> If they want to own the copyright for my work, how about they pay me?

If you want to merge your code into someone else's repository, thereby benefiting from their continued maintenance efforts, how about you give them the copyright? You don't have to if you don't want to. You can keep your copyright by merging your improvements into your own fork and maintaining it yourself. It is within your power.

Seems like a fair deal to me. Everyone gets a nice AGPLv3 project to hack on. That's freedom and it is assured. If you want someone else to maintain that project for you the least you can do is give them control over it by assigning copyright. It's still AGPLv3 for everyone else, and it gives the maintainers the leverage needed to negotiate deals with corporations.

Companies paying for exceptions to the GPL is something even Stallman promotes.

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling-exceptions.html

This is a good thing and strengthens free software. Being against this is a position so extreme that even Stallman rejects it. And it can't be done if you need the consent of every single contributor.

I even emailed Stallman directly to confirm the ethics of this. He says it's better this way because only the copyright owner can do it. Permissive licenses give everyone that power. Copyleft keeps it contained.

I see what you mean. The original developer can engage
in a practice that blocks coopertation.

By contrast, using some other license, such as the ordinary GPL,
would permitt ANY user of the program to engage in that practice.
In a perverse sense that could seem more fair,
but I think it is also more harmful.

On balance, using the AGPL is better.

That's a fair point. HTTP changes more slowly. Makes sense for sites where you're aiming for longevity.
All the tracking stuff is better for advertisers than going without, and most writers are paid by advertisers. So transitively it would be reasonable to say that tracking is good for writers and bad for readers.
I'm not as sure as you that it would work out that way.

Let's take your TV example. I bought my TV from the local store, or Amazon, or perhaps second hand from some random guy on ebay.

Naturally I connect the TV to my home wifi, use the built-in Netflix app etc.

Assume I'm like your aunt. I barely have the skills to plug it in, much less read the code.

In this scenario is it OK that every previous owner, distributer, retailer, had the ability to add to, or change, the code in the TV? Do you think a highly skilled person, such as yourself, can audit the code to see that nothing nefarious has been added?

Today I have "limited trust". I have to assume Samsung is gleaning at least some data from my TV. But I'm reasonably sure it doesn't have malware on it.

In your hypothetical future, can you be as sure?
Of course, GPL and copyleft is a kind of trick which serves the interests of the one who owns the exclusive copyrights. GPL was a real gold mine in the early days because companies didn't bother to distinguish between copyleft and permissive MIT-style licenses when using open source. It became a kind of trap to allow open source devs to monetize their copyrights by selling licenses to allow companies to keep their derived work private.
The contract explicitly includes IP unrelated to the company's business.
>...However, I think the fact is that the manufacturers who set it up like this don't want to deal with customers, and they establish dealerships that agree to a certain quality of service that the manufacturer wants associated with their name.

No, this was not what the manufacturers wanted. States set up franchise laws to prevent car makers from directly selling their cars and they generally are not viewed as benefiting the producer or consumer:

>...Economists have characterized these regulations as a form of rent-seeking that extracts rents from manufacturers of cars, increases costs for consumers, and limits entry of new car dealerships while raising profits for incumbent car dealers.[2] Research shows that as a result of these laws, retail prices for cars are higher than they otherwise would be.[2] [3]

Right... I do not follow how using a standard creates fragmentation.

They still will. For most things that we use plastics for, they have incredible material properties.

Adding a small cost of disposal to them won't change the equation.

I design and build all sorts of hardware relating to air-breathing (jet) propulsion, including gears. I agree with mkl. Those are not gear teeth. They have flat flanks, and no involute profile. No one makes gears with a gigantic U shaped root. They appear to me to most likely be clearance slots, to go around protruding bolt heads on a mating part. I have designed similar counterbore features myself.

What makes you claim that this part is steel? The article does not say that. Is that a fact, or are you guessing?
Indonesia's Blue-Eyed Kaimbulawa Tribe
Speaking as an Asm programmer for several decades: Calling conventions are stupid. They are the results of mindless stupid-compiler-oriented thinking from a time when compilers produced horrible copy-paste-replace code. The CPU itself couldn't care less which registers you use for what. So many wasted bytes on moving values between registers, just because the calling convention wanted it there, and no other reason. The only need to pay attention to calling conventions is when you're interfacing with compiler-generated code. Modern CPUs are fast, but there's still tons of inefficiency in compiler output.
well, yeah, the actual Very Important People can. Generally those who can probably tell a VP to "go fsck yourself" in more colourful language and expect no real consequences.
Funny how trying to get more people to vote is somehow seen as partisan by you.

