> In May 2022, the MIT License of SIMH version 4 on GitHub was unilaterally modified by a contributor to make it non-free, by adding a clause that revokes the right to use any subsequent revisions of the software containing their contributions if modifications that "influence the behaviour of the disk access activities" are made.

That seems weirdly specific. Looking at the actual LICENCE.txt file:

> Any use of this codebase that changes the code to influence the behavior of the disk access activities provided by sim_disk.c and scp.c is free to do that as long as anyone doing this is explicitly not licensed to any subsequent changes to any part of the codebase in the master branch of the git repository (https://github.com/simh/simh) made by Mark Pizzolato after the LICENSE.txt was added to the master branch of repository. Changes that qualify for this restriction at least include: changing the behavior or default of SET AUTOSIZE/NOAUTOSIZE, or any code in scp.c and sim_disk.c or any simulator components that use the sim_disk routines.

I'm guessing this Mark Pizzolato made some changes to the implementation of "disk access activities" that he deemed were important but which other people found controversial, and he wanted to make sure they stayed?
> If you meet anyone who disagrees with any of that, let me know

Facebook appears to have disagreed with that; they amplified calls for ethnic cleansing and did not respond to concerns about it, so they must have believed that asking them not to was too much. That's the point.
> Google could turn it off literally any day, for any reason.

Google has SLAs and service contracts that they are contractually bound to. They technically can turn off their services any day, but they won't, for the same reason that they won't liquidate all their assets into cash and drop it out of a helicopter - because it'd be extremely financially stupid.

This comment makes no sense because it's discussing something that is extremely unlikely to happen - far, far less likely than a service failure caused by self-hosting.
I've been pretty impressed with the Leaf - I don't have one, but some friends do. Pretty hackable and serviceable on your own. The acceleration and torque on that thing is insane. It's pretty easy to swap out the batteries of an early generation with a newer generation, and even possible to build your own out of a stack of 18650s. If only the integrated frame was as easily serviceable :)

TIL there's a regular heartbeat in the quantum foam; there's a regular monotonic heartbeat in the quantum Rydberg wave packet interference; and that should be useful for distributed applications with and without vector clocks and an initial time synchronization service (WhiteRabbit > PTP > NTP Network Time Protocol)
https://journals.aps.org/prresearch/abstract/10.1103/PhysRev... :

> The [quantum time-keeping application of this research] relies on the unique fingerprint that is created by the time-dependent photoionization of these complex wave packets. These fingerprints determine how much time has passed since the wave packet was formed and provide an assurance that the measured time is correct. Unlike any other clock, this quantum watch does not utilize a counter and is fully quantum mechanical in its nature. The quantum watch has the potential to become an invaluable tool in pump-probe spectroscopy due to its simplicity, assurance of accuracy, and ability to provide an absolute timestamp, i.e., there is no need to find time zero.

"Background

Search advertising is one of the world's greatest business models ever created - maybe Windows is on that same level as Christian and I discussed at dinner & there are certainly illicit businesses (cigarettes or drugs) that could rival these economics, but we are fortunate to have an amazing business

Part of what has been so amazing about that is that we've essentially been able to ignore one of the fundamental laws of economics - businesses need to worry about supply and demand

When talking about revenue, we could mostly ignore the demand side of the equation (users and queries) and only focus on the supply side of advertisers, ad formats, and sales"

I did not mean to imply that all native Hawaiians agree about this, it's a big population so obviously there will be diversity of views. My main point was just that there are native Hawaiians in significant numbers at all - there are some descendants of Taino in Puerto Rico, but very few and it's been centuries since they were independent.

I understand there is some debate about how involved the US government was in overthrowing the Hawaiian government. It seems like everyone agrees that there was a coup with the express purpose of achieving annexation by the US, the majority of Hawaiians did not support annexation, and the US government did it anyway. That happened relatively recently, a lot of people are still mad about it, and it's a legitimate thing to be mad about. The US took over a weaker nation against the will of its people. The most generous view we can take is that a minority of Hawaiians requested annexation and the US agreed, which would still be unjust.

I don't think historical details about how exactly the coup happened are relevant to this discussion, and if they are I'm definitely not qualified to argue about them.

I was wondering what Ferrocene is. It looks like it's an effort to qualify the existing Rust compiler chain under some standards:

> For its first release, Ferrocene is a ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 qualified version of the existing open-source compiler, rustc. We plan to work on standards like DO-178C, ISO 21434, and IEC 62278 in the future.

More details on what it is: https://ferrous-systems.com/blog/qualifying-rust-without-for...

> Ferrocene is a qualified downstream of the main Rust compiler, rustc, which is built and maintained for safety-critical and security use.

> Many vendors fork such compilers - they take a current version of the compiler, change it, qualify it, and then release this version to their customers. This often happens in the name of vendor-locked conveniences.

> Ferrocene is the upstream Rust compiler, rustc, unmodified - thoroughly tested on targets that are not supported by upstream.

