I can, easily.

Value for who, exactly?

And antitrust intervention is supposed to increase competition.

This is a common misconception. Nothing in the text of the AGPL requires this whatsoever.

But it's a common enough misconception that my personal recommendation tends to be to just steer clear anyway, if you're planning to run a closed-source business. It's better to not get sued at all, than to get sued by someone who's wrong.

But for reference, the only text added to the AGPL in comparison to the GPL is section 13 here:

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.en.html

In other words, if you run an AGPL database and modify it, you need to provide your users with the source of your modified version.

Nothing remotely suggesting that the rest of your entire software stack becomes AGPL licensed. (In fact I often wonder how people are imagining that would even work. It would basically imply that you can't, for example, run AGPL software on a Windows server...)

He's somewhat in the same mental collection for me as the old Corridor Digital videos.
I love single-license-per-project F/OSS companies like Red Hat, but they're rare. I'm attracted to companies who are so committed to F/OSS as a practice that their software is copyleft and they don't require a CLA.

But dual-licensing is a tried-and-true strategy and the basic premise is very clear and very fair: share your downstream changes or pay a fee. And a CLA is required to make that work.

Something commenters here seem to miss is that all permissively licensed software is vulnerable to the same kind of maneuver that copyleft+CLA software is. If MIT or Apache don't scare you, neither should GPL+CLA.
So when you compile a program and distribute over the network as a binary, you are also distributing the compiler that created the binary?

>IRL people don't, there's a reason piracy is big.

It is? That's not my observation. In fact, music piracy seems to be all but dead, thanks to the streaming services. Movie piracy is not, and seems to be increasing (hard to say though), because of people getting frustrated with the fragmentation of streaming; back in Netflix's heyday, it seemed like movie piracy was much smaller, because you could just pay $7/month to Netflix and watch whatever you wanted.

>People want the things they want for the cheapest cost possible

No, most people want convenience. That's why music piracy is basically dead. Piracy is usually a PITA, and it's easy to subscribe to Spotify or Apple Music and listen to everything you want. Piracy is usually a service problem, not an economics problem.

I find it really interesting that this concept took hold so strongly in people's imaginations. I think because it's just on the border of plausibility and seems somehow to be hidden knowledge. It reminds me of Dan Luu's idea of 'Cocktail Party Ideas' [0]

The tarahumara in northern Mexico are famous for running very long distances (men and women have won several ultramarathons, often running with handmade sandals), they are also known for hunting deer by running them to exhaustion (more for fun and tradition than anything else, they have access to rifles)
Probably the top reason I wanted to get GrapheneOS was the privacy/security aspect of it, this includes: no google play services by default, multiple user profiles (more than the Stock OS can have), a network permission for apps (this normally can't be toggled), disabling all usb data connections (can easily be activated in the Settings if I need it), Bootloader can be locked again after flashing the ROM and much more.

It also has very frequent updates, and my phone will get them for a long time (also true for the Stock Android on Pixels, but that one really sucks), which was also very important for me, as I want to be able to use my phone as long as possible.

What made this even more appeling is the possibility to install sandboxed google play in a seperate profile/user for apps that really need it, which works surprisingly well, and even then the google play services don't run with elevated permissions like they normally do, but with the same permissions like other apps.

And the battery life is insane, if I don't use my phone it basically does not loose any battery, and even with heavy usage I don't need to charge it daily.

So GrapheneOS was the easiest way to start degoogling (kind of ironic using Google Hardware) my mobile phone, while still being able to run nearly all of the Apps I need.
Charge money to use it.
I used them for years before I got LASIK. They were fantastic – great vision and very comfortable to wear all day.

I wouldn't wear them for sport though because they're quite expensive and they come out easily (they're very small). There's some slim chance they could damage your eye because the material is hard.

Honestly, your setup sounds pretty much ideal. If you're not into the idea of LASIK or PRK or even ICL then I would stick with what you have – glasses plus lenses for sport. Saves you the trouble of switching contacts and reduces your chance of infection or eye troubles wearing and switching lenses all the time.
My son is starting his first week of high school. I am recommending to him that he pose related questions to his physics teacher:

- "Is it okay to wash a toaster in a dishwasher?"

- "Is it okay to put an electric hair drier in a fish tank when it is plugged in?"

And I am hoping he gets a very productive year of science for the effort.
It's pragmatic if you're making (Android) apps, in which your payments are already tied into it, and you're already at Google's whims.

It's more extreme than that, it stops existing.

The comment you're replying to is about fresh water. Which becomes non-fresh when it mixes into seawater or waste or pollution. No need to leave the Earth.

Admittedly, it's probably better to talk about the cycle, since non-freshwater will be automatically converted back to freshwater via solar energy. But the rate can be slowed—eg, dump a bunch of toxic stuff in one place, it'll drain to a river, now everything from that point and downstream is no longer freshwater. Or pump up enough groundwater. Or inject toxic crap down where the groundwater lives.

