That's a perspective from leveraging one limited mode of thought, albeit a prevalent one in the modern Western world. I think throughout most of human history, most humans would've had the ability to deal with both the implied and imprecise or ambiguous. I view mode of thought that disregards them as rather the more limited and incorrect one, as they ultimately form the basis of the notion of codified and explicit, via mechanisms such as implicit beliefs like "we can make a cooperative explicit system and abide by it", and so forth.

A lot of the UK's legal system itself rests on convention, tradition, and precedent, and isn't written, and moreso going back in time as evidence of this.

Enforcement has historically sometimes taken the form of kings' heads on pikes, when the explicit law is that the king does what he wants and suffers no consequences. The implied contract of just rule takes precedence.

Your insistence on a right to a gun for self-protection comes at the cost of others using their right to a gun for crime.

If nobody had guns, you wouldn't need to a gun to protect yourself from someone else with a gun.

The problem of course is that the genie is already out of the bottle. We can't take the guns away, they're all over the place in the USA already. Even if the Second Amendment was repealed, all that would happen is that only criminals would have guns.

We're fucked and there's no solution.

The AGPL defines "Corresponding Source" as "all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities".

Then in section 13 it says that "your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge".

Isn't "scripts to control those activities quite vague? Under those terms wouldn't AWS Proton, IBM Schematics, Env0, Digger, Spacelift, etc. be required to open-source a very large part of their product as well?

I don't know if it'd really be hard (you could list them, or have various limits on users or total revenue among all related companies). You could broadly include all subsidiaries, contractors working for Amazon, companies effectively under their control, etc. (Ultimately it'll be interpreted by a judge, not an algorithm, that probably makes it harder to get around.) There is nothing illegal about offering a license to everyone except Amazon, Microsoft, and Google.

But none of those licenses would be open source licenses. That's the problem with doing it — you can't do that in an open source license.

The no discrimination clauses are a requirement of the open source definition, not the law. (The law of course does have some non-discrimination requirements, not sure how many of those apply to copyright licenses. But none of the normal ones would prohibit "everyone but Amazon may use this".)

As someone who designs IoT devices like these for a living, the device manufacturers here are in many cases the smallest companies in the supply chain and have very little ability to influence things upstream of them, especially for specialty products or companies entering a new market. It's often a major win to get a chipmaker to pick up the phone and sell us their product, much less receive any support at all.

I wish I could put a label like this on all of my products and I've been wishing for this for over twenty years, but the reality on the ground is that our support ends when the support for the individual parts in our product ends. We've looked at our supply chain periodically to see if we can replace parts with better documented/supported comparable parts, but frequently there just really aren't any better options.

This is a great idea in concept, but I fear that the flaw in the FCC's proposed rulemaking is that only indirectly addresses the root cause (the software, documentation, and support/updates provided by chipmakers for their parts). Furthermore, by focusing on device manufacturers who are the weaker partners in the chain, the regulation is likely to punish smaller, more innovative manufacturers.

Give yourself as much leverage as you can get over their deployment cycles. Use both carrot and stick - Include features they can't live without with the hardest of deployment maintenance burdens, and make sure you have tight adherence to your software lifecycle - Every question about 1.0 should be answered with "We don't know, 1.0 is out of support" from the second that it's EOL date passes.

Include the currently running version in every logfile, if not every log statement. Make it clear to you where they are and run your own run-behind that upgrades only after they do. This will be painful, but it will save you overall time.
Agree this approach seems to be worth investigating further, but as a citizen of a non-US country, I'd like to see a solution that wasn't based on a US-centric set of controls and governance bodies.

These days, with nationalism and populism rampant across the world, I think we need a solution where no one country (or country's leader) can simply decide to turn off critical infrastructure for the rest of the world and/or hold the rest of the world to ransom. Then you run into questions of "do we really want (insert bad country) to be able to expose IOT source code to their evil hackers?".

This is a really difficult problem to solve, but ultimately I think ownership of the "keys" to unlock escrowed code needs to reside with (winging it here...) a body such as IEEE or ISO. Or possibly something like a global council where e.g. any 5 countries out of 7 can collaborate via a sharing of keys to release source code, but no one country is able to do so.
We don't want to allow people to utilize the resources we have. There are more houses than housed and unhoused people but we keep building more and pricing out the poors. The poors grow in number every year. We just don't care. We like our society this way. This is what we want.

It would help if there were reference designs and testsuites for common embedded tasks like remote updates, configuration storage, input validation, etc.

I don't do much embedded work these days, but I remember a lot of shoddy, ersatz designs based on random OSS components. I remember a small mfg of hardware devices used widely in payment processing tell me they were secure because "they used SSL" despite not taking care of physical or system security in a coherent, effective way.

Honestly, companies need to have some liability or other incentives to even care about security a lot of the time.

