Good versus bad faith.

The person looking for truth will likely go "thanks!" when receiving the clarification or additional info they were searching for.

The person looking to poke holes will move onto the next trumped-up quibble and force someone to knock that down too. Repeat ad infinitum until people get fed up and you can claim victory. (for example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38968969)

A third party library can claim whatever it wants in its license, that doesn't make it enforceable. There needs to be some mechanism that causes the terms of the license to apply to you. If you don't distribute any copyrightable parts of a third party library then you (may?) not be under any obligation to adhere to its license.

The "subcommand" approach is the one popularised by Git. It makes sense for complex tools that incorporate many different actions. Every action is essentially its own CLI tool. That approach isn't suited well to the traditional Unix mindset where a single tool is supposed to do one thing and do it well – "ls" is meant to list files and "tr" is meant to replace characters, and you should be able to pipe them together.
I don't. Where did you get that viewpoint from?

So why do you believe that private corporations should be more powerful than governments and have censorship powers that the government doesn't even have? Twitter, Meta, and Google affect our day to day life and control what we see far more than the government does. Why do you think this is a good situation to be in?
Nuclear energy is a little scary to me because I suspect it makes it more economical to build nuclear weapons.

-Many more people become atomic experts, and they may be hired by weapons programs in the future.

-We will learn how to deal with nuclear materials more efficiently - good for energy, but maybe also good for building weapons.

-With more nuclear material being manufactured for energy, will it be easier to hide weapons manufacturing in the mix?

I'd like to acknowledge that I'm speaking from ignorance here. I don't know much about nuclear technology.

It's fascinating to me how this org (and so many others) are hard at work, day in and day out, basically shovelling garbage into peoples' faces. They produce absolutely nothing of value (other than, arguably, the parasitic relationship which allows Free Content), but so much money flows through them.

I wonder what effect the exclusion of third party cookies will have on the dark patterns that are so prevalent -- but I doubt it will be much. We may have "free" access to so much information online, but we pay a terrible place as the quality of discourse has devolved into antagonistic feces-flinging in most of the big walled gardens, and majority of the open forums. It seems only the domain-specific, niche places still maintain a quality noise-to-signal ratio.

Basically it was to maintain a lie. The illusion that it was the same plane as older models. They needed it in order to pretend there was no change, but that also meant they couldn't teach pilots about this new system interfering with the plane's flight behaviour.
> Boeing letting the pilot override the plane and Airbus ... won't allow

I still think it is basically true (MCAS notwithstanding).

For Boeing:

The design philosophy is: "to inform the pilot that the command being given would put the aircraft outside of its normal operating envelope, but the ability to do so is not precluded."

I thought there was some situation where an airbus plane though it was landing and cut back on the throttle causing a crash. Can't find it now.
Even with 947 branches I don't understand how you wind up with 200k employees.

Assume every single branch is staffed by no fewer than 20 people. That gets you to ~20k employees to run all brick & mortar retail ops.

I'm not talking about matrices as in linear algebra, I'm talking about functions. If you interpret a vector or a matrix as a function of its indices, then

B = α*A + β

means just

B(t) = α*A(t) + β

for all relevant t. This broadcasting is used everywhere in signal and image processing, and it would be extremely unnatural if your language forced you to write some monstrosity that modified the constant β so that it has the same type as A.

It does seem like a really short term business plan: Buy up a bunch of apps, milk them of all their worth, gambling that it will be more than they paid, before the users all leave. Then take the profit and slaughter a new set of apps.

In this case I do wonder how much those apps are actually worth, IAC is apparently happy to take $100M for them, which would indicate that in their current form they aren't going to make $6M each in the short term.

Both companies seem rather strange, they don't appear to have any actual coherent business plan.
Huh? The whole point of the LGPL is to say, "you can use the LGPL'd code in your closed-source product, but the user must be able to replace the LGPL part of your product with their own version". The way to achieve that is to either use some kind of dynamic linking where the user can provide their own .so/.dll/.dylib of the LGPL'd library, or to provide the object files so that the user can statically re-link the application with their own version of the LGPL'd library.

This is different from GPL, since you can't use GPL'd code in your closed-source product at all, not even if you let the user replace the GPL'd portion with their own version.

What purpose of the LGPL is defeated?
Yeah, phase 3 trials are concluded, it's now awaiting FDA review. Likely to be approved by the end of this year.

Nuclear weapons aren't that tough on a nation-scale to produce. It's generally thought that places like Saudi Arabia, Japan, Australia, etc. could make a nuclear weapon in a few months if they really wanted.

I think we're basically on the same page, diverging only on speculative items.

Do note that the fact that CPS prosecuted cases does not mean the CPS didn't throw out dubious cases. We only know the ones they did prosecute, but we don't know how many (if any) they did not prosecute. As I said, this is speculation.

I also speculate that if you send hundreds of fraud cases to the CPS they might be suspicious why the rate of criminal fraud among the post office workers is so high.

I agree there's no evidence that the "private" prosecutions made things worse, but it surely didn't help, and deprived the system of an opportunity (whether it would have been taken or not) to prevent the miscarriages in the first place.

>when the original is available to read

The original is in classic Koine Greek. Every translation since has been an interpretation and rewriting, often picking up the idioms and standards of the day.

>sheer dumbification

While you clearly just got that from one of the top comments and didn't actually listen to the video, can you explain what is "dumb" about that? If you've read meditations -- and note that this interpretation is basically section by section in order -- it's actually an entirely reasonable, understandable interpretation.

