>Asking builders to ONLY use maximally permissive licenses is equivalent to telling people never to release anything they're not ok with being used in every possible way.

That's exactly right, and it shouldn't be their call how someone uses their thing. When I acquire a hammer, I don't have to sign an agreement that it will never be used to build a wall, and the world is better for this. Just because you have an idea, you shouldn't be granted the legal power to send the police after people who use your idea "the wrong way". To me, this goes just as much for copyright as it does for this new trend of "ethical" licences.

>On a practical level this would massively chill research, as most builders and engineers I know give significant consideration to the impact of their work

Good? People who develop things that can be used for harm and then act entitled to be the arbiter of what that "harm" is are just kidding themselves into trying to have their cake and eat it too. For the things that cause real harm, the actors that are going to cause the most harm (nation states) aren't going to listen to what you have to say no matter what (a recent film comes to mind).

This is so nice!

I checked out the map, works great even outside of the US/EU. I checked my favorite local food chain, routes are very good. I found one missing, followed the lead to OSM and updated the venue data. Things gets interesting when you can edit the data behind the scenes! Kudos to people behind both projects!
This gets complicated, having no reason to know that something is copyrighted is a defense.

So if your employee installed pirated 3rd party software you’re facing strict liability. However, if a third party is reproducing their collage roommates drawing from memory then it’s effectively impossible for you to verify if something is a derivative work.

Dalle is effectively Getty images, if you’re buying works from them you can only assume it’s free of copyright issues.
Other clickbait titles could be "Eating fruit and vegetables accelerates cancer". Which is frankly not true. It requires the BACH1 protein to be present in tumor cells.

The claim more simplified would be something like excess antioxidants help protect cells and thus grow. Also reasoning as to why you don't take high-dose antioxidants when going through treatment. Because it can interfere through protective mechanisms.

The irony of this research is this somewhat brings up the age-old debate on Pauling's cancer work yet again.
yep, agreed. I think of it as a tradeoff, where a huge amount of effort (and opportunity cost) is required for marginal gains after a certain point. Becoming a "Master of One" requires giving up 20 other things, and the breadth of those other activities is what gives me joy, purpose, meaning, variation, etc. As long as I'm okay with not being a world class sponsored climber, or exhibiting photos at the smithsonian then I can just enjoy what I happen to be motivated by right now, which feels healthier anyway. My friends who've optimized for a single thing have a hard time when they eventually decided to pursue something else.

NO! What it's saying is: If you provide a tool, you are not entitled to control how I use that tool. I am allowed to retain my autonomy to use that tool in any legal way I choose.

What it absolutely is NOT saying is: Society has to let anything be fair game.

We can still have laws, regulations, prohibitions, etc - but they can't come from a bunch of rich technocrats who believe that they are the moral police. That way lies ALL sorts of terrible, terrible outcomes.
I don't see the irony: one is debate, the other is an attempt to sidestep debate.
If a puncture isn't bad enough to require immediate road side repair then I'd say yeah, good tires should help a lot.

Thicker tubes can help, too. I use some really beefy tubes. They're way heavier but it's worth it to me. I went from a few flats a month to no flats a year, back when I commuted by bike in Austin.
Layoffs allow companies to reduce their cost. Labor shortages can stem from various sources - lack of skills need, not paying a fair wage etc. And layoffs and shortages can and often are orthogonal.

For example: In the US, the layoffs are largely in tech sector. These companies took advantage but perhaps too much (humans and greed etc) of low interest rates for more than a decade + the crescendo of the pandemic money injection which all made it easy to borrow capital and hire more people than needed. It’s like you don’t realized you have had too much alcohol till the next morning. The night of the party, In the moment you can justify “just one more” drink a few times. That’s your layoffs.

On the other hand, I keep hearing that there is a massive shortage of restaurant staff these days. None of these restaurants owners want to pay their employees a fair wage. They don’t realize that at the receiving end of their employer - employee relationship is also a human who is just like them. Who simply wants a better life for the most part. Tipping culture is out of hand - restaurant owners say that if they pay their staff a fair wage they have to raise their prices. So these morons think that keeping the prices low will attract more customers but the reality is that the customer still pays more for their food as they will need to tip. That’s your shortages.

