i'm not entirely clear on what you're saying

are you saying they're permitted to use your code in a proprietary piece of code but not in an agplv3 piece of code?

if that's not what you're saying, what is the difference between the latter and what they are in fact doing? are they removing your apache2 license headers or something?
> People think the restrictions don't work, but they absolutely do

It's wild to me that people make assertions like this. We can (and should) argue about the effectiveness of smoking restrictions on decreasing cancer and heart disease, but to make the argument that they have no effect is just silliness.

You hear the same arguments from the right whenever gun control, environmental protections or really any sort of government regulation comes up, and from the left (though to a much lesser degree) on the topic of tax rates. We should all be able to agree that any sort of regulation will have a marginal effect, and be able to have a discussion about the level of that effect.

I agree with your argument as stated here ("this is complex because the system of legal rights is complex"). I guess your example seemed to me to be an endorsement of relying on the creators opinion and not the rights-holder in cases where they are not the same, and I was arguing against that (assumed?) endorsement. The fact that the creators are not necessarily the sellers is at the heart of a lot of pro-piracy arguments and I've often seen it used as blanket justification for _any_ piracy, even in cases where the rights-holders and creators are the same entities, so I guess I'm a bit sensitive to it.

Side note: I used to co-run a small electronic record label, and almost all of the artists who we released music by were just ourselves (with a few exceptions made for close friends, who retained all rights to their music). Given our small size and low profile, it was shocking to see how quickly some of our releases were pirated. Sometimes albums would hit soulseek after we had only shipped out the first 30 or so CDs (and no MP3s). We weren't in it for the money... it was just a side-activity while we were still in school, and any money made was just funneled back into the label so we could release more music, so fortunately the piracy didn't affect us much as far as we cared. But it was still incredibly surprising.
That's the Unicode consortium's opinion. Many people believe they're wrong about semantics and that Han unification was a mistake. Regardless of the Unicode consortium's intentions, these compatibility codepoints allow one to write text that displays Traditional Chinese correctly without additional out-of-band information - but there is sadly no equivalent for Japanese.
> as long as security to Israel was guaranteed.

That idea which seems so reasonable can encompass a lot of very unreasonable positions.

Total security is never guaranteed, and many evils have been committed in pursuit of it.
> I've never found out what information was transmitted from the student union to the health insurance company, if the company managed to get access to my health records

The insureco initially would only get your basic demographics (name, gender, age, DOB, phone# & maybe address). The student union doesn't have anything else to give.

In terms of health info, the insureco would only have what you gave them (indirectly via the pharmacy if you presented a prescription for billing to your health plan).

So other than the basic demographics, even if you're forced into the plan, any further info the insureco gets is voluntarily provided by you (but I get that it's a kick in the teeth to pay for insurance, but not use it).

> I ended up opting out in time

were you already with another insurance company provided by someone's employer? Mine keeps changing providers every few years and I can't opt-out other than resign.

I think they were circling a real idea but poorly worded: if you were a kid in the 80s, that stuff was surprising and parodied in many cases even if it ultimately won out. Now when people see the backdrop for some of the movies which came out around then, it doesn’t seem like a parody as much as a pretty linear projection. Gordon Gecko was the villain but you can find a lot of people and especially many politicians who now unironically support his beliefs.

So, yes, those positions existed back then but they weren’t culturally ascendent the way they were by the turn of the century.

Israel's IDF claims 55 commanders and perhaps 5000 Hamas fighters killed, while 17,700 civilians have been killed (over 3:1 ratio). Apparent targeted killings of journalists and aid workers don't help.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_2023_Israel%...
And people seem to ignore Israel's stated goal. They no longer find it possible to live next to Hamas and are fighting a war of unconditional surrender and occupation.

So it is confusing when people claim Israel has far surpassed any proportional response as Israel was never attempting tit-for-tat, but unconditional surrender.
I remember playing this like 15y ago or so as well but at a Pong exhibition in Bern (Switzerland), strangely that is not listed on the Wikipedia page.

The worst thing, at least for me, was was the whip, the heat was very toned down when I played it.
I lived near a town of less than 2000 in the 90s and there were a lot more than 4 people in my age group who played video games. I had four kids in my class who were into computers enough to reinstall Windows, set up networks, and swap ISA/AGP/PCI cards with each other. I lived near a bigger "city" of 30,000 that had swap-meets and 200 person LAN parties, though I think they might have only gotten 50 or 60 participants in the mid-90s.

