> However, if you were altering LXD in any way, then you will need to familiarize yourself with the AGPLv3 license as unlike Apache2, it does require any changes be made available under the AGPLv3 even if you don’t expose your users to your modified binaries.

This is a fascinating argument...

You're saying that you cannot add compatibly licensed code into APLv3 software (that you don't also have a more permissive license to modify/own the copyright to) without violating the AGPLv3.

I think it also follows that you can't legally modify AGPLv3 software containing bits of compatibly licensed code unless you also have more permissive rights to it or your fully strip out the compatibly licensed code?

I have to say, I'm reading the AGPLv3 and it seems like a reasonable conclusion, at least if you also distribute ("convey") it. In particular the clause that says "You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy [...]" would seem to imply this.
there's not quite a plane on the market with the range and the lower capacity.

You are confusing reported and estimated casualties. The reported civilian deaths in the nine-month Battle of Mosul were around 10k. A later estimate put the total number of civilian deaths to ~40k.

The numbers from Gaza are reported deaths, and nobody is seriously disputing them anymore. They are pretty consistent with the claims Israel is making. About two thirds of them should be civilians. That means a bit over 10k dead civilians after 2 months. True civilian casualties are likely higher, but the situation on the ground makes reliable estimates impossible.
>Treaties and UN involvement

UN has assisted Hamas in the past, there is no reason to believe it would be any different this time. The history didn't start on October 7th, what has happened on October 7th is the violence went over the threshold in which Israel would believe intent of international community and instead is handling it themselves despite the uproar.
There are two sides - ordinary people on both sides, who mostly just want it all to stop, and the leaders on both sides, who want it to continue. (As do arms dealers.)

The ordinary people have far more in common with each other than they do with the leaders who are keeping this war running.

Interestingly, the 8080 and 6800 were also designed more for embedded applications than for general-purpose computing. As late as 1981, Intel was focused on the various products that microprocessors could be designed into, such as clothes dryers and sprinkler systems. It's hard to imagine from the modern perspective, but the selection of the 8088 for the IBM PC was just another application. Intel viewed the iAPX 432 as their processor for real computing. Take a look at the cover of Intel's 1981 annual report which lists some of the 10,000 products that used microprocessors, putting personal computers down on the list between cameras and solar energy system control: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/doc/report/history-1981-an...

> What didn’t stop Hamas on Oct 7th was Israel not paying attention to their own intelligence and the tips of neighboring countries, as well as an insanely slow response time.

Wait, you can't possibly be blaming October 7th partially on Israel's insanely slow response time, can you? What is that sentence even supposed to mean?
I guess you already thought carefully about all this, but wouldn't you actually prevent them from reusing your code (in a closed version) if it were released under (A)GPL?

Because if you keep releasing your code under Apache 2, you prevent yourself from taking their code while allowing them to take yours. You could lose at this game.

If you released under AGPL, you would reverse the direction. They would not take your code without the CLA but you'd be fine with taking theirs.

I know, you mentioned companies disliking AGPL.
You know what? I went searching just now for examples that I thought could support my argument. But I honestly couldn't find any that really seemed unambiguous or like they couldn't be interpreted in another way. And the ones I had in mind didn't seem like they clearly were arguing for one side of things when I looked at them a second time. So yeah...going to have to walk that particular claim back it seems. But I still don't think we really should be discussing the topic on HN. Seems too fraught to really get any value out of it.
I don't know what to tell you except fighting against something that is wrong but widespread and established cannot be comfortable.

There's nothing really new here. It was not comfortable to be a e.g. civil rights activist in the US during segregation, or a dissident in the eastern block. The question is, what is right and what is wrong. You either accept wrong out of comfort as many people did in the past or reject it.
> proxmox is presently not an alternative to the VMWare stack. Not even close.

