A bowtie does not make you an expert on all things scientific.
Your best argument is that he wears a bowtie? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you aren't qualified to judge.
In fairness, he is a professional entertainer whose shtick is to be science-y. His bow tie has more factual connection to his job than science does.
But the average slashdot reader doesn't know the difference between the science, which is actually a process, and a high school physics class, which is education, not science.
In all likelihood Trump may also have prevented 4K or so people wandering into the US just because they want to.
What this nonsense ignores is the numbers. There are 50-300k people illegally crossing every month. The people in the caravan are the least dangerous people, the most fearful, powerless, who only make the trip in the safety of a group, and either couldn't afford or chose not to pay gangs to smuggle them in.
What if stunts to inflame their fears is exactly the newsvertainment that they signed up for?
If their purpose is actually only entertainment, it complicates the part where you measure if their actions make sense.
I go the other way than you in my analysis; I start with the facts as I understand them, and then I try to figure out what their intent is based on their actions. I totally ignore what they claim their intent is. So I very quickly come to the conclusion that they're not actually trying to achieve any of my goals, but they're trying very hard to look good on one cable newsvertainment channel. So newsvertainment is clearly their actual goal. Which is less evil than their stated goals, IMO.
Sorry Mr Neckbeard, that isn't what people say about Orange Man.
They do not say he is evil "therefore" his claims are wrong.
They say "He is evil and his claims are wrong." If he was evil and competent, the situation would be much worse. And if he was good but wrong, these people would be trying to help him.
In the US this requires an individual contract, you can't shrink-wrap or bundle a copyright assignment.
It seems that most projects allow contribution by mere pull request.
How many projects can actually produce a valid signed contract for each contributor? A few. Much less than the number of projects who claim that they own your copyright.;)
I paid about $5 for my first copy of slackware, but the disk was free; it was glued to the cover of some mainstream computer magazine. I only paid an opportunity convenience fee to somebody unconnected to the software.
2 and 3 are where it is at, but 3 is already part of the consulting mentioned in 2.
And the additional thing is hosting. Because otherwise, the slashdot effect would return, but these days it would be (slashdot^twitter) and we'd be really screwed.
Consulting, support, hosting. Each of those is individually more valuable than software-as-a-product.
Redis didn't offer anything new even when it was new, though. So no. The thing that people used instead of Brandybrand(TM) would have a different name, that's all.
Don't bother asking for citations in these situations.
They might even provide you a link, but it will say something entirely different than the claim. There is no there, there.
Just evaluate the truth of what is said. It doesn't matter who says an idea as to the truth of the idea, so citations are not relevant outside of A) a claimed source or B) academia.
While true, since it is phrased in the past tense, most of the people who adopted only the 1-clause BSD license have moved to the Apache 2 license, since that can be reused by everybody without having to count clauses.
OTOH, I reject 2 or 3-clause BSD-licensed software all the time. People using those licenses don't change as often, or care about license complaints.
IBM is one of the major contributors to open source, fear of IBM is just stupid.
All of the software that people speculate they wanted out of the deal are areas where they're already pushing out open source (mostly Apache 2 licensed, so usable by everybody, GPL/BSD/proprietary) and they're basing their profits on professional services to big users.
That's great for open source, great for smaller companies dedicated to open tools, great for business. The only people it sucks for are their competitors trying to sell lock-in that has less brand gravitas. LOL The world has sure changed!
I'm loving this new systemd world. SysV can burn in a fiery hell for all I care. No, I'm not going to explain the difference between a semaphore and a mutex; I'm hoping to forget that SysV ever existed! Use grpc, d-bus, or pass messages. No, you don't get to edit startup scripts on the fly, you have to check them into source control anyways, so even if they were plain-text, you can't do that. Talk to the BOFH and quit trying to fuck up the configuration by mashing the keyboard.
What if products and services are not even the same pie?
What if the services still have value?
The problem with your argument is that it is inherently number-based, ("somebody has to pay the bills") but you didn't do any math in the real situation, and didn't come up with a metaphor that even has the same number of important things.
For consulting work I make any tools I distribute Apache 2 licensed, so that each client can decide to release their parts later, or not.
Most don't want to, because it fulfills private use cases, but they still value having standardized tools ship with it.
IBM bought RedHat because, simply, services are worth more than products these days. Restrictive source only even helps with products, and even then it has disadvantages for most companies.
I won't build a tool using libraries unless they're Apache 2 licensed, if not available, a 1-clause BSD-style.
When you decide you don't like how I exercise my freedom and you try to restrict my choices so that I do what you want, you become the exact thing in the world that open source exists to fight.
None of the software is standard because it is better. It is standard because it respects people's choices. If you decide to change your license so that you don't respect my choices, I won't be using it, and neither will a lot of other people. And, our choices will be the standard software of the future.
And answer for business is not to release your source until after you get established in the market. The answer for everybody else, stop pretending you can see people's software before you can see the source. Let people who don't value the source pay the early adopter taxes to establish a solution in the market, and then if their business model is good and they want to be standard, they'll open it up. Apache 2 license allows everybody to do this at their own pace even when only making improvements.
It just means you don't have to add external memory. You'll use some sort of functional programming, and the state information will collapse as needed.
Yep. You can use it crack certain cryptography problems faster; problem though, the algorithm scales differently and doubling the key size makes it much harder to crack. Whereas, using traditional brute force on regular computers, doubling the key size only helps a little bit. So 32 bit encryption will eventually fall to quantum computers.
But even 128 bit keys, it doesn't look promising to crack more than a tiny volume of stuff, even in hundreds of years.
It will be valuable to certain areas of scientific research though, I'm sure. But don't expect to see it in the datacenter. And use 256 bit keys.
If they "made it known," then why don't you know when the activities it accuses him of happened?
You care, and you still don't know. Maybe nobody knows but me, the reporter, and the prosecutor.
It doesn't fucking matter what you think of the rape charges. That was my point. The maximum penalty he was facing was less than what he already sentenced himself to in that fucking closet. And now, he finally has what he always wanted; a sealed indictment. From the United States. For helping to hack our election.
The stuff he did in the past was stuff that pisses off the US Government, but is explicitly legal and protected here. He is not and never was going to be charged for any of that. These are current charges responding to recent events.
You can easily measure the social skills of a bird species by how large of groups they form for shared activities.
I've seen groups of many thousands of crows who were gathered for no apparent purpose other than some shared social activity. It wasn't mating season, or near a change in weather season, so I'm guessing it was election season.
Just because crows like combat sports doesn't automatically mean they lack social skills.
Like Assange, who wasn't under US indictment when he started hiding in a closet, but is now, for the crimes he committed in said closet.
What a fucking moron. World class idiot. He could have returned to Sweden, been questioned, maybe even been charged and jailed for a few months, and then gone home.
Instead, he hid in a place where they can't pull him out, but he also can't escape, and committed crimes remotely while there.
Slashdot Mirror
I was bothered more by the lack of understanding that friendly competition where the results are shared is more effective than pooling the work.
If software is open source, competition benefits everybody inherently.
Maybe this is why the field is so slow to advance? They still haven't internalized the lessons their own field taught the world two generations ago.
We should terraform Antarctica just to piss Bill Nye off.
Who's up for that?
Hold my coffee... Done!
Go and check for yourself, it now has a climate exactly identical to that found on Terra. You're welcome.

No, but it ISN'T called debugging, either. ;)
If we could get people to think inside the box, we could let the cat go.
