Notes
This repository will be abandoned once Linux or FreeBSD is stabilized with write support. OpenBSD is not the main area of interest.
Lawyers are clear what AGPL means, and they are not confident they can limit the other code that someone would accidentally combine with AGPL if it was used at all so they ban AGPL. While it is possible to monitor and control what code is combined, they are not sure they would do that correctly as a large company with thousands of engineers any one of which might make a mistake.

What companies want is if someone does violate a licesne they can argue it was a rouge employee and so ask the court to just apply a small monetary damage fine as opposed to something large [like opening up all code a AGPL demands]. However in order to argue this in court they need to show the court they made a good faith effort to ensure violations didn't happen in the first place. Those are good enough that most companies won't violate the license in the first place.
They are probably safe from XYZ startup. The real threat comes from XYZ enterprise. Like what Amazon did to Elastic.
What makes Malcolm Gladwell a good writer? Five brief thoughts
That seems needlessly harsh.

But, generally, yes, I tend to know the details of what I'm doing already. If anything I might check some API docs for a library.
can one stream a mix of music sourced elsewhere and bandcamp music? If people have to keep switching apps, I think that's going to limit the appeal to people who are a bit more serious/intentional about every "listen". There's a lot of those, but it's still a minority.
> It's apparent that you work for them somehow.

Because they understand what Bandcamp is charging for?

The page for Bandcamp Pro lists all the feature you get (and everything that isn't listed there, is stuff you don't get): https://bandcamp.com/pro
That's very clever... I think this will save me a lot of time. Thanks so much for sharing!
See my reply to one of the pre-existing comments [0]: it's not Google that is the primary source of these ideas about AGPL, it's the companies who chose AGPL with the intention of choosing a license that is completely and totally viral, even over network calls. Companies like iText [1] want their customers to believe that AGPL means that there's no way to use the free version without open-sourcing your entire software stack.

Whether or not that's true, it's reasonable for Google to warn against using an untested license that has vendors using it who specifically argue that it is completely and totally viral. Interpreting that caution as a psy-op is a bit far fetched.

I read this as "person, 35-ish, stuck in a rut" which is a situation so common that automakers engineer cars like the Mazda Miata specifically for people in it.

Look, I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying I get 4 hours of web browsing out of my M1 air with 83% battery health so it must go deeper, like Firefox is deoptimized or something. It's about on par with my ThinkPad E14, and worse than my 2017 i7 MacBook Air, disappointingly.
Wash trading by definition means nothing changes, the price remains constant as you buy and sell for the same price. Wash trading can not change the price of a stock.

It's use is to increase volume.

From teh SEC who over sees this.

If you aren't happy with their definition you can take it up with them but you don't get to redefine the term for your own use;)

Perhaps something like Kardia? [1]

I have no idea how you go about hosting a research study on it, but Apple Research utilizing people with Apple Watches also seems like the kind of thing you're looking for. [2]

> Your internet is doing more for you, so it's not fair to call it's higher price "inflation."

It's not really doing it for me, is it? The requirement that I pay for modern internet is forced on me against my will.

Employers require that they can see my face when conducting an interview, the government requires that I apply for a visa online and upload 300 mb of documents.

The hospital demands that I register online and work with their system.

If you don't want to be homeless, you must pay for the modern service. And if it is more expensive, then inflation went up, your budget is less today than it was before.
I mean isn't that the whole point of AGPL? That you can't make a webservice with AGPL components without releasing the whole source of your webservice?

I'll file that under “works as intended.”
Why? I've long thought that, as a general principle, willfully false accusations of a crime should carry the same penalty as the crime itself.
> Then you have XYZ startup appears, they takes your open-source code, repackages it and then sells enterprise features, professional services, and support.

That is a feature of the model, not a bug.

Exactly that happened to Git. Good. Happening at last in social media with Mastodon

The point is to have a lot of smaller companies rather than one or two huge companies playing "lock in"
Big Tech throws free stuff people all the time and they usually being the one winning product / lib everybody is using. People just started to expect the same thing from all companies no matter the size and profitability. It's madness.
I love this legalizing and philosophizing. Bottom line is half the employees lost their jobs, and even if there is some sort of anti-union or NLRB-initiated action here, it will be years before there's a fine or lawsuit. By then the business will be unrecognizable.
> If I share the link, it just lets more people edit the same poll

We've overloaded poll editing UI and the voting UI, so re-ordering items in the poll is how they vote. It's semantically gross, but it's ergonomically friendlier.

