If you still think Windows is a good OS today, then I don't know what to tell you. Microsoft realized about when Windows 10 came around that Desktop os/software isn't the future and is now trying to milk that cow for as long and hard as possible while putting the minimal amount of effort into further development. Just enough to still be more attractive to the masses than MacOS or Linux. But with everything moving to the cloud, they'll eventually run out of breath if there won't be something leading to a reversal of that trend.

And honestly, if you want your kid to tinker and break things and be able to look under the hood, isn't Linux the perfect choice anyways? At least if they have some interest in the technical aspects and don't just want a gaming rig.
The term is being used here to imply that the generated code is somehow bypassing the licensing requirements, which isn’t necessarily true, and certainly isn’t a substantiated claim.

You can read licensed code, learn from it, and then write your own code derived from that learning, without having committed a copyright violation.

You can also read licensed code, directly copy paste it into your codebase, and still not have committed a copyright violation, as long as you did so in a way that constituted fair use (which copy-pasting snippets certainly would).

There’s no copyright issue here at all, and rationally speaking there aren’t any legitimate misuse of open source concerns either. If these people were honest they’d just admit to feeling threatened by AI, but nobody would care about that, so they just try to manufacture some fake moral panic.
What do you mean by “there is no such thing as local law”?

You mean in the context of China specifically or in general?
The issue is that the Lime-like business model of scattering around e-scooters is fundamentally broken. They don't operate between pickup/dropoff spots nor can that be enforced. They intentionally expect these scooters to be dropped off in random places by riders. It's economically unfeasible to have employees constantly move around cities to gather them, and they'd have to license and pay for the occupation of public space to have dedicated dropoff/pickup spots.

The only shot at profitability of e-scooter sharing services depends on their ability to abuse public space without cost and dump all externalities on the communities they operate.
Genuine fondness? I suppose if I wasn't interested in languages per se I might as well have zero positive things to say about German. Being on the internet for 25 years, working in international teams, playing online games on international servers - there were weeks and months where I barely used any German on a given day, compared to English, and that's fine.

I also don't see a reason why you would support the region you were born at all, if you like something else better. Tons of people move away and have zero regrets. Does reverse nationalism exist? :P
Windows is losing on the “there’s a compatible driver” front, too. Not-so-old devices only have drivers for win <= 10, and don’t work on 11 (but they work on the latest Fedora)
> So I spent some time uninstalling all those apps. Only to figure out they were not gone from the system but only from his account's start menu.

This is infuriating, even as an anti-social adult who has no use for them and actively wants to demote them.
if 20km/h is a problem, why can't they just mandate a lower limit city-wide. Shared e-scooters are already heavily limited and regulated, physically can't go faster than 10km/h in large chunks of the city center already. Unlike cars or regular bicycles, shared e-scooters can be physically limited to any desired speed with one flip of a central switch. A total ban seems like looking for a scapegoat.
You say that as if Windows doesn't have the same problems. But it does. I've never had Windows "just work" for a long time. It's either the OEM installed one that's crammed full of bloatware, or you do a fresh install in which case you still have to dick around with:

1. Running the many cycles of updates and reboots that invariably need to happen on a fresh install. Oh yeah, and one hard reset or power loss when Windows update hangs, as it does regularly, can be enough to irreparably corrupt the installation and force you to reinstall.
2. Finding the drivers that were missed by Windows update *without* being tricked into downloading malware.
3. Finding and installing software without being tricked to download malware by SEO spam. And without every application adding itself to startup or installing 3rd party spyware, slowing down boot time.
4. Finding and changing all the settings whose defaults are making the system slow, insecure, etc. Some of these settings automatically change themselves back after some time btw, unless you use regedit or other hacks.
> how in the world is pressing a button on an electrical bicycle any different from pressing a button on a scooter?

I don't know about the US, but in Europe, light regulation only apply to electric bikes that provide pedal assistance, i.e. there is no propulsion if you don't start peddling (and as soon as you stop peddling). Ebikes that provide propulsion from just pressing a button would be regulated like mopeds (mandatory registration, insurance, helmet) because they're considered more dangerous.
> How is this Windows fault?

By allowing OEMs to do this? Microsoft could stop it if they had any interest in making Windows a more consistent and reasonable experience.

Yes, you can and should reinstall Windows, but you shouldn't have to.

WSL1 was interesting because it was a Linux compatibility layer for Windows. WSL2 is a VM that automatically provisions additional hardware and adds some paravirtualization for Nvidia GPUs.

Before WSL I was just using VMWare or VirtualBox to run a Linux instance on Windows. VSCode has the ssh extension that allowed me to develop within the Linux VM while appearing to be native.
The difference between the king of Thailand and Xi Jinping is that the former is basically a cultural institution, while the latter is a political figure who uses repression and censorship to consolidate power. Xi's power grab is not part of some Chinese cherished cultural tradition - it's just a power grab, and probably viewed as such even within the party.
It IS what this thread is about. His 3yo was out of sight (not by much, and was accompanied by his older siblings), and that was enough to get some busybodies to criticize his parenting. It's part of the same problem: that in America today, parents are considered "neglectful" if their children are out of their sight for even a minute. Heck, parents have had CPS and police visits just for letting their kids play in their fenced-in back yards!
What you are describing is what Prusa did to for example Lulzbot.
Prusa replaced Lulzbot based on price. Cheaper materials, cheaper labour in East Europe vs US, less logistic costs, less Regulation etc.
Why it's acceptable for this to happen in East Europe vs US and not in China vs Europe in this case?