Obviously that depends on how you are using the vmware stack. I’ve seen it being used in multiple previous employers in ways that most certainly could have been replaced by something simpler. I realize that’s because they’re not using the stack to its full potential, but that’s exactly my point. For a lot of people vmware is just “what you run vms on” because they were early in the game.
Could have been that they found someone internally.
> Gaza is the agressor

Sure, if you completely ignore any previous history and the fact that Israel was created by stealing Palestinians’ land

From the other side, you could say Palestinians have never stopped defending themselves

This is not war, this is a brutal genocidal occupation that started many years ago and that Israel is trying to “complete” now by forcefully displacing all Palestinians

The end goal seems to be to occupy as much of “ancestral Israel” as possible

Yeah my mother has been smoking since Kennedy was president, and she's still going. I do think that even without cancer or emphysema, the quality of her life is poor. My wife plays sports with ladies older than my mom and it's a bummer to see mine unable to do much.
1. You've made the comparison between a (if we're being honest here), in the grand scale of things, rather insignificant military conflict between two parties, and industrial scale genocide. So I find the framing problematic. I would like this war to end just as much as you (probably more since I actually have something to lose here). But I don't see an alternative as long as Hamas is in power.

2. OK, let's agree to disagree.

3. I think a more accurate description would be that hardliners on both sides torpedoed it at various points in time. But sure, occupation.

So your solution for two groups of people who can't seem to stop killing each other is to put them together under one state? Sorry, but I think I'll politely pass :)

(And continue to hope for a peaceful, two state solution)
Tangential, but if you haven't had your house tested for radon, I strongly recommend it. Radon is a radioactive decay product of uranium in rock and soil, naturally accumulates in houses, and is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US after smoking.

I got a RadonEye meter to check the levels in my old place. It was around 4 pCi/l, which is apparently equivalent to smoking a pack a day in terms of relative cancer risk. After adding some ventilation, it dropped to lower than 1. Great.

The next place I moved into had a radon level of 14+ (!!) pCi/l. I couldn't believe the meter reading, so double-checked with another meter, which produced the same result. Got a radon mitigation system installed.

Seriously, check it out, especially if your place sits below grade or you live in a risk area. It could save your life.
Even a study that never took place could specify methods that look great on paper.

You pretty much have to repeat the study yourself to see whether you get the same results.

All studies like this are "believe us when we say that we did this, and observed that".

If you're paid by X, and the result is favorable to X, then I don't believe you as much.
So much easier than faffing about with a phone...

> Treaties and UN involvement could be arranged to help guarantee this.

I don’t think that the UN is trustworthy in this manner. It seems like the UN is like Lord Farquad in Shrek:

“This ceasefire with Hamas may cost thousands of Israeli lives, but that is a risk the UN is willing to take for the sake of peace.”
The hypothetical I'm referring to doesn't require protests.

1. Gaza declares "we're done trying to kill you guys" and means it.
2. A few quite months go by
3. Embargo and restriction start slowly lifting
4. More quiet months, life in Gaza improves
5. Repeat steps 3-4 for a few years.
6. Gaza is free, independent and thriving.

Did the article even read the patent?

The article goes on about an electromagnetic pump. A device never mentioned in the patent.

The patent describes(as best I can tell) an ordinary gas fired absorption refrigerator. of the type found in many RV's. A genius design to be sure. But not one that was suppressed or lost.

It’s not all cancers it’s specific cancers. Cancers aren’t monolithic: each type has different characteristics and risk factors, aka “Cancer is cancers not just a cancer.”

> Drinking about 3.5 drinks a day doubles or even triples your risk of developing cancer of the mouth, pharynx, larynx and esophagus. Drinking about 3.5 drinks a day increases your risk of developing colorectal cancer and breast cancer by 1.5 times. The less alcohol you drink, the lower your cancer risk.

https://cancer.ca/en/cancer-information/reduce-your-risk/lim....

> Nearly 4% of cancers diagnosed worldwide in 2020 can be attributed to alcohol consumption, according to the World Health Organization. In the United States alone, about 75,000 cancer cases and 19,000 cancer deaths are estimated to be linked to alcohol each year.

https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2023....

Most of the research is linked to specific types of cancers and alchohol: oropharynx, larynx, esophagus, liver, colon, rectum and breast cancer. Others, like skin cancers, pancreatic and prostate are in the “probably” category.

> If you think that’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever heard, you can take it up with Sir Ronald Fisher, who actually made this argument with apparent sincerity in a 1957 letter to the British Medical Journal. I mention this in case you didn’t already know what an ass he was.

Not only did Fisher state this, and not only was he an ass, but it is almost embarrassing —it turns out he was partly right. You can read all about it in Pearl’s gem The Book of Why.

