Which is exactly how it’s supposed to work in the first place, individual states are really the only entities that even have the power to enforce any sort of regulation here anyways. Telecom was always handled by states, the feds only stepped in when it was inter-state.

This was going to happen regardless, T-Mobile basically threw throttling in their face and they had no choice but to pretend it was fine, and they’ll be doing the same with home internet soon enough (followed by CableCos in non-competitive areas).
'Scarcity' is usually the underlying answer to these questions.

Reframing it as a way to reduce the scarcity problem might be helpful?

> The goal of the GPL and viral licensing is to undo copyright as such.

This does not match my understanding. My understanding is that the goal of the GPL is to weaponize the copyright system to enforce copyleft. Many creators and supporters of the GPL do oppose IP laws (at least in their current form) but the goal specifically of the GPL isn't to destroy copyright, it's to weaponize it to accomplish higher purposes.
I'm talking from a perspective of someone working with QA in my day job. And I do have to answer questions about the quality. Like, "did the quality of the product increase in the last release?" or "is our quality higher than the competition?" or "will this drop in quality be acceptable for the majority of our customers?"

And, really, every time I'm called to answer questions like these, I know full well that no matter how much time I spend analyzing the test results, coverage, test strategies, dissecting JIRA etc. my answers will be based on little more than a guess (and no, it's not the subconsciousness, it just means that I'll be probably wrong!)

I wish I could just "let it go" and observe the gestalt of the product and say lgtm! (or not). Just because my subconsciousness told me it's so. :)

No, it's not like Jenga. It doesn't reinforce each other. There's always a possibility to drill down to details, which makes the discussion and comparison easy (or easier), but the more complex the thing I'm trying to assess the quality of, the worse it gets.

Is ZFS better than Ext4?

Is MariaDB good enough, or should we switch to a more "high quality" PostgreSQL? How about Oracle?

Is Python 3.13 objectively better than Python 3.10?

What about Ethernet vs IB?

Answering any of these questions would get experts twisted in a knot of endless arguments precisely because quality is very hard to assess. It has too many faces, too many metrics...
Consider a benevolent cryptographer, who is able to break modern asymmetric cryptography, but refuses to use it for petty personal gain, and is fully aware of the dangers of publishing it (why this cryptographer put it in dead man's switches instead, with recipients randomized over nearly all power blocs, political groups, companies, ...)

The cryptographer never implemented it on daily compute devices.

Perhaps this cryptographer would be willing to risk a low communication round release of private keys corresponding to public keys in ROM or burnt in eFuses etc... but only if the public key dump is sufficiently large and encompassing.

From the perspective of the cryptographer we are all whining wankers, and we should just collect all the public keys as a wishlist.

The cryptographer care naught about "liberating" hour long advertisements for the militaries or intelligence agencies etc. The cryptographer does wish sovereign compute to fellow humans, a primordial requisite for effective democracy.

====

While I understand the average programmer would ascribe an incredibly low probability to the above, the absolute absence of such a comprehensive public key dump is not in proportion to the probability considered.

I'm a CPA-turned-technologist seeking leadership roles where I can combine strategic thinking with hands-on technical expertise. Most recently, I've served as chief of staff to a CTO at a global investment firm, where I've led multiple strategic initiatives while maintaining active involvement in technical development.

I'm the creator of Zettelgarden (https://zettelgarden.com), an open-source knowledge management system built with Go and TypeScript. The platform showcases modern software architecture including sophisticated AI capabilities with RAG and LLMs for semantic search and automated knowledge connection. The project demonstrates my ability to architect complex systems while maintaining a focus on user experience and practical business value.

My unique background bridges technical implementation with business strategy. I excel at leading technical teams, managing stakeholder relationships, and driving organizational change through technology.

Interested in: Technical leadership roles (engineering manager, chief of staff, or similar) as my primary focus, but also open to senior individual contributor positions for the right opportunity. Available for both full-time positions and strategic consulting engagements.

