You're right. MPL is a weak-copyleft license. I mistyped it, I don't know why. Fixed my comment with a note, thanks.

However, it still allows your code to be bundled inside a bigger work. The bigger work can be in any license (maybe not GPL, need to check), but MPL stays MPL. This doesn't prevent white-labeling the codebase, though.

As far as I read the MPL, the contribution back part is not mandatory, but encouraged by not affecting the larger work. It keeps the MPL part open, but doesn't enforce a "send patches back" policy.

Laughs in recognition

Early in my career, I had a code review with 2 Senior Engineers who absolutely hated each other.
The code review session ended with them screaming at each other and them almost getting into a physical fight. Till today, I still have no idea about what they were fighting about but it pretty much boiled down to the naming convention of a local variable (I kid you not!)
Becket (through Becket Price guide) told us what the market price was back then, only that it wasn't. We had no idea how many cards were being produced (it was A LOT) and we didn't even know that print run was an issue.

Today, card prices is all market driven (there are some bidding shenanigan's that happen though).

Today, people mostly buy graded cards, which have pop reports through the grading agency. There are also many good ways to know how many cards in a Print Run. Scotty B's cards on youtube goes over these in detail. Since there are serial numbered cards that have pack odds, you can reverse engineer the print run.

That being said, its not a wise idea to buy base cards anymore. What you really want is licensed serial numbered cards, preferably rookies with on card autos of the base card. Of course this is sport specific, such as in hockey the young guns cards are most important.

I have made about 40,000$ this year in revenue selling cards (revenue, not earnings - doesn't include cost).

If you truly read and understood the Roblox post-mortem you would understand that the problems that they had with Consul were partly and unintentionally self-inflicted and partly due to BoltDB. The "special build" was just early access to Hashi's already-ongoing work to replace boltdb with bbolt, which has long-since shipped.

The hyperbole applied to the description of the harm done to Roblox here I'm just going to ignore. Roblox is still popular. The company still has the reputation of a rock-solid engineering department. Roblox's stock isn't doing much differently than the rest of technology companies on the market and the "damage" you mention is vastly overstated anyway. In fact, Roblox's stock literally had a huge rally after and PEAKED within two weeks after the outage.
It seems like the article should have been "Can we please go back to having spare tires in cars?" Shit happens. But these days half the cars available don't include spares or a place to put them.

> pretty straightforward correlation.

I'm not sure. Switzerland seems to spend about the same as Germany in the last couple of years (of course the German system is also privatized to a significant degree) but Swiss GDP per capita is much higher.

If we look at spending as % of GDP Switzerland is actually below both Germany and France and about on par with Britain (~11%) while US spend more than 16.5%.

Netherlands where IIRC the system is also almost entirely private just with heavily regulated pricing is even a bit lower than all of the countries I mentioned.

Then again Switzerland and the Netherlands has a quite a bit younger population than Germany (median is lower by about 5 years) which must also play a part.

For most services it’s abundantly clear it’s calling the same imperative APIs under the covers you use as an external person because it gets stuck so often. Well, more often than you would think if declarative management of resources was at the top of Amazon’s mind when designing these services.

Most are one hit wonders. Most research mathematicians end up having at most 1 or 2 Ph.D. students. Most publish minor extensions of known results. The greats have an insight and end up doing a lot in that one minor area. Very few people have more than a couple of truly remarkable theorems.
The land has worth, the ability to control more of the fossil fuel streams to the West has value, the ability to hold a large chunk of the world's grain production has value, the population has value (in the most cynical sense of the word). Lots of people have been taken across the border into Russia proper including large numbers of children. This is fairly well documented. Also, Ukraine was on average richer per capita than Russia so to take down that neighbor may have looked like a nice way to make themselves look better.
Is there an english / eli5 if you like, summary of what this means?

I gather that today or yesterday an asteroid ~400m along it's biggest dimension ultimately came within x km of earth, that was close enough there was a nontrivial chance it would hit us? And this is big enough to make a 30 mile crater? And we only found out it was coming a couple days ago? Sounds like a pretty big deal if that's accurate.
Am I reading this data correctly?:

>I think that once you have more than X customers, you don't really need OSS testers and bug-reporters that much – your customers will be the first ones to file a ticket if anything is wrong. And as we saw with CentOS Stream, OSS users are not generally keen to be beta-testers.

