Oversimplified refresher for anyone wanting to know what we're talking about:

Least restrictive

* MIT/2,3,4-clause BSD/Apache (pretty much anything, the terms are clear (except Apache))
* LGPL (usually for libraries that can link to non GPL stuff)
* GPLv2 (if you change the source and ship product, you must reveal the source. can't link with other licenses)
* GPLv3 (closed the Tivo loophole)
* Affero GPL (no services)

Most restrictive

Without a license being specified, it's difficult/impossible to include a project in anything commercial.
Yes, a friend of mine mentionned the google feature. I never noticed it.

But as I say, we need something that everyone can implement right now and that makes mass surveillance cost too expensive to be realistic. Log history and 2 steps login (for example) are something that need heavy architectural changes, while showing the last log can be done at no cost.
Trucking laundry around, having another worker load/wash/unload/iron and then the sorting / tagging / customer service issues associated with that seems pretty inefficient. It just adds overhead without removing any of the original work. It may be that the washing machines can be more efficient at scale but for that to be the dominant factor the process as a whole would have to be super efficient as well and that is very hard if you start by adding a huge amount of overhead over the original problem.

Having the ability to do your own laundry (especially with small kids) is pretty basic.

It is not a failed philosophical endeavor, and there are still philosophers engaged in the field. It had an early period beginning in the 1930s, and another strong period from the '50s-70s. It has been helpful to the understanding and development of probability theory, and continues to be applied and investigated, including in current scientific experimentation.

The rise of quantum computing has created another contemporary dimension to the field.

As it is, it grapples with properly understanding and formulating logic and correct perceptions and descriptions of the world by building on classical logic in light of developments in quantum mechanics. I doubt we'll see it 'fail' and fade into obscurity anytime soon. It's not exactly Cartesian philosophy.
But if you do that you have to configure your server for it, and your server still has to handle the request. The file is 2KB gzipped; Serving the file or a redirection is basically the same thing.

About a minute after loading this website a setup.exe downloaded which my antivirus promptly found and got rid of.

Anyone else experience this?
9K over, what, four years? Yeah. I wouldn't even notice that.
Nope. We can't achieve total security. One may argue it's a good thing : there actually are a few bad guys, out there.

But the cost to apply this to every single website they want to spook on will be prohibitively high to implement massive use.
just did. :)
software is fundamentally broken in some way that it just gets harder and harder to keep a lid on the more effort we make. There is money to be made selling inflatable rafts before a tsunami, but it's pretty depressing work and pretty much everyone is still going to die. The only semi-workable answers are air gapping and drastically reducing the size of your code base, and neither are working that awesome for people or is anyone much willing to do it. Look at google chromeos. One of the lowest attack surface pcs on the market and it was designed from the ground up assuming they'd get owned regularly. Very few other orgs are doing either one.
May be they will go like MongoDB, RethinkDB, OpenERP, SugarCRM as well as WURFL, they all now utilize the AGPLv3 as a vehicle for dual commercial licensing.

2.5 years (well, at 4 loads per week, and given low-end units @ $800 total).

Still. $800 over 2.5 years vs $9K over 2.5 yrs.

Or, to be a tad more accurate, $0.76/load vs $25/load.

That's an interesting meter you have.

I see. It makes sense for short-term-ish projects.

But I had experience of long-term working with the client, where there are no milestones. There is just an unlimited continuous flow of work to be done. So if you charge daily, that most likely implies 8 hours of work per day. Basically, it is more like a regular employment, but with a freedom of working whatever hours you want, including zero.

I was just summing up the worked hours at the end of the month and billed with it.

You don't need to install them; portable washing machines just need to be plugged into a faucet and a wall socket. They take small loads, but it's plenty for a single person.
But to use an Apple TV to play or display anything from your network, you will need to publish it via a "iTunes library".

