There's a difference between copyright and license. Under US intellectual property law, it is possible to release software for zero dollars, but retain IP interests. This is why you'll see a LICENSE file in the source code for most open source projects. It contains a legal contract explaining the users rights to use the software.

What you're probably thinking of is "Public Domain." That's where a creator disclaims most (though not all) rights to the creation.

Calling it tribalism and accusatory, based on the thread related to this topic, is pearl clutching.

The negative comments I saw in the thread are of the style below.

Isn't this so you as a linux user can decide if purchasing a specific cpu will make a difference?
Two cents: I bought a Mini and returned it because it wasn't small enough to use with one hand. It's an awkward size that's small-but-not-small-enough.

My advice is to get a PopSocket; they can make almost any size of phone usable with one hand. At this point it seems like that's the best we're going to get
I'm not sure how the ecosystem that exists around ICE cars is comparable to an EV.

Let's go down the list of parts:

* Suspension components: Same between EV/ICE, no changes there

* Brake components: Same between EV/ICE, no changes there

* Tires/wheels: Same

* Infotainment: Similar issues - unless you rip out the dash there's not really anything comparable in most modern ICE cars to replace it. It's all integrated and if that breaks you're hosed.

* Motor/engine components: Nothing similar exists for EV space, but also maintenance requirements for EV motors is basically non-existent.

* Battery components (on EV): Not a thing on ICE cars, but similar stuff has existed in Hybrids for awhile. 3rd parties do rebuilds of hybrid batteries already; there's people doing rebuilds of EV packs now too.

What specifically do you think exists in the 3rd party ecosystem for ICE vehicles that doesn't for EVs? Batteries? Motor replacements?
Not really sure what your response has to do with the previous chain. someone asked for evidence related to the harm of porn that was not associated with religious sources, and I provided it. My snarky remark was simply to point out the commenters willful ignorance on the subject (ie requiring others to provide easily accessible pieces of information). What I did not do is say that this is conclusive evidence or that it must be interpreted a certain way.

Ultimately, Starlink is censorable in China, and any country where China insists on censoring the Internet.

They can only offer Internet in Iran with the (implicit) blessing of large nations.

The specific act of offering Iran may or may not help China, but it clearly undermines Russia and helps the US.

Regardless of that, unauthorized deployment of uncensored Internet is a strong political weapon that is only available to large / wealthy nations.

(Contrast this to some sort of hypothetical censor-resistent NNTP style news source, where cheap devices sync the news with each other via local wireless connections.)
The Parts Between
Among the questions raised by this incident, which I'd only consciously been aware of since earlier today, is whether or not HN should accept and post content from The Edge.

That was suggested 11 hours ago by robot_head, which drew a response from dang which I find ... grotesquely insensitive, at the very least. The term "enabling" comes to mind. That's not the dang I generally encounter here.

<https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32979901>

I've made three replies so far to that thread myself.

Dang's response is that "On HN, we generally go by article quality, not site quality: , and generally try to avoid guilt by association". That links a search on the terms "article quality" "site quality".

The problem I have here is that the situation departs sharply from "guilt by association" to "willing and knowing partner in crime", where those crimes include rape, child trafficking, and worse.

HN has seen at least 30 submissions from The Edge since 19 October 2020, based on its own "from site" feature:

<https://news.ycombinator.com/from%3Fsite%3Dedge.org>

The state I'm referring to is archive here: <https://archive.ph/8adBm>

I also noted to dang that The Edge nowhere carries any prominent mention, nor apology for, its associations with Epstein:

<https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=site%3Aedge.org+epstein&ia=...>

In this case, if the question is "should HN subject the Edge to Damnatio memoriae?", the defence would have an extraordinarily challenging case to make.

It should be easier to notify people involved in these studies that they may have be adversely affected in the course of the study, rather than having to go decipher a peer reviewed paper on some specialist academic journal site, for the common user at the very least.
> Degrees are completely arbitrary

Degrees are very natural in the context of ancient astronomy/astrology, where you have (1) ~365 days in a year, so that if you look at the path of something that takes a year you get about one degree change per day but with a number that is more easily divisible. (2) approximately 4y, 10y, 8y, 15y, 12y, 30y cycles for the moon and various planets. (3) A calendar with 12 months, 12 zodiac signs. (4) A timekeeping system which breaks days into 24 hours and then uses divisions by sixty for smaller units. (4) A base-sixty number system – from ancient Mesopotamia, which persisted as the standard for astronomical calculations for millennia, only displaced in the very recent past.

Swype by Yallo is the eSIM I've used.

My Telecom Italia SIM ran out of roaming data while I was in Switzerland, and there was no way to top up. Swype had a first month free promo, so I signed up from my Airbnb. I did have to send a photo of my documents, but the total time from download to data was less than 30m.

I took a quick (1 week) work trip to Germany this summer. I was trying to figure out how to get a SIM before getting on the train, when I remembered I still had the eSIM in my phone. I downloaded the app and bought data - $15 per month + $3 per day (since I was roaming). Not only was it super convenient, but I had unlimited data with roaming. I don't think even local cards get you that.

For short trips to Europe, I definitely recommend Swype for its convenience.

> why are you complicit in making them even more complex all the time, and push for entire new runtimes such as WASM even?

Because we're out of options. Apple pushed us all here by crying "there's no other way" when people question their monopoly over app distribution. If you want browsers to be less complex, then you should advocate for the free distribution of software so the web isn't the only viable place to deliver you content.
My mini-ITX work desktop has no problems with a 5900x and a Radeon VII pro running Rocm work, using only a tiny heatsink on the 5900x (and some high-airflow fans, but nothing too incredibly loud). It doesn't thermal throttle, but tops out around 80-90 degrees C.