And having read the "original", where the original to me was an English translation performed in the 17th century by Meric Casaubon -- littered with 17th century-isms of English -- I found this video a fascinating listen because it made me reinterpret various sections.
Access to the American market.
Interesting. Also, do you think their civil and military depts are isolated ? or do blunders in one can appear in the other ? this would surely cause the US to have cold feet in asking them for more planes.
Outside of Unix land, a Process or a Socket or a Mutex or an Event or a [...] are not considered files. The Windows APIs for example have no concept of "a file" as a generic thing. In Windows, you could say that File, Mutex, Socket, Process, Thread, Event and many others are all "Objects" referenced by "Handles".

It's also notable that the term "file" most likely derives more from the concept of a paper file as the place where one stores information rather than the specific punch card files you mention. The expression "[something is] on file" to mean that "some entity is storing this information" predates computers and is very likely related to use of the term "file" for "something that is stored [by a computer system]".

Regardless, using the word "file" to refer to a process or a TCP connection (in the form of a Berkley socket) is entirely specific to Unix and systems inspired by it, and is seen as a key part of the Unix philosophy (via the expression "everything is a file").

I also have aphantasia, so it's not words on a screen, it's literally me talking to myself in an internal dialogue.

There's currently a big public debate in my country regarding relaxing building restrictions for wind turbines, and all the FUD about noise levels, killing birds etc is very much in use.

Current law is so harsh that you can build a coal powerplant closer to peoples' houses than a wind turbine :)

That's despite the fact we have the worst air pollution in EU and the wind turbines would replace coal powerplants...

TL; DR: you're wrong.

A company I use often, Wizz Air, had/has to regularly ground these planes. It’s always a safe bet to book seats at the front of the plane to be sure that your seat doesn’t magically disappear when you are at the gate (happened last Easter when they sold seats for a 180 seats plane but had to ground it and sent a smaller one last minute). The only silver lining here is that they caught the problems before any plane actually crashed because of them

Isn’t that what they just did? Only instead of picking a random new plane, they forced 100% of the newest plane to be inspected.

I very much doubt it's a feasible strategy to turn off a wind turbine every time a bird comes nearby, that would even further exacerbate the variability of wind energy...

Regarding your appeal to authority: high ranks in today’s scientific system is an incentive to defend the system.
That's a "yes, and" kind of thing. We can't build nuclear fast enough yet. So we need both. I'd argue that wind and solar is much more important at this point since the growth of those is now faster than nuclear has ever been. And fast growth of non-fossil energy sources is priority #1 right now. We can free up some land later with nuclear. Wind and solar isn't going to push any species to extinction, so any damage is reversible.

Though I'm a bit wary of nuclear given there are studies indicating that the heat energy added by thermal power plants contributes surprisingly much to global warming. If we can replace all thermal power plants with renewables that's a nice contribution to reducing global warming. On the order of CO2 emissions from planes if I remember correctly.

I'm sure we could "afford" the heat from thermal power plants if we didn't have so many greenhouse gases. But when we're already so close to the edge of the cliff, every little bit counts.

Partly its to do with the people in the courtroom not knowing enough about IT, so that when the Post Office claimed their massive late 90s XML based hub-and-spoke database with 13,000 spokes was 'robust' it was taken as a given. Whereas anyone in IT could look at the architecture and think "well, there's bound to be all kinds of bugs in there".

I mean, they had expert witnesses and stuff. But I've been reading about this in Private Eye for years, and as an IT person you read it and think 'yes those people are totally being fucked over because the organisation is hiding the bugs that obviously lurk in their enterprisey system' whereas for non-technical people it was less obvious.
There is no benefitsn or upside to this crap
Packing in more people definitely improves the economics of the plane and gets the ticket price down and makes it available to more people. In the US we stopped giving out free meals on flights about 10 years ago, at best you can buy a $20 yucky cardboard lunch box, so the problem of the front pullout never comes up.

I think the most luxurious experience in US domestic travel I had was circa 2013 on a 767 widebody from NYC to LA but there were times circa 1990 when it was common to get on a 737 from Philadelphia or Pittsburgh to Albuquerque that was 1/3 full which feels spacious but that couldn't have been economic.

The industry here is competitive on price but not competitive on quality. New entrants in the industry have focused on price, but I can certainly imagine a start-up airline that builds a fleet of entirely A220 or E2-Jets around a hub in, say, Texas, could serve almost all of North America and advertise a futurist plane you'll like much better.
Not to mention the embarrassment that is the Starliner program. Now SpaceX has almost finished the 6 launches the original contract included and is moving into a second contract. Boeing has yet to do its first launch "active" launch.

Boeing had tried to get the snakes in Congress to cancel SpaceX's contract at the start because Boeing was clearly the reliable option, we see how that's turned out.
This is misleading as not all of those 737s are MAX version of them.
This is awesome. Personally I want a modern translation of Nietzsche’s books since it takes such a commitment to get through their current translations. I’m excited for AI to get to the point where this is trivial.
Many small fees makes up for loss of new coins. This requires the block size to incrementally increase over time, just as BCH has done.
What recent Boeing planes were originally developed for the military and reused as civilian aircraft? It seems like recent designs (eg the 787) are developed entirely from the needs of airlines.
> I don't need permission to have libmysql.so

Er, dude, you do. A Free license doesn't mean there is no license. If you obtain libmysql.so and use it in any way, you have to respect the license or you're in breach of copyright law.

The fact that free (re)distribution is allowed by the license does not mean that the use of it in any way is not restricted.

> this interpretation followed to its logical conclusion makes huge swaths of the free software ecosystem illegal

That might well be. Free licenses are abused every day, as people don't really know what this or that license requires. They even routinely strip copyright statements on MIT/BSD code, which is literally the only thing one is not supposed to do. But just because people get away with speeding over the limit on most days, it doesn't mean that the speed limit is not legally enforceable.