Might have been different for different age groups though.
I certainly don't excuse Hamas - they are a despicable & evil terrorist organisation - and more evil than the IDF. This is quite obvious and uncontroversial though, so people often don't bother pointing this out.

If you launch a rocket from your kitchen on the 12th floor, I am allowed to defend myself, but not by flattening the entire building and killing a hundred innocent children, when you have probably gone to another building or tunnel.

So you have a file function foo is Apache, bar calls foo. Isn't bar a derivative work of foo? Someone from canonical rewrites foo changing 4 of 7 lines. In this version is foo now canonical's contribution or still the original contributor?

A: Is it accurate to say that there is no metadata regarding who owes what because it would take millions and a trial to decide?

B: Is it accurate to say that this uncertainty is basically as good as owning the whole thing in this case because it is impossible to use it other than either under the terms of the AGPL or some commercial license from Canonical? You are obviously blameless for using the Apache code.

C: Does the inherent confusion mean that if similar features are committed to the mixed proprietary/AGPL branch the inherent complexity of deciding who owns what would make using the open source branch a minefield. EG evilcorp with a substantial budget could simply shut down the open source branch with threats of ruinously expensive lawsuits and false but not obviously false claims of infringement.

D: If A B C does this mean that ANY permissively licensed project which is partially owned by a party which presently contributes substantially to the labor could in effect take an open source project proprietary by first making it the path of least resistance to continue with their fork and later the only choice.
I think we agree that civilian deaths are tragic and should be minimized.

I can't wait until Nvidia finally releases a Tegra based lineup for consumer/prosumer devices.

These days I have a Jetson Agx Orin sitting on my desk. It's mostly for testing CUDA code which will be deployed in the field, but it's a surprisingly capable workstation. Where else do you get 64 GBs of unified memory attached to a somewhat capable GPU?

The Mac Studio, that's where. I believe Nvidia can and will pull of similar feats.

here's my conspiracy theory:

At some point in the last decade, large newspapers saw their local ad monopolies being disrupted by Google search ads so as the lost ad revenue they started running negative headlines on Google left and right for years. Apple also took advantage of this and portrayed themselves as the saviors of privacy. That created a negative perception of Google and a positive one for Apple affecting the society as a whole including HNers and these random sample (jury).

This reminds me of the copy protection on the original Gameboy.

So Nintendo makes the Gameboy, and they only want authorized games to be used in the system. But how can they stop someone from looking at the hardware and making a compatible game without paying a license fee?

Well, they build a check into the hardware for a specific set of assembly code on the cartridge. If your cart doesn't have that exact assembly it won't boot up.

The code?

It displays the Nintendo logo on the screen and plays their jingle.

That way, if you did make an unauthorized cartridge, you'd have to infringe on their trademark in order to make the game playable.
Some great answers on here.

My vote is on they are stuck in their legacy businesses, but we could consider another possibility.

Let's imagine they do have an ensemble model that is essentially a cluster of, just picking random numbers, 10 or 100 interacting GPT-6 level model instances all interacting as one combined "mind" that can think about anything you point it at.

Would such a mind advise Google to reveal it to the world?
Well, I'm sold, and that demo sandbox is cool.
They changed COPYING from Apache2 to APGLv3 without introducing any SPDX headers or similar to denote what is Apache2 and what isn't. So yes, while AGPLv3 is compatible with Apache2, it doesn't grant anyone the right to relicense code.

Anyone is allowed to take my Apache2 code and do what they wish with it so long as it remains Apache2, you can't just go and replace the license text from one license to another and call it good, that code is still Apache2.
Destroying Israel is different from killing Jews. One is replacing a government, which is not necessarily evil. The other is killing people, which is. Advocating violent attacks is the evil thing he does, not advocating replacement of the government.

What bothers me about many of these discussions is that the two are so often conflated. When somebody carries a Nazi Swastika or calls for violence against Jews, that is antisemitic. When somebody opposes Israel, that is not. https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2023-12-12/antisemitis...