Back in the very early 90s, when I got my first modem I only had the number to one BBS. It was running on outdated hardware and I don't even remember what BBS system it ran. What I will never forget though, is the first file I ever downloaded from another computer. It was a lo-res image of a girl in a bathing suit and I downloaded it using the Qmodem protocol. Zmodem became the faster defacto, but the memory of Qmodem sits deeper. Rest in peace and thanks for introducing me. Kind regards, Stian (Norway)

In my experience, open/closed issues ratio is much more important than star count.

Star count is how interested people are in this project, does not signify much about its quality. I would not star the repo of a tool I use everyday, but would star some obscure project to try it out later.
Im 44 and program 1/2 the time than when I was in my 20s but I take better decisions so I’m twice as effective. Less rewrites. Less taking risks with the hottest framework in town. My apps just work and last long without rotting
Man I wish I could play HL3 before I die. That's it. And maybe try out the new Hammer/Worldcraft, or whatever it is called.
The idea that Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc. have made Net Neutrality irrelevant is ridiculous, and is a result of a directed campaign by ISPs to distract attention from them and onto these other companies.

With NN in place, there’s nothing at the network level that prevents a competitor to them from rising up. Without NN, ISPs can make deals to speed/slow/block traffic to different destinations, which would have a real effect on possible newcomers that challenge the incumbents.
I think the point is that these requirements are not published, and they are not requirements to use stars. Anyone can star, no one knows whether their account is contributing to the star count. Now, presumably you could star a thing and check if the number went up but maybe introduce slight randomness or delay to obfuscate even those details. I remember when reddit removed the total upvote/downvote counts from the ui

> this community to say “copyright infringement isn’t theft” when we’re talking about movies

I wasn't aware there was this community standard. I explicitly disagree with it and I presume many others here would as well. The contradiction exists only in your one sided assertion.

I think the position is more nuanced. Once I've paid for the movie then breaking it's "copyright circumvention measures" so I may copy it or display it for my own purposes and reasons is neither immoral or illegal regardless of what hollywood or the law they paid for says.

I also think that Copyright terms being the life of the author are explicitly in violation of the Constitution, let alone, life plus some arbitrary term. These laws have fallen out of the service of the many and into the hands of the few.

There's a habit to "point out the contradiction" in these forums. I think it's almost always misguided.

There is a lot you can change on guitar. The wood species (including plywood) can get you 50 different models from otherwise the same patterns (there are hundreds of different wood possible, but not all of them will be compatible with your patterns - either not strong enough for the thickness, are known to sound bad and so not tried - Luther books have charts of pros and cons of different woods). You can put several different pickups in it (including none) Then you can put a few different styles of truss rod in, tuners, cover with one of a dozen different finishes - it is easy to get over a thousand possible combinations then select however many.

That is for just one pattern, but there are many different patterns. Then we get into acoustic vs electric.

Of course it isn't hard to create a new alloy for your cymbals either. The real question is how many different models is it worth putting into your catalog. There is a cost to each one - even if it never sells you have to be ready to make it which means keeping anything specific to that around (or at least have suppliers that commits to making whatever you would need on-demand)

It could lead to lower prices if they are indeed replacing referrals. Supposing the retailers notice that this is a huge affiliate, basically understand what's happening, and negotiate a smaller commission for these programs (they obviously have a lot of negotiating power since they aren't really getting referrals and could just ban these programs, destroying them), they might have a lower overall cost.

I imagine people running affiliate programs have heard of rakuten, for example, so I suppose they have some reason they haven't banned it (i.e. it actually benefits them/lowers overall costs).

I don’t know about that hypothetical case, but from what the redditors are saying, it looks like the Honey team are directly including and calling upon the GPL’d code, which I’d say constitutes derived work.

For that specific hypothetical, I’d say it would function as a derived work, but others would be able to answer better.