This will require you to install iTunes. If on Windows, iTunes will completely hijack your machine, steal all file-associations and if you're lucky (like I was) completely molest all ID3-tags when attempting to clean up music-metadata, meaning the only "good" copy left of my music's meta-data was the iTunes library. How convenient is that for Apple, eh?

I had to manually go and tag 10000+ MP3s to make them usuable again outside iTunes. But I did that, because to me, choice matters.

If I need to go through that shit again to get an Apple TV to work.... Yeah. Not happening. Ever.

Fuck that shit. I don't say that often on hacker news, but seriously: Fuck that shit.

99-Year-Old Minimum Wage Custodian ... Why Everyone Hates Economics
Management will never understand the benefit of institutional knowledge because they have not yet devised a way to measure it. Managers love metrics because they cover their asses.

People hired to make decisions don't like to make decisions. But it's not a real decision if the metrics told you to do it. Blame the spreadsheet.

So institutional knowledge gets discarded like yesterday's dirty laundry because no one in a position to do anything recognizes it as valuable. Or even if they do recognize it as valuable it's certainly not more valuable than the cost of some employee compensation. Health insurance costs are quantifiable, institutional knowledge is not. And in the land of cover-your-ass with metrics qualitative values are useless to decision makers.

Ok. Point. Currently (and maybe for the foreseeable future?) there will be some limitations and requirements.

But Chrome can be installed anywhere, for free. You don't have to throw out everything you own and buy new equipment, like Apple requires you to.

If it's a $0 vs $1000 question, I know which one will win.

The Great Filter - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Filter.

Note some "fun" consequences of this argument:

-- quote --

With no evidence of intelligent life other than ourselves, it appears that the process of starting with a star and ending with "advanced explosive lasting life" must be unlikely. This implies that at least one step in this process must be improbable. Hanson's list, while incomplete, describes the following nine steps in an "evolutionary path" that results in the colonization of the observable universe:

1. The right star system (including organics and potentially habitable planets)
2. Reproductive molecules (e.g., RNA)
3. Simple (prokaryotic) single-cell life
4. Complex (archaeatic and eukaryotic) single-cell life
5. Sexual reproduction
6. Multi-cell life
7. Tool-using animals with big brains
8. Where we are now
9. Colonization explosion.

According to the Great Filter hypothesis at least one of these steps - if the list were complete - must be improbable. If it's not an early step (i.e. in our past), then the implication is that the improbable step lies in our future and our prospects of reaching step 9 (interstellar colonization) are still bleak. If the past steps are likely, then many civilizations would have developed to the current level of the human race. However, none appear to have made it to step 9, or the Milky Way would be full of colonies. So perhaps step 9 is the unlikely one, and the only thing that appears likely to keep us from step 9 is some sort of catastrophe or the resource exhaustion leading to impossibility to make the step due to consumption of the available resources (like for example highly constrained energy resources). So by this argument, finding multicellular life on Mars (provided it evolved independently) would be bad news, since it would imply steps 2–6 are easy, and hence only 1, 7, 8 or 9 (or some unknown step) could be the big problem.

-- quote ends --

(emphasis mine)

In other words, finding life on Mars would suggest that the Great Filter event may be ahead of us, so we're probably screwed.
If you communicate information to a third party, it is vulnerable to disclosure. End of story. Either encrypt it or don't, and if you don't, then you don't complain if you find it being used against you in the future.
That is a way better, IMO.
Here's a few more that I find fascinating:

H) They do give a shit, but they are busy hiding. Consider this: If there's only one civilisation out there sufficiently advanced to be able to accelerate large, heavy objects towards others at sufficient speed, and who has decided that clobbering everyone else is their best bet at long term survival, everyone else better hide unless/until able to throw rocks first. A sufficiently large object constantly accelerated over a distance of light years would be near impossible to protect against.

The solution might very well be that anyone chatty gets hit by a planet.

I) Something natural periodically wipes life out. E.g. consider if gamma-ray bursts occurs frequently enough, and are powerful enough, to cut down everyone that don't reach an extremely high technological level in a very short timespan.

