I think it's a good question, and would mirror the spirit of some of the Creative Commons licenses [1] but I don't think the core problem is the license as such. The problem is that writing good open-source software and running a successful business are entirely different and somewhat contradictory skill sets.

Were I a billionaire, I'd just set up a program of grants to individual developers with proven track records of making things useful to the world. Something like the MacArthur Fellows program [2] (also known as "genius grants"). There's a lot of library code that we feel should just be free, and for whom pricing and charging for it would be such a giant pain in the ass that it's uneconomical.

Sometimes that work gets big enough that it can support the overhead of a non-profit that can go out and hustle grants and donations. E.g., numpy. [3] But it's not easy for a project to get to that level and then to attract the new set of right people to make it happen. I still think there's a huge gap between what we are funding and what's societally optimal to fund.

The reference to "apartheid state" is to Israel.

The State of Israel is in practice an apartheid state - specifically it treats citizens differently depending on whether they're Jews or not. Inside Israel, as I understand it, this is not a controversial observation, simply one side sees apartheid as a desirable situation and the other does not. Which we might observe is exactly how it was in South Africa...

Your use of terms like “conspiracy theory” make it seem like you’ve come to some very strong opinions about this specific debate.

Your original question at the top of this thread made it seem like you had a reasonable meta-question about whether it’s appropriate to “escalate” editorial conflicts to a journal, and that was answered by several posters. But I don’t think you really had a question: you seem to have a dog in this fight. Might I suggest that HN is not the right forum to pursue it.

So what do you do for people like me who without medication can't even do things we want to do or have an interest in, no matter how hard we try? It's not always as simple as being stimulated by different things.

Call it ADHD or not, in extreme cases it can be absolutely debilitating for people and it's not simply because they're lazy, or not trying.

Why not do it in reverse? Offer binaries for the people running regular systems, and then let people with irregular configurations compile or containerize the program themselves.

Seems like you'd save on a lot of redundant packaging and wasted data that way.
I think for the same weird reason why people tend to be OK with top athletes making billions while they are upset at Gates and Bezos. Don’t ask me what it is.

Dynamic Systems Approach to Development
Glad to have spurred some thought... thanks for telling me!
I am pretty sure that the best current estimation is on wikipedia. (I don't think wikipedia is biased, I've never seen any bias on it personally.)
Not sure how this would work, but I think it would be worth researching/testing:

* Essentially have regional or clustered versions of events/history

For example, Afghanistan will have a different perspective on the US invasion than the US, but I think there’s value in seeing what the other thinks. (Does *not* necessarily imply one is more correct than the other)

Then have some sort of ranking system where (not sure how this would happen) votes can be had on which perspective is more correct. This hopefully would weed out the intense/false perspectives, but still gives people the ability to see the different ones.

A core problem we have is what constitutes misinformation/disinformation/propaganda/truth

I think the incorrect approach we’ve tried to take is either having a vetting committee/website that evaluates what is true, or just outright censorship. This fuels the actual conspiracy theories because they can use this as grounds for their cause (since, at times these vetting bodies are verifiably wrong)

We cannot withhold information, it travels too quickly and is easy to circumvent without total authoritarian control.

And all it takes is a few “valid” cases for the authoritarian seeds to be sown in the soil of good intentions
They need bard as fact checker.. joke.

The problems I see is beside wrong answers, e.g. some Excel logic, that it loses its state in the middle.

As LLM work in a 3d graph space, it seems to often take some wrong shortcut in that graph space causing it to lose some important parts of the information.

They need to clean the rubbish connection between the graphs out, whats may be impossible.
Or to train it even more to make certain connections in the graph more "used".

> I want to give Orville a chance, but Seth Macfarlane humor and star trek matches about as well as stinky tofu and ice cream.

A lot of critics dismissed it early for that reason, assuming it was just going to be some kind of Family Guy in Space show.

They were wrong. There is humor in The Orville but it is not really like Family Guy humor (about which I think South Park nailed it in "Cartoon Wars"). On The Orville the humor is just a minor part of the show. They are not going for a comedy in space. They are going for science fiction drama with some comedy tossed in, when appropriate.

I think AnIdiotOnTheNet was wrong though to call it basically a new ST:TNG. It is much more a new ST:TOS. Seth Macfarlane thought that TOS had an optimistic outlook on the future that subsequent ST series had lost. The later series were in a darker future, and he wanted a series that brought back that TOS feel.

It's basically ST:TOS but with a few more jokes (mostly good ones), and instead of being set on the flagship of the fleet, crewed by the very best of the best, it is set on a ship that isn't expected to ever do anything important crewed by people whose careers have gone nowhere where they are expected to finish their terms of service in continued mediocrity.

The first season was OK. It has some pretty good ideas.

The second season continued having many good ideas, and the writers and actors had really figured things out so things really came together well.

Can I suggest an improvement? Vacuum is also a great isolator and combined this with an internal hot air balloon, the inside can be made lighter by using hot air with the same pressure but lower density. The air is way less dense in the stratosphere so there must be some kind of equilibrium that can be obtained that once an object is that high it requires little energy to keep it there. These kind of blimps only get more efficient the bigger they get.

