This is a throwback to an earlier age and zeitgeist - that seems to be fast approaching again. The same crazy idea might not resurface, but someone in the distant future will maybe (likely?) find some of our own, present-day convictions and schemes equally harebrained (like - cough - a renewed all out arms race involving multiple types of WMDs ...).

Otherwise I found this quote interesting:

> Incredibly, one scientist enabling this horrific scheme was future visionary Carl Sagan. In fact, the existence of the project was only discovered in the 1990s because Sagan had mentioned it on an application to an elite university.

It is surprising that Cark Sagan would have anything to do with something like this (but again, a zeitgeist compels all of us to do things that won't stand the test of time). It is also concerning to think that there might be projects like this that never gets revealed to the public - until it's too late.
A comma-separated value (CSV) document is one of the most used formats for storing extensive data in a specific structure. It uses a comma (,) as the delimiter to separate each field in a row, and every row indicates a new record. Because CSV documents are text documents, many devices can read them without the need for extra software because they already have built-in applications that open and read text documents. Other document formats may require additional applications to open them.

CSV is sometimes called a character separator value document because the delimiter can be any character. However, the comma is most commonly used.

This article will show you how to import and export CSV data in your Excel files using the Syncfusion .NET Excel (XlsIO) library in C#.

WebAuthn is not Single Sign On (where you are centralising logins) -- it seems a lot of people on HN think that it is. I don't like SSO as the only option for a site (precisely for the centralisation reasons), but that's very explicitly not what WebAuthn is. The test page for WebAuthn (on their site) is completely self-hosted and every site I've seen that supports WebAuthn self-hosts it.

Here in Florida anhingas are commonly called “snake birds”. When they are swimming, the head pokes out of the water and looks similar to a snake, so perhaps that’s how they earned the name.

Just about every moving body of water or lake will have several of them on the shoreline stretching their wings to dry.

I explicitly didn’t touch the forced vaccination part in the article to avoid being misquoted tbh. As far as I can tell the United States did not make any undue coercive steps; are you talking about the period when some states required vaccination proof for entering public closed spaces?

If the copyrighted code was uploaded to GitHub by the owner, there's no problem with this. When you upload code to GitHub, one of the rights that you grant to GitHub is the right to use your content for "improving the Service over time". See D.4. License Grant to Us in the GitHub Terms of Service. Once it is up there, you also grant other users certain rights, like viewing public repos and forking repos into their own copies. See D.5. License Grant to Other Users. Even with the most restrictive protections in place, using GitHub requires you to give up certain rights.

A question would be if creating and training Copilot is "improving the Service over time". I would suspect that it would be, though.

There are still some open questions around what happens when Copilot suggests code verbatim, but these are mostly for the users of Copilot. Although I would hope that GitHub is thinking about offering information to ensure that users understand the source of code they use, if it may be protected, and what licenses it may be offered under. There are still some interesting legal questions here, but I don't think that the training of Copilot is one of them.

A more interesting question would be what GitHub does if someone uploads someone else's copyright-protected code to GitHub and it is used for training Copilot before it is removed. If you don't own the copyright, you can't grant GitHub the rights needed to use that code for anything, including improving the service.

Sure Regina vs Nigel Wright. The victim was Tesco because the blackmailer attempted to get Tesco to pay him to stop contaminating their food. They would lose money if the news got out their food was being contaminated.

I believe the real complaint here is that you can't buy and use a Pixel at all without ending up as a row in Google's database that may include hardware identifiers, network details, you're location, your phone number, etc.

When buying a phone directly from Google you are indeed buying the hardware but you don't actually own the software. The OS will work only if Google still supports it and allows you to use it. The article is raising the point that even if you don't want to use Google's software and instead want to jump straight to your own OS installation you can't avoid their OS initialization steps and any network traffic sent back to Google first
Perhaps the mechanism is to explode the bomb close enough to the surface of the asteroid to heat it with the x-ray pulse and cause ejection of debris from the surface--that would impart a reaction force on the asteroid.

To the Austrians out there: you can theorize and even model scenarios where this is not only a bad but a terrible idea but I would like to point out some empirically successful government institutions of managed resources in free parts of the world:

Yea, the commies accidentally created famines, but the root cause was their refusal to engage with anything other than their theories and model… which, should sound like the former issue raised with their economic counterparts…

Web3 isn’t decentralized the way most people use it. Most NfTs are just URLs. Like most things in crypto it’s just a scam.

The most successful current decentralized systems are probably BitTorrent and Mastodon. BitTorrent arose due to heavy handed copyright enforcement and Mastodon got popular in response to the Musk takeover of Twitter. In both cases these are examples of problems decentralization solves.

If the political situation continues to deteriorate I could see decentralization becoming more popular.
> unless third party providers get to become, by explicit user permission and setup, A first class citizen

I'm not keen on handing my identity over to a third-party to manage. And I share the concerns of the commenter up-thread that TLA agencies have fingers in this pie; if they don't, then they're not doing their jobs.

