> You can fork it and use it in and as free software forever. This is only 'unreasonable' if you're a proprietary software vendor. The complaint of a proprietary software vendor strikes me as somewhat ironic here: what, the same deal that you give to your own customers for your own product is one you simply 'can't' take yourself because it's not 'reasonable'?

I am not discussing ethics or morality here, just practicality, and yes, from the perspective of a user that is not primarily releasing open source. Note that it's somewhat different and more general than your characterization. I might be in another business, not software, but unwilling to touch AGPL within my infrastructure due to risk of virality. Strictly speaking, I am not a "proprietary software vendor" as I am not even in the software business, primarily. Nevertheless, your general point stands.

I am not arguing it is bad. Simply that I would not characterize AGPL+CLA as "no vendor lock-in because open source." I put it right in the bucket of e.g. Oracle proprietary database. I am not saying it is bad or totally unreasonable. I just don't buy up the marketing koolaid.
Yes, the ask is for ironclad societal-benefit laws with teeth. Not lip service laws.

It's a very very cool idea, but I'm still not clear on the main benefits.

Bottomless storage: yes, but couldn't you theoretically achieve this with plenty of cloud DB services? Amazon Aurora goes up to 128 TB, and once your DB gets to that size, it's likely that you can hire some dedicated engineers to handle more complicated setups.

High durability: yes, but couldn't this be achieves with a "normal" DB that has a read replica using object storage, rather than the entire DB using object storage?

Easy replication: arguably not easier than normal replication, depending on which cloud DB you're considering as an alternative.
Regarding this specific case, I personally have no idea. I've had many times where I thought a suit wouldn't hold up in court, only to find that there was a sensible legal precedent for it to hold up (at least in terms of "yeah, this rule exists, so following the rule makes sense"). I've also had the opposite too, so overall I genuinely have no prediction on how the court will rule. Even the article itself kind of shows that the outcome isn't clear, seems like some judges think there is a legal basis for NY's law, others think that ISPs might be able to make a stronger argument.

I'm not even sure if the court will rule at all, since unless I'm mixing up the way things work between different countries, the US Supreme Court gets to pick which cases it considers to be worth taking.

So the journalists are saying that they are the moral judge of what's right and what's wrong and they can decide which information should be suppressed? Coming from China and knowing such much history about how communist countries treated their people, I'm deeply suspicious of these journalists. Just look at China, look at Cambodia, look at Cuba, Look at Romania, and of course look at Germany. When didn't it start with elites advocating for suppressing speeches for the sake of high moral ground?
You're right that electric showerheads provide instant heat. My comparison was based on the electric showerhead I have at home, which can't heat very much due to electrical limitations. It's definitely not the case of every installation. On the other hand, the hot water I experience when showering at the gym or in fancy hotels is extremely, extremely hot and much more comfortable on a cold day. I also see some wealthy people installing gas heaters in their homes, which is why I associated electric showerheads with a lack of options.

In the US merchants are the ones footing that cost, either in merchant fees (which they then pass on to the Customer in the form of higher prices) or directly (by the credit card company refusing to pay the merchant).

It might be different now, but in the late 90s I sold some laptops to a buyer using a stolen credit card. The cardholders had no fraud liability but my company ended-up having to eat the cost of the stolen laptops. The credit card company simply didn't pay the amount of the fraud in their settlement with us.

This reminds me a lot of Pure (https://agraef.github.io/pure-lang/). What I liked about Pure is the symbolic rewrite + the Haskell-esque syntax with out the strictness + easy ffi.

I really do like how you have smoothly integrated this into Python. Though the symbolic pattern matching is well pretty amazing and make me think about things a little different now. You could probably implement something like this in Julia with it's macros and flexibility in manipulating the AST. I hate Python, but I'm forced to bow to the ecosystem.
When someone named adamomada comes to the bank for a loan, the presumption is that
adamomada will repay the loan.

If they knew it wasn't you, they wouldn't have written the loan in the first place. They're asking you to repay it because they really do think it was you.

If "it wasn't me" was all anyone had to do to get out of paying a loan, many people would do it.
> may be a headache to prove that it wasn't actually your car, but once you do so, how much of the responsibility should you hold?

This is a good analogy. You shouldn’t hold any responsibility. But you’ll still have a problem that takes a lot of work to resolve. The impetus of resolving that falls to you.
the point of insurance is to make sure if you get into a crash with somebody else and they are at fault, that they even have the means to pay you in the first place. if forced to, people make the decision to drive uninsured because it is nigh impossible to travel around this country otherwise, and then it's worse when they do get into an accident and cannot pay the other driver's costs. you can't squeeze blood from a stone.

this is also partially the reasoning behind ACA requiring health insurance; hospitals were struggling because they could not collect from people with no money that were winding up in the ER.
Visual Studio Code is available for Linux and MacOS. As is Rider.
This was in fact one of my big learning experiences in mechanical work. As a kid, my bike was running rough so i took it apart, cleaned oout all that yucky/dirty grease from the bearings using WD-40, and then reassembled it all only to find it was even worse than before. Only a few years later did I learn that wd-40 is a terrible lubricant for bike ball bearings.

You can see a similar effect with standard skate bearings used in fidget spinners - most bearings come pre-greased with a fairly high viscosity lubricant. If you spin the spinner, it will slow down quite fast, but if you take the bearing apart, clean out all the grease, and reassemble it, it will run wicked fast and long. Until some dirt gets in, at which point, grease would have worked better.

