I would say that the "permissive" licenses are the ones that ignore incentive structures and expect people to contribute back because of feelies (if you think that works, I encourage you to go boot a copy of PureDarwin). GPL on the other hand is a brilliant hack of copyright law that has extremely successfully aligned business incentive structures to the point that Microsoft is a Linux contributor.

I really think you are selling Stallman's pragmatism short. While he very laudably tries to live by his own principles as uncompromisingly as possible, it's clear that he sees social systems as things to be engineered, with moral pressure being but one tool of many. Certainly his grasp of such systems is not perfect. But I think he's done astoundingly well for a reclusive, autistic nerd with no social skills.
I bought a Hyundai Ioniq 5. Hyundai never indicated that they’d sell the data, either. But guess what?

Here’s one thing neither Tesla nor Hyundai have ever said: that they won’t sell the data. (EDIT: I stand corrected on Tesla, as per reply comment. “ We do not sell your personal information to anyone for any purpose, period.”)
This was surprising because here in the US, concrete is expensive to build with. I'm considering a build and by far log homes seem my cheapest option.

NASA lost a good number of probes in the process of getting the expertise to do that.

And likely quite a few test devices in building out the skycrane.

I wasn't keeping up with his personal life, so it makes more sense now considering his illness. I still find it crazy how he remained a smoker for basically all his life even after it was proven to be awful for your health.
Are those people also making posts like "I'd rather get shot by Mao than use Instagram Threads/Reels" right now?
I dunno man I've had a lot of people accuse me of being blinded by emotion on this but I am the only person who gave sources in this conversation. I've done a lot of reading, including of pro-Israel sources. The facts of the matter hold up. Israel is in the wrong. Again, the other side obviously did bad things but Israel is the one trying to create an ethnostate and then is acting surprised by the adverse consequences of that. Israel also is the only side with the power to stop this.

Anyway, I'll go back to being overly emotional by citing sources while the other side cites zero sources but is 'reasonable' because of their aesthetic of conservatism.

Edit: Also in terms of why do I think other people think differently, there are a lot of reasons. One is the genuine trauma of the holocaust. I totally understand why Jewish people felt like they could no longer conscience living anywhere other than a Jewish state after hundreds of years of pogroms leading to the holocaust. I also understand why they see anyone who is against them as antisemetic. There's lots of overlap between antisemitism and antizionism even if they are definitely not equivalent. I also understand that many people are scared of the instability in the region that be caused by the loss of a friendly westernised state and the possible formation of yet another total disaster of an Arab government. I also understand that it is not the choice of people who are grandchildren of settlers to have been born there and it is naive of me to dismiss the trauma of living in such a war torn place even from the more privileged side. None of these things makes it right to ethnically cleanse a people. That's the bottom line. And until we get Israel to admit that, we can't move forward, because the Palestinians cannot be gaslit out of their day to day experience of brutal military occupation and racist apartheid. They cannot be gaslit out of believing in the corpses around them.

Of course I don't believe we just dispose of Israelis for the sins of their forefathers. I believe they either need to give up a lot of land or they need to concede to having a multi ethnic state. Maybe the first one and then a plan towards the second so that neither side feels contained. This is easier said than done but it is what has to be done. Just like how South Africans had to forgive each other and the Irish and the English had to forgive each other, just on a more extreme scale. It's obviously a crazy thing to have to do, but you know what's worse? Continuing with a system that necessitates genocide.

I find it quite insulting that you see someone having the pro-Palestinian view and you think "oh yeah you're probably all for genociding the Israeli's to get your way"

You’re comparing apples to oranges.

A Santa Ana wind is extremely dry and this one hit 100kmh (not 50). And it hasn’t really rained for 8 months (since May 2024). And we had a very wet winter last year, so there’s extra growth to fuel any fire. And finally, there’s 10 million people live in LA County, it’s a target rich space.

Please let me know where else is having the same sort of fire without destroying homes.
Sure, and that's why I don't think they'd invest heavily in anti-piracy measures. It requires a special skillset, your average developer isn't going to really know much about it. If I had to guess, there's a single "isProTier" function call that you just patch to return true. Maybe it's inlined and it's slightly more annoying. I doubt they did much more than that, but maybe I'm completely wrong.
Nvidia probably wouldn't fly from an anticompetitive standpoint.
this is a big deal here on hacker news, but for it to be a viable business opportunity, especially at the kind of price point it would require - i.e. hundreds of dollars - you'd need the general public to care, and in my experience they don't.
At least you offer a pricing calculator.

