Since diabetics, obese people, and those with related coronary disease often try to reduce weight, the association would seem to be cause and effect of those disorders causing the use of non-nutritive sweeteners. High insulin levels at the onset of Type 2 diabetes are also associated with causing increased hunger and weight gain, _before_ the weight increase of many victims of Type 2 diabetes.
I'm not discounting all effects described in the study you mention, merely trying to point out that "association" does not mean cause and effect, As an example, I think we've all seen people with poor diets eat rich desserts and "make up for it" by drinking diet soda instead of regular soda, or order a fast food "large" meal with a diet soda. The cause and effect of obesity or type 2 diabetes and non-nutritive additives may be reversed.
It's a recyclable launch vehicle, easily upgraded to handle manned payloads. No spacecraft have every been recyclable: the Spache Shuttles required so much overhaul between flights that each launch was of a genuinely distinct spacecraft. I think we can call that a revolution in spacecraft.

That kind of question is what generations of lawyers and court precedents, and the details of international treaties, spend their professional lives to resolve. It's also why treaties matter, including It's why the Berne Convention concerning copyright was important to publishers and software developers around the world. It's why treaties about pollution, about natural resources, and the Convention Against Torture are important around the world. It is also why extradition for trials in other nations are legally important.
At least I have. I'm remembering various times, long ago for me, when bugs or limitations in gcc caused difficulty for me applying kernel patches. I sympathize with expanding the reporting to make the critical information visible.
There is nothing in it saying it cannot be withdrawn for any reason the original author sees fit. In practical terms, it would be extraordinarily difficult to force someone using a licensed copy to _remove_ their extant copy from previously distributed or currently running copies of software distributed under the license. But it seems quite reasonable that an author could withdraw the license for future software including licensed GPL components, or including a GPL licensed package.
> There is no question that Hans Reiser wrote good code,
After repeated attempts, I found reiserfs to be unstable and unusable for any system with data my employer cared about.The irony of his murder of his wife and attempt to conceal the evidence was not lost on me. After numerous experiences with reiserfs destroying data and the fsck for reiserfs trying to clean up the evidence so badly, the irony was profound. Ghoulish, but profound.
Did you find other projects that he contributed to or worked on effectively? I acknowledge that this was long enough ago that I do not remember seeing such contributions. I also suspect that you'd be _much_ more likely to remember than I am.
An individual can revoke the copyright license. This is why the Free Software Foundation regularly urges contributors to its projects to sign over copyrights to the Free Software Foundation. The Free Software Foundation has been _very_ good about pulling copies of code that the authors have withdrawn licenses for. That includes the Libreboot software, which is still GPL but is no longer published through the GNU project.
400 years of legal history, since the first copyright act in 1710, disagree with you. At a minimum, courts can and will force you to cease sharing that intellectual property.
That kind of claim has occurred before. The largest scale of claims were those by SCO, which claimed that core code to Linux was copied from SysV UNIX, for which they owned the copyrights. There were enormous difficulties with their claimss, which were well analyzed at https://www.groklaw.net./ It turned out that they refused to detail which code was copied, samples that they claimed were copied were from BSD UNIX and copied with permission, and SCO had been contributing to the UNIX kernel themselves. It also turned out they didn't own SysV UNIX, that was still owned by Novell, and SCO had not been paying their licensing fees.
If SCO had copied in any of the SysV code, or if anyone else had, the Linux developers would have had to negotiate that with Novell, the owners of SysV UNIX. Since Novell was suing SCO for their fraudulent lawsuits against the Linux community, I think there would have been no licensing difficulty for modest contributions.
I can actually remember doing the CDROM installation to support MyST on my personal computer of the era. I'd say that playing MyST was a good selling point for CDROM droves.
I enjoyed it tremendously, even though I did need to consult a walkthrough on a few rooms. to find the clickable icons. At the time, the immersive 3D landscape was _stunning_ to encounter. I tried the later, more 3D and graphically enhanced remake of it, which used the best available graphics tools, but was not truly happy about the remake. It was interesting to study and learn about the graphic enhancements, but they didn't provide the charm, for me, of the original. Even then, I was learning a great deal about how first impressions and acquired tastes work, so it became a very interesting psychological experiment.
Some of us remember how much of the design of the DEC Alpha was stolen by Intel for the Pentium. See https://www.nytimes.com/1997/0.... Between this and the theft of VMS technologies to create Windows NT, DEC went bankrupt and stopped producing new technologies to be stolen.
Excuse me, please, but no. I was referring specifically to "people at a company" from the previous poster, namely the people from the company that bought the old building. I was not attempting to confuse "they" with a different group.
As things stand, there is no sign that the data has been misused or illegally publicized. But the idea that no one cares, or should care, is a dangerous and mistaken one. Personally, I've been confronted with "what do I do with these records" questions when buying a company. It takes some thought, and some caution, even if the company had already gone out of business.
There could also be reporting of medical history for insurance applications, medical absences, negotiations for insurance disputes, and ADA accomodations.
They will care if someone is injured. They'll also care if this husband publishes any of those medical details: when the facility was purchased, that woman's company may have assumed responsibility for those medical records. A transfer of responsibility for fiscal records would seem a sensible and common part of the sale of a company, even of a franchise such as a Toys R' Us facility.
Please, re-read the article or even the summary. One of the big goals was to reduce the number of buses and drivers, by rescheduling so that the same bus can be used for two different schools with different start times. That kind of economy does not come from "optimal bus routes". For many districts, there are no "optimal bus routes" because the buses _must_ pick up children who are not on convenient, well organized routes, and because the buses are part of the rush hour traffic.
That is a good point. The configurations are still very similar, as is the format. My career predates rsyslogd by long enough that I still think "syslog" as the format, much as I think of "apache" rather than the technically correct "httpd" software name of the software.
I'd especially like to see any code that would publish log reports to an analysis database, and how they handle logs with punctuation and MySQL commands embedded in them. I'm thinking of the XKCD cartoon titled "Exploits of a Mom", at https://xkcd.com/327/
I believe you've missed my point. My point is that the upstream versions of these tools in most Linux operating systems have switched to systemd based logging, creating or maintaining a non-systemd based system is extra work. Switching away from systemd also means that monitoring tools designed to parse the distinct, binary, format means maintaining distinct, text based monitoring and log analysis tools. This all costs time and, for commercial projects, money.
"Easy things" that must be done repeatedly and customized, and kept compatible with the often unstable behavior of systemd, are additional work If I may say, one of the tasks that pays my salary is cleaning up after "simple matters of programming" that were badly done, did not report errors, did not catch edge cases, and which the author intended should simply be modified on the fly as needed. But then the author neglected to state what they were doing, and the API between one tool and another were never documented, and chaos occurred when those "simple matters of programming" interacted very badly. This has been occurring especially often lately with the Python 2 to Python 3 upgrades occurring in various operating systems. Stable tools, _including log analysis tools for systemd_, broke silently.
If I mght suggest, we should care. California farming is a major source of produce for the entire USA, especially crops like avocados, tomatoes, walnuts, and hay for livestock. And intellectual property agreements that reflect, especially in law or commercial agreement, rights of a consumer to modify software affect all users of software.

I've reviewed it, and a bit about contracts. The idea that it cannot be rescinded on a whim is well founded, and you have a point.
_Renewal_ of the contract, releasing new code, is not in any way compulsory.

You're quite right. The license can be considered a contract, not as easily ended by one party as I misremembered.
