fine but don't give your dog hot peppers (I mean, I doubt a dog would eat them)

If you search for chili, it recommends against it because of it being really spicy. My understanding is that capiscum is an entire family that ranges from bell peppers up to peppers that will hurt humans.

> I caught you! I hope it's just pure curiosity and you weren't going to give your dog a fried [blah blah].

AMAZING. That got me when I saw it in the list. Anyone else has to find it on their own. ;)

> Yes. Dogs can eat seeds.Yes, dogs can consume seeds.

---

There are some that are the same food (French fries is one I saw three times) but end up at fragmented articles that could be better put together.

What could be interesting and valuable, especially since you seem to have a small dataset, is relate words so you can share these presumably hand-written explanations between words / phrases and give more value and nuance so you can focus on making n / 2 high-quality articles rather than having to write n articles.

For instance, relating all peppers together (chili, capiscum, hot peppers, bell peppers) so you can discuss why it is ok to give bell peppers but not hot peppers or chili.

This would increase how human and valuable it feels so you aren't just running into "Yes, dogs can eat [x]" or "No, dogs can't eat [x]".
I don't know I'm not an "emacs guy" really, I didn't know about this feature. It will probably work for me and I'll consider setting it up the next time I twiddle with my emacs config, something I do for an hour or two about once a year.

But whether or not it solves my problem yes I think the use case is different? The person I responded to uses it so consistently they leave it running at all times. I can go days or weeks between single uses, depending on the projects I'm working on. That's a very different use to me.
In part this seems like a denominator issue. Many real Twitter users lurk, or post very seldom. Bots probably don’t lurk much - what would be the point?

If you took the likelihood of a tweet being spam, it’s going to be much higher than a user being spam, when “users” includes the lurkers you rarely see.

For the user experience, what you see is what matters and lurkers don’t count. But counting lurkers might matter more for ad impressions and revenue.

I wonder sometimes if Musk knows this stuff and enjoys playing dumb to troll people, or if he really is out of touch. Maybe focusing on the user experience is the right move regardless of how you get there?
The greater your ability to be like "that was a crap move, why did it make that move?" the less likely you are to be using FSD in a situation preceding one of those crap moves to begin with.
This has to be a joke. The sheer buzzword/BS density is just too high for this article to be real.

>But please, the Cuba example is nuts.

I think you're asking for a definition of functioning that is above what reality can offer. In Cuba, the government controls agriculture, and there isn't any mass starvation right now. That's a functioning system, at least - not every communist government can avoid mass starvation, and in fact most of them have periods of it.
Not sure about what’s best from a pure corporate financial perspective. It is really nice for one of the likely upcoming tech behemoths to still be pushing Ruby like Shopify is doing and has been doing.
The concept in 2022 sounds doomed to fail on many fronts. A service that claims to offer privacy but requires identifying payment information. A required email signup so followup sales emails can happen when the service is ready.

Ddg was popular on here until they censored certain websites. Does this search service censor?

Sounds like they are trying to tackle privacy but in reality users of this service will have less privacy.
gTLDs are not ccTLDs, though. The gTLDs all run under the same standardized contract / set of rules, and if you're already running 1 then it's pretty easy to scale that to running N.

ccTLDs though are much more like special snowflakes though. There's a large difference in policies, features, technical implementations, etc., from one ccTLD to another.
> You cannot get a STEM degree if you are incapable of thinking logically.

I'm not really sure what you're basing this off of. I've worked in prominent universities teaching math classes and would definitely not make such a claim.

> Therefore, it makes sense to connect the two.

No it doesn't. What does STEM have to do with running a country anyway? Would you say that McNamara's policies were correct in Vietnam? I'm not sure you could come up with a more "rational" approach to foreign policy anywhere.

Personally instead of round about arguments claiming the PRC is rational due to the degrees held by the ruling class, I'd personally just look at the resultant policies. Watching the PRC for a long time, they don't really strike me as very rational at all. Their current handling of covid is only one example.
> Absolutely nobody is claiming that it is safe yet.

If you just go looking for a few minutes you can find all kinds of claims that Tesla's FSD system is safe or will be safe. It would be very easy to end up with the impression that it would never veer into oncoming traffic. For example:

> "I would be shocked if we do not achieve Full Self-Driving safer than a human this year. I would be shocked," Musk told analysts. [1]

I know that this is actually a statistical claim, not a claim that it will do uniformly better in all situations (like not veering into oncoming traffic). Regardless, you can find lots of "it's safer than people" and a lot of victim blaming when it's suddenly not safe.

It was like ten years ago that Google's self driving effort concluded it wasn't safe to trust the driver to supervise the system. Saying it's safe if the driver catches mistakes is just shifting the blame. You can't say you have full self driving and say mistakes don't count if the driver's not paying attention!

Owned or controlled by the state. You can have socialism without state ownership if the state has sufficient control. (And that means that socialism isn't binary - you can have degrees of state control.)
> One forward facing camera is not enough in rainy conditions at night.

Indeed, I wonder if that single camera is even binocular, or if they're using something like motion parallax to compute depth? The obvious problem with a single camera is that if it's degraded by dirt, debris, water, etc. you have no other input to fall back on.

> The system seems to identify oncoming vehicles at night by recognizing two headlights.

This seems untenable. I often see drivers with a headlight out, or even more commonly, driving at dusk or even night with their headlights completely off. Also, what about motorcycles?
Basically, people are expected to be more discerning about what they'll yeet money at. Remember, wealth tends overtime to trickle up, so good or bad investment, the people at the top'll probably make it back eventually anyway.

The big diff is now founders need to measure up to "can you make it back at least X% in Y% time?) Where X% is now non zero.