When we are doing vendor research, we often dequeue or deprioritize vendors that do not have any kind of pricing available for the tier we require. Generally speaking, we assume things like volume discounts are available. Also, it's good to get a rough idea of what the delta between "Pro" and "Enterprise" happens to be. Not infrequently the reason that delta isn't available is because it's stupid orders of magnitude different.

If we know that up front, we know not to waste our time tire kicking with a demo account.

So, the middle ground you describes would seem, to me, to be the right place to be. Giving your pricing page a cursory glance, I would rank it pretty highly for the kind of "initial investigation" we might do.

I think from an entrepreneur standpoint, if I see a space with vendors with non-transparent pricing, I often think "there's an opportunity there".
Very cool product!!
People don't fully understand what is at risk of being lost here. Science, history, and technology tutorials, practical life skills like cooking, budgeting, mental health, chronic illness, trauma recovery, creative expression, small businesses, home repair, friend groups, communities, and many people who make their living on TikTok. Losing TikTok means losing a massive ecosystem and all of its connections, knowledge, and content. It's like a library of books vanishing, or a large city disappearing off of a map.
Literally so easy to find out that it’s remote operated with the operators taking over on average once per mile. That can’t scale in a cost effective way unless you only use it like once a week. People who need to drive everyday can’t afford it. Otherwise they’d just be ubering everywhere now instead of owning a car.
I believe Biden says his admin won't enforce the ban, as they only have 1 day left in office after it goes into effect.

Trump has signaled he doesn't support the ban, and wants tiktok under american ownership. The legislation allows the president to put a 90 day hold on the ban too.

So my guess is that this isn't over yet.
What founding principle is the SCOTUS saying doesn't matter with this ruling?
What level of proof do you demand to show something happens sometimes? Because you keep changing it to strawman like 'common.' And to be clear, unless it is zero, you've not applied same to your misanthropic claim.
lol. My first MAB implementation also used HyperLogLog for tracking unique conversions. We over engineer alike it seems.
Maybe someone smarter than me can explain - how both Biden and Trump can hint or announce they wont enforce the law. Signed laws upheld by the Supreme Court can be filtered out by the President? News to me.
> What is the point of these "rules and regulations" and "the nation's highest court" when the president could decide just not to enforce them?

Good question actually.
I don't think any big business sees protection of its users as a solution to anything.

The president is in charge of executing the law. It’s in our system of checks and balances. I’m choosing to speak at an extremely general level, of course, but that is the answer to your question.
Consumer telecom is simple because providers have chosen to simplify the pricing strategy, not because they don't have other billing metrics available. You aren't required to have a complicated pricing structure even for incredibly complicated services. Doing so is a deliberate product choice with consequences.

They're also not truly fungible, though that's mostly for the higher end of the consumer market. Think about TMobile's "uncarrier" marketing, or Verizon's network coverage marketing.

It depends on the evaluation needed. Maybe they wanted to verify that SonarQube would be able to handle their code structure, but they also had requirements that it has to work locally only and they couldn’t send proprietary code to a SaaS. You can’t evaluate that using SonarCloud, but a couple days with an evaluation license are exactly what you need.

I had a similar buying experience recently, where a SaaS had a cloud option and a local option, which varied slightly. The cloud option kind of told us what we needed to know, but a trial license of the local option let us actually verify that it would work with our use case.

The US occupies a new office downtown. China wants eyes on a specific room, and the choice spot for monitoring it is someone else's apartment. This person happens to own a bakery also in town, and it sort of seems like the apartment is a reach for them as it is.

Now in your feed you get a short showing some egregious findings in the food from this bakery. More like this crop up from the mystical algorithmic abyss. You won't go there anymore. Their reviews tank and business falls. Mind you those posts were organic, tiktok just stifled good reviews and put the bad ones on blast.

6 months later the apartment is on the market, and not a single person in town "has ever seen CCP propaganda on tiktok".

This is the overwhelmingly main reason why Tiktok is getting banned.

If you’re willing to do a little bit of work you can often remove the cellular radio from some modern cars to remove the data collection connectivity, not sure if it’d still be buffered on the device still but it’s a step in the correct direction. I’ve read about this in some modern BMWs so it might be worth a bit of googling if you have a particular modern car you are interested in. Or if no one else has done it with a particular model you could also blaze your own path here.
This is always the risk of building your castle on someone else's land (or cloud).
The companies are leaving because of mandated price caps from the government. In every other market when cost > price and they can't control cost, companies increase price.

