> I wouldn't necessarily call it 'foolish'

It was foolish because, by selecting it, Linus was endorsing use of non-free software to work on one of the premier free software projects. It gave Larry McVoy unwarranted control over Linux kernel developers.

As rms said at the time: "The spirit of the Bitkeeper license is the spirit of the whip hand. It is the spirit that says, "You have no right to use Bitkeeper, only temporary privileges that we can revoke. Be grateful that we allow you to use Bitkeeper. Be grateful, and don't do anything we dislike, or we may revoke those privileges." https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=103454948625224&w=2

It caused animosity for years and was resolved by Linus writing git, famously in 10 days. Could he not have taken 10 days off in 2002 and written his preferred DVCS then?

The moral of the story is: don't use proprietary software. It will bite you in the ass.

"Torvalds seems to have fallen for the “free beer” argument: He didn’t have to pay for BitKeeper, so he figured it was good enough. But not having to pay is not, and has never been, the real purpose of free software. The point is to avoid the situation Torvalds eventually found himself in: McVoy didn’t like how his product was being used, so he took his ball and went home. Could you afford to switch gears in the middle of a project if one of your key software vendors did the same?" https://www.infoworld.com/article/2211030/linus-torvalds-bit...

> That's a strange use of 'use'?

To "use" software is to copy it into your computer's memory/CPU to execute it, for which courts have said you need a copyright license. You don't need a copyright license to connect to an open network port and interrogate it (or even capture packets of other people's conversations). US courts have also affirmed that web-scraping is a legal way to collect information because you're just throwing the data out there to anyone who asks; if you want to force people to agree to terms and conditions to see data or "use" web-software, you have to make them login or supply a key that you only issue _after_ they agree to your license or contract.

Andrew Tridgell did not even use anything which would require him to accede to Larry's license. It wrecked Larry's desire that nobody work on a "competing" tool to his, and there was nothing he could do about it, which is why he took his ball and went home.
The highly awaited Linux Mint 22.0 release marks a very exciting chapter for one of the most popular Ubuntu-based distributions. This new version is not meant to be some kind of regular update; it's an LTS version with promises of updates and support all the way to 2029. Both experienced Linux users and newcomers will find a lot in this version worthy of attention to detail in changes and new features. Let's break down what's new and what makes this release stand out.

This works well. Well done. There was a similar product on HN a few weeks ago and it mostly failed on my favourite topics. Undermind returned all the papers I would expect. The ordering of the results could be improved since in the case I tested, it does not reflect well the relative importance of the papers. I think it may give too much weight to direct similarity to the search query, which could sometimes be an advantage.
I read the article waiting for the least hint of proof that Russia was involved and left with empty hands. Except a politician talking and their national security agency saying these are included in an investigation related to Russian terrorism, but still nothing else than talk.

Why would Russia even do such small time damage to countries geographically pretty far? Protip: no "Putin wants to conquer the world so he's planning in advance" conspiracy theory.

Pray tell what other paths do you think there are? Fold and let Europe be enslaved by a certain nuke-equipped Mafia? This is very clearly what we're looking at with this new attack here, and without consistent x10 responses the thugs will keep at it and gnaw more and more. The other paths is send all the diplomats back, neuter the sleepers, repay the attacks in kind.
That seems like a good reason to ban "most car traffic" but not "all car traffic", yes.

Care to substantiate that statement? It seems rather arbitrary to just say that it's garbage when it is running and has been running successfully for the vast majority of its users. It also offers two features that ZFS does not: the ability to grow a pool, and offline duplication.

The article has a clickbait title. It is also wrong.

NOT every company should give stock options to its employees, because
... it only makes sense if long term success of the company can be significant influenced by its employees. Also, those stock options can be a barrier to growth and become a liability if needed adjustments are blocked in order to protect "stockholder"

NOT all employees should get stock options, specially not the ones who contribute very little to the value generated.

NOT all employees want stock options, as people just want to take the actual money and be free to switch companies. The stock options are a way to control employees.

employee stock options are interesting when the allow to vote on the board. THIS is amazing - and almost nobody does it, because it would actually shift power to the employees.

In most companies, giving stock options is almost a scam; you save actual money for salaries, pretend to share revenues (you don´t) and lock-in high value employees. Also you spread your stocks so you are more protected against hostile takeovers.

Stock options are a great way for the actual owners to save money and actually become more powerful.
Here's the thing, it's been shifting for all 10,000 years of civilization.

> Users benefit from cheaper access to customized content. (In other words, arguably it's a net positive thing that they can - for example - ask some GenAI tool to make them a nice picture for their friend's birthday.)

very arguably yeah. we evolve to where we push a button and get a birthday present. the logical conclusion is a system that does not even require to push a button. this is the opposite of the original point (spend time and effort making something to show you care). so to me it is not benefit, it is harm.

maybe you picked a bad example. but the examples of legit benefits of this tech, they don't turn into harms if you really analyze it and go to the root, are hard to find in consumer land.

As a non pole living in Poland I think you are being unfair. The car mentality is not new, nor is it evil by itself. On the contrary it is supported by the reality that inner-cities are unbearably expensive and people need to live in the suburbs just like in the US. It is no irony that the same phenomenae has similar consequences. It is not people who are bad or stupid, on the contrary.

In Wroclaw they added hundreds of KM of bike lanes....crisscrossing normal roads. I would like to take my children by bike to their kindergarten but I dont want me or them to die.