Everyone can edit the poll to allow for "crowdsourcing."

> How does anyone vote?

Everyone asks this. It's not you, it's me. ;)
As a business owner I consider AGPL the same as a closed source. It's a thing I need to pay for and I'm not about to contribute free labour to it the same way I wouldn't contribute to any other commercial closed source entity.
I don't know if that is really a strong argument, I feel like there are likely a lot of people that just simply couldn't afford to subscribe to all of the content that they get online.

It isn't reasonable to expect that you would pay every website when you go to it.

However if we are really going to make the argument that they didn't want it... well why are they going there? If they didn't want it, they would have never gone to it, they would have never seen the ads, and this entire conversation is moot.

I also don't really buy that websites were run for non-monetary reasons except in the very very early days of the internet. Running a website isn't free, sure you can easily enough stick some static content in S3 and it's dirt cheap to run. But it's still money that you are spending putting something out there. That is before even looking at the time you spent working on it.
Trust is a human problem, not a technical one, and it all comes down to the root. Provenance matters more than all else. You could provide me with detailed schematics of your entire board, and the literal VHDL files for every chip it runs, and I still wouldn't "trust" you if that trust hasn't been earned elsewise. You could be giving me absolutely anything. And sure, I could verify it... but then that's no longer trust.
Before everyone shoots schadenfreude at the Evil Monopoly Man Bigtechs, please remember this is the same government that is trying valiantly to ban/backdoor E2E encryption. It should be implicitly distrusted. A few things they want, per the press release:

- scanning twitter DMs, google chat, gmail, google messages, discord messages, and google meet for "sextortion" with "language analysis"

- automatically watching all video calls for CSEA

- policing the above (through unspecified means) for "grooming"

So before jumping on "muh elon bad" and "muh bigtech needs regulation" think about what exactly they're trying to regulate and how.

I mean in terms of hard scifi, assuming we start colonizing the solar system. I probably prefer The Expanse authors views over Robinson's.
Compared to what? Genuinely asking, because I like Spotify's recommendation system yet I always have the feeling that it can be better... even with the recent enhanced shuffle playlist and efforts to provide more contextual recs.
look at the case law section.
There are plenty of real people, mostly teachers, fired from their jobs because they refuse to certify.
I'm a Bandcamp user, the sale to Epic fucked me over.
Ha, that's a very typical answer my compatriots would give. What Germans lack in competence they make up with arrogance. That just seems to be our thing.
Would this be the same method used to assign a title to your chat based on the first prompt? It's surprisingly effective at getting the core idea most of the time.
> Even if they didn't own communal property, judges should not hear cases where one of the parties is represented by their long term romantic partner. I mean, that is a weird sentence to have to type, but I stand by it.

I was a basketball referee when younger and I had a hard time being able to referee games my girlfriend played in, in what was basically a step above rec league...
That's a positive. You can bash away at whatever you want to do, make all the breaking changes you like without worrying about who gets affected.

MIT/BSD are free as in free tech support.
I do appreciate the tips.

One of the hard challenges is that things move so quick through HN
submissions that one rarely even gets a look, so a little blog post to
"wrap" the content is what I'm trying at the moment.

I don't much like reposting multiple times as that seems spammy. Dang
and I have exchanged some friendly words off-list about how to
acceptably submit content. What we're making on cybershow is, in all
modesty, fairly decent, relevant and hopefully interesting for the
crowd here.

It's just jolly hard to eyes/ears-on with audio (or video) content, so
I hoped a brief summary might help.

Anyway, you might enjoy the video, so if you've time please give it a
shot (the main talk starts 30 mins in) and report back with your
thoughts. Thanks.
And to your point, Google and Meta are indeed extraordinary businesses. That’s why everyone wants/wanted to be Google or Meta.

Even being somewhere in the ballpark of a Google or a Meta is incredible.
Ah, I appreciate that you checked a second browser!
the only way to know would be to do a double-blind test of passages by Gladwell and other authors to see which is rated best
It's hard to say without really knowing your situation, but it sounds like the problem may be somewhere other than with the actual work. Has anything else changed in your life in the past few months? There maybe be something you've been avoiding dealing with. Also pay attention to your diet and exercise. Taking care of yourself will make you feel better. Do yoga. Good luck <3
Outside of Vault, Terraform was their bread and butter. It’s understandable they would be scared of OpenTofu. Certain things that are novel have a tendency to leave the nest. This is one of those cases. They could go the Docker route, provide paid support and extra tooling around it, but decided to wage war against OSS instead.
This is FUD.