I had a go at implementing oAuth and self-hosting it; but part of the problem with (some of) these open protocols is that people with much more time on their hands than you, and with membership on the specification committees, start messing with the protocols and making them much more complicated. That happened to CalDAV - I wrote a CalDAV server, but it was obsolete as soon as it was finished, because the specs had already moved on.
OK so it will be _possible_, but will Google, Apple, Microsoft, et al actually implement this functionality? There's really no guarantee of that. I certainly wouldn't bet on it.

This is correct. I suspect that the colorization precedencies will come back into play https://chart.copyrightdata.com/Colorization.html

Basically if you take something then feed new info into it is that new thing a new thing or a derivative of that work or other? With these models the data and mathmatical spline is so smeared across thousands of endpoints it is hard to tell. However, I do not think the courts have to think about the details of how the models work. They can do something else so a jury can get its head around it.

But basically the courts will probably simplify it into copyright things go in one side. Other things come out the other that sort of kind of resemble the original thing. Do not worry about the details of how it is done. Is that new thing owned by the original copyright holder? Or many holders, as it is smeared into a hundred other items that may or may not have copyright holders? Or is it a new work? Or is it a derivative work just colored?

This could go either way. As someone put it very nicely here a few weeks ago. These AIs are like the most amazing auto complete you have ever seen. Now in copyright if you make something and I independently come up with the same exact thing. Also I can prove that I am in very little trouble. Now in this case without that input code that AI model probably would not predict that exact string. But it in some cases exactly predict it again but can predict thousands of other things also. Is that prediction copyrightable? What if it predicts part of the code but with something else? I as a 3rd party who did not create the model and just used it and got the code what are my liabilities? Then if it is what are the consequences of that? The courts will have to decide eventually.

Not every game is on PC (e.g NHL series), and some popular games that are, aren’t the best versions available (e.g. Last of Us)
Depends on what the "you" is here.

If the "you" is the team, go ahead. Add anything you want, as long as you deliver what you promised in the beginning of the sprint.

If the "you" is an external person asking for a "quick job", then the default answer is "talk to the scrum master" whose default answer will be "No.". Then they can start discussing if it is so urgent and important that it can't wait 1-10 business days for the next sprint and/or small enough not to disrupt other work.

The rules are there to protect the team. If the team is willing to take ad-hoc work, nothing in the agile rules says they can't do so. The point is that nobody outside of the team can force them to take on extra work mid-sprint and disrupt their planned work.
"No Adultery" is typically a term of entering a relationship. We can liken that to code licensing. Cheating is explicitly established as being _against_ the ad-hoc contract of the relationship.

Conversely, open source licenses explicitly state that an end-user may further distribute that source code to anywhere they wish.
> Then comes Python, which introduces the same nightmares which the author experienced. Python packages that use system shared libraries are troublesome.

The nightmares come from pypi packages and their assumptions that e.g. the particular version of `libfoo.so` that happens to be in your `/usr/lib` at the time of installation is the one you need it to link against, which is a very crass assumption in 2023. Nix doesn't hide you from this. But it's quite straightforward to write your own nix packages based on upstream python packages which should work fine alongside other nix packages.

By and large, nix does not play particularly well with other package managers, because the nix view is that it's absurd having 7 different package managers fighting for control of the same system.

If explosion happens when not combined, particles from the bomb hit the asteroid and transfer their momentum to the rocket.

Valentina Lisitsa Plays Philip Glass
Great comment. If you are enforcing due dates, you are doing it wrong, and stacking up debt and creating bad quality. It's about transparency. As a developer I never loved transparency, because being imperfect, I would sometimes make mistakes. As a manager, I cannot see how anything can be done correctly without transparency. It's not about the developer, it's about the quality analyst, the dev/ops, the UX designer, the customer, the documentation, the salesperson, the stakeholder, the investor, the business analyst, the quality analyst, the configuration analyst, etc.
The protection in Scrum is "opt out". By default the process says that you're protected.

If the team feels that they don't need it or want it, they can drop it and just hang an "extra work and ad-hoc requests welcome" sign on their team area :)

Most teams I've worked with want to focus on the agreed work just among the team for the assigned sprint length and not have to deal with ad-hoc requests.
> Mr. Geist also accused the government of burying the change, by putting it near the bottom of a nearly 450-page budget bill last spring. The government didn’t highlight the copyright act changes in any of its documents about that bill.

> Yea, the commies accidentally created famines

I'd actually argue the stalinists created famines not by accident but at least partially by intent. Their economic modelling and planning were terrible, yes -- in part because of ideological blindness you mention. But the existence of the NEP for a short period of time in the 20s shows that at least some of the Bolsheviks were able to demonstrate more flexible thinking.

But they were also legitimately terrible, damaged, malevolent people who were the products of a nasty civil war. Starving their perceived enemies and brutalizing whole populations to do so was part of their MO.
They are also part of history classes in Germany. Especially the 1618 Defenestration, which started the Thirty Years War (arguably the most influential war in European history, even though that's a title with lots of contenders).
Thank you - very helpful article
One relatively simple answer is to just add to the license the term that it nor its derivative works can not be uploaded to Github or be used to train any AI. It will be wildly breached because no one cares about the license but it does at least give you some legal recourse if you choose to pursue it. You aren't required to just use GPL V2-3 you can amend the terms however you wish.
