IAAL but IANAIPL

I appreciate you trying to prompt discussion of the issue and how it might be resolved within the legal system, but I think this misses the mark, for a few reasons:

(1) As others have pointed out, you've left open a sub licensing loophole, especially because the license does not require as a condition that the sublicensed version retain the notice of your copyright and license.

(2) The terms you use are vague. What is "machine learning"? Is it machine learning to use an organic neural network (i.e., for a flesh-and-blood person to train their mind on it)? Why or why not? Do you intend to make it illegal to view the code in an editor with adaptive autocorrect? What about just syntax highlighting? Surely when the editor "learns" your defined types and function prototypes, that could reasonably fall within the definition of "machine learning," couldn't it?

(3) Have you considered the interplay of copyright law and contract law here? You call this a license but it's more like a license agreement because you aren't just limiting your grant of copying permissions, you're limiting how it's used by the end user. Such an EULA falls well outside the domain of international copyright law and would be governed by individual jurisdictions' contract law. What constitutes a user's acceptance of your EULA? What jurisdiction governs?

Again, I don't practice in the area of IP; my take is only possibly (and if so, only slightly) more informed than the average HN user when it comes to this topic. Hopefully someone like kemitchell will weigh in.
you do get the benefit of the app author's knowledge of how to tweak the chromium env to run it reasonably well. And of course the community support.
Props to Slack for perfectly timing the market peak. They would be worth a fraction of what they got now.
This is the fun part about buying a house in a rural area with no real regulation enforcement. Part of the house is 70 years old. Another part is an addition built by a previous owner. Every maintenance item is a journey of adventure and discovery.

There's no less than three breaker panels in the house itself and it's never immediately clear which panel goes to which outlet/fixture/appliance.

I gave up installing a faucet in the kitchen and called a plumber. He cut the PVC monstrosity out from the cabinet and took it back to the shop to show his buddies.

You know that little drain line that comes from the AC to handle condensation? It is not a good idea to have the other end of it in the crawl space.
In this case it's actually a tax. "Pink tax" usually refers to a strictly market phenomenon whereby for whatever reason women are less price sensitive so they're willing to pay more or won't use the equivalent men's product.

I once saw an inverse pink tax - I got a 30% discount because I didn't care if my hardware set was pink (vs black) and the pink one (marked as supporting breast cancer research) had a woman on the cover. While I was perusing the two a man came by and asked me what the difference was and I said I think it's just pink. He refused to buy it and bought the black one instead. Idiot.

I did try explaining why the pink tax is mostly a market phenomenon using this counterexample as an explanatory tool but the person who I was talking to thought that the pink tax was axiomatic and could not get through her head why something marketed to women (and in this case literally pink) was cheaper. Also idiot.
I’m trying it right now and the initial results seem promising. The openai whisper voice to text works nearly flawlessly and everything else seems to be falling into place. I’m thinking of using local gpt or similar models to classify and then distribute requests to more programmed scripts.
Yeah that's pretty good. Not quite to where GitLab is, but in the right direction. GitLab is really helpful with self-hosting.
what do you mean no predators in the wild?
Well, that's all very well for those who can afford to vacation in Costa Rica for 3 months, but most of us have to actually earn money to survive, and have to work most days of the year to do so.

Of course, the conclusion this should lead to is that we have yet another very good reason why a modern healthy country should be providing Universal Basic Income.

I've never had it say 'I don't know', but it apologizes and admits it was wrong plenty.

Sometimes it comes up with a better, acceptably correct answer after that, sometimes it invents some new nonsense and apologizes again if you point out the contradictions, and often it just repeats the same nonsense in different words.

Okay, what if it was 3 feet away? What about 3.5 feet away? At which point do they stop being overzealous?

From a top-level comment: Everyone - everyone - is certain that the codes are all overzealous and their little thing needs an exception.