I'm going to the first company that sell product under AGPL that i think about and check who their client are.

List here: https://www.nexedi.com/success

If you don't want to click, here are the most known:

- EADS (airbus)

- GKR international group

- Sanef (i know it because i worked for them on a fraud detection project, but they're less known than the others)

- Mitsubishi Motors

I think that's okay for a non-starter.
Thing is, we are in a pretty ruthless society governed by sometimes insane amounts of money - and eventually, anyone will sell out given the right price, and no matter the purchase contract, eventually big-corp culture will seep in. See e.g. Atlassian, Apple, Oracle, Microsoft or Facebook who have been on the buyer side, and Minecraft and MySQL for infamous cases of companies that got bought out.
It has not gone well for Unity

Hopefully not for Terraform
I used to work on a platform like this and loved the challenges. Followed you all on LinkedIn!
They're great, but not magical. 10 year old macbooks never did 10 hours, even when new, much less with degraded battery.
The Alluring City
I like having to install the things I really want, which gives me a chance to consider the security implications of them, instead of having many things pre-installed and I don't know what the total risks are. And nothing else I know of has gone since ~1996 with only 2 of the worst kind of security holes (i.e., remote exploit of something I didn't even need, but was installed by default).

In the base install are many useful things (including a web server IIRC, though the port is not exposed by default), and those are audited and have that excellent track record.

Then when you install extra things, they are usually limited by what user they run as, and usually have pledge/unveil run (limiting access to predetermined/approved syscalls and parts of the file system) so they can't break other things if compromised.
> leave some of your essence behind

Sounds egotistical.

> have an AI that is far more realistic then anything today that someone interacts with daily for any number of things

How is this good?
As I said elsewhere:

Just ignoring the newbie questions is best, unless you want to answer honestly.

On the r/jazz and r/classicalmusic, almost every day there's some question like "I'm just getting into <genre>. What are some top albums/artists I should listen to?"

Someone does answer those questions. Props to those saintly people.
I don't know I'd agree that it's vague - the triggering conditions in BUSL are instance specific so each instance requires evaluation. The HashiCorp provisions are perfectly clear.

What I do wish is that all companies who have this kind of license would also have a clearly priced, clearly defined "pay us X and you can use the OSS bits under this commercial license instead" model, for exactly the reason you describe though.
Is it really a copyright event when a piece of software serves up an API or web UI that it triggers the copyright license? These copyright licenses which can only grant rights are acting more like EULAs and service agreements. Imagine if NGINX claimed they owned the IP(in terms of copyright) of every request your server responded to because their software generated HTTP response.

This is why no business will touch AGPL or any other copyright license that has network clause with a ten foot pole.
Standard? Is there a website somewhere showing what's "standard"? All I can find are giants lists of garbage like:

> I want you to act as a professional paperclip sorter. Your role is to meticulously organize, categorize, and optimize paperclips in a large, cluttered office supply cabinet.

Your expertise in paperclip sorting will be crucial to boost office productivity, even though it's an unusual and seemingly unnecessary task
yes. there are gems to be found. the music writing has helped a lot of artists gain an audience.
I don't know if you understand this, but factories have a maximum capacity they can produce. You can't just snap your fingers and double the capacity of a factory overnight if you realize that it is too small.

Look at how long it took Tesla to build the Shanghai gigafactory: About two years--and literally everyone who knew anything about auto manufacturing said it would be literally impossible to make that timeline when Tesla announced it in the beginning. People made jokes about it. Oh look at that! Elon Musk is lying again! Hurhurhur.

I mean, why do you think the Model S had zero competition for over 7 years? The first 2 years I understand--everyone thought EVs were a dead market. But why did Mercedes, BMW, Audi, et. al. wait the other 5 years (while Tesla was absolutely destroying their market share in the US) to bring out a competitive product?

Was it because they're a bunch of dumb-dumbs?

Or was it maybe because it takes many years to design a complex product like an EV and build a factory to build the car?
> That's the idea anyway. But you can also `kill -SEGV $SOMEPID`.

I can also `int 14` with the right hardware permissions and from software to manually invoke a page fault exception.

That's how `int 3` works as a breakpoint.
I wish we could see more of this in other industries.