It goes back to the same origins. Why do you trade? There has to be something to gain. Often that is a result of this act of war, expansion and domination.

Sure we can assume we just want to trade peacefully. History has said otherwise. We want to trade with the biggest trading partners and a lot of them grew by raiding others.
This is such a misrepresentation of the open-source landscape. Yes, there are people working on open-source projects who beg for donations; but there also are open-source projects maintained by full-time employees (Eleventy, paid by Netlify; React, paid by Facebook; Angular, paid by Google; Next.js, paid by Vercel; Linux, paid by various companies; etc.). If a person thinks that his efforts will be better compensated elsewhere, he can always start looking for a paid job.
Thank you. I also learned that Caltech has a course and book called “Learning from Data” which also seems to focus on foundations.
Speed for example does not apply. I did not seen bikes going 20mph on sidewalk with people. Ever. Bikes can go that fast, but they lack agility and acceleration so they dont do it in different places - not on side walk.

Also, it is simply not true that only elderly dislikes these services.
I moved to Aus from the UK about two years back. In Southampton I was getting 1000/40 for the equivalent of 100AUD a month, but a new fibre company had just started to offer 900/900 for 35AUD.

It’s been a bit of an eye-opener moving back here! I left at the end of the Gillard government, when the future of the Australian internet connection was bright, and came back wondering what had gone wrong!

You have to talk to your current investors about this. They do not want to lose all their money and you are in charge. So they want you to be incentivised to take the best option for them. Getting your incentives aligned with theirs is in their best interest.

> You can't take a bike easily into: a car, the subway, your flat, a shop, ...

Those places are getting more restrictive though. Some shops don't allow you to park anything inside the shop because it takes up space, some subways are banning e-scooters citing safety issues regarding not having equipment ready for dealing with large battery fires and so on.

Besides, there are foldable bikes that can take up as much space as a foldable e-scooter.

The close minded and privileged outlook of "just own a car/bike/get picked by someone" shows a disconnect with the reality of many people.

"The idea that their army is the coolest and will save us from aliens"

There have been occasional British TV shows/movies with this premise as well. That's not American culture, that's "what would happen if aliens invaded and we make a movie about that" culture.

The reason you think it's American is that only the Americans seem to make sci-fi these days. I don't know if that's budget or culture or what. On HN we talk a lot about how impoverished the Euro tech scene is vs the USA but it's not just tech. Italians use a lot of English words because the Euro movie/TV scene is also out to lunch. What was the last mega-franchise that came out of Europe? Probably Harry Potter? So, Europe but not EU. And Harry Potter was created in the UK but actually brought to worldwide attention thanks to investment by ... Americans.

My guess is it's due to the dominance of government funded media firms. What's the best known European sci-fi franchise? Dr Who? A relic that dates to the 50s. The BBC lost interest in sci fi and fantasy a long time ago. Too expensive, only popular with unpopular demographics. Far better to make yet another 1800s period drama.

I get what you're trying to say, but the paperwork isn't just to not get arrested. It's also to make sure your rocket doesn't flatten a building when it comes down uncontrolled, doesn't hit an airplane on the way up, doesn't crash into any other spacecraft in orbit, and doesn't turn into yet another piece of untracked space debris cluttering Earth orbit.

Yeah you could do that, but now even Ubuntu includes ads when invoking apt. There is no escape from the ads, and it will only get worse. Even flatpak must be immediately removed, and snaps for that matter. As it is adware clutter for the system.
It appears to be three.js, so there's a lot of Javascript involved too.

60-Bit Computing – By Babbage – The Chip Letter
I’m going through a similar experience for my kids. I’m super close to pulling a trigger on a iMac G3, which was the first computer I used as a kid (at the school computer lab). Not having it connected to the internet, preloaded with Kid Pix and some other games that I enjoyed as a kid.
> All these talks about Starlink -> Remember it's a bandaid solution to your governments poor planning and infrastructure rollout of a core utility / service.

Lots of core utilities aren't rolled out everywhere. You might need a different water source or use a septic tank rather than roll out central services everywhere, because it's so expensive per capita. Internet from a satellite seems a valid equivalent to that.
> My father had a TIA a few months ago, the ambulance was there in minutes

Sure, but there are plenty of anecdotes about ambulances taking hours to arrive right now, as well.

"Life-threatening" is also too fuzzy of a term, here. Don't get me wrong -- I'm an immigrant to the UK from the US, and I think things are better here for most people -- but mental health issues, gender-affirming care, etc. are not treated as life-threatening even when they genuinely are, and care is nearly impossible to get in a timely manner. I'm not especially well-connected to the trans community, but I have some friends who are, and it's quite common for trans people in the UK to move to the US because they can access care much easier and much faster.

