> which if true, means they don't need a license. (And if false, then they're in violation of the existing licenses anyway.)

Precisely my thoughts; either they're already violating the attribution requirements of such a license, or it's under Fair Use in which case the question is moot. There's no need to put them doubly into failure of compliance.

I'm not an attorney; I have worked professionally with IP policies and licenses for a number of years. I generally give the following suggestion to developers considering FOSS licenses: once you've put your code under an open license, assume that you no longer own today- you only own tomorrow.

What I mean by that is that once the source code is out there under a given open source license, it's best to consider it a total loss until the next time you change the code. Of course there's always the right to challenge and litigate, but this is often time-consuming, expensive, and an uphill battle. I can't even put a number on how many times I've dealt with teams who love the "warm fuzzy" of creating an open source project, but get apoplectic when they realize that means giving up quite a bit of control over anything published as FOSS (but it's a large quantity).

Having said all of that, I think OP is doing exactly the right thing in reconsidering the license. Maybe an OSI-approved FOSS license is not right for this project and a more restrictive license is appropriate, but personally I think that in the face of this new type of use case, most FOSS licenses should clarify and refine attribution requirements. I'd love to see some further guidance from OSI on this.

Edit: for example, it might become recommended practice to put generic, boilerplate, or non-innovative code under permissive FOSS licenses from day one, but leave extremely novel, innovative, or unique code under a more restrictive license (such as one with more stringent attribution requirements) in a separate module for a time, until credit for the innovation is well-established (after which even the innovation can be published under a permissive license). Not a panacea; simply an early thought.
> 1 hour later I received an email from PayPal that I am permanently banned as I am trading with a business account of which the company no longer exists

I hate that I have to do this and to be viewed as defending a vile organization like PayPal but this specific incident here could be the result of another department/silo (compliance/anti-fraud?) within the corporation issuing an immediate ban for your account to avoid or limit any regulatory burden.
There certainly is an SVG thing but I don't remember the name.

I think Blurhash is the way it is because Wolt is an app and not a website, so the decoder is already loaded when you open it. For browser use, SVG would be more straightforward.
Even worse than that, immigration status. Getting laid off when on H1B, especially when other companies are freezing hiring and we are getting close to the holidays when everything takes longer is terrifying. You are on a clock for being simply kicked out of the country.
I'm actually curious ... a random 28 cu ft fridge off of Lowe's website claims it will use 700 kWh / year on its energy guide, or about 2kWh / day.

A random 18 cu ft fridge claims it will use closer to 400 kWh / year, or around 1.1 kWh / day.

The random commenter on this thread has an 8 cu ft fridge which uses around 0.5 kWh / day.

Is the GP's parent's fridge "old" or is it "giant"?
Yes. Realistically, I could put in the extra effort to be mindful of how I handle the things I own -- but I simply don't care enough.

If you lend me a paperback book, it's likely going to be dog-eared and written inside with pen; and the covers will almost certainly have creases all over. In my view, paperback books are cheap, mass-produced disposable goods that were meant to be thoughtlessly handled (e.g. reading at the beach).

If you lend me a KNIPEX plier wrench, it's likely going to be used as a hammer, for when I'm simply too lazy to go get one. It will be left out in the rain, completely uncovered. Why? Because I simply do not care. If it becomes rusted or visibly broken, I will buy a replacement -- but I will not go out of my way to treat material, unthinking, unfeeling objects with any respect or dignity.

I consider the necessity of most physical things we own an annoyance; and the responsibility of caring for them a self-imposed burden I have no interest in carrying.
> Things are more complicated if you scale the dimensions of the fridge unevenly.

They are. Unless you reach the scale of the walk-in fridge, you don’t want a fridge to be deeper than an arm’s length, and even small fridges have that depth because they’re designed to fit a kitchen top, which also is scaled for an arm’s length.

Vertical scaling is a bit more flexible, but will stop at about 2 meters (until you reach sizes that you can drive a forklift in)

On the plus side, if you scale things evenly, wall thickness also goes up, so heat losses per m² of area will go down.
> I feel bad for people who are laid off by the machinations of billionaires.

Do you have different feelings about people who are laid off by the machinations of centi-millionaires?
As always, not actually doing something useful like banning payment discrimination, just passing laws to protect speech they like and not speech they don't like.