One of the big problems here is real wages in America have been stagnant for 30+ years [1]. People are being asked to do more as cost of living keeps rising while making the same amount of money. Nobody wants to address it let alone talk about it. The biggest irony in America is there is lobby for almost any kind of business. But there is no lobby for the people of the country. So what ensues is a rat race. People trying their hardest “make it” as that’s what is in their control.

Have you tried SvelteKit yet? I can't say it lacks magic, but that magic is focused on eliminating boilerplate, not hiding where everything is coming from and going to.

It is jarring at first when you look at your code and say, "Wait, what else do I need to do?" And there's nothing left.

const { count, setCount } = useState(0);

becomes

let count = 0;

There is no more useMemo(…) or useEffect(…). They just don't exist. There's no need for them. State management "just works" by using a store variable like $store. No more explicit subscribe and then having to remember to set up an event callback to unsubscribe and avoid a resource leak.

Noise caused by residents of high-density housing is typically well-regulated by community standards and peer pressure. Eight years ago, when I was touring a model unit, I asked the landlady if it was quiet here, and she said yes, other than people coming home from work. And this has proven true. 95% of the time is it peaceful, quiet, and idyllic. I live in very close proximity to 100 other families encircling a courtyard. I often hear swimmers in the pool, but I seldom hear loud amplified music, fights, dogs unduly barking at nothing, or other disturbing noises.

I live in a college town, but I do not live in a college community. As such, the city has rather strict and extensive ordinances against noise, such as that generated by parties. Therefore, both the landlady and law enforcement are on our side if we ever have trouble with noisy neighbors.

I don't know how it is in other cities. I've heard from friends who lived in Manhattan that sometimes the noise was intolerable, but nothing could be done about it. Perhaps if neighbors don't care about neighbors, that's what happens. We have yet to progress to such anarchy around here, fortunately.
Absolutely never build on top of Google. They steam roll you and then drive the steamroller into the wrecking yard.
This is a great idea, but I’m not convinced it would work in the SF bay area. There’s a statewide mandate to reduce commute miles (note that the metric is not commute time, or commute pollution), and most cities have implemented this by introducing punitive light timings and removing car lanes.

To make the latter politically acceptable, they usually add “bike lanes”, which have complicated concrete barriers lining them, and are painted with solid green paint that is slick when covered in wet leaves.

Ignoring the obvious problems (the barriers would, at best, bend a rim if you swerved into them), they don’t aren’t designed to be possible to sweep, so they’re frequently too dirty to ride in, and many areas have stopped reliably trimming encroaching tree branches.

(Sometimes, they convert car lanes to “bus lanes”, which are just normal lanes, but bus services are incredibly infrequent, so the lanes sit idle 99% of the time. Ironically, those lanes seem well maintained.).

The upshot is that now bikes get to share one fewer lane with cars than before, for a given number of commuters, drive times are much higher, fuel economy is much lower, and (based on breathing the non-cabin-filtered air when riding my bike) air pollution on city streets is much higher.

Of course, covid helped them meet their metrics, so there’s also a looming property tax and commercial real estate crisis.
The original study reports only in vitro data. Call me skeptical about the sweeping conclusion in the title.

I have no special expertise in the area, but my understanding is that while it's not generally a crime to serve alcohol to someone who's clearly had too much, it can be grounds for suspending or revoking an establishment's liquor license in many jurisdictions (under e.g. a rule requiring that they "exercise reasonable care" to serve alcohol safely).
I believe people rely on logic without really understanding it because it is easier than accepting it isn’t the final form of thought.

One of the effects of runaway capitalism of that consoles are pressured (either by stock holders or internally) to keep earning, keep growing, keep getting. And for a lot of businesses, they’ve already reached their market equilibrium. They don’t have room for more growth. So they have to start finding other areas to grow and to earn. Even if they have no business being in these areas in the first place.

The promise of data as the next source of easy money is too hard to pass up. And because life is hard enough, a lot of customers are willing to give it up for free to save a few bucks.

