Microsoft Copilot is an abuse of open source. It is perhaps the greatest theft of intellectual property in human history.

We should do everything we can to defeat it.

That said, here is my Request For Comments regarding a slightly modified BSD 2-Clause License explicitly prohibiting Copilot-style use:

We suck at B2B sales, any advice?
Hi guys!

I come here to the almighty HN looking for answers!

We are a Canadian Startup called Enginehire. We provide a Saas to help childcare agencies manage their day-by-day operations and to better connect their customers with their final childcare providers (nannies, babysitters, etc).

By doing this, "accidentally" we created a network of more than 200 childcare agencies across the US, which are totally integrated into our software. Now we are trying to sell this network to companies that want to support their team members with childcare, by summiting in-home childcare booking requests through our platform and sending those to our network of agencies (if some of you would like to try our platform in one of your Startups it would be great! In this link you can find more info: corporate.enginehire.io).

Everything sounds great except that we are the worst at B2B sales! We have been reading that the best way to start is by tapping into our personal network, but we are not originally from the US (I'm from a small but beautiful country in South America, and my co-founder from a huge country in North America with a small population).

Any advice on where to start?

Shouldn't ban anyone as both sides play politics which is filled with tons of untruths and lies on both sides. Which you have a point even a Steve Bannon or AOC will make up things and lie. Maybe the reputation system avoids political speech or there is a huge bar because politics is always a shit-show. Overall what you bring up here is a huge problem that maybe can be solved somehow. For deepfakes i still feel strongly a system needs to be in place ..one i mentioned or something close to it.
We've seen some laws passed recently, which attempt to prevent social media companies from effective moderation. Yishan repeatedly makes a point here, that most forms of spam are not illegal. Rather recent case law[1, 2] has confirmed that even panhandling is protected speech. Prior to that, we saw Lloyd vs Tanner[3], which ruled that private property could function as a "town square" and censorship runs afoul of the first amendment. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act carves out a special exemption for websites that host user-generated content, and politicians on both sides of the aisle have set their sights on remodeling that law.

I'm really curious to see how this plays out. As far as I see it, a well-lawyered bot operator could completely undermine the ability of websites to moderate their content, and as Yishan aptly points out, they wouldn't stop at inflammatory content. Their goal would be to open the floodgates for commercial communications. It could completely ruin the open internet as we know it. Or, perhaps, it would merely limit the size of social media companies: once their user-base crosses whatever "town square" threshold is decided on, spammers have free reign. Interesting times we live in.

I suspect Microsoft's vision is for you to use Azure AD with site-local Read Only Domain Controllers running headless on Server Core in case of internet or Azure AD outages. Server Core is more competition to headful Windows Server, rather than Linux in particular.

The only great argument for running Windows Server is Exchange and Active Directory (or IIS for legacy .Net Framework applications). That being said though, Exchange is so janky you're better off outsourcing that if at all possible.
I had to drop off equipment once towards the end of a contract while the usual people responsible for accepting the return were out of office. I found the head of IT, typed up a paper saying "Anonym29 returned their equipment to Mr. Head of IT on [date] at [time]", put my signature on it, got his signature on it, made a copy for him, and kept the original - I didn't want the risk of the chain of custody getting mixed up and possibly have the company come after me for the cost of the equipment.

So maybe not "never sign anything" so much as "exercise good judgement in deciding what to sign, after carefully evaluating whether it will help you or hurt you to sign it"? Just a thought.
I partially have to concede on that point. The anology could have been better, and I should have put greater emphasis on the massive scale and the lack of recourse for those affected.

Nevertheless, stealing remains illegal so at the very least they have deprived the source code owners of their rights.

There would be people spending almost $100k and they can probably justify it. A gap year trip would be $x0k. Doing it in your 30s, you can probably justify spending more. Travel around for 6-24 months, and every night you're boondocking and cooking cheap in the vehicle saves you $100-200.

But you're right that there are definitely people doing it cheaper. We're an Australian family who bought an old bus in the US for $3500 and then spent $5-7k on fitting it out across two trips. We sold a half-share to another Australian and recouped some of the money. Car hire alone would be thousands per month and motels right now are not cheap, so it's worked for us. Gas costs remain the enduring issue, however, especially if you're moving around a lot to see things and not just living in a localised area.

From what I vaguely understand, part of the GitHub terms of service is granting GitHub / Microsoft various rights to store, index, etc. the contents of your repositories. That is, in addition to whatever license you choose to use for your project, you are granting GH/MS additional rights on top of that (if they are not already granted by the project license).

While I am not a lawyer / licensing expert, I would be very surprised if the terms of service did not include rights or some other loophole allowing it to be used for training machine learning systems[1]. So the actual license you'd use is probably irrelevant while it's hosted on GitHub.