You built something that wasn't to code and now you're sad that they told you that you did it wrong, but allowed it to stand because in their judgement it wasn't critical enough to have you rework it? The IRC is freely available, just read the code and follow it! It's dead simple. They even have pictures: https://cdn-codes-pdf.iccsafe.org/bundles/document/new_docum...
The problem isn't public vs. private or in-house vs. consultants, the problem is bad or missing metrics. In most situations where work gets distributed to other entities there's also a lack of understanding the problem space and an inability to measure progress. The article mentions that for the vaccine rollout - who's to say that it would have worked out better done in a different way?
You understood the meaning well enough, which is the purpose of a word. Perhaps you need to embiggen your perspective.
We recently had a 'throwback Thursday', which means everyone was invited to come to the office and see their coworkers, etc. They even had bagels!

Maybe 1/5th of the office showed up. 3-4 times as many people as normal, but barely anyone.

> I'd say the critical question here would be whether these characteristics can also be found on the edible mushroom

That's a non-trivial question to answer because mushrooms from the same species can look very different based on the environmental conditions. But in this case it was giving me identifying characteristics that are not typical for the mushroom in question, but rather are typical for the deadly Galerina, likely because they are frequently mentioned together. (Since, you know, it's important to know what the deadly look alikes are for any given mushroom.)

Here's a video on cocktails that it came up with and the resultant taste tests by a master mixologist:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=419no81su64

I'm pretty into cocktails and I've never heard of the ones it came up with. Admittedly, the world of cocktails is huge and every single cocktail is 'just a riff' on some other one at the end of the day. In short, these drinks are new.

Futhermore, to me it shows 'learned' innovation on the AI's part. Like, the AI got ~95% of the way there, just what a human would do when trying to create and refine drinks.
Yes. Linux came before AMD64, but that’s irrelevant. Corporate UNIX was more popular than Linux in the 1990s. AMD64 launched with the Opteron in 2003. In 2004, it was making AMD hundreds of millions per quarter and it was beating both Sun and Intel in server sales. Intel and HP were trying to push Itanium at this point, and Itanium was performing quite poorly. By 2004, AMD Opteron was also doing better than IBM Power. AMD was was crushing it.

EDIT:
To give an idea of AMD at this point, a few customers of AMD buying Opteron were The Weather Channel, Siemens, Boeing, Lockheed, Ferrari, Racksaver, Volkswagon, Rackspace, University of Kentucky (these are the ones to have publicly stated they adopted Opteron whose news articles to the effect I could find). Revenue of Q3 2003 was $1.2 billion (about $2 billion today), and that was the first quarter to include AMD64.
> domain.net part is still susceptible to being seized

Yes it is, but how do you discover the domains? There could be just a few hundred users per domain. Then you have to expend substantial effort to seize each domain.

Meanwhile any affected user just moves to their second domain. Even if the authorities got much better at taking down domains the only issue would be increasing the number of extra domains per user.

I can't see how the authorities can beat this.
I didn't create a new context; doing so would not have been the height of hubris; and I didn't expect people to follow me, other than in the most basic (or so I thought) comprehension sense. You and DonHopkins are the only ones behaving badly enough to be accused of annihilating curious conversation. My few words cannot be accused of that.

I have seen the guidelines, and nowhere do I see DonHopkins' mouth-frothing or your arbitrary rule-setting there.

I appreciate that now you've read my comment in its correct context (that of the previous comment) you understand it and aren't trying to say anything in response other than some brand new iron laws of conversation and DonHopkins' gossipy nastiness, as that hopefully means you've at least accepted it for what it is. A simple truthful statement, designed to modify the predecessor which was not, in my opinion, sufficiently caveated.

Same issues here on M1 MacBook Pro. Most of my company is Windows-based so I don’t think they endure as much pain.
I'm 100% remote and do well, but I have to admit that even small amounts of in-office time were very effective at overcoming a lot of the communication issues and conflicts that show up in remote work.

Having an all-remote team with people who can work well remotely is a wonderful thing. It's rare to get a department full of people who can work well remotely, though.

I personally prefer companies that remove the people who can't handle remote work, but so many companies hired large numbers of unprepared people into remote jobs under unprepared managers in the past 3 years. You really have to be careful about team selection to build a fully functional remote team, but that wasn't happening during the hiring rush.
Trying to understand how the internals of the stock market work
There is a lot of information online about the stock market, but I am at a loss for something about how it actually works. From how online brokers actually execute a trade with the NYSE or NASDAQ, to basically anything else on how this system actually works. Sorry if there is an easy source for this information, I just haven't been able to find one.
Or maybe just don't cheat because it's not ethical?

