I can think of a much more prudent way to do that, namely, by legally segregating their non-contentious archiving (the wayback machine et al) from their legally contentious archiving such that legal threats to one entity cannot disrupt the other entity.

Hi Marcin,

I recognize you're in interesting position in Spacelift. Per your recent analyses you may not be impacted and in this case you probably do not want to pissoff Hashicorp folks :)

In reality though force better be responded with force and showing Hashcorp what what was Terraform will be successful as Open Source project with or without them is best way to get them to reconsider.

Respectfully disagree. His stalwart and ever-unpopular efforts from the Bush years down to the present to defend freedom of speech against the efforts of the security state to undermine it have been impressive. It is an ironic sign of the times that he was originally castigated as a leftist ideologue and is now deemed a right-wing nut by erstwhile fans.

As someone who lived years under a quasi-military dictatorship, requiring vigilance of one's environment before conducting frank political conversations, I will always cherish the freedom of speech guarantees in the U.S. and esteem the few remaining journalists who defend them.
It is worth noting that I had the perception, incorrect or not, that larger customers were being given priority to OpenAI APIs. It is good to see that you are reporting improvements.
I think most people naturally write pretty readable code. When I have seen messy code, it is usually because of poorly thought out abstractions rather than a clear instruction set with a clear function name. "What does the computer need to do?" is a powerful idea imo.
Good point, I was oversimplifying. A strong CEO can make the case that doing X or Y, while it may not maximize the share price directly, is the right thing to do for other reasons. Iger is actually such a "strong" CEO, but he has to pick his battles and where to expend social capital too.
This is indeed supremely irritating. Besides this deep nested directory structure every 'public class/interface/enum/record' have to in their own file. This whole thing creates tons of files and directories with trivial amount of code.

Aside from the gamification you see with Robin Hood, I don't have much issue with gambling on the stock market as it's one of the few gambles that makes the average bettor wealthier, so it doesn't have the same socially deleterious effect. Bettors may be going up against far more vicious sharks than you will ever see at a poker table, but that doesn't seem to be reason enough not to play the game.

It just needs to be strongly regulated, and not in the way it is now, where wealthy people are allowed more freedom than the poor.

completely agree. Even writing a book on "software literacy".

A small side note - most of us will know a manager who "used to code but stopped when went into management". But none of us know anyone who stopped reading and writing English (German, Japanese) when they went into management.

The difference might be that we don't have many companies that can be managed with code, or that a lot of people in management don't need to be there.

Edit: VW is an interesting case in point. It does not matter what a manager says, what the design document lays out. what matters is what the code says. And VW CTO knew this so he made the commits to the code base that tricked the emissions tests. That is management-by-code.

Mining isn't racist necessarily, but it is definitely done by exploiting people, and in ways that line up with the power structure at that place and time.

My wife did her (pharmacy) residency at a hospital in West Virginia, which is both incredibly poor, exploited heavily for coal mining (until the recent fracking boom surge in natural gas killed it), and very white. She definitely spent a lot of her time treating black lung and other mining diseases that didn't involve mining for uranium.

Mining exploits the land, it exploits the people who do it, and our civilization is built on it and absolutely requires enormous quantities of it. I don't have a larger point, just that I try to live with it.
We have no choice. It must be done, costs be damned.

Tell HN: Google Photos app backs up albums even if backup is off
tl;dr - Even if backup is turned off in the Google Photos app, albums (along with any photos and videos in them) are still backed up to the cloud.

One of the first things I do when setting up a new Android device is turn off backup in the Google Photos app, so you can imagine my surprise when I created an album to organize some photos only to later see cloud storage for my Google account go from 0 GB to 1 GB. I deleted the photos from the Google Photos website thinking I must have made a mistake. I double checked my backup setting, which was still off, and created a new album, but this time only adding a single photo. Sure enough, both the album and photo showed up on the website again.

After a bit of searching, it appears this is by design, since albums are specifically a "cloud" concept, and they don't exist locally on the device [1][2]. Of course Google never mentions any of this when creating albums or adding photos and videos to them, so to anyone using albums in the Google Photos app with backup turned off: all of your photos and videos are still being backed up, and there's nothing you can do about it short of deleting all of your albums and any photos and videos in them.