[1] A paragraph from section D4 here https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-t... states:

"We need the legal right to do things like host Your Content, publish it, and share it. You grant us and our legal successors the right to store, archive, parse, and display Your Content, and make incidental copies, as necessary to provide the Service, including improving the Service over time. This license includes the right to do things like copy it to our database and make backups; show it to you and other users; parse it into a search index or otherwise analyze it on our servers; share it with other users; and perform it, in case Your Content is something like music or video."

I'd guess CoPilot would be covered by either the parsing or improving the service provisions.
> most people don't like this explanation and choose to believe in magic or spirits or whatever instead of physical reality.

You have it reversed. Math is a language tool to describe things, in a limited fashion (our current modeling). One is physical matter (even if it's antimatter). If you believe that there will be a language that can describe anything, it still doesn't manifest matter by speaking that language or describing it...unless you're into magic or spirits or whatever.

This disconnect has nothing to do with how well we do or do not understand physical phenomena. I think what the OP meant to say (and probably you support) is how the "mind" or how we think, can be described with mathematical models. Maybe one day we will have a full understanding, but we're not there yet and not currently in a way that is legally compelling.

Vanguard's got excellent funds and ETFs, but they're legendary in terms of having some of the worst customer support for their brokerage account.

Schwab/TD Ameritrade on the other hand, has kinda bad ETFs but have really good customer service. Besides, you can buy Vanguard ETFs / Mutual Funds in your Schwab account.

Go for customer service. There's some minor benefits in terms of how quickly you can enter / exit Vanguard positions if you get a Vanguard account, but overall its a better idea IMO to get a brokerage account with humans on the telephone whenever issues come up.

I'm also in E-Trade and they've worked out so far for me.

The one I'm most interested in is probably Fidelity? Good overall reviews, apparently pretty good customer service, and the ETFs / Mutual Funds / Bonds they offer seem pretty good too.

This is mostly true, though gear can matter significantly in specific situations. Sport and bird photography benefits from good autofocus and low noise at high sensitivity.

Also, the main thing that sets dedicated DSLR/mirrorless cameras apart from smartphones is the ability to trigger external flash. Artificial lighting can really change your photography.

That is because they commit more violent crimes. Did you know that?

See the last point.

In 99.9% of cases, people killed by police are commiting crimes.

Also note that asians have the lowest rate of being killed by police. I suppose it was asians that were the real whites all along? Or perhaps you simply can't make sweeping conclusions from this data.

Respectfully, I don't think that's correct, or possibly I am misreading your comment. IIUC, placing a key in /usr/share/keyrings does not allow those keys to sign any package, only the packages designated with "signed-by" in the apt list.

Sadly, plenty of applications still take the old "apt-key" approach of adding the keys globally (e.g., installing keys to /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d), but I think Signal's installation process is the correct/recommended approach for distributing apt packages securely.
Negative Checking
> The problem is not (just) the social media companies. It lies in us.

my take is that social networks opened a new 'space' and just like every new spaces, old rules / regulations / institutions got thrown out to enjoy the newfound freedom, until people experience the same issues.. aka the need for organization and will thus reinvent similar rules they went away from. It's a kind of cycle.

such freedom itself is not a benefit, it's more like removing brakes from your car to save weight and maintenance cost.
Not just of the internet but free speech as a whole now given the nature of how it's used.
I can personally attest otherwise. There are many like this, and many of those aren't even open to building a real relationship with their recruitees, but that seems to become apparent pretty quickly when trying to establish a friendly relationship. I have found that I get better placements and better rates of follow-up interview rounds with the ones I do have a stronger connection with, which is why I mention this. You don't have to send them Christmas cards or anything - just name and number/email of the ones you didn't hate, and maybe a star next to the ones you got along really well with :)

Ironically, it's probably best to buy stocks and crypto when they are in valleys like this rather than at peaks. The unemployment rate is still only 3.5% in the US, so anyone getting laid off is being hired back almost immediately with very little slack. The Fed would actually prefer to see higher unemployment around 6% to better manage inflation so they'll keep interest rates high until they see that happen.
> Filtering your feed doesn’t cause them not to vote against their interests, firebomb your store, or attempt to assassinate leaders.

Silencing people so that they will vote against their own interests - it’s the last thing I ever can wish. Ends badly.

As to firebombing and assasination - wouldn’t you rather have them discuss and plan such things openly, so that police can easily apprehend them?

Or, as I’ve already described here - in 1990 during Gorbachev’s glasnost (kinda sorta more freer speech) our county seat newspaper with a proud name Kommunist published my article about some successful economic experiment we’ve done in our town. In the next issue the same paper published letters of angry “workers” naming me “an enemy of the people”. Which is a pretty serious accusation in the Soviet Union, historically speaking. It basically meant I should be killed if Gorbachev ever loses power to conservatives. A death threat, basically. And that threat was THE most important information I’ve ever got in my life. Why on earth I would wish it silenced?