~3 months ago the TC-39 (ES/JS language steering committee) hadn't moved their decorators proposal to Stage 3 and Typescript hadn't implemented it yet.

Typescript supported a much older (and different) decorators proposal under an experimental compiler flag, but my momma always taught me never to use flags marked "experimental" in Production.
That is a very wishful assessment of my identity, ironically given that I've never ever even discussed quantum mechanics on HN.

But yeah, I do act bashing when discussing politics. Do you feel this is somehow undeserved? I don't really see anyone else acting friendly - it's all just one ignorant two minutes hate after another.

Besides, English is obviously not my native language.
you'll see it called CGNAT (aka Carrier Grade NAT) and it can be a really big annoyance for a lot of things, usually I see it on mobile/cell connections but I've heard of some DSL providers here in the states using it too.
Project based but on-site for like one or two hours. Something where they consume a public api and build a UI usually a list on it. Will allow you to see their dev setup, etc... This will give you by far the most signals.

Discussions around state management, js libraries (react, vue, etc...), testing strategies (storybook, etc...) should also give you some signals too on their experience.
In my experience, consultants are a good, easy CYA policy, as well as being able to look good for promotions and whatnot if you get the big names.
That seems far and away the most common outcome for a lot of knowledge workers. More flexibility than the "bad old days" but not fully remote in the mountains somewhere either.

There will be fully remote jobs but it's not going to be the norm at most companies. And I suspect that people who are fully remote at companies that mostly aren't may feel at a disadvantage.
Maybe if company politics outweigh objective facts!? Or you need someone to give you an independent perspective? For companies it can be like a bit of therapy…

Is there anything more to your argument than that you want your media for free and don't want to pay for it?
MIT is a trademark; even assuming it was original enough to warrant copyright protection, it was founded in 1861 (by someone who died in 1882). Even under today's expansive copyright duration scheme, any copyright would have fallen into the public domain half a century ago.

Agree on your other points.
The Matrix team spent 15 years building SIP stacks before we gave up and created Matrix, so I can answer this with some confidence:

Superficially, Matrix looks a bit like SIP: for 1:1 calls, you send an m.call.invite (like a SIP INVITE) to someone; they answer with an m.call.answer (like a SIP 200 OK); eventually someone hangs up with an m.call.hangup (like a SIP BYE). However, the differences are:

* As a transport, everything goes over normal Matrix signalling (by default HTTPS+JSON) rather than SIP's mix of UDP and TLS sockets. As a result, no need for SIP's three-way handshakes inherited from its UDP transport

* As a result, you inherit Matrix's end-to-end-encryption and decentralisation for free (so no special Routes, Vias, Record-Routes, branch parameters etc from SIP - it uses the Matrix client-server and server-server APIs over HTTPS instead)

* Everything is trickle ICE by default for rapid call setup, no need to wait until you have all the ICE candidates to proceed with the call

* No offerful/offerless invites: everything is offerful.

* Matrix piggybacks on WebRTC for its media protocol, so you don't have the fragmentation of different media transports that SIP has inherited

* Matrix (as of https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/mat...) now supports multiparty native VoIP calls in the same conversation: effectively letting you signal full-mesh, SFU and MCU style multiway video/voip using the same mechanism as you'd use for a 1:1 call. This is probably the biggest difference in the end: with Matrix's VoIP you can jump straight in and have interoperable Zoom/Teams/Jitsi style conferences (as shown in the OP at https://youtu.be/eUPJ9zFV5IE?t=1513) - Matrix isn't just for boring old PSTN/PBX-style 1:1 calls, but for the conferences folks actually expect to use today.

You can play with it at https://call.element.io, and if you really want to compare with SIP, go to the developer tools in options and turn on callflow mode, which will draw little mermaid sequence diagrams of the call signalling for the calls, so you can see precisely what's going on :)
The reasons Big Tech hates unions (2022)
I think there are aspects of it that are getting worse.

Is React better than using vanilla JS? Yes. I like not storing state in the DOM.