So indeed i take my car, which i regret not being a damn fat SUV because i cannot damn stand being shaken out of my bones anymore. The roads are the German coblestone type and they are not crap because of the potholes. That is already a taken, no. The whole roads have severe long period troughs and hills that together with the pot holes make the experience a nightmare. Sprinkle that with tramlines, activated or not and I am currently considering moving out. The trams and buses work well but politicians and well meaning people often forget you need the car for things like the supermarket? I have a family of several so i cannot just take the tram or by bike for groceries. Oh my, i need a car. The sin, we are all "patola"[1] :).

And this is not just in the city proper, the surroundings' roads are awful as well. I just damaged my rim and tire driving on a normal road 40Km/h while doing this gas guzzling hobby of taking my children to a local forest.

I am a bit upset writing this because all these people in power in Europe dont have traditional families and exist in their own heaven on earth where they are independent in a very pure state. When i was 20 or if I would be a single I would get it, but with a family, please take your silly ideals elsewhere(this is for the mayor Jacek Sutryk who is unironically a bachelor).

Portugal is a bit better in that the left leaning well-doers preach but people are too real to let things get ridiculous. The talking heads sometimes fantasize about bikes everywhere but then the cities are hilly and old so it is unfeasible to add bike lanes.

[1] Patola is a derrogative name from pathological [family]. It is used to insinuate you come from a dysfunctional, often alcoholic family. Very common insult in Poland which I am fascinated about. I wonder if this insult exists in other Slavic countries.

I have no clue what ‘boneless wings’ are, having never seen or heard of them before. But I’m entirely confident about what ‘boneless’ means.

Boneless (adjective): without a bone

Apparently a lot of people feel that if I were to go into a store in the US and order a boneless chicken, I should expect it to have bones in. That doesn’t compute for me.

It's other way round.

Although nuclear sites tend to have access to water many of them in the UK do not have ready access to suitable large harbours (these places by definition tend to be out of the way). In the UK building and maintaining these harbours would be way more expensive than sticking it on the road for a relatively short hop (even in the remote areas) to the nearest local railhead.

It seems fairly clear to me that if the depiction is obviously not real, that's OK - for example if it looks just like [celeb] but they have blue skin or 10 eyes or 6 legs, or it's a cartoon, etc.

But most people producing fake celeb porn are making images that, at first glance, look exactly like [celeb], and only on careful inspection do you see AI-telltales like wrong numbers of fingers. Easy to miss. The law is saying that these realistic images are not OK and the person depicted in them can sue, no matter how many disclaimers you add to the picture. It applies to well-made photoshops created by humans just as much as AI slop.

Think about this like a plug-in hybrid vehicle. Most people drive less than 35 miles per day so by moving that mileage to electric, you eliminate the vast majority of gas usage.

By taking out the first $800 from every other benefit program you will eliminate the vast majority of their usage as well which will shrink them enough that they can be safely reformed if need be.

How often do people reboot their systems? IMO, if it's running (without going into "read-only filesystem" mode) with X disks, it should boot with the same X disks. Otherwise, it might be running fine for a long time, and it arbitrarily not coming back in case of a power failure (when otherwise it would be running fine) is an unnecessary trap.

I don't understand how you ended up and why would you live in Wrocław. I ended up there one winter when the city was notoriously in media for having among the worst air in the country and evacuated after trial period. The ruling "elite" is an awful corrupted clique holding multiple public offices each, police regularly beats random people to death. Exclusively outsourcing and nearshoring jobs with miserable salaries, with established cliques in every workplace. The real estate prices skyrocketed yet thousands of "poor" Ukrainians and people from Causasus somehow can afford living there.

I call bullshit. If you can't explain your vision you're a shitty leader. Good leaders can share their vision and get people to buy into them, adding their visions on top of it.

This is an oversimplification of very complex human interactions. Humans seek the simple explanation, even when there isn't one.

>The overwhelming majority of massive successful projects and companies have a key figure that drove them to success.

s/a key figure/key figures/g

Every project that is big enough has multiple people driving them to success. This idea that the person at the top is the only one driving it is insane. It's individualistic propaganda. No, you did not build your company/product/achievement alone. It's self-serving bias being projected onto someone else.

>I'd wager there are very few examples (if any) of a massive and successful companies that began life as a startup with a 30+ person board, for example.

That's moving the goalpost. Nobody's saying you need 30 people for things to happen. Anything greater than 1 is, by definition, no longer an individual effort.

Take one of the most known examples: Apple. It took both Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak to make it happen. After their initial success, it wouldn't have grown to today's behemoth without the thousands of others that came after and worked on each and every product to make them successful. It's always a group effort. We can simplify and say "Jobs did it" but it's absolutely inaccurate.

I don't understand why smart people need idols. I get why the masses need their figures, but once you think about it for 5 seconds it's obvious they are mostly myths.

You're just observing the long-term effects.

If you're a new business and you're any good and you do effective marketing, in a couple years you're an established business. Then you see their ad and you say "well yeah but they're an established business." Now they are, but at one point they weren't. And at that point they weren't buying as much advertising because they didn't have as much money, but if they hadn't bought any they'd be gone instead of established.

I also kind of suspect that big companies buy a lot of advertising specifically to outbid their smaller competitors on the ad slots, because the ROI is much higher for the company that wouldn't have been the customer's default, so the bigger company isn't buying the slot to build awareness, they're buying it to keep their challenger from doing that. And then most of the ads you see are for big companies.

But not all of them.
