> The claim that GPL benefits large companies that want to maintain monopolistic market power is not supported by several developments in the years up till today.

It's also blatantly the exact opposite of what companies have always done, back to the early days of BSD Unix, which is use software licensed under simple, permissive terms to base proprietary codebases off of. Them making that claim must be in bad faith, given how absolutely contrary it is to reality how it directly attacks a reason people don't use those kinds of licenses.

I could bring up how proprietary software companies go out of their way to insult the GPL by calling it "viral" but the breathtaking dishonesty of that argument alone makes my case for me.

Huh! Unless you're using semaphores, you can also recreate similar situation with threads. Spin up a whole bunch of threads and send all of them towards some shared object or make 100s of requests with them.

There's not much difference between spinning up threads explicitly and creating async task with asyncio.create_task. In either case, you can throttle them with semaphores.
I think the students in this particular instance were repeating something they heard without any of the context or reasoning behind it.

It’s not that objective facts are always the tool of white supremacy - but rather that facts on their own can be used to reinforce white supremacist culture.

Right-wing media folks can point to a fact about black people being convicted of violent crimes at a higher rate than others in a way that carries the implication (or sometimes explicit point) that the black people or their culture must be the cause.

The idea is that this is a gross oversimplification and eschews many important factors about US history a la slavery, Jim Crow, redlining, etc that have disproportionally affected black communities which has caused generational poverty.

So just saying some fact uncritically is often a tool used by white supremacists (and others in countless contexts).

I’m mostly just responding because this lunacy isn’t what people who have studied and wrote about this extensively (such as the author) espouse - or at least it’s a massive oversimplification

Liabilities: Earnings Remittances Due to the U.S. Treasury
I am trying to get a better understanding of the implication of this chart. The values shown on it are clearly pushing to an extreme, but it's not clear to me if that's actually significant.

I understand that the Federal Reserve is not required to run at a surplus, but, if it does, it pays the surplus to the Treasury which is used to pay for government services and mitigate national debt. If the Fed runs at a deficit then nothing bad happens directly as it's a public service and can print money.

Is there anything more to this? Is a simplistic, yet accurate, interpretation that U.S. debt is more likely to grow when this chart is in the negative, but that no significant adverse effects are directly tied to these numbers?

If you failed to explain an implicit assumption, that's ok, as it's hard to communicate over forums. Introducing MMR (there is no reference to this in "another post") as if there was a misunderstanding on the poster's part is a non-sequitor at best and dishonest at worst.

> E.g. why can users of GPL stuff not just fork, just like BSD?

A GPL-licensed project can be forked. But, if you release work that uses or is derived from the GPL-licensed project, among other things:

1. you must include or make easily available the source code for your derived work.

2. roughly speaking, the license of your derived work cannot be less free than the GPL license (i.e. cannot infringe on rights granted by the original GPL license).

Releasing work derived from a BSD-licensed project does not have these requirements.

Most probably via the Mediterranean, this being 1495 that meant Venice, with some chances of the Southern French doing the transport itself across some part of Mediterranean as the Venetians were already beginning to not be that much interested in sailing. The Venetians themselves were purchasing the spices either from Alexandria or from Beirut.

There's a 1963 presentation by Ruggiero Romano, Alberto Tenenti and Ugo Tucci called Venise et la Route du Cap: 1499-1517, which has this table [1] of imports of spices in the Mediterranean Sea and Southern Europe going from the late 1490s to the early 1500s. One can see that the Portuguese only started bringing spices in Europe in 1501, and they started rivalling the Venetians in terms of quantities in 1503.

Toward the Fastest, Compatible JSON Decoder – Sonnet
Good morning.I hope this is not the wrong place to post… so let me introduce my first public Golang package. This is a JSON decoder called Sonnet ( https://github.com/sugawarayuuta/sonnet ) that has given faster results (at least in my environment) than Sonic - https://github.com/bytedance/sonic (which is said that it's the fastest) without the help of assembly!