You can only ignore the reality of government interference in the insurance market for so long.

It's been a problem w/ Hollywood movies since "home theater" came out. That is, a really boomy soundtrack adds to the emotional impact when you are in a closed room but in an open space where people come in and out (where there average TV is) it's totally inappropriate.

Systems like Atmos that decompose the sound track into components might help but they're likely to get used for the wrong reason -- in the last 10 years Hollywood gave up on making the vocals in movies legible, which has the positive effect that a lot of people are used to reading subtitles, which is why you can find subtitled anime [1], Italian crime dramas [2] and such in downmarket places like Tubi these days.

Renters of what? Items people can just take and leave with, yeah I think it's OK they keep track of the thing while I'm renting it.

A home though? I guess it makes sense that they can sometimes inspect it, but I expect privacy in my own home even if I'm renting.

So yeah, depends. Is there some fallacy in my views or something I'm missing?

Security Champion Program Success Guide
There's always some price at which an insurer would willingly insure. The only case where it is "impossible" is when there's a government price cap. The other issue that you implicitly refer to, though, is that the price of insurance can be altered annually, while the mortgage term is much longer. This mismatch creates "what happens when their collateral becomes [so expensive to insure that the homeowner would never have agreed to this mortgage deal on these terms upfront]?"

It’s still super cheap. I think the better nit to pick is that it’s almost a freebie after NVIDIA’s (hardware) and the rest of the world (software) billions of dollars of R&D and CapEx have gone into the full training stack. So, this is more like a blessing of the commons.

It's really quite funny to read the timeline in the opinion.

Essentially, Trump started the TikTok ban, Biden continued it, and Congress finally put it into law. And now both Trump and Biden, as well as Congress, are shying away from actually enforcing the ban.

• In August 2020, President Trump issued an Executive
Order finding that “the spread in the United States of mobile applications developed and owned by companies in
[China] continues to threaten the national security, foreign
policy, and economy of the United States.”

• President Trump determined
that TikTok raised particular concerns, noting that the
platform “automatically captures vast swaths of information from its users” and is susceptible to being used to
further the interests of the Chinese Government.

• Just days after issuing his initial Executive Order, President Trump ordered ByteDance Ltd. to divest all interests
and rights in any property “used to enable or support
ByteDance’s operation of the TikTok application in the
United States,” along with “any data obtained or derived
from” U. S. TikTok users.

• Throughout 2021 and 2022, ByteDance Ltd. negotiated
with Executive Branch officials to develop a national security agreement that would resolve those concerns. Executive Branch officials ultimately determined, however, that
ByteDance Ltd.’s proposed agreement did not adequately
“mitigate the risks posed to U. S. national security interests.” 2 App. 686. Negotiations stalled, and the parties
never finalized an agreement.

• Against this backdrop, Congress enacted the Protecting
Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications
Act.
What in the tinfoil hat of god…
I agree. I'm not sure if I think all of this is good or not. Even if you, a gov't, didn't have an interest in managing your citizens vis-a-vis some platform, it doesn't mean other govt's don't have that interest, so maybe there's some validity to it in that case. But all of that raises even more questions, like "so what?" and "to what end?"
That's not what the EULAs that you have (probably, and if not, good on you) signed indicate...

It’s regulated, not illegal.

“Experts say the insurance landscape in California is particularly tricky because, in addition to the wildfire risk, the state has a law that adds extra approval measures, including board approval and review by the insurance commissioner, if an insurance company wants to raise the rate of insurance by more than 7%. That’s been in effect since the 1980s.”

It isn't a "ban" except that TikTok would rather shut down than sell, forgoing billions of dollars in the process.
While this is true, the translation is quite poor and not all parts of the app are translated.
I drive in a very populous urban area, and the Google Maps/Auto speed limit data is often inaccurate.
The irony of Americans flocking to a CCP-approved app whose Chinese name is translated to "little red book" is just a bit too on-the-nose. For those who don't know, Little Red Book is also the literature spread during the Cultural Revolution in China that was a collection of quotes and sayings by Chairman Mao.

There's gotta be a joke in there about the communists selling the capitalists the rope the capitalists eventually hang themselves with. But, I digress.