My old man is over 70 now, lifelong smoker. One of his first jobs in his mid-teens was breaking up asbestos lining in steel moulds/pipes, and he sometimes tells me of the slew of now-banned chemicals his old man would use around the home, e.g. IIRC, some kind of pest detterent powder he would sprinkle handfuls of in the pantry, which was some variety of DDT. It's crazy to me that he's still going; I still expect a call some day, "well, turns out it's got me".
Absolutely, and I love it. No branded packs, no flavored cigarettes, no menthol, huge horrendous depictions of what you're exposing yourself to, £12 a pack, cannot smoke near public buildings, cannot smoke in public places, etc... This is beautiful. I will never stop saying, please, tax me on this crap, tax me more.

I think it has to be said, correlation is not causation. While I believe that in this case it's almost certainly true, it's still not scientific to claim that it is indeed true until you can prove causation.

When you do the math, it turns out that 100% of people who confuse correlation with causation end up dead. Dangerous stuff.
This and the sibling comment boggle my mind. Around here, it seems like requesting a radon test is standard when looking at buying a house. Installing radon mitigation is likewise relatively straight forward.

Are basements less common out there? Maybe it's just because we tend to have basements that are made into livable space, where the risk of exposure is higher.
So… close the borders. Completely.
You can use an intermediary and (quickly) transition. I'm not concerned about preserving economic value or whatever, just research and expertise. It would be nice to get this done before a crisis that tests the system (again).

You’re right! OP here. We were on 11.9 which is not supported by Blue/green deployments for Aurora. Maybe next time.
Thanks.

The assumptions I am working on:

- 18,000 Palestinians have lost their lives

- Gazan health authority figures are in the realms of reality given numbers reported compared with numbers confirmed in past conflicts (my inclination here is to assume they are possibly under-counting due to many still buried under rubble - though I could be wrong here and these are somehow already added to the tally)

- 50% are women and children (50% as a conservative convenience given that most reporting I have seen is over 60%)

- No women or children are being counted as enemy combatants (definitely not true - I have seen footage of female Hamas militants during hostage handovers - but again I assume for convenience that their numbers are not significant)

My calculation is that if 1/3 of Palestinian deaths have somehow been confirmed as militants/combatants then of a total of 18,000 that leaves 9,000 Palestinian men that have lost their lives. If the 2:1 ratio is correct then the number of combatants that have been killed must be 6,000. This seems unlikely to me because I cannot see why the 'collateral damage' suffered by the male population should be so different from the wider population when under 2% of a population of 2 million people are Hamas militants (by what I recall was the highest estimate of 40,000 given by the IDF at the outset).

In other words if the total ratio is around 2:1, I think it is highly unlikely that the ratio for the male population is around 1:2. What makes male Palestinians so special that they should suffer so much less collateral damage?

> The Iron Dome stopped pretty much all the rockets

The Iron Dome wasn't and isn't capable of stopping thousands of rockets. Also, each Iron Dome interceptor costs around $100k whereas each Hamas rocket costs only a few hundred dollars. It simply doesn't pencil out; Hamas can spend Israel down this way.

But the whole idea that Hamas can shoot rockets at Israeli civilian areas with impunity by the thousands whenever it wants, and all Israel is allowed to do is merely attempt to shoot down some of the rockets, is utterly absurd. It's a fantasy world. In the real world, if you wage war like that, you get struck back, and that's exactly what Israel is doing.

You don't seem to understand what war is, or how and why it is fought. What is currently going on is a WAR between Israel and Hamas, and it's absurd to expect one of the combatants to unilaterally disarm themselves while still under attack. That isn't how war works or how it has ever worked.
> so of course during such a ceasefire Hamas would have to stop the rocket attacks as well

During which Hamas would regroup, recover, and then be impossible to defeat and then would go on to commit another October 7th

What should in fact happen is another humanitarian pause allowing more hostages to be released but relief for civilians in conflict.

Hamas is now demanding all Palestinian prisoners, i.e. those who have committed attrocities in the past to be released which will never happen as it would incentivize further attacks against Israelis

You guys have done a good job with Neon so far and ~200ms is good enough for 95% of webapp use cases (especially if devs do things like optimistically wake up the DB when a user hits the landing page or login page).

I'd be interested to see if you guys can hit 50ms without keeping more chunks of data in at least lukewarm memory. That probably comes at an increased baseline running cost for that database. Maybe customers would be willing to pay a bit extra to enable "turbo" cold starts for the databases that would benefit from it.