JSON is a very well-known file format. It is used by everyone who does programming. However, it is also not uncommon to find problems with encoding/json and other third-party libraries. for more… (see https://github.com/sugawarayuuta/sonnet#problems-we-had )

I decided to create a new, standard library-compatible decoder that would be both easy to use and fast.

Thanks for reading, feel free to use, help, or ask questions, I look forward to hearing from you. All benchmarks and other information can be found in the link at the top.

Nearly half of white students admitted to Harvard between 2009 and 2014 were recruited athletes, legacy students, children of faculty and staff, or on the dean’s interest list—applicants whose parents or relatives have donated to Harvard, according to a 2019 study published in the National Bureau of Economic Research.

At Harvard, low-income students with top academic scores had an admit rate of 24% compared to 15% for all other applicants, according to a 2013 study by the school. Harvard has said it believes enrolling a diverse student body is important because the school wants students to learn to work with people from different backgrounds.

“The middle class tends to get a little bit neglected,” said Hafeez Lakhani, a private college counselor in New York who charges $1,200 an hour. “Twenty years ago, Ms. Younger would have had a good shot at an Ivy League school.”

Would different test-based or merit-based metrics radically change the result? After all, isn't the purpose of a holistic approach to college admissions basically to make the criterion not one of any measurement of quality merit, but of belonging to the right demographic mix that the college seeks to attain?

Further, why should colleges try to correct for lack of opportunity? Their job is to educate people, and not everyone is apt for higher education. Admitting a student with poor mathematical abilities into a rigorous engineering program is just setting that student up for failure, not recompensing him for opportunities lost or squandered earlier.
Something I didn't know much about, loading gauge. Everybody know that rails have a gauge that is different in different places.

I didn't know much about loading gauge and how big deal it is. Of course its totally logical once you think about it, but I never did.

Britain who build so much infrastructure in the Victorian period has tiny tunnels and bridges. So they have a small loading gauge. That has disadvantages, both for operations but also it makes electrification harder.

It's one thing to believe that you might be resurrected by a future society that has an interest in reviving you and restoring you to health. It's quite another thing to believe that they'll have the means or the inclination to revive your dog. What's more, there's a tremendous gap between the quality of human vs. animal medical care. (Which is why horses are shot after they break their leg, and why a first-line treatment for cancer in animals is euthanization.) There's no reason to assume that this gap will diminish at any point in the near-enough future.

While the universities can completely do that, they can't get an antitrust exception while they do. That's the issue here, I think. The universities are colluding with one another as regards pricing and financial aid. This was allowed under an exception to antitrust law so long as financial aid played no role in admissions. The group is alleging that financial aid, or the lack of it, plays a role in admitting rich students. If that's the case, it's possible (but not anywhere close to certain) that the universities don't qualify for the antitrust exception.

A student with a full family and access to tutors, with better mental health and social situation will be able to score significantly better.

However, the downside to "solving" this is significantly worse. By giving a headstart to students based on their superficial or socioeconomical characteristics creates perverse incentives in the system and disconnects it from a selection process.

Usually, countries that are not US solve this by providing free tutorships or lectures to aspiring students, scholarships and a fixed quota of free placements in the admission for top performing students (each country may have their own flavour of the policy, but the main thing they !fortunately! did not use to be based on race or gender).

It is usually much better, in my personal opinion, to provide the "help" to those who seek it rather than trying to equalize for outcome. Poor upbringing can and usually does damage and incapacitates individuals to an extent. But any movement among the lines of "not having issues or being better prepared means you have to do more work" explicitly discourages the optimal behaviour, incentivizing victim-hood and demoralizes individuals which did use the opportunities available to them or managed to create ones.

...do OkCupid match questions matter any more? AFAIK they long ago demoted "has a high match percentage" to being just one search-lens among many (one that's not taken into account in the weighting for any other search filter); removed the ability to search by question-answer; and removed all the previous gamifiication that got people answering more than the initial few match questions (so nobody who joined the service after ~5 years ago has more than the initial 10 onboarding questions answered.)

As far as I can tell, the whole "Q&A compatibility-vector fingerprint-matching" thing is just completely vestigial now, and OkCupid has just become another marque of the dating-industrial complex that is Match Group/IAC.