Russia's attempts to hack Ukrainian military operations
We at Oxide were honored to be asked to add our name to OpenTF Manifesto. Our statement:

At Oxide, our vision has been that on-premises infrastructure is deserving of a system consisting of both hardware and software, at once integrated and open. Ensuring Terraform users can easily deploy to Oxide has been essential for realizing this vision: we want customers of an Oxide rack to be able to use the tools that they know and love! And while HashiCorp's move to the BSL does not immediately affect Oxide (our Terraform provider is and remains MPLv2), we recognize that the ambiguity in both the license and HashCorp's language has created widespread concern that gives customers pause. We support the OpenTF efforts to assure an open source Terraform. It is our preference to see an MPLv2 Terraform as led by HashiCorp, and we join the call from the OpenTF signatories for HashiCorp to renew its social contract with the community by reverting the change of Terraform to the BSL. That said, we also agree with OpenTF's fallback position: a BSL-licensed Terraform is not in fact tenable; if Terraform must be forked into a foundation to assure its future, we will support these efforts. Open source comprises the foundation of the modern Internet, and is bigger than one company: it is the power of us all together to determine our fate. But we cannot take that foundation for granted -- and we must be willing to work to exercise that power to assure an open source future.

Thank you to the consortium here that is coming together to guide Hashi to see the wisdom in an open source Terraform!

It's sort of true. Like "no one got fired for buying IBM", no CEO gets fired for "raising share value". It's hard to argue that moves that raise the revenue and share price for a company are not in the best interest of the company and/or shareholders. Particularly when it's in a way that trades potential future value for realized value right now... the costs only get revealed in hindsight long after accountability for the CEO is possible.
> From what I've noticed, free speech advocacy isn't really about "allowing everything" but more about not applying more censorship than what is necessary and not doing it arbitrarily.

That's a nice phrasing but it doesn't hold up to what I've seen at all. Everyone has a different definition of what is "necessary" and anyone that gets (shadow-)banned is going to scream "Censorship!". I've moderated communities and watched this happen enough times to know.

There simply is no objective way to handle it, it's always going to subjective and there will always be false positives. The alternative is a hellscape.

HN has rules it adheres to but if someone finds a loophole or continues to walk "right up to the line" they probably aren't going to be around for long. I tried moderating a community once completely to the "letter of the law" and it turned out horribly. People abused that and drove off people who were kind and had interesting things to contribute. What was left was a few people who stuck it out and a bunch of trolls who knew they could get away with it.
Could you elaborate on these horror stories?

The root problem is the tail end of healthcare is enormously expensive, into the millions of dollars. Insuring a car is a minor expense, max $50k for the vast majority. It is the healthcare, that could require years of therapy and work done by extremely highly qualified people in short supply, using patented medicines, all wrapped up in liability protection, because if someone makes a mistake, you are eligible for up to millions of dollars in damages.

And also, if you are under age 50 and/or healthy, you are not just paying to insure your health in this calendar year, you are paying for healthcare older and/or sicker people are receiving. Health insurance premiums are more similar to a tax than an insurance premium.
This is reality of any successful Open Source ecosystem - folks who contribute the most (code, bug reports, marketing) in the project tend to be those who are making money on the project and these are the same folks who compete with you

>[...] not doing it arbitrarily. HN does quite well in this regard [...]

Hard disagree on the arbitrary part. What's considered "intellectual" or "curious conversation" depends entirely on dang's personal preference.

For example every time a Steve Jobs thread is posted, there inevitably are two major themes:

1. People fawning over how great a leader Steve allegedly was, despite his flaws

2. People going on about how Steve was a massive douchebag, in spite of his success with Apple

Neither of those topics are interesting, novel, or intellectually gratifying but only #2 is reliably censored by dang. CEO worship is on-topic here but criticism of those CEOs is apparently "not interesting".
Disney used to have an extremely lucrative niche, based around safe family brands. Franchising and parks were their money printers and their movies where just vehicles of advertisement. They kept access to their legacy movies in short supply and kept demand constant.

Current leadership has turned the company into one of many media companies and have exposed themselves to a high range of risk factors. They wanted to become king of the hill and Iger mimiced the predatory growth of big-tech. You are right to point out that Disney joined the trend of pure growth-chasing (plus cheap money from big ESG/DIE asset managers which lead to another host of issues down the line).
>> I don't know of any startup that has made significant inroads into this market. Anyone know why its so tough to break?

Because multiple parties in the system are both making money and control the standards of practice. This makes real competition incredibly difficult.
> I'm sure Paul Allen could have written an 8080 machine code interpreter if he wanted to

That's what I was thinking. These guys were pretty bright and an 8080 is not exactly a complex CPU. It wouldn't be a trivial task by any means, but I'm sure he or billg could have pulled it off.
At least he held had his integrity in one piece. That should count for something. What bugs me is why people would trust all these absolute nobodies with media coverage that makes you immediately question their sanity with their money. It's like picking any random junkie off the pill-bridge in Amsterdam and asking them to hold on to your cash for a while.