Probably same situation as in Europe, they're legally mandated to give access to people and companies to their service under FRAND conditions. If you're interested, the fee tables are for nets and stations [0][1].

> (should spam filters for email be banned because the violate the free speech of spammers?)

I submit that spam filters should be under the sole control of their end users. If I'm using a Yahoo or Gmail account (I'm not) I should have the option to disable the spam filter entirely, or to only use personal parameters that are trained on the mail only I received, and not email should ever be summarily blackholed without letting me know in some way. If an email bounces, the sender should know. If it's just filtered, it should be in the recipient's spam folder.
Yeah, but they didn’t even try preserving it! Lots were found in average storerooms and so on.
I bring up open protocols because I think they is necessary, if not sufficient, to keep the switching costs low.
>If you do not receive an email from twitter-hr@ by 5PM PST on Friday Nov. 4th, please email xxxxxxxx.

The problem I’ve faced is that the official live update arrival times are often wrong.

I’ve fantasized for years about engineering a network of self contained + solar powered microcontroller / camera units that I could place on top of bus stops to track them myself.

Then again, by the time I get around to it the official arrival times will likely have become more reliable.

Any rate, great write up- thanks for sharing!
It’s probably France
If you want to work there, fine, I hope it pays well! But I'm telling you, I saw a tweet when this all began about how someone once set about $2B on fire to buy Yahoo! and what fun they were looking forward to having (as a Twitter user) helping Elon set the new record for cash bonfire volume and speed-run, and from my perspective we are now watching that play out in real-time. I don't want to work there, I don't even want to be mentioned in the same sentence as there. You can find me on Mastodon from now on.
Congress investigating whether wet streets cause rain. -_-
Most of these enclaves and foreign colonies haven't really been kept to support the locals though, but more as a power play. A remote base of operations and a statement to the world. I truly doubt Thatcher really cared about the couple thousand of remote inhabitants during the falklands war, but rather the prospect of losing a strategic remote base and losing face in the geopolitical arena (as well as at home obviously)

Importing your own population into conquered territory and letting them vote is a dirty trick we don't accept from countries like Russia but using it as a justification ourselves undermines our legitimacy of that argument. The fact that these things happened a long time ago makes it a bit less of a statement but still it remains a double standard. The Crimean deportation of locals is also a long time ago but we still blame Russia for taking it over (and rightly so). I'm really happy to see governments finally admitting their mistakes like in this case.

The Falklands, Diego Garcia, Gibraltar are all in very strategic places. Now, there is something to be said about protecting the Falklands as Argentina isn't the most stable country in the world, but would the Gibraltar population really be so much worse off if they were ruled by Spain? The hundreds of thousands of British that live in Spain clearly don't think so.
Even late this warning has to be issued: restic still has serious problems with writing to samba shares - to the honor of the auhors we can see that the manual clearly tells you about that:

This is a very very naive take from someone who has no empathy and no understanding of macroeconomics.

In a down economy, human resources and artificially underutilized and many competent workers with solid financial discipline will still find themselves in financial trouble.

If you're willing to put a hole in your wall, preferably somewhere convenient, where you can also place the fridge, then yes, that could be useful.
Even such a filter is too often useless. Like, 4 out of 5 times. I rely more on logging and parameter inspection. E.g.:

(defn foo [a b]
(def a a)
(def b b)
(/ a b))

If the function fails, I have captured its input parameters right before the exception occurred and now I can inspect it from the REPL if 'b' is 0. From the REPL I can change the value of 'b' with simple `(def b 42)` or change the very definition of 'foo' and re-evaluate it again on the REPL with simple `(foo a b)`.

I even made myself an elisp function for inserting the '(def a a)' into the code https://github.com/Bost/corona_cases/blob/master/.dir-locals... (enjoy).
> By 9AM PST on Friday Nov. 4th

So confused. Isn't the U.S. still on DST until this Sunday, meaning the correct timezone at the Twitter HQ is in fact PDT (Pacific Daylight Time, UTC-7)? PST is Pacific Standard Time (UTC-8), i.e. "winter time".

Maybe they thought PST stands for Pacific Summer Time? Or this email was sent by someone from Europe, where DST ended last Sunday?

I don't think I made any statement here about whether he is good or bad. I've said that I find his public persona to be annoying, justified why I think that, and have said he's probably not as responsible for everything he's credited for than many of his supporters believe. I think that's a really reasonable comment to make - there are people frothing mad about him and there are people who are rabid supporters of him. But I haven't seen either in this thread.