Well the proof of concept without actually having two colliding files is really simple, so I thought it was generally understood.

Here's the easiest to explain way: Upload the malicious version of the file to github. Send an innocuous patch to the kernel devs that creates a file with the same hash. It gets accepted, and anyone that downloads the kernel from github gets the malicious version. Done. That's a small fraction of linux downloaders, but this is just the proof of concept.

The gpl sets terms, employing the right to set terms.

The fact that those terms are not for money is the implimentation detail.

The fact that there are terms that you are required to agree and adhere to, OR live without the goods, that is not.

Just like the normal terms for money, your choice is you can take it according to the terms, or leave it. Not just take it and ignore the terms.

It's definitely a special level of low to steal something that's already free.
For certain? No, but I wouldn't expect it. Not sure what that function pointer in rdx is intended for, but Linux doesn't use it.

I suppose that would depend entirely on how you measure what optimal is. Optimal randomness is 128 bits from the best random source and 0 bits from anything else, like time. Optimal "just random enough for my use case but no more so I can fit other information in the value" depends entirely on the requirement of your use case (more specifically, not just "for databases" but "for my database to... on the hardware... in which the access is... on the presumed growth..." and so on). For picking a "good enough" value 12 bits is probably as reasonable as one will find generic reason for.
Ye I hate this. I work with a processor that TI manufactures and a huge part of the "eco system" was referring to a now defunct forum and wiki. It is a mess. At some point they just deleted it and replaced it with nothing. Links to download of tools and libs are broken. And support don't have them. I was just lucky I found them on arhive.org ...

To give another perspective, from a company perspective, companies are mostly not really in the business of providing an archive. And if you provide a bunch of outdated information--banners flagging it as such or otherwise--you're mostly not doing most people any favors when they encounter that info when doing a search. Most companies pretty aggressively remove info more than a year old or whatever.

> We all know that society is propped up by people going to work and doing nothing much of value

I don't disagree that there are lots of companies out there doing essentially pointless work and paying high salaries to people who do very little all day. Mostly in the B2B space. But is it accurate to say society itself is propped up by these roles?
The fact that ppl think AI is now the solution to everything just because we have a good auto complete tech developed goes to show how much our industry needs a reset. The other day I read someones comment about how we should spend 7T dollars to get to AGI. If our industry had a little more sense and standard, half of the ppl in tech wouldnt meet the bar for sensibility. We probably would also be a lot further ahead in areas we need to be and id definitely enjoy working more in tech. Less idiocy, more sensibility

Usually 'strings' on the binary shows up tell-tale signs.

Granted that means the 'smart' infringers are likely to slip through the sieve, but at that point they'll have to essentially be re-writing the code anyway, and lose most of the benefit that they'd get stealing the GPL code (they'd have to hand-roll any bug or security fixes back into their stolen-but-obscured GPL code)

Out of curiosity, I'm curious what the other guy's take on "live migrate process state". It's something I'm familiar with from an Erlang perspective, but I'm also aware that it's much discussed and not often used, as getting it right is quite an intricate dance.

To be fair, Firefox out of the box prevents against font fingerprinting more than Chrome, it's considerably easier to get Firefox to run in a docker container and pass all the client side challenges than Chrome in my experience, you still have a valid point though.
sure, but absent infinite energy supplies with which much is possible, it falls under the general rubric of "no free lunch," which often in the physical world may fall under the conservation of energy (e.g., perpetual motion machines like wind turbines on cars) or the laws of thermodynamics.

The layman's "no free lunch" is a pretty good heuristic though.
AFAIK the "fork" option also helps guard against the original project getting deleted or somehow moved.

I think you need to exercise in order to get past a weight loss plateau though.

If you simply cut back on calories by 20% - 30%, your body will adjust to the new norm within a couple months, and you just expend 20% - 30% less energy. You have maintain some baseline activity levels in order to continue burning fat.