You are on the wrong side of democracy. More votes, even votes of people who disagree with you, is always a good thing!
Correct NASA’s first rule isn’t absolute, it says “avoid”, but they do have a hard rule that loop (recursion) bounds must have fixed bounds, which still rules out most non-trivial recursion.

> How so?

Stack + function call recursion is almost always slower and more memory intensive than alternatives, not to mention risk of stack overflow, so most people who care about perf and mem will opt out anyway. Tail recursion isn’t included, because it optimizes out the function call, and tail recursion is iteration anyway.

If tail recursion isn’t an option, it means a tree or multi-branch recursion, which is generally speaking difficult to reason about and difficult to bound, so error prone. People who care about safety, like NASA, avoid recursion for those reasons. I’m sure they will use recursion when it’s the only choice, or the best choice. Choice of data structure might affect whether recursion is best.

> I write all my code in Prolog

Interesting! For what industry? I‘ll admit I’ve never met any production Prolog, but of course the recursion rule doesn’t apply to a language that has no other choice. Wikipedia kinda bluntly suggests that Prolog is best for research and education, and rarely used in production code…?

> Ah yes Italians, famous for being stingy with portions, feeding you the minimum portion possible.

So, this is an often [0] repeated misconception: you have to differ from family style eating, and that of professional cuisine gastronomy. The former is what you are attributing this POV, whereas a professional kitchen that focuses on the tre/quattro piatti format (prix fixe) the whole point is to provide small(er) portions between courses, often in order to get the waiter/sommelier to drop the wine card to match the palette/dish, which is where the real money is made in restaurants.

When I ran kitchens in Italy, we often sold proteins at a loss (at least the first 5-10 orders) in order to promote the local wine/vineyards that we got a massive discount on by buying half the harvest/yield seasons anf sometimes years ahead and could mark-up the bottle--it's your basic loss leader approach, and pre-service is often where these things are tweaked and refined with a very clear intention for FOH to move the booze to make up for the losses in the kitchen. The owner I worked for during this time had a family owned dairy/caseficco business where we got our cheeses where we also got lamb from as well depending on the time of year.

Its fun, to an extent, especially with weekend specials and selling out low-cost high margin dishes every night, but honestly after 3 seasons of this I realized I was just a middle man for back room deals with vineyards/distilleries that happened long before I ever worked there. I realized I preferred to cook seasonal in agrotourism settings as it hit all the goals I wanted to accomplish, and took the spot light more towards the farms/farmer, where I also worked at in the morning while working in kitchens in Europe.

Sidenote: While I had half of Sundays off and free access to a table on the slow hours (along with anything on the menu and maybe a bottle of lambrusco or prosecco on a good week) when I was in Italy, the truth is I would peddle my bike to the nona's house to eat for like 4-5 hours with a nap which had those generous portions you are mentioning.

This is a preposterous premise in Kwon's case considering the US ripped away competing extradition from his home country and place of part time management of fraud, South Korea.
People oversell this tracking/advertising. It's not a goldmine for every site. For this blog, if she wanted to include analytics into her decision about what content to produce, does she really need super high resolution stuff like where people moved their mouse? Would she ever make a significant income from these "ads", or selling the data for possibly pennies?

Besides, just google analytics or something like that wouldn't be that bad (I know the blog author would disagree). A lot of sites go nuts and have like 20 different trackers that probably track the same things. People just tack stuff on, YAGNI be damned, that's a big part of the problem and it's a net drain on both parties.
Ha, thanks that's an excellent, and horrifying, point I had not considered, Thanks! All the same I stand by my point.
After all, doesn’t matter where you are in the world, if you’ve got USD in your hands, you’re subject to US law.

I hope this is meant sarcastically.
You don’t think “the US federal government will come after you if you conduct crime in USD and/or against Americans regardless of where you live/operate your business” is a real deterrent, as compared to “operate abroad and you can victimize Americans at will?”
The best programmers eventually become experts in a problem domain they’ve worked on, because to teach a computer to automate a process well requires thinking like an expert and resolving incoherences. Weak programmers complain stakeholders don’t know what they want or that there’s no spec; I have a hunch these are going to be replaced by AI.
Cab drivers will pass it on to passengers as part of the fare, and those passengers probably tend to be wealthier. Those who can't afford cabs, and many who can, will be more likely to take public transit (which is the point).

If it actually makes more money for better public transit I would consider it a success. And whether or not that happens, it'll reduce traffic in Manhattan which I think most people would also agree is welcome.

> Its even more ridiculous that USA restaurants that pretend to be fancy put "entrees" instead of "main dishes" on their menus.

I smell "epic-ism": you know the French definition proximal to your own lifetime, but not the earlier one that essentially meant hearty meat courses.