*I suspect that if tool manufacturers were expected to provide years of free upgrades to end users of their tools in order to support an ever changing security landscape and close any issues caused by the combination of their tools with 3rd party services, that tool manufacturers would be interested in getting a continual cut of revenue generated by those interactions.

Rust doesn't have pass-by-reference in the sense that C# or C++ do. The `&` and `&mut` types are called references[1], but what is meant by "reference" is the C++ guarantee that a reference always points to a valid value. This C++ code uses references without explicit pointer deferencing:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

void s_ref_modify(std::string& s)
{
s = std::string("Best");
return;
}

int main()
{
std::string str = "Test";
s_ref_modify(str);
std::cout << str << '\n';
}

The equivalent Rust requires passing a mutable pointer to the callee, where it is explicitly dereferenced:

fn s_ref_modify(s: &mut String) {
*s = String::from("Best");
}

fn main() {
let mut str = String::from("Test");
s_ref_modify(&mut str);
println!("{}", str);
}

Swift has `inout` parameters, which superficially look similar to pass-by-reference, except that the semantics are actually copy-in copy-out[2]:

> In-out parameters are passed as follows:

> 1. When the function is called, the value of the argument is copied.

> 2. In the body of the function, the copy is modified.

> 3. When the function returns, the copy’s value is assigned to the original argument.

> This behavior is known as _copy-in copy-out_ or _call by value result_. For example, when a computed property or a property with observers is passed as an in-out parameter, its getter is called as part of the function call and its setter is called as part of the function return.

> Those bits of information are worthless when you need to create a cryptographic signature with your ID card to do almost anything important.

That depends on the type of attack you're protecting against. It might prevent an attacker from filing your taxes for you, but many companies are still going to use this kind of information as primary key. But it's not going to stop an attacker from pretending to be a bank employee, calling a genuine bank employee via a secret internal-only number, and claiming they've got Mr. Doe in their branch trying to do a critical transaction but their phone broke so they can't use the bank app. Yeah, the Mr. Doe living at 987 Main Street, that one. See, you even verified their ID, and it has a SSN of 123456 printed on it - just compare that to our customer database to make sure it's legit!

It also opens up a whole new type of attack. The problem with those smart cards is that there isn't really a way for the user to know what operation is actually happening. You're using a regular PC or smartphone to interface between the smart card and whatever entity you're trying to communicate with. But that could just as well be a phishing website pretending to be that entity, or malware doing a MitM. Or even just a random website pretending to need a signature for "age verification" when it's actually applying for a loan behind the scenes.

There's no "Do you really want to sign over your house to XYZ?" message on the card itself. And suddenly the government/bank/whatever is getting a request with a cryptographic signature which can obviously only be made by you - why would they have to double-check it if it cannot possible be fraudulent?

I agree that we should be moving to more secure systems, but those ID smart cards aren't a one-size-fits-all solution.

Passkeys Are Not Passwords
Mr. C is a counter-example to all of what you just said. Mr. C is an otherwise successful and intelligent person embittered by society doing him wrong. In literature Mr. C would probably be the anti-hero of an acclaimed revenge movie. He should be secure but he isn't because humiliation is a wound that doesnt heal.

I think the statement "secure people..." is a really broad generalization that misses the point being made here. It does not take much to make someone insecure. There are thousands of examples: food, money, romance, work, housing, etc. Every person effected by one or more of these is a Mr. C. They simply just need the right catalyst to fully realize it.

One may wonder if society in general wasn't so cruel to certain people would Mr. C even exist. To quote the article:

> He is the product of a democracy hypocritically preaching social equality and practicing a carelessly brutal snobbery. He is a sensitive, gifted man who has been humiliated into nihilism. He would laugh to see heads roll.

"Broken" is a sliding scale, and it's unfeasible to refuse engaging at all times.

If you are a multi-billion dollar company creating a new integration, you can demand that your small supplier provide an RFC-4180 compliant file, and even refuse to process it if its schema or encoding is not conformant.

If you are the small supplier of a multi-billion dollar company, you will absolutely process whatever it is that they send you. If it changes, you will even adapt your processes around it.

oh, yeah, i don't think an electric showerhead in my house would work very well at all; some dumbfuck wired it with 15-gauge wire (1.4mm diameter, safe for up to about 10 amps) and at 240 volts you need more like 40 amps to provide a comfortable shower, depending on water flow rate

the entire house is on a single anemic 25-amp circuit breaker. at a low-flow 6 liters per minute (100g/s) heating from 15° to 40° (Δ temp = 25 kelvin) at 4.2 joules/°/gram, you need 10.5 kilowatts, which is 44 amps at 240 volts. at 120 volts just forget about it

i have had a super cheap non-tankless electric shower in a couple of places i've lived in argentina, which sucked. you would fill it up with water, plug it in to start heating the water, unplug it half an hour later to stop heating the water (hopefully before it overheated), and then open the valve at the bottom to run the shower. dangerous, inconvenient, and uncomfortable

on the other hand, if you're building an apartment building in brazil or a hotel in costa rica, there's nothing stopping you from including an 80-amp circuit in every bathroom for the electric shower. it's definitely cheaper than a hot-water tank or a tankless heater, and it might be safer too, since it might allow you to avoid running gas to the room
