> If you release software under MIT or BSD licenses, you allow middlemen to strip this right to users of your software.

No you don't. You're being extremely disingenuous with this phrasing. No matter how many other parties take the source code and make a closed source product out of it, the users of your software will always have the same rights you granted them to begin with. No freedom has been lost.

And before you say "but your users won't have the same rights to the derivative works", that isn't a loss of freedom. They never had those rights to begin with, therefore they cannot lose them. Not gaining something is not the same as losing it.
US Supreme Court ruling discusses shaken baby syndrome unreliability [pdf]
On page 3:

"The scientific community’s reevaluation of expert evidence is not limited to these types of forensic analysis. For example, there is now significant doubt in the medical community over the validity of “Shaken Baby Syndrome,” or SBS, an expert diagnosis that formed the basis for convicting caregivers of murder when babies died suddenly under their care. See, e.g., Cavazos v. Smith, 565 U. S. 1, 13 (2011) (Ginsburg, J., dissenting) (collecting studies questioning the validity of SBS in one such case). The National Registry of Exonerations includes over 30 cases where people convicted of murder, manslaughter, or child abuse based partially on evidence of SBS were later exonerated. See https://www.law.umich.edu/ special/exoneration/Pages/detaillist.aspx."

LightSlinger antennae are FTL within the dielectric, but the EMR is not FTL; from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37342016 :

> "Smaller, more versatile antenna could be a communications game-changer" (2022) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37337628 :

> LightSlingers use volume-distributed polarization currents, animated within a dielectric to faster-than-light [FTL] speeds, to emit electromagnetic waves. (By contrast, traditional antennas employ surface currents of subluminally moving massive particles on localized metallic elements such as dipoles.) Owing to the superluminal motion of the radiation source, LightSlingers are capable of “slinging” tightly focused wave packets with high precision toward a location of choice. This gives them potential advantages over phased arrays in secure communications such as 4G and 5G local networks

I suppose I'm stretching the definition of SaaS here, but I'm going to say SSH (both client and daemon).

It was originally released as freeware, but after it was widely adopted in the mid 1990s, its creator made it proprietary and created a company called SSH Communications Security to sell it. After a series of security vulnerabilities in that commercial software, OpenBSD developers got fed up and created OpenSSH, and basically everyone migrated to that within a year.

I don't understand how you could not believe this under the majority opinion. The constitution is very clear that supreme command of the armed forces falls to the Commander-in-Chief. The President. It must follow that when the president directs the armed forces he is performing an official action that is exclusively given to him via the constitution. If that is not an official action, then what is? There is nothing in the constitution directing how the president should direct the armed forces. And it follows from that if its an official action then he is immune.

> The entities pushing for MIT style licensing are massive and for profit.

I license all my stuff with permissive licenses because (in my opinion) they are more free than the GPL and such licenses. I don't have any massive for-profit company pushing me to do so. Mr. Kling is also not a massive for-profit company, he's just a guy making the software he wants to make. Your argument is in very bad faith.
Touched on in the article: "There’s endless tips on what successful CEOs do with their mornings, making us feel bad for not executing core loops with machine-like efficiency."

I think what's not said is that some people are just naturally very focused on achievement and moving up the ladder. If you have the drive to be a successful CEO, then adopting the behaviors and routines of a other successful CEOs will probably work for you. If you are not that type of person, then trying to become one by acting like one will just lead to frustration.

I'm not a successful CEO, I have no desire to be one, I don't even want to be a manager of other people. It is not interesting to me. I've done it and can do it but it's not rewarding.

I'm not a "hustler" and have no desire to be one. I don't keep a scorecard of how many checkboxes I ticked each day.

Do what you are drawn to do, and look to other people who are successful at doing those things if you want role models.
Less permissive licenses protect users more.

One answer: Google's interests are at cross-purposes. They are simultaneously making money from showing you advertisements, but also giving you a browser, and sometimes these conflict. For example, they recently rolled out a new on-by-default "feature" to identify yourself to advertisers.

Another answer: concentration of power and market share stifles innovation. Look at what happened to Internet Explorer when Microsoft was the only game in town.

> maybe Trump or other miracle move will save him

Save Putin from what?

By default, from now on Russia just retains the (formerly) Ukrainian lands it controls and integrates them in Russia. There's no deadline to that process, even if Russia stops gaining any land at all while still having to lose some number of people on the front line, basically indefinitely.

I can see that assertion in the Western media that Ukraine has an option to "not agree" to unfavorable terms, such as the ones voiced by Putin. The underlying assumption is that Putin has to disengage eventually, so the Ukraine can just wait it out. But unless some miracle saves the day for Ukraine, Russia is not getting out of these lands at all. After all, Russia is busy paving roads and issuing Russian citizenship in these areas.

The obvious major caveat with MeshAnything is that it only scales up to outputs with about 800 polygons, so even if their claims about the quality of their topology hold up it's not actually good for much as it stands. For reference a modern AAA game character model can easily exceed 100,000 polygons, and models made to be rendered offline can be an order of magnitude bigger still.

Plus, while Firefox is their main product, it's been decades since Mozilla has been solely a browser company. It's like saying Microsoft should stop making Office because it detracts from their OS business. Companies can make more than one product. Some of those products are going to have shorter lifespans or smaller userbases than others and that's OK.

What you are describing is an attribute of command-based economies. The typical market-based feedback mechanisms are often non-existent, or dulled - is it economical, is there demand, etc. In USSR everything was produced by state-owned factories, where political leadership would pass down edicts poorly rooted in economic realities and wouldn’t pose questions such as “do we need to make a monster helicopter if 3 smaller helicopter are cheaper to manufacture and operate”.

In some ways today’s China is also guilty of the same kind of folly, hence high speed rail network that isn’t economical to operate so ideological justifications are needed. Or ghost cities. Etc.

Market capitalism has other downsides, such as externalized costs skewing economic calculations, but it’s a different conversation altogether.

> during code review.

There is the problem - code reviews are done by humans and so it is really easy to read some code and not think "wait this is new code it can't do that anymore". I read a lot of old code as part of my job and it often isn't worth the bother to update working code to new standards.

> it's a lot harder to justify avoiding new features than it is to justify avoiding old features

The problem is the opposite - people keep using old features when the new is better. I realize not everything new is better, but most of them are, yet people keep refusing to learn and use the new thing without good justification.

>You are paying for title insurance mostly to buy the expertise of a local title agent who knows how to look up things locally.

No longer true. Almost all title shops subcontract this out to small software companies that scrape public records and return an "all good" if nothing shows up. This query is usually done by a teenager or early twenty-something in a call center with zero experience, just data entry.

Tax liens are not covered by title insurance.