The 7000-series seems to be a different story: you really need a big cooler for those chips.

This will never happen. Car manufacturers today are moving away from one-time-fee models and trending towards subscription-based models (see all the hub-bub around the BMW heated seat subscription). If anything, it'd be the opposite: Pay some smaller up-front cost, but a monthly 'battery service' fee or something instead.

Also, I highly doubt there will ever be a car in the $10k new segment (at least in the US); it just isn't feasible with the demands of consumers for other things (safety, regulations, infotainment, interiors, etc). Even if the battery cost approaches zero, there's more than $10k worth of car (not in BOM, but what it would sell for) in probably every car today.
This sort of knee-jerk reaction to a paper is exactly why companies at large prefer to treat their R&D as 'strictly confidential'.

Fair enough.

I guess what's implicit in my attitude is that I think Rust introduces cognitive load that other (especially garbage-collected) languages do. There has to be enough of a win gotten to offset that. I used performance as the most likely reason I could think of.
Much like you'd use a sandbox VM to test untrusted code locally, you could use a sandbox google account to work with untrusted Colabs.
yes it is a long time ago. And there was a big debate about Microsoft (including discussions of splitting up Microsoft because of bundling the browser). And Apple is doing things way beyond that for many years and nobody blinks an eye nowadays.
Netscape Navigator, probably. I don't think Mozilla was around quite yet, certainly not Chrome.

That's true. It is very loud. I believe today that crews must have biologists on board monitoring marine mammal activity in the area and that acquisition must stop when animals enter the area. There are also seasonal prohibitions on activity in most areas to allow mating and calving.

This is not enough and it doesn't address the louder sounds from submarine communications which are most likely to be the reason for most mammal groundings today.

It is better than it was in the 70's and 80's though. People learned and they adapted, though not always willingly.
This is a good example. If Apple treated their bundled calculators, text editors, email software, photo viewers and PDF viewers like they treated their browser, nobody would use MacOS.

There's never been competing ecosystems. There is and has been one package manager: cabal.

You are probably referring to stack, which is a just wrapper around cabal that makes some decisions for you. For instance, it pins a set of packages to known-to-work-together versions. It also provides a different CLI (cabal's is a bit verbose).

Today, cabal has improved quite a bit (Nix-style builds, for instance), so the pain stack was invented to help with isn't really there anymore. If you invented stack today, it probably wouldn't get the same level of adoption.

But there are plenty of good packages out there. There often are many different packages for the same thing with different approaches (best part of Haskell!), but for core infrastructure the ecosystem tends to settle and rally around one.
No, they actually block them by actively inserting their own routes at a higher priority and inserting firewall rules. You can fool around with LD_PRELOAD to neuter their functions that do this and get everything working end-to-end. They are blocking things that would otherwise be NATed and work just fine.

There's also workarounds for Windows using Powershell scripts and "Set-NetIPInterface -InterfaceMetric 6000" to lower the priority of the AnyConnect internal routes that break docker, or using wsl-vpnkit (as DockerDesktop does).
So basically people who were unaware of the fact that their private data was being served publicly are now protected by default thanks to the GDPR.
Well, that may all be the case, but ignores the messing around of American lobbyism in Germany and the Ukraine regarding this, leading to the current situtation.

The official channel is Congressional oversight committees for intelligence. They all have clearances and are independent of the executive branch and the agencies they oversee. The extent to which you trust them is up in the air, I guess, but they're at least supposed to be representatives of the public. It's more like the city council investigating the police than the police investigating themselves.

As for what would have changed, what changed given he publicly disclosed instead? As far as I know, none of the programs he blew a whistle on were ever found to be illegal, no one in charge of them was fired or went to prison, and the major effects have been crackdowns in the way insider threats are mitigated, the depth that clearance investigations and polygraphs go into, the public has become less trusting of the federal government, and backers of authoritarian foreign regimes have a lot more ammunition to paint the USA as full of hypocrites if we ever take any effort to aid resistance to them.
It's not about bundling software with the OS, but _preventing other pieces of software from being installed_. iOS disallows alternative browser engines. When you install Chrome or Firefox on iOS, it's just a wrapper around the Safari browser engine.

I always like to compare business strategies like this to McDonalds. McDonalds reached something I like to call “peak mediocrity with consistency.” Everything on the menu is consistently “ok,” and I believe that this is the reason it is appealing to such a broad audience. And of course, the price is right.

I had a neighbor who used to say “you can get used to hanging if you hang long enough.” I think that this anecdote also applies. Think of all of the products we use on a daily basis that are just “ok,” but the reason we continue to use them is because we at least get it consistently.

Amazon used to be in this zone of consistent mediocrity, but now it is teetering on the edge of failing at this: 2-day shipping for Prime is inconsistent, product quality is hit or miss, dramatic price gouging is now the norm, etc.

I agree with getting rid of crap, but I really believe that “good enough” and “consistent” is where the magic is.
"[FAANG] jobs tend to be quite demanding and require developers to put in a lot of extra hours when compared to smaller businesses."

I know you're the CTO, I just wanted to say that Cloudflare is an amazing company that recently took a couple of steps in the wrong direction. The new playbook seems like it has added a page of crayon doodles.

Intellectuals understand what happened with the censorship incident on both sides of the argument, but both agree that trust is one of those things that builds over time and difficult to achieve. IMO a company such as Cloudflare needs to build trust through extreme sense of stability and guarantee. Rule book needs to be super explicit with zero ambiguity written with a precision pencil, not a spray can.