That's historic. Gas stations wouldn't be allowed nowadays, and the legal ways to buy something that dangerous would certainly not be anonymous

And what's frustrating is this isn't just down to poor execution, it's fundamental to the design, and it was repeatedly pointed out from the start. I'm glad there's finally been some acknowledgement of issues predicted around a decade ago, but only because the issues have indeed manifested, making it a rather pyrrhic victory

A "simple" solution to a necessary complex problem is just kicking the can down the road, and essentially asking everyone to invent their own incompatible wheels to fill in the missing bits. On X, there's enough flexibility for me to pick a DE and window manager separately, due to the standard modularization, whereas on Wayland, I have to check the compatibility of a screenshot tool with my desktop environment [1], and whether my DE even works with my graphics card! Everything becomes tightly coupled due to the lack of standards

[1] unlike some I actually do support the move to not let any app read the screen or global KB input, but the interface for those that do should have been part of the Wayland project, not just "not our department!"

I think we're all misunderstanding ad relevance. An ad that trick you into buying what you were not intending to is more effective than otherwise. An ad for a MacBook shown to someone dead set on buying one soon, is not effective, and only relevant in end-user perception, not in actuality. Many "irrelevant" ads are probably relevant from that perspective, just we all are not comfortable with the concept of an ad in entirety anyway.
> Such as?

I'm not specifying them, I'm referencing their existence. You can take them not to exist, but in that case good luck explaining the measurable consistency that every human on earth observes. In fact, if you truly believed this, there would be no point in even speaking leaving a comment because then you could not believe in the ability of language to communicate ideas or even in the existence of language itself.

> Epistemology has been studied by some of the greatest thinkers since the ancient greeks ( probably even before ) and not just college freshmen.

Yes but it is somehow seems to always be the college freshman that raise this question for fields that have contributed the most to humanity like mathematics and physics, all the while not feeling the need to question any number of academic fields built on an absolutely pathetic scientific process in comparison. It is simply because of their failure of intuition and understanding of mathematics and physics that they raise these questions - I'm not saying that these questions are not part of a worthwhile conversation in general.

> If you have to intuitively understand them, it isn't very objective is it?

I'm not understanding your argument here. The failure of a human mind to understand something does not mean that this thing is not objective. Nobody on Earth understood why lightning occurs for most of human history. This does not mean that the existence of lightning and the reasons for its occurrence are not objective qualities of nature.

> What in math are objective facts about the nature of reality?

The existence of concepts that map to reality in producing models that yield consistent, effective, and measurable results.

If there were no conscious beings, the Earth would continue its orbit around the sun and this order is what is captured by the human-invented language of mathematics. Saying that "mathematics" isn't objective may be true depending on how you define mathematics, but there is no denying that there are objective relationships which exist beyond human experience. If you deny this, you are left with cogito ergo sum which was my original argument.

Lately Bass (and "Solid Bass") sound perfect because you grew up with them :-) It's like the 303 or 808, deeply imprinted into the GenX psyche. I'm not sure there's anything intrinsic about it other than that they did a pretty good job (trying emulate a bass guitar is my understanding) and then everyone used it.

ebikes typically have hydraulic brakes that require special equipment to service, more complex drive trains with internal hub gears, heightened strength requirements for chains and sprockets, etc.

You mean, a mountain bike only with an electric motor? Because that's what you just described, minus a battery and motor. Hydraulic brakes have been on bikes for years, there's no more "specialist equipment" required than saying that a third-hand tool for caliper brakes is "specialist equipment". IOW, hydraulic brakes are bicycle brakes in a lot of cases these days. Internal gears? I'm approaching retirement, and multi-speed, planetary gear hubs are what I rode when I was a kid; nothing special there. As for the chains and sprockets, well, your local bunch of amateur racers will put out more wattage than the measly 250W + rider output that an electric will put out, and they use the same chains and sprockets that you do. (I'm not counting electric motorcycles with a "bike" label that put out 1000W.)

So, yes, they are "just bikes" with an electric motor. The exception might arguably be the mid-frame motor ones that require the frame to be designed with the idea of mounting the motor, but even that's just an implementation detail: the rest of the bike is the same.