In this case the customers they're losing (as well as the devs, testers, reporters, etc) aren't end users but companies who have built software offerings on top of Terraform. That's the class of user principally impacted by the change to the license. OSS users aren't stoked about testing, but developers who build on top of Terraform in order to eat will submit bug reports and PRs all day.
While that's great news, in recent years, AFAIC, the decision to use firefox over Chrome has been entirely unrelated to performance issues.

In my book, Chrome is now officially in the same doghouse IE6 was confined to back in the days: a buggy spying machine that is mostly a vehicle designed to shove Google's policies down the collective throats of internet users.

You'll probably get an original 3DS cheapish eventually, but the New 3DS models are gonna hold their prices and probably go up I imagine. The most advanced way to play the whole library on a system with the intended form factor, a lot of reason to not sell and a lot of reason to buy one as your primary DS device for the future.
I got a new 3DS XL in 2018 for about $60 and I've hardly ever seen them come close to that price since. Pretty sure they've gone up in price since then if anything.

DSi XL seems relatively underpriced at the moment too considering it's the only device with the original DS resolution that offers a pair of screens within the size range people expect as bare minimum now. Once you focus on how the resolution is off playing DS games on 3DS it can get pretty annoying (you can play native res with a ton of dead screen space too, mind). Wildly easy to hack too. DSi in particular can be a great gift now for how cheap they go with all the rooted stuff.
Not sure what sort of thought process went into Hashicorp thinking that going BSL was a good idea. I am exagerating but almost all of their code is community driven. So the biggest issue is that this will likely kill all of their profit.

Perhaps if they went down the certification strategy it would've been a safer gamble. Certified Hashicorp Terraform Practioner. 650 a cert, probably would've saved their arse.

The government does help... I have been helped by the government at times in my life.

But.

That doesn't negate my stance that everything they touch becomes worse, more expensive and we all suffer.

Healthcare? Some people are saved. Healthcare has never been more expensive and the unACA was passed on lie - like your plan, lie - keep your doctor, lie - save $2500/year, etc.

Childcare? They help a handful of people making it more expensive for everyone else.

Lockdowns? Mask mandates? The largest source of disinformation during the COVID "pandemic" was the US Government led by Fauci who has publicly admitted he made up statistics about stuff like "herd immunity" based on polling. Oh, big tech suppressed truth that went against narrative.

Pick any topic and you'll find that while yes, the government does help some people some times... on aggregate? the larger and more powerful and the more interference that comes from government the worse we are.

I'm a centrist and a realist. We won't exist without government. but only an idiot gives the government more power than ABSOLUTELY necessary and all you have to do is look around to see MOUNTAINS of evidence to that simple truth.

or, as you say, "a government is no more or less corrupt than the people they serve". Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. the people they server are corrupted by power... why would government be any different?

Kinda disappointed by the simulation, where are all the viral posts?

I've been digging around for a while and haven't found any posts with more than 20 faves. The accounts I've found with ~1 million followers have little to no engagement. I want to see how a post with a million faves holds up to the promises of "fast constant time".

I'm especially curious about these queries — fave-count and has-user-faved — since a couple years ago Twitter stopped checking has-user-faved when rendering posts more than a month or so old, so I imagine it was expensive at scale.

You have the option to track the latest update time and, during the minute immediately following this update, direct all reads to come from the leader. Additionally, you could oversee the replication lag among followers and block queries on any follower that lags more than a minute behind the leader.

For the client, it's feasible to retain the timestamp of its most recent write. In this way, the system can ensure that the replica responsible for any reads related to that user incorporates updates at minimum up to that recorded timestamp. If a replica isn't adequately current, the read can either be managed by another replica or the query can wait until the replica catches up. The timestamp might take the form of a logical timestamp, signifying the order of writes (e.g., log sequence number), or it could be based on the actual system clock, where synchronized clocks become vital.