I also care for technical capabilities - such as not having to sacrifice multiple registers to operate on 32 bits of data, or having to issue multiple instructions to load and store 32 bits of data. I don't need to treat the 68000 as a completely different platform compared to when I write stuff that run on e.g. the 68020. I mainly need to accept the higher cycle counts.

What's also incredible about early Google is how FAST the company created unique technology that led to decades-long profits.

The company IPO'd in August 2004, less than 6 years after it was founded. I think the market cap was around $20 B then, and now it's in the trillions.

I don't think any other company since has done it that fast -- Stripe, Uber, AirBNB, Dropbox, etc.

Compare Facebook, a company that also grew quickly. It was founded in 2004 and IPO'd in 2012, so more like 8 years.

And not just IPO'd, but created BOTH interesting tech and product. Back in those days I loved using Google -- it's a shame that most people don't remember that, and don't have the chance to experience it.

People would say the same things about Google that they say today about generative AI -- I remember an acquaintance wrote a blog post "Is Google God?"

Also, if you compare OpenAI, they're about ~8 years in now, and obviously have done more than 99.9% of organizations in 8 years. But they're also not fantastically profitable, and there's a big "research preview" disclaimer below their main product.

...

I joined Google less than 7 years in, right after the IPO, and it was already a smoothly running machine. It already had 3,000 employees and a bunch of offices, and good management.

I do think the IPO changed the company permanently. There was a bunch of turnover around that time. I remember Wayne Rosing, the VP of engineering, left shortly after I joined. I maintained/rewrote tools written by early employees, and I'm sure they were all (rightfully) taking a victory lap, at least in their minds ...

Definitely sad to see the hollowing out of all that talent in the last ~10 years. I think the founders just weren't prepared for how big it would become, and the company got beyond them.
Zeihan is very partisan. It doesn't line up with either the current Democratic or Republican party lines, but it is extremely partisan and opinionated.

This is a good thing, it's a great antidote to those who say that the USA sucks or that the USA is losing. And it feels good to hear, which is why Zeihan is so popular.

Just don't read/listen to him in isolation. The OP asked for singular sources of news and I'm pushing back against that. Reading Zeihan is good. Reading only Zeihan isn't.

If electricity is very low cost then Hydrogen beats batteries for applications past a certain number of hour of operation. This is because batteries have linked power and energy density. To power a house for a hundred hours you need a battery that can power 100 houses for 1 hour. To power a house for 100 hours you only need a hydrogen tank and a small fuel cell. This is why even Tesla is calling for a 1 trillion dollar hydrogen market in 2050.

What makes hand written WASM too "low level"?

It isn't, really, what the Rust frameworks do is compile down to a specific interop, sure (JS + WASM, its not pure WASM due to lack of DOM access for starters).

Many flash chips have write enable pins at the hardware level. So this support really does still exist in theory!

However, these pins mostly aren't used for any kind of switch in basically every PCB design I've seen. Either it's "always enabled" so the storage can always be written, or it's a chip that's programmed from the factory and always disabled to prevent any kind of user update.

Canada is the same way except massive immigration, temporary foreign worker program, and foreign students allowed to work 40 hours a week (in case you were wondering if the student visas are legit) have driven up the price of housing beyond any reason.

I wouldn't doubt that some urgent cares do shady stuff. The ones I've dealt with were great. Knowledgeable doctors (not just NPs or PAs), decent facilities, variety of common services like x-ray, blood draws, etc. One upfront fee for the visit and additional services are cheap ($30 xray, $10 blood tests). Really not bad.

I think requiring 11 years of post high school education (undergrad + medical school + residency) is a pretty big reason why we don’t have enough primary care doctors.

It’s such a huge investment of time and money, that it’s very hard to convince anyone to get into the field.

We have this immutable education track, seemingly because that’s the way we’ve always done it in the US. But I’d be very curious if we actually achieve better outcomes than countries with shorter medical educations.

The article mentions that NPs and PAs also favor higher lying specialties - but it seems much easier to solve that supply and demand problem than paying the cost for more MDs

It was actually the complete opposite. In 2016 these recommendation systems were fairly unbiased. If Trump content was upvoted it was recommended. Then after his election tech companies had a never-again moment and started banning and demoting right-wing content even though it was popular, thus tipping the 2020 election.

1) I wouldn't really know because I haven't visited enough of them.

2) I'm not sure really any of them could be considered as "similar" enough to properly compare, even though they all now run on neoliberalism and free-market economies.

2a) if you compare it to Australia which really is similar in terms of mindset as a former colony, the UK is a sh*tshow. But Australia has endless mineral wealth to dig out of the ground and a large amount of primary economy like farming, which the UK doesn't have. It's more egalitarian, better wages, better opportunity, better chance to do what you want and be successful, all based on a British foundation. The UK has just crumbled outside of London and the south. People had money and kept it, those that didn't, still don't and it's hard to get it.