I also have an idea for active vacuum isolation for housig, much better lifetime than passive vacuum panels. Too bad no known takes my vacuum engineering serious.
I understand your issues but I don't think they're as bad as you're making them out to be. Moreover, I don't see how you could resolve them without either (A) all the distros agreeing on overarching UI and desktop frameworks and sticking them or (B) every software developer customizing their app for each individual distribution.

On the "unnecessary stuff" side, do note that Flatpak uses a diff'ing algorithm for the runtimes such that if you install several, they won't take up duplicate space. This is a a reason I prefer them to AppImage.

Windows' trick to fixing DLL conflicts is to make a huge tree of DLL hard links that basically allow any permutation of common Windows DLL versions to be used together.

With many Linux distros, the expectation is that you run software from your distros maintainers which will do all the hard work of mixing and matching dependencies for you.

The trouble begins when you go outside of your distribution's supported software. Some solve this by building everything from source on unsupported platforms, others will just ship their preferred distro with their binary and run the entire thing as a container. Similar to what Windows does, except less optimised for storage.

The "old" way (putting the correct .so libraries next to your executable and using those) still works well but it's being replaced by static compilation in many newer projects.

Show HN: I made an extension to comment on any website
Hello HN,

One of the great things about HN is being able to see what other people think in the discussion. I find it exciting to read the comments and follow the conversations.

Unfortunately, not many websites enable people to leave comments. Some of them filter and control what people are allowed to say (e.g. reviews).

I thought it would be great to be able to comment on any website.

So I made an extension that lets you comment on any website.

The extension shows up as a small icon on the side of the webpage. It can be expanded so that you can leave your own comment, and see what other people have said.

The extension only uses the URL of the current website, and it does not track any of your activity. Moreover, the comments you make are completely anonymous.

I would love to hear your opinion about this!

And no, I’m not taking what OP said in bad faith. I’m taking it as exactly how they meant it.

They have no actual evidence (besides their keen observation and desire to discredit in-office work) and to say that people who prefer office work have poor/nonexistent social lives.

Yet they claim that people who prefer office work have poor/nonexistent social lives. I’m not sure but the traditional context of saying someone has a poor/nonexistent social life is rarely that of a compliment.

The article is bad, the first part based on impressions from pop-sources and Western memoirs, rather than scholarly sources.

> In part due to the lack of proper understanding of the practice and partly due to the influence of westernized urban bias towards the primitive folk practices of rural communities, modern Bhutanese urbanites, particularly those who are engaged in development and gender issues and who carry out their conversations in English, have inaccurately used the misnomer ‘night hunting’ in English to refer to this traditional practice although neither the word ‘night’ nor the word ‘hunting’ exists in the original terms used to refer to it in places where it is practised. The misnomer leads to a serious misinterpretation of the practice and leads the audience to think that there is a degree of exploitation and abuse, objectification, and animality involved as the word ‘hunting’ would imply.

If corporations are people - and if a single corporation is an 'independent entity separate from indidivuals that constitute it' - then there is only one logical classification that makes sense: if corporations are people, then they are also slaves.

People after all, have free will - and if they can't choose to quit their jobs, terminate their relationships with shareholders, executives, employees, etc., then they are in a position of slavery or at least, indentured servitude of some sort. If corporations are people, they are also owned entities, they can be traded and sold like slaves on an auction block in New Orleans were 200 years ago. This seems problematic from both legal and moral standpoints, doesn't it?

One interesting solution would be to give each corporation its own AI mind that could argue for the corporation's interests and exercise free will. This would of course be complicated - the corporation might independently negotiate contracts with shareholders (who supply capital) and employees (who supply labor), rather than be entirely beholden to the executive board (which, in this scenario, would be reduced to an entirely advisory role, if not eliminated entirely).

Another stipulation could be that the corporation, our independent intelligent AI entity, would always hold a majority ownership in itself, i.e. 51% of shares at least. Of course, this would also do away with holding corporations, shell corporations, and other forms of hidden ownership.

Well... it's an interesting idea. Of course, the corporation was originally set up as a legal entity to shield investors from legal liability for their actions, comparable to organized crime setups where the Dons reap the majority of the profits but never get their hands dirty themselves.

> Whether the corporation should be considered a person is a matter of active academic and public debate.

In my experience this is a US phenomenon. I am a lawyer in a different common law jurisdiction where corporate personhood is pretty much uncontroversial. Everyone knows that companies can deal in and own property, can enter into contracts, can sue and be sued. There is no real public debate about it. It seems to be controversial in the US because of the Citizens United decision.

I have to admit I don't fully understand the significance of the Citizens United decision. I get that it was based on the idea that corporations have the same rights as people under the constitution and that its effect was to increase the influence of money in politics. But if Citizens United held that it's illegal to restrict corporate spending on politics, presumably it must have already been illegal to restrict individuals' spending on politics, so presumably wealthy individuals could have spent their money on politics anyway (the only difference being that it's slightly less convenient when you can't use a corporation)?

If my understanding is wrong I'd be grateful to be educated.
Open-source developers are not supposed to customize their applications for distributions. Leave that to distro's maintainers, they know more about that.

Closed source? Your users are paying you for the headache of making your software run wherever the users need it to run. The differences aren't really that big unless you're shipping something deep in the stack or have to support ancient systems. And you still have to test software everywhere.