When your replicas are spread across multiple datacenters—whether for user proximity or enhanced availability—there's an added layer of complexity. Requests requiring the leader's involvement must be directed to the datacenter housing the leader.
We're comparing just to the original consumer product, which is about the same as Mastodon is today. That's why we said "original consumer product" and not "Twitter's current consumer product".

Mastodon actually has more features than the original Twitter consumer product like hashtag follows, global timelines, and more sophisticated filtering/muting capabilities.

Some people argue it's not so expensive to build a scalable Twitter with modern tools, which is why we also included the comparison against Threads. That's a very recent data point showing how ridiculously expensive it is to build applications like this, and they didn't even start from scratch as Instagram/Meta already had infrastructure powering similar products.

> Well, no. If the American people doesn't want to partner with China because 1-3 millions in camps is too much to stomach

That's the part you are missing. American politicians including the president and his family receive millions from China. US businesses, including Hollywood seem quite happy to deal with China and bend over backwards for them. Hell, lots of products sold in the US are likely made in the very labor camps they are complaining about.

> There are backward steps and forward steps.

That would be fine if the people behind the backward step weren't still in charge. We cant claimed to have learned anything if we can't even bother to replace a few elderly politicians who voted for a couple decades of war crimes.
What is RICO, the law at the heart of Trump's Georgia criminal case?
Difficult to enforce externally I think, except when an employee of a company shares an infringement with the marketplace or the creator

My assumption: the reason serious companies will pay is that they don't want to make silly mistakes like license infringement for which they can be sued. If they want to use your lib/tool/etc, because it will speed up their development or help they make money in any other way, they will choose to pay you these $100 per year. If you gain a few (dozens, hundreds, thousands) clients like this, you're able to build a solid source of income, and since they buy a license on a subscription basis, it's likely you will keep the clients for the next year

> Exactly, you know the answer,

No. It was not a rhetorical device.

> you just don't like the implications.

I don't know which implications you're talking about, it was a question without prejudice or load.

> People somehow think that a business which started an open source project "deserves" to profit from it.

I do not agree. I don't hold a position stating that "TF should stay open, and companies should profit from it while giving it patches if you feel like it". I'm the opposite, and I find the approach to permissive licenses as "Ooo... Free tool to build a new product on and profit" as unethical to begin with. I put anything and everything I put out as A/GPLv3 or GFDL, because I produce that code for myself, on my free time, and I don't have a secret desire for it to be forked and closed down for internet cookie points.

If you want to use my tool for any reason (which are not very sophisticated to begin with), comply with GPL, or roll your own. I. Don't. Care.

I also pay for tons of things. Docker, cloud storage, programming fonts I use, anything I deem worth the money they're asking for.

I also use Vagrant a lot, share my Vagrantfiles (again under GPLv3), and if they begin to charge like Docker, I'll pay for it, if I deem it's worth the money they ask for.

However, at the end of the day, I'm a Free Software advocate. I use Free Software to the extent possible, and develop my software as Free Software. Not Open Source software under some permissive license to be grabbed and forked to death.

I'm interpreting your question as "are there privileged HN members with supervotes", excluding moderators, and who can single-handedly kill submissions or comments.

So far as I'm aware, no, and there are comments from dang and pg going back through the site history which argue strongly against distinguishing groups of profiles in any way.

The one possible exception is that YC founder's handles appear orange to one another at one point in time (pg discusses this in January 2013: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5025168>). The feature was disabled for performance reasons.

Dang mentions the feature still being active as of a year ago: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31727636>

I seem to recall a pg or dang discussion where showing this publicly created a social tension on the site, as in, one set of people distinguished from another.

dang discusses the (general lack of) secret superpowers here: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22767204>, which reiterates what's in the FAQ:

HN gives three features to YC: job ads (see above) and startup launches get placed on the front page, and YC founder names are displayed to other YC alumni in orange.

Segment Anything is neat, but segmentation is far from solved.

You might be overstating his obligations. In the US, calls for violence are illegal if they are imminent and likely. But you're still allowed to advocate for violence in more abstract ways (e.g., "all pedophiles should be shot").