Matt glosses over the caselaw and rules..
This case is nowhere near as likely to succeed as he thinks.

I'll just quote the FTC itself here:
https://www.ftc.gov/advice-guidance/competition-guidance/gui...

First, Panini is not a small newcomer trying to break in, in fact, they had exclusive rights prior to Fanatics (and still do).

This case would be much more likely to succeed if it was a newcomer trying to break in.

As a result, Panini is going to have a hell of a time arguing that because somebody else won the contracts, it's now bad.

Second, Matt literally doesn't mention it, but all Fanatics would have to do anyway is show some set of procompetitive effects of the agreements, which is fairly easy to do.

See, e.g., https://www.justice.gov/archives/atr/competition-and-monopol...

(just to quote the DOJ)

Third: He throws in some stuff about MSRP, but cites no caselaw because MSRP's are legal, and even kicking out dealers who refuse to honor them is legal.

Again, see the FTC:
https://www.ftc.gov/advice-guidance/competition-guidance/gui...

I actually personally think MSRP and friends should have stayed per-se illegal, etc.

But it's not.

Another significant issue with this case overall is: The remedies won't fix anything - Panini will have a hell of a time showing that divestment or injunction would fix the market.

Instead, to create competition of any sort, you'd have to enjoin MLB/NFL/etc from exclusive dealing with a single trading card manufacturer.

Otherwise, whether it's panini or fanatics, you will still have a single licensed trading card manufacturer.

But MLB/et al are not party to the suit. So they can't be enjoined.

Their desire for "Fanatics is not allowed to sign exclusive contracts" would require that the MLB/et al not want exclusive contracts, which they do!

Panini knows this, and in practice they just want Fanatics to not be allowed to sign exclusive contracts. They themselves want to turn around and resign exclusive contracts forever :)

This is totally obvious to any judge, etc, and as a result, the suit will simply seem like sour grapes - they are not pissed that the market is being monopolized, they are pissed they are not the ones doing it. They will get really hard to answer questions about how the remedies will create competition in the market, rather than them monopolizing the two-party market instead.

In practice, if they want competition, they should be suing MLB/et al.

I don't give this case a super high chance of success.
It may succeed, for sure, but it's a much tougher road than Matt paints.
Not every first world country has a true single-payer healthcare system. There are many variations that work better than what we have. The difference is that in the US we have accepted profit maximization as the legitimate primary goal in the healthcare system.
Torvalds considered the anti-TiVo clause to be changing the deal and he didn't want to do that, and there's no way in GPLv3 to opt-out of the clause[0].

This is less "locking down devices is a human right" and more him being angry that the FSF was trying to butt into his project's affairs. He's also similarly angry about "GNU/Linux" as it sounds an awful lot like Stallman just demanding everyone stick "GNU" onto the name of Linus's kernel project.

Anyway all of this is going to seem really quaint in 2027 when Broadcom gets sued under DMCA 1201 by a rogue kernel contributor for evading the Linux linker's license checks[1] and they have to hurriedly rewrite them out of the kernel and relicense anyway.

[0] Granting a blanket exception doesn't work because others can just remove the exception. "No further restrictions" is an ironclad law of copyleft.

[1] The Linux kernel checks the declared license of loaded modules and refuses to link non-GPL-compatible code against any kernel symbol not marked as a user-space equivalent. The reason why this works this way is because Linux ships under GPLv2 plus an exception that says user-space APIs don't trip copyleft, so you can legally load code built to those APIs into the kernel, but anything else might violate GPL.

Since this is enforcing an interpretation of the GPL, this is a DMCA 1201 technical protection measure. You absolutely could make a DMCA 1201 anticircumvention claim in court against a proprietary driver developer that tried to evade the checks. Though Linus usually just bans their modules in the next kernel revision since he's mainly worried about keeping proprietary modules from generating spurious bug reports in Linux. But the lawsuit is still possible, since they're on GPLv2. If they had relicensed to GPLv3, this wouldn't be an issue.
Firefox is still hostile to vertical tabs, adding a useless sidebar header that can be hidden with css, but you have to know that and spend the possible hours it could take to figure out how. Then, since that's unsupported, you have to prepare for it to possibly be broken after every update.