Additionally, objective measures of wait times show them increasing unsustainably right now. :(
I think you're mixing up the data with the statements. Yes, nodes in a subtree are ordered, but that doesn't mean you can't re-order the statements creating those nodes. For example you could insert the nodes in reverse order at the correct position. It wouldn't make any difference to the tree itself.
As person from "other-country" I'm all for USA so called "interference" in any form and size. Because alternative is an occupation by shitholes like China, Russia and so on. USA so called "interference" usually brings progress and civilization, while quite real interference of anti-americans brings conservatism, corruption, slavery and general degradation. This works like a clockwork, all across the globe.

I’d been using Windows for so long, dealing with all the issues, random installs, shutdowns and all the crap.

Then one fateful day 3 years ago I installed linux, and I haven’t had to think about my computer ever since.

It’s absurd.
> seems to imply

It doesn't. It's crucial to understand how the socioeconomic landscape was shaped in context. Policies and historical movements are relevant to the analysis. Social factors such as racism/sexism are considered in "socioeconomic" analysis.

> Is that what you believe

No, I don't follow your reasoning. From an analysis perspective, you claimed that society would benefit from ignoring racism/sexism (social factors) in evaluating "amenities" associated with socioeconomic status. I think this provides lower resolution into issues plaguing society, not higher resolution.
I think the author hasn't considered this: I believe Copilot is trained on not only OSS on GitHub but also proprietary software. In terms of reproduction by Copilot, Copilot is not licensed to distribute OSS without license just as it is not licensed to distribute proprietary software. To any extent that OSS authors have a case against Copilot, so too do proprietary software authors, and likely moreso. If there is indeed a case against Copilot reproducing code, I'd expect it to be championed by well-financed corporations foremost.

> other large-area countries such as Germany or Australia as well

Putting Germany in the same category as Australia or the US seems a bit weird when the former two have truly continental dimensions whereas Germany is a bit smaller than California, although there's an interesting twist: Going by population-weighted density, Australia definitively comes out ahead and even the US is somewhat denser than Germany in that regard.

Though on the other hand the United Kingdom is much denser population-weighted-wise than all three of them, and yet from what I've gathered it's no perfect shining example of highspeed broadband rollout either…
They don't control global news. How many people watch Fox or CNN outside the USA?

The actual way this gets exported is via the HR firms and executive picks of American corporations. That then affects the funding of movies, TV shows, video games and everything downstream of that.

He's wrong about why that maze towards the end of the video doesn't empty out the supply tank. It's not surface tension, but rather it is the fact that the path goes up and down. The down parts of the path will be filled with air, and the up parts will be filled with water. Water is more dense than air, so the supply must have more pressure than the sum of all the heights of the up parts in order for water to flow.

This is why you don't have water pipes in your house go up and down loads of times. It can cause an air lock preventing water from flowing.
> My #1 priority is to get the financing closed for the business.

> The strategy I would want to run as CEO is likely not something my COO or board will want to get behind

I'd argue that your #1 priority as a CEO is building alignment between all stakeholders -yourself included- on the direction to move forward; everything else is downstream from that. If you close financing at terms you're not aligned with, with boardmembers who are signing up for a strat you are not aligned with, the business will be pushed into different directions, and shatter at these cross-forces.

I've seen this before, and the deterministic outcome from it is you parting ways with the company in 6-12 months' time, at which point it will be in a significantly worse shape / position than it is now.

Presently you have some level of movement freedom. I'd start by sketching out a strategy you think have a high expected value X probability of working, and a roadmap to getting there. I'd look for investors who are okay with signing up for that plan, at valuation that reflects the business's true value given that strategy is successful. Get people aligned with that goal, and execute on that.

The second issue, "What's in it for me?" flows downstream from above. If your own expected value for a successful outcome is no longer motivating for you, your incentives are at odds with the company. To align these, one useful question is: "Okay, you fire me today, find a competent CEO. What would that CEO ask for to drive this?". Sell your board on this question, and take that specific package -with the advantage of the company being that they don't have to go through the C-level search process. Operationally, this can include: a bonus for achieving milestones on the strategic roadmap, and market-level salary.

In short, I'd start with alignment. Everything else -including what's in it for you- flows from there.
Don't get me wrong here, but I don't think what you (perhaps sarcastically?) state here is a good idea.

If all adults agree to build mechanized genocidal murder factories that will remain a stain on humanity for centuries it is still wrong to do so.

Some rights are non-negotiable to my eyes. Even (or maybe especially) when a democratic majority decides to break them. Legality doesn't matter here. The concentration camps next to where I grew up were also legal during Nazi reign. That doesn't make them right, not back then, not now and not in the future.

I'd highly advise against a petty "let's se where that gets them"-stance when it comes to human rights issues, because those paying the price are not those who commit the atrocities.
In tech (which is what is relevant to this post), pay is much higher in US tech hubs than it is in London. I had to move from tech to finance (still in a tech role) in order to get anywhere near my Seattle-based tech salary when I moved to London.