We're quite good at reducing the total amount of freshwater available.

Yeah but what constitutes a new contract? I don’t think anything was being renegotiated, he was saying there was new management and more may be expected of employees. You could argue he was just asking people who didn’t like Elon Musk to resign, and having a new boss doesn’t constitute a renegotiation of contract.

Obviously the court decided the dismissal was unfair, but I think it could have gone either way.

A purely F/OSS company could potentially profit way more from your code than you do and still comply with the license. You'd be free to reincorporate their code back into yours, of course. But code isn't money.

Raspberry Pi RP2350A SMPS – Inductor Polarity
The new RP2350 has a common problem that designers decided to solve in a unique way - by working with an inductor manufacturer to produce orientation-controlled wirewound power SMT inductors for this specific purpose.

Analogue design is difficult and while switching power supplies are more often being integrated into microprocessors than in the past, this issue illustrates how hardware engineers need to stay nimble and creative when problems come along. IMO this solution was necessary as the problem was found after manufacturing release.

I love async but very rarely use await. It makes inversion of control patterns super easy and avoids deep logic and instead get something much more readable.

I treat await as a code smell and always triggers me to evaluate if we really need to be waiting for the result in this place. Most of the time they shoukd just return the promise or put something in a then.

People are going to misuse stuff but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t use appropriate tools when appropriate.

EDIT: this is especially true for NodeJS where lots of frameworks are promise/async aware and support you returning a promise to them.

If you have a solution to comprehensive legislative capture at both state and federal levels in your back pocket by all means whip it out. Until one materializes that "hack" as you call it was the most effective method for government agencies to actually do their jobs.
If this "obscures the call order" then isn't that a problem with the programming language in general? If these functions weren't async, would you also not be willing to use g(f()), as that "obscures the call order"? (I certainly have met people who do.) If we aren't going to use function calls, and we also do not want to put these functions on separate lines as that is "bulky", then are we going to argue that we should have something similar to .then() for synchronous code?...

My argument here is that JavaScript is -- as well as most languages we use these days are -- fundamentally designed around the syntax of a function call, and so if you program in such for very long at all you get used to reading "inside out, right-to-left", as that's how function calls work. If we do not like inside out execution order, then we should fix the entire language (by using suffix notation... fwiw, I'd be totally on board ;P), rather than narrowly complain about it only in code which uses async/await and fixing it by abusing the OOP this argument exception to the ordering rule.

(I would also point out that the special syntax order exception you are relying on only works for a single argument, and so if you have to pass task2 both the result of task1 and a second argument to configure it, the usage of .then() breaks down unless we have a way to curry arguments, which we can always simulate using JavaScript's bind(), but at some point we are really going far out of our way to avoid coding using function calls, despite being in a language which relies on them everywhere else.)

At the end of the day, I am just looking for some consistency, so I can quickly and easily interpret what code does no matter whether it is synchronous or asynchronous and whether it takes zero, one, or more inputs.

> There were plenty of people who would have loved to have put their energy and expertise towards a climate change moonshot, but our incredibly powerful corporate interests and the legislators that they own didn't want it to happen, so it didn't.

The problem with "climate change moonshot" is that the answer isn't really a single target or anything suitable to a government spending program. You get the result you want by doing a carbon tax and then refunding fully 100% of the money to the population as a dividend so the tax doesn't trash the economy.

Then people reduce carbon to avoid the tax. Hybrid and electric vehicles become more attractive than gas (especially to people who drive more), diesel rail lines get electrified, coal power plants get shut down as uneconomical and replaced with solar/wind/nuclear/hydro, people replace furnaces with heat pumps, etc. You don't have to order anybody to do anything in particular or figure out how it should be done for them because everybody wants to avoid the tax so they do it themselves.

The reason that doesn't happen is the reason you say -- the oil and coal industries have captured too many legislators. But even if you had the votes, the way to fix it still isn't "NASA for climate change", it's just pricing carbon.
That’s hardly unique. You’re also rejecting democracy, in your earlier post, by saying “25% of voters have such obviously wrong opinions that we are justified in scheming to cut them out of the process until they die.”

Congress is the one that creates these agencies, and Congress chooses to fund or not fund them on a routine basis, and new executives must be approved by Congress and firing is severely restricted. In a healthy democracy, should a legislative body have the prerogative to be general and create new agencies empowered to act on general & vague mandates? Not obvious.

Congress never loses the reigns here. This is the legislative will, as they are created and financially sustained by acts of legislature, and their leadership approval and dismissal process is determined by legislature. These agencies are "executive" in a very limited way. They are moreso extensions of Congressional power with very limited execute oversight.
This is a very clear-cut case of selection bias. People who have a bad experience are much more likely to talk about it.