Is it worth the layers of abstraction, both mental and infrastructural? This is a difficult question to answer.
When I worked for a regional water company, we were setup as a non-profit with a very old-school feel. Everything from dress codes and PTO to IBM mainframes.

“We’re like a family” was the motto and that was true, in the same way you have that dirt bag uncle and drama queen aunt that you invite to all the functions because they’re blood, we had the “he’s three years from retirement so we can’t get rid of them” relationships with tenured staff nearing their pension. We had a Network Analyst pulling around 90k a year that failed to train up over the years and fell behind to the point of uselessness. The entire job for this person was to “maintain our antivirus” which entailed installing and updating Macaffee, manually, on a few hundred machines. Maybe manning the help desk at lunch if they had to go out for calls here and there. No more, no less.

That, to me, is loyalty. It’s an awfully kind of loyalty in some sense but a beautiful kind at the same time.
> Keep in mind, the banks raised rates rapidly as soon as they knew the Fed was going to raise rates. The Fed took many months to get to 4.75% but the banks jumped ahead and raised rates almost instantly.

"Banks are intermediaries between the central bank (such as the Federal Reserve) and consumers and businesses. Banks borrow funds from the central bank at a certain rate and then lend those funds to their customers at a higher rate, earning a profit on the spread between the two rates."

> therefore companies need to adjust to a period of slower growth.

I think this is the missing piece for me. I didn't realize that since consumers will purchase less houses, the real estate sector will lag, and those who earn their living in it will have less discretionary spending to pump into the economy. From there (at scale), companies like Microsoft will grow less due to weakened consumer demand.

That and people who need to finance car purchases right now (new or used) would also be affected. If it costs them more to finance a car than it did 12 months ago, Microsoft/Amazon/Google/Facebook can expect to have weakened consumer demand.

So it isn't that Microsoft itself is directly impacted at a "we finance debt to pay our employees with the Federal Funds rate", but more that the Federal Reserve is trying to weaken consumer demand. Once that weakened demand reaches Microsoft, they need to adjust (lay off unprofitable teams/projects) to stay on their previously baked in growth projections that Wall Street expects to see/demands. Without this, Microsoft stock will go backwards because Wall Street wants to see perpetual continuous growth.
Any tax should be based on fair standards and not arbitrary categories.

I would hope this tax is based on E.G. the number of different fabrics in a garment, the complexity of construction steps / seam lengths relative to the utilized quantity of fabric (mm seam compared to mm^2 fabric), possibly excludes some considered basic nice things such as elastic support bands.

Ask HN: Office Multifunction Copier/Printers
Hi everyone, my office (~10 people) is looking to replace our 15-year-old copier and printer (a Konica-Minolta bizhub C280). Do you have one that you like (or despise)? I'd love to hear your experiences and recommendations if you have them.

Pertinents:

- We're probably looking to buy (or finance, rather than lease)

- Should scan and print letter (8.5 x 11 in.) and tabloid (11 x 17 in.)

- Works on a network

- Good color output

- Quality, prompt and friendly service

Ideally, we're looking for the scaled-up spiritual successor to an absolute tank like an HP LaserJet 4MP, or LaserJet 5000GN, but I understand that might be a tall order anymore.

Thanks in advance!
I mean that as the landscape of titles available changes, and what the author takes into consideration, the quality of the statement decreases.
Thanks for the links! It is very interesting, but I', not sure how/if what kind of influence this has on Matrix. Just because they were born out of a shady company, doesn't invalidate the project. Heck, we're using software (Disassemblers) that are maintained by the NSA (Ghidra) these days. Since they are open source (just like Matrix and Element) we can still be pretty sure that they're not doing anything shady.

Well few of the surprises in sciter SDK were solved by the author of Sciter Andrew,

> Try clicking on that tiny window with everyone's video feed on it. It gets bigger again into a full (and resizable) window with everyone's video feed, while the window you are sharing is still being shared (and outlined in red).

Yup, until you click away from that window, suddenly its the little window in the corner again and it is no longer available in Mission Control, well the little tiny window is.

So I end up clicking on that little window all the goddamn time just so I can see my co-workers and know who is talking.