In essence Fisher argued that there could be a confound between the neurochemical and behavioral propensity to smoke, and the risk of developing lung cancer.

And strange as it seems to me, the DNA variant in CHRNA5 that is most highly associated with higher risk of nicotine addiction also modulates (independently) lung cancer risk. His principle was kinda-sorta defensible for an avid smoker.

Mendelian randomization of people by their CHRNA5 gene status can indeed demonstrate that Fisher was wrong. The majority causal risk is in fact smoking.

LXD is container technology, right? I've used Docker for years now (in my home lab.) I took a stab at using Podman a couple times but the friction was too high (and my motivation to switch too low.)

How does LXD compare to Docker? Should I be interested in it or just continue with Docker for the handful of containers I'm using (Gitea, Checkmk, MariaDB, Mosquitto.) The license is not interesting to me unless there's a technical advantage. (And for my personal use the license is probably moot anyway.)

We'd be much better off with widespread locally-running generative models, rather than models running on specialized hardware in a Microsoft or Google datacenter accessed by a thin client. Section 230 only protects the output of cloud models - local models don't involve the distribution or publication of potentially-offending material. Removing Section 230 protections in this context, without modifying its applicability in the "discussion forum" context, would lead to better outcomes than leaving it alone.
It's a mistake to use one specific computer science concept (RDBMS) to solve 50 different problems. They mentioned logging and scheduling, two things RDBMS are not designed for and have specific limitations around. From just a general architecture perspective it's literally a single point of failure and limitation for every single aspect of the system. And it's vendor specific, it's not like you can just plug plsql code into any other RDBMS and expect it to work. It's so obviously a bad idea it's hard to comprehend taking it seriously
The IRA was a terrorist group, not the official government of Ireland. During WW2 the Allies did in fact blockade Germany.

The blockade is legitimate and justified. The Palestinians do things like take water pipes sent as aid - which were allowed to be imported - dig them up and turn them into rockets. What do you think they'd do if they were able to import more freely?

Women certainly gained a lot economically from WWII while the men were getting minced at Normandy. Ukrainian women and children were allowed to flee while the men are eviscerated by Wagner and Friends.

Current estimates suggest 2/3 of civilian deaths in Gaza consist of women and children. That leaves 1/3 of deaths being men. But this is disregarded altogether because sexist rhetoric is acceptable when you're a radical feminist UwU.

I can't find exact numbers easily, but a Turkish source said in 2023-November:

> The Palestinian Health Ministry said on Tuesday that the death toll from Israeli’s ongoing intensified onslaught on the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7 has jumped to 10,328 people. Among the killed are 4,237 children and 2,719 women, Gaza-based Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said at a press conference. (https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/palestinian-death-toll-...)

10328 dead. 2719 were women. 4237 were children. Someone's missing-- oh, must be 3372 men.

It turns out men and children also comprise 2/3 of deaths right now. In raw numbers women are actually the least-affected of all demographics in the current conflict, but the narrative is touted that women have it worse. (The NYT corollary: black women always have it worse.)

To claim that women are the biggest losers in every conflict is histrionic bullshit. Men just don't count because we're stupid enough to defend them, while everybody loses in war-- children, most of all.

The parent comment is discussing a different hospital, Al-Ahli on Oct 17th, vs Al-Shifa on Nov 10th which is the article you're linking to from NYT.

Civilians being injured in a hospital is clearly a tragedy. That's why hospitals normally have protected status during a war and targeting them would be a war crime. However, hospitals (and other protected sites like schools) lose their protected status when they're used for military purposes[1]. That doesn't make the situation less tragic for the civilians. But there's a difference between striking a random hospital because you want to kill civilians and killing civilians while striking hostile forces in the same vicinity that may be actively shooting at you.

Based on what I know about Palestinians, they appear to be close to having no agency. They don't control what crosses their border, the Israeli government may well be trying to destroy them and their politics are the plaything of regional and non-regional powers. For example, Israel played a role in incubating Hamas [0, 1].

Now if I were in Gaza my opinion is that what they are doing is stupid. They don't really have a choice but to like it and make the best of their situation with charity, tolerance and love. All the other plays lead to worse results. But there aren't many political bodies with less agency.