J) We're in a simulation and they're not interested in simulating life on other planets (or the purpose is to simulate a universe with life only on earth).
This was actually surprisingly evenly written - I was expecting one of those "OMG this sucks!!!" rants about how everyone are cruel bozos and so on. He very clearly indicates how, at least from his vantage point, the company itself is suffering due to the policies.

GPLv2 : You may copy, distribute and modify the software but you must relicense any changes and your entire project under GPLv2 and disclose all the source code

GPLv3 : You may copy, distribute and modify the software as long as you track changes/dates of in source files and keep modifications under GPL. You can distribute your application using a GPL library commercially, but you must also provide the source code

AGPL : The AGPL license differs from the other GNU licenses in that it was built for network software. You can distribute modified versions if you keep track of the changes and the date you made them. As per usual with GNU licenses, you must license derivatives under AGPL. It provides the same restrictions and freedoms as the GPLv3 but with an additional clause which makes it so that source code must be distributed along with web publication

The most restrictive for me for commercial use is GPLv2, because you have to open source ALL the project, not only the modified part.
With GPLv3 and AGPL, just the modifications of the source code , not all the project.
It is a question of point of view about "restrictions".
> [...] FSF is clearly the only group that believes this [...]

So, it should be no trouble for you to provide a citation from an legal authority which states otherwise?
Sorry, i hadn't read the actual paper until now. Actually they did use transgenic GM mice, which allow the expression of rhodopsin in activated cells. While the title of the article is not very revealing, it's pretty close to what they did, although by no means did they "use lasers to implant a memory", they used a lot of other stuff too.

The standard pattern is never use external dependencies directly, but to keep copies and host them on your CDN.

That way, you can run them through the ol' asset pipeline too... minifiers and possibly serve them straight from gzips.

it's kneejerk-ish IT admins who are pulling these things right now. who don't understand what having anything connected to the internet really means. any un-encrypted email plus their attachments? that pricelist you just sent your colleague? public. chatting with partners over g2m or skype? public.

so i checked the code and all js,css files where used from a git repo from some other guy. who moved all files away in other directories.

was easy to fix, but i have no idea how stupid his coder is to use github urls from other people repos!!

> The thing about the scale of the universe is that the odds are always cosmically against "That just hasn't happened yet" being the right answer.

But there are many other constraints: It may have happened many times, but they may not currently be at a level where we'd be able to communicate. We have only been emitting radio for about hundred years, and only tried to detect others for a few decades. Maybe we evolve to a point where we lose interest in being known and stop "leaking" radio signals all over the place within the next hundred.

Then we're not just talking about whether or not it "has happened yet", but our interest in finding others - perhaps that'll only be a hundred year timespan - must intersect with the couple of centuries that such civilizations broadcasts hit earth, and they'd need to be in the regions of sky we've tried to detect signals from.

Suddenly there can be vast number of current or past civilisations out there that'd we'd never notice.
> Why haven't they called?

Maybe for the same reason we're not "calling" that much anymore? For the last several decades we've been investing tons of money and engineer-hours to make radio waves stop going up, as we mostly need them on the ground, and we don't have cable or cellular subscribers in space.

I Just did my laundry in a Singaporean Laundromat last weekend (Thompson Plaza) - One thing that sets them aside, is that in addition for "Self Service" - where you pay $15 to use a (small) washing machine and then a Dryer, you can also have your laundry done for you at $2 - $4 per item. They will basically put your laundry in the Washing Machine, then Dryer (at too hot a heat, I noticed - never Dry your laundry with the highest setting), and then fold it and put it in a bag for you.

You need to drop it off, and you need to pick it up.

My bag of laundry that I did for $15 ($5 washing Machine, $10 Dryer, on medium - so 1 Hr, would have been $10 if I had used it on High) - would have cost me $60 if they had washed it for me - And I had to both Drop it off, and come pick it up.