The delays aren't a problem because you could do this even if there was minutes of delay due to planes often flying in a straight line. It's true that dead reckoning doesn't work for large distances, but would be mostly correct for ~100km estimations.

I once tried something like that for a few hours, the project got stuck but the idea was to predict when a plane will be on a radius from you, then trigger a notification when it should be around the estimated location (and actual "cone" of visibility in my case), but only if the actual position of the plane then is around the estimated location. This way you shouldn't get repeats. Either way, repeats could be easily filtered out in many ways. Point of project was more of a "plane bingo" because for "my country joining NATO" reasons there was suddenly more interesting warplanes flying around visible to my teleoptics from my flat.

But as of this moment, my reading returns zero condescending comments. Probably everyone here at HN had the same experience.

If you sort by oldest, and click to expand, you suddenly see it. First comment:

To sum up:

* we outsiders from HN are greeted by a pleasant, avuncular top comment followed by enthusiastic discussions by the scientifically curios

* reddit OP was greeted by a terse correction followed by a peanut gallery of asshats (all of which get collapsed and swept under the rug for us outsiders)

This may seem tame, but remember this is only a benign scientific discussion.

>Can someone chime in with how quantum computers effectively at least double the output of traditional "classical" computers?

In general: Quantum computers halve the search space, not speed, so for example quantum computer needs 2^128 operations to bruteforce 2^256 keys [1]

In case of non quantum resistant algorithms (for example RSA or most other popular algorithms today): there are algorithms that offer exponential speedup, where even a slow (in terms of number of operations/second) quantum computer will easily outperform a classical comoputer

> Rewind 15-20 years ago and all the folks who wanted to make a game, their first game, and they want to build an mmo. None of them succeeded. Not 1.

I guess it depends on how you define success, but I would posit FOnline [1][2] as a success story. FOnline is a fan made MMO of Fallout by a single guy, using the assets of the original Fallout 1 & 2 single-player games. Having these assets and also general game mechanics already finished definitely played a huge role in getting it to a playable state in reasonable time. Still, FOnline is a from scratch code base not a mod of the originals. Also it changed plenty of mechanics too, most notably being real-time while the original games were turn-based.

It's still being pushed forward even today after 20 years of development by this one guy but it was playable in late 2000s already. Peak concurrent players that I remember seeing was a few thousand. Definitely not AAA level, but way past simple multiplayer. Would have gone higher due to the hype at the time, but the server started to really struggle at that point. After a few years of being a closed source free game it got converted into a SDK and spawned a dozen new fan games using that engine.

Perhaps even more importantly, it was extremely fun in the early days. PvP gained you experience and all the other player's loot. Later on the PvP was limited due to PvE lobbyists, but perhaps it made the game more fun for PvE lovers.

Here's a random screenshot from my personal archive that shows a bunch of players on the screen at once. [3]

In any case, I view it as a great example of a single person MMO success.

> disingenuous and a bad faith argument.

Whoaaa assumptions!

Picking the airport and downtown are the only places on government property I occasionally park, and I pay per use for those. I rarely park on small roads because I have nothing to do there.

Roads can be private - owned by the person with the adjoining house. I live in a town in which the "roads" are private property with reciprocal easements to all other property owners in the town. It's awesome. There are no problems from people storing their RVs and trailers and junk on the street, because it gets towed for trespass. The town top budget item for our taxes is to hire companies to maintain what appear to be roads. This keeps the town answering to the people, because if they don't maintain the "roads" the people will reduce the taxes to about zero.

I'm serious, on what government property do I park for free?

This isn’t how I understand it. If companies refuse to negotiate they either can accept those excise taxes or they will not be drugs that are covered by Medicare.

They can refuse to negotiate and they can refuse to pay the excise tax. They just can’t do that and maintain access to one of their largest markets, which happens to be the group demanding the negotiation.

That point hasn't been made. That is why I'm putting some time into this comment chain - we've got the journalism thing happening where people did terrible things, and people used Facebook, and then the journalist is painting Facebook as guilty by association without saying much specific that provides a link. And then letting low-empathy readers join the dots without considering what the people involved were likely thinking.

Bad people use Facebook. We don't need evidence to know that. This article is strong evidence that very bad people use Facebook, but it isn't at all clear that Facebook should be considered morally involved based on what has been presented seen so far.

Maybe the killing blow is yet to come. But I'm pretty sure any objective standard that gets Facebook in trouble here will get them in just as much trouble for letting Victoria Newland or US 4 star generals post publicly. There are a lot if brutes in public office.

Furthermore getting involved in matters of war and peace is not a role that Facebook will get praise for, it'll do some really terrible things if it goes down that path. They should be biased towards inaction. Even and especially if they care.

If the US invaded Mexico, because Mexico would join a hypothetical military "defensive" alliance with Russia, does that put the blame on Russia or on the US? We already have the answer to this since something similar happened in the 60s which we call the Cuban Missile Crisis. The US almost invaded Cuba, did a total naval blockade that lasted 2 weeks, until Cuba surrendered and backed out of the alliance with Russia.