I don't know what's scarier - Tesla FSD, or people with the reaction time like the driver in the video...even after the car is clearly angled into oncoming traffic completely inappropriately, he doesn't immediately take control of the vehicle.

That is definitely not true. Sure we could make arbitrary changes, many of which could easily kill the site. But the set of changes that can be made to make HN better fit its vision is far from obvious.

No, what site is that?
No, and it is way more expensive. But it is fashionable :)

Like many other animal (including human) behaviors, cats bond the easiest when young. Littermates, obviously, but unrelated cats as well. Second easiest is to bond an adult cat with a kitten. Introducing two adult cats to each other? It can take time and skill (doing it gradually is the key!), and depending on their individual personalities, they may become best friends, or only scarcely learn to tolerate each other.

Glad to hear it's being worked on!

> That said, I don't think we can be faulted for that one, because I don't think anybody really has a good answer to this particular design problem.

Agreed! To be clear, If there's any implication of "fault" it was certainly not in a moral sense or even anything around making poor design decisions. Julia's compiler is being asked to do many new things with semantics that necessarily predated many advances in PL.

Re Kernel fusion, there's another piece here, which you may or many not have included in "array-level optimizations". Julia's "just write loops" ethos is awesome, until you get to accelerators...now we're back to an "optimizer defined sub language" as TKF puts it. People like loops and flexibility, Dex, Floops.jl, Tullio, Loopvec and KA.jl show that it's possible to retain structure and emit accelerator-able loopy code. But none of those, except for dex, has a solution for fusing kernels that rely on loops. I'm still using the concept of Kernels, because there's still a bit of a separation between low level CUDA.jl code/these various DSLs and higher level array code, even if not as stark as python or C++.

Would be really cool, if like Dex, there's a plan to fuse these sorts of structured loops as well. Dex does it by having type level indexing and loop effects (they're actually moving to a user defined parallel effect handler system (https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.07493) ...the latter can tell the compiler when it's safe to parallelize and fuse+beta reduce loops. But that relies on structured semantics/effects and a higher level IR than exists in Julia.

Not sure what a Julian solution would look like, if possible. But given the usability wins, it would be great to have in Julia as well.
I'm shocked that no one has said Terraform yet. It has its own declarative DSL, which some people complain about (because people complain about everything), but it works well for what it's intended to do.

Providers can be created for anything with an API, from the major cloud providers to k8s to anything else.

No agent is required: it just writes state to a file, and then it diffs that file against the actual state every time it runs. (In practice, you'll probably want to put that state in a remote location like an S3 bucket, but that's very easy to do. And if you're the only one using it, you can just save it locally, which is the default behavior.)

Depending on your use case for Ansible, it could be a very good fit.
A referendum is a far cry from your original suggestion to "officially cede Crimea", though. There can be no legitimate referendum while a territory is under invasion. Suggesting a sovereign nation cede territory to an oppressive dictator who decided to invade it is antithetical to democracy, as is suggesting that said tyrant should be allowed to dictate which defensive alliance it joins.
Until you stop thinking and come out of side turning onto a completely empty road.
Agreed. I suspect that this is an arbitrage game on the part of the SEO spammers. Each search is cheaper for them than it is for a competitor who's using a major search engine with more extensive anti-spammer protections, and that difference equals $$$. A captcha doesn't have to be an unbeatable solution. It just has to provide enough of a barrier to equalize the cost.
I don't know how many original tweets are made by bots but 20% of the replies to anyone with a 5 figure follower count seems to fall on the low side of what I would guess.
This was my first gut instinct, except even simpler than Maxwell's demon: by partitioning the apparatus with the mirror, you're altering the statistical ensemble of possible wave states (increasing the relative information entropy) and that's where your energy comes from.

That's just my gut though, I'm not a professional physicist.
I rarely read my feed. Most of my lurking is on the replies to famous/infamous tweets.
So right now, if you were choosing an on-demand cloud provider (like digital ocean), which would you chose if your requirement would be expecting that next year your bill would be lower than it is today?
I owned an Asus Eee PC 901 within a month or two of its release.

I bought it when I started my first job at Starbucks. I was super happy to be able to afford new tech that was so useful to me, as I moved a lot during this time.

It's bulky now considering the original compact appeal. Backpacks nowadays are often designed to fit a 16" MBP better than the small fat irregular shape of a 9" Eee PC.

After maybe four years and many travels and Windows updates, it ran constantly hot and the battery died. The touchpad became unresponsive too. That massive hinge also managed to crack. It lost its portability and ended up struggling with everything and break, but it served me very well.

To replace it with something that could fill the same role, I got an even cheaper 13" Asus C300 Chromebook (2014). It was more elegant and efficient for my needs but not nearly as evocative today as the Eee PC. :)
> What the argument misses is that academia should not be organized so as to maximize the welfare of academics — not of a coalition of minorities, not even of all academics put together. Academia should be organized to maximize the welfare of society.

An interesting idea, though I'd like to see some supporting argument, as I don't think this should simply be assumed. There is also unspoken pushback here against the notion that organizing for the benefit of a small group implicitly also maximizes the benefit for society as a whole.

Nevertheless, let's treat it as a given. Is academia unique in this regard? How about other groups, organizations, and segments of society? Should corporations be organized to maximize the welfare of society? How about corporate management? Can we make similar statements about professions, or industries, or economic classes?

How should societal welfare be measured? Or if measurement is difficult, approximated or estimated?

Are there other positive values that are in tension with this goal of maximizing societal welfare?

Where we have laws or regulations that are directly justified by an appeal to societal welfare, should the specifics of those laws be subject to empirical verification of that welfare, or is a hand-wave sufficient?