Also, there were even "large entrées" from the same period. From Wikipedia[1]:

"Large joints of meat (usually beef or veal) and large whole fowl (turkey and geese) were the grandes or grosses entrées of the meal."

Maybe that definition was just from an influx of "ridiculous Americans" traveling to France during the Enlightenment so they could pretend to be fancy.

Due to those higher costs, buying something from the US pretty much guarantees quality, i.e. the logic of "if someone has a successful business selling saffron in the US, it must be pretty great saffron".

This compares to other countries where you have to do work to figure out if you're getting the good Afghani saffron or the bad Afghani saffron. Personally, I buy mine from Diaspora Co. who source it from Kashmir. In that case, I'm replacing the brand reputation of the country with the brand reputation of the spice merchant.
But you said last comment that "extraditing crypto scammers" was "ineffectual"? Which one is it?
Even if the 18A process is awesome, that doesn't help without the right product(s) to run through the fab.

Have a look at the graveyard of firms that tried being Intel Foundry customers over the past 15 years. Achronix was the perfect early foundry customer for Intel: FPGAs have regular physical structures replicated over the entire die. Yet they abandoned Intel as their early fab partner. Then Intel bought Altera and fucked it up as well.

Intel is on par with Google for killing non-core products. Look at StrongARM, various network processors, ultrawideband, ia64, their cellular modems... Anything that isn't going to directly help sell an x86 server, desktop or laptop CPU can be chopped, or at least not given the support needed to flourish. This was fine for decades, and Intel made a tonne of money doing that because that's what happens with monopolies: they print money. However, that strategy fell apart once the cost of fabs and fab R&D became high enough that more products across different market segments (read as: non-core market segments that Intel middle management doesn't care about) are required to generate a fair return on investment. Just look at how many top tier customers TSMC is able to amortize its fab R&D over today compared to Intel.

Any significant culture change at Intel is going to be nearly impossible given the inertia of 124,000 employees doing what they've always done.
There is a temporal element to your statement. 32-bit support is being removed from the kernel of today. No one uses that hardware for a modern OS anymore.

Except worse because plastics are destroying ecosystems and recycling makes people feel better about it despite most recyclable statements being effectively false. Most people have no idea what cold fusion is, and they know even less about why it would be good.
No because you don’t need to be searched (or even identified) before being reasonably suspected of a crime if an ALPR detects you.

The issue with DUI stops is you have to be stopped before they can test you and the test itself is a “search.”

An ALPR detects your crime before it even takes a photo.

At $100/g 3.5kg is $350,000 which is pretty decent cash for a crop that was planted in September and harvested in November. And unlike marijuana you probably don't need to have armed guards.

Cybersecurity firm Tenable's CEO Amit Yoran dies after battle with cancer
It is wholly appropriate for a government act to protect it's citizens' rights including their property rights. Fraud and theft violate those rights.

Your arguments are essentially shifting blame from the fraudster to the victim... not unlike the kind of arguments that suggest certain rapes or murders are also the victim's fault for either dressing suggestively or travelling through the wrong part of town at the wrong time. While those things may actually be unwise, that the victim didn't act with wisdom or prescience doesn't relieve the perpetrator of culpability nor make the victim deserving of such violation. Wisdom merely dictates that it might be better for you to avoid the risk of becoming a victim if you can.

I personally don't engage in these kinds of financial instruments because I feel the risks are pretty high.... but I absolutely applaud the government pursuing a fraudster where ever they can... without regard to the wisdom, or foolishness, of the victim.
It's annoying that every time "they" come up with a new antipattern, "we" have to add yet another extension to the list of mandatory things for each browser. And it also promotes browser monopoly because extensions get ported slowly to non-mainstream browsers.

It would be better to have a single extension like uBlock origin to handle the browser compatibility, and then release the countermeasures through that. In fact, ublock already has "Annoyances" lists for things like cookie banners, but I don't think it includes the dick bar unfortunately.

Incidentally, these bars are always on sites where the navbar takes 10% vertical space, cookie banner (full width of course) takes another 30% at the bottom, their text is overspaced and oversized, the left/right margins are huge so the text is like 50% of the width... Don't these people ever look at their own site? With many of these, I'm so confused how anyone could look at it and say it's good to go.

Agreed, cool and certainly some improvement but Freestyle is good enough already. Next step for me is more towards the new insulin research which activates only on glucose in the bloodstream (don’t recall how it was called but was here more recently also shared). This sounded more self controlling where it’s hopefully just making sure you have enough of it in your body and don’t need to take care of the rest.

Until then, Freestyle with Omnipod Dash in a close loop with iAPS was a game changer for me: Almost no peaks anymore, HBA1c on the level of a non diabetic person…

Nevertheless, good luck in productising it and I’ll be certainly trying it once it’s available…