Edit: ok I just saw someone call him “Elongated Muskrat” so now there is someone who is mad at him in the thread :-)
You have more room, mostly. A Prevost bus conversion is 45 feet long while a railcar is 80-ish feet long (less a few feet for the vestibule and/or rear platform). The rail car is wider, except when you park your bus and put the slide-outs out.

Of course, travel options are significantly broader with an RV since paved roads go everywhere. However you can't take an RV into some cities in the northeast - I know that Washington DC and Baltimore have banned them from their streets. Whereas Amtrak takes you right into the city center.
That’s on purpose, to avoid mold in the summer. And heating a kotatsu and a bed instead of an entire house is way more energy efficient

No, I meant finetuned. I also meant finetuned when I said trained. Experience with applying finetuned sentiment classifiers on real world data found gain vs cost of running to not be worth it. They remain nearly as brittle as cheaper classifiers and have a habit of gloming too much unto certain adjectives. They are also prone to overfitting on finetuned data's domain. Transformers trained not specifically on sentiment but on general domains like question answering or entailment are just leagues better for sentiment tasks.
The change you describe from N+1 to N+2 wasn’t made to defeat your hack. It was made because we got lots of complaints that people thought the filters were buggy/broken when they saw people who didn’t match their filters and because they were seeing irrelevant people, lowering the chance of a match. The set of people who already liked you were being served out of a different service than regular recommendations and it was, iirc, just a Redis list until fixed. (More generally, we never purposely made the recommendation algo worse to increase boosts or because people would only stay if they didn’t meet someone during my era, even if everyone thought that’s we did. I haven’t been involved in several years however.) In any case, sorry!

It's undercounting a lot - there are many people who use Gadgetbridge instead of Rebble, and I'd argue that most people use neither - the OG stock app and stock firmware forks perfectly fine to this day, even with the very first generation that's few months shy of a decade old, and which my wife still happily uses today.

So, a fraction of users using alternate firmware to the watch that's up to 10 years old - an eternity for modern electronics - and whose vendor shut down 6 years ago. I'd say it's quite a big number.

Why do you think that? Twitter has tonnes of journalists who are running a substack or patreon, Revue would have let Twitter get in on that revenue stream. Building a tool for longer form content seems like a totally reasonable leap for twitter, and crypto - whilst a bit bullshitty - would be a fine way of moving payments into twitter which is another great monetization strategy. All of those projects seem reasonable extensions of Twitters core business.
You call me an Internet snarler, but isn't what we're discussing Internet snarling? Anyway, I'm glad you have a friend who was touched by this and I'm sorry for your friend's loss.

I would like to suggest to live without a fridge - it is absolutely possible.

Of course it depends on many things, but if you adapt a little bit you will not need a fridge. Fresh food is more healthy, anyway.

I just got into the situation of living without a fridge while constantly travelling between two places. After a while I realized that I do not need a fridge at all. Even after settling on one place I still do not need it.

That's certainly not true in all European countries. In Switzerland, for example, you get 70% (80 for very low salaries) of your old salary for 1.5 years (2 years if you're over 50). After that, if you still don't have a job, you're on your own (if you're broke, you can apply for social welfare).
If you need to halve your workforce for some unknown reason, what is the correct/best way to do it?

EDIT “you shouldn’t have to cut your workforce and a half” is not relevant discussion to this question. Say your market implodes, the Fed triples your interest rates and no one can afford to buy your stock of spec homes. nobody wants your buggy whips anymore, Apple won’t let you target people across the globe anymore, the FDA unexpectedly blocks your promising drug under development. I can come up with reasons on a long where this might happen, however it may be. I would include “bad management made bad decisions, and we are having to right the ship” as one of those items.
If you think this is good oh boy do I have news for you. You don't need to "afford" fantastic insurance, healthcare is essential and needs to be free for everyone, which it is here.

In my experience, people in the USA don’t extend their moral virtues to foreign countries, and when they do it’s common for this to be done in an unequal fashion. Often, people will respond telling you that you’re guilty of “what-about-ism” despite you merely universalizing a value that they themselves claim to have. I’ve ceased trying to converse about moral virtues with my fellow Americans as a result. It’s every bit as unwelcome as talking money in the USA.