There was a very large queue of laundry waiting to be completed.

Prim should immediately look at expanding into Singapore - there is clearly a market for this service - and I have every expectation that something more convenient than having to drive your laundry over to a laundromat would be a big hit - at least with the people who drop their laundry off at Thompson Plaza.
I mean couldn't they just request direct access to the database without going through the pain of cracking your password? They can probably run the sql query on their own and get whatever they need.

Disclaimers are one of those legal magic incantations, which origin and purpose is lost on almost everyone except historians.

To put it all into perspective, the origin is as old as 1854, and was from a legal case around a delayed mill shaft. That leading English contract law case was many years later written into the Uniform Commercial Code. It specifies the need for disclaimer, and specifies that any disclaimers must be "conspicuous", which in turn is defined as: A term of clause is conspicuous when it is so written that a reasonable person against whom it is to operate ought to have noticed it. [...] Whether a term or clause is “conspicuous” or not is for decision by the court. The document gives as an example that a printed heading in capitals is conspicuous, though any text that is larger or in a contrasting type or color will work.

So what it boils down to is this: If you sell something and thus perform a commercial transactions, you can become liable, except if the contract between the customer and seller conspicuously says otherwise.

A software license is not a contract, and most people don't sell the software if they put it under a permissive license. I'm not a lawyer, but the liability of giving away software should be minimal, if any at all.
They specifically ask people not to do that.
TIL in the US people don't have washing machines.
Self replicating space probes that could exponentially explore the entire galaxy (or universe) is one of the things that might indicate a sparsely populated universe, or at least one where any other forms of life is quite young.

Assuming it is possible to make such probes for a relatively young civilisation, and most civilisations that reach that stage does send out even just one probe that starts relicating, if life is abundant around us we should expect to have swarms of them everywhere.

Of course it could be we just can't detect them yet, or that life is abundant but that life old enough to be advanced enough to do this is rare for some reason.
It depends on what cost has been used
Unless you left high school within the last few years, no we didn't. We might have assumed, but the evidence is quite new.
do they restrict their offer to certain countries? my ID card is all in Japanese so I'm not sure how they'd verify that as they could most likely not even read it.
I read and I disagree with you.

> And still somehow believe they were intended as experiments and not intended for pain.

How about: they were intended as experiment, but Jews were treated as disposable experimental material, just like we treat rats today? Because hey, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to test crazy theories on real humans without regard to consequences. And maybe help the soldiers win the war!
It took 3 billion years from then beginning of life to the appearance of first animals (with the inventions of eukaryotes and then multicellular life as important milestones along the way).

Then it took ca. 500 million years to Homo, and 5 million years for our species to develop technology.

So I'd say the road from microbial life to cavemen was 1000x larger barrier, then the road from cavemen to technology. Also the barrier from microbial life to first animals (let's assume some kind of worms) was 10x larger than the barrier from worms to technology.

In summary, getting early microbial life to get organized into some kind of macroscopic animals, this is the hard part. When that is done, vertebrates, dinosaurs, hominids and internet will follow at 5–10x faster pace.

I would strenuously avoid per project billing (ie fixed cost) unless the projects are actually small features of a larger project.

Estimation is usually so bad that you will never a curate ly estimate your cost base so will always resent the last month of the project.
That sounds to me similar to the sentence: "Either wear a bulletproof vest or don't, and if you don't then you have waived your right to get upset if you get shot in the chest in the future." You always have the right to be upset if a third party accesses your data. Getting upset about unjust things is exactly how changes happen that make the world a better place. I understand that it's important to take safeguards but not everyone has the technical expertise or interest to protect their data. Many people don't even realize that the problem exists.
The security risk is precisely why a lot of new services provide embeddable content via iframes now, rather than JS. On the other hand, this still isn't perfect - we wrote about it today, actually: https://www.tinfoilsecurity.com/blog/protect-your-website-fr...