Not related, but as a deaf person fluent in ASL-- where do I find people to talk to online these days? Where I live now (NW Europe) _ there is sadly no one to talk to.

only in the US, mon ami.
Ease of use and efficiency for power users aren't necessarily opposites, just like menus don't prevent users from using keyboard shortcuts.
To be fair, some of the bare metal providers reflash firmware when the machine is reprovisioned. In theory firmware "implants" could survive reflashing but I don't know if such a thing has ever been seen in the wild.
Or you if you want things to change you leave the country. Chance of success: 100%

I was paying over 50% of my income in taxes in Germany, now I live in a country where most things actually work better and pay around 10%.

Germany has become an absolut shit show for everyone who is capable and not in the business of scamming via Gov. The chancellor Scholz is literally the guy who helped to steal from gov. via Cum Ex in the biggest scandal of the country. And now the prosecutor to investigate and prosecut cum ex gets defunded. You can't make that shit up.
OpenBSD itself is a very capable and secure, but also very clean operating system. Everything feels as if it's out of "a single mold", much unlike e.g. Linux which is, in a sense, clearly cobbled together from many different pieces.

Changing the system is a breeze, documentation is extremely clear and detailed, and it just "doesn't get in the way".

That doesn't mean it's the OS for you. There are disadvantages with using a less common operating system, and it does require a certain mindset of liking to tinker with a UNIX-like operating system. I don't use it as a desktop OS, but for various servers.
power management is a central core component managed by the kernel
Nice to hear, congratulations, hope all goes great!

May I ask how you go about it? Dual license?
I explicitly said that if you think it isn't the EPA's job, then it should be someone else's job, and not just ignored. How do you think this could be tackled?

Also, if you have read the article, you could see that Ohio and Pennsylvania were low on the list, with <10 days excluded. California and New Mexico have >50, and that smoke ain't coming from Canada, so your point is deceptive...
Don't be too sure about that - things have changed just recently:

Don't people tend to change party when they move from cities to rural, and vice versa? So we could also end the Democratic party as we know it by convincing more people to move out of cities.
GPT-4 Vision Prompt Injection
I'm inclined to agree that iText's position is bogus, but the point is that Google isn't inventing the idea of AGPL's virality out of whole cloth, they're using a definition that major vendors of AGPL software espouse. Interpreting it in the way that the vendors do is not a psy-op, it's just reasonable caution.
Even if you are for depopulation, I think you would still like for the smaller population to be well fed, educated, and socialized. Those people would need to support the older and larger population both economically and in other ways.

The fairness argument is just a general argument against all redistribution of wealth, if you are against all redistribution then many popular programs and policies are already failing your moral test.
Yeah, regulations have costs and economies change over time, not exactly a news flash.

But California is one of the largest and most advanced economies in the world. The same is true of Germany, which has been getting the California treatment recently. And both are currently performing very well given the global context (inflation, energy) and have proven tremendously robust historically, which makes these constant declarations of doom and gloom especially suspicious to me.
>No, inertia is specifically the characteristic of matter to continue in its current state, not the characteristic of not pushing back against another force.

In any case, we're not going for physics here, but for parable. After all inertia is not Dick's word for this, it's the [thread's] parent's.

Dick's point is: ordinary people are often the real heroes, not asking to the recognition as heroes nor through doing conventional heroic acts, but through resisting doing a bad thing they're asked to do, when it would be easier to just comply and follow the flow (where the flow is the society/order/army/historical flow towards some bad path).
> If I was starting a software business today I simply wouldn’t open source on day one. I might lose some of the crowd that only uses OSS but I’d just have to focus on others for a while.

Or you could use GPL3 (for client-side) or AGPL (if it could be hosted). OSS crowd will be still happy and "leechers" are prevented.
No I mean router with wifi.

Consumer gear frequently says 4+ gbps on the box as aggregate wifi speeds...but its all GbE ports at the back. Not entirely a lie but pretty damn close.

The ones with 10GbE connectivity and 6E are all marketed as "gaming" and cost stupid amounts. Plus frankly are just ugly too e.g.

Essentially when you choose AGPL you're choosing non-commercial use.
4,000BC would find the resources, work, and technology available in England at the time of the Norman Conquest or in the Aztec Empire at the time of Columbus quite familiar. Then, beginning in the 18th Century, many people’s standard of living skyrocketed. What brought about this dramatic improvement, and why?”

Not really. I am no historian but the differences were stark enough to allow the Spaniards to easily overtake the Aztecs, but obv. disease contributed to this too. Yes, Electricity and industrialization did not exist, but there was major change.
