In this case, both ethics and the law are murky.

Pretty excellent alignment, for once?

Let’s add a clause to all OSS licenses:

“…comes as-is, without warranties and without any commitment for future work. Complaints will get your feature request deprioritised, may get you banned, and will look silly to any potential employer googling your name”.

Also, let’s make it a meme to call out unreasonable behaviour: stop Jigar-Kumaring!

It’s not “luck”. They specifically look for such a donor.

This procedure was first used about a decade ago in Germany.

Prices have little to do with costs, and absolutely nothing to do with a minor issue such as local regulations of architectural standards.

“Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”

No, they’re just making stuff up.

The New York Times figuring this out faster than the FBI is quite impressive.

This is incredibly drastic data.

Please read something. Preferably section 230, which is short. Alternatively something entirely different, as long as that keeps you occupied.

There is absolutely no reason to believe there was another Single user getting this treatment before. The Elon-case was just copy & pasted as an ego-stroking hack.

Well, technically they are looking for relative changes, not equal total exposures.

Well don’t keep us guessing! What’s the secret cabal owning the financial system, according to your research, and how do they manage to own both the „serious“ business and the funny pages?

That’s just mindless contrarianism. There are plenty of successes of international cooperation. Of the top of my head: protection of the arctic and Antarctic, restrictions in the trade of ivory, tropical woods, big-game hunting (and trophies) etc. Lots of fishery agreements, nuclear testing ban, standards for offshore oil drilling, double-hull tankers etc.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg and only wrt the environment. EU and NAFTA are also international agreements that have teeth, as is the Berne convention on copyright (even if you don’t like it). Unicode is the UN in action as is the boat that will pick you up if you happen to get stranded on a deserted island (and have the necessary, and standardized, beacon). If you’re a Mongolian in a Mexican jail or a Mexican in a Mongolian jail, your embassy will be informed and allowed to render legal support, thanks to an international agreement to that effect. If you’re being subjected to cluster munitions, your foe is one of the few people on earth that wouldn’t enjoy a trip to the Netherlands. If you find yourself being extradited to The Hague, the plane you’re traveling on will conform to internationally agreed safety standards. A kilogram, meter, second, or joule is the same as your trading partners‘, thanks ISO, and the T in NATO seems to be some mighty piece of paper, considering how it manages to scare the shirtless man shitless.

Well I recently read about this so-called „Lambda School“ which was kinda fraud(ish), apparently? But I guess truth is a liberal, sorry: bourgeois, concept.

The difference is how the bank’s investors fare.

It could also be some Russian opponent of Putin, maybe in business or someone like Nawalny.

This article is extremely cautious, nuanced, and open in its attributions. Their mentioning of „unnamed sources“ in regards to Hersch also doesn’t include any judgement how that piece of information should change your judgement—that step is happening entirely in your brain.

Yeah, they stopped paying for API access because it got insanely expensive.

No, the reason they won't is that trackers and ads have little to do with the value of the content.

As long as there are any ads, the incentives stay the same. You're saying an internet completely free of monetary incentives would be better. I doubt that's true but it really doesn't matter, because it won't be happening.

That's part of the narrative for the financial crisis. Even without waging that particular fight, it's important to remember that, for a long time, there were plenty of barriers to full participation that had nothing to do with the individual's ability to afford something. Redlining is probably the best documented of these practices.

Governments cannot be sued in foreign courts, so there’s no liability.

Everybody peddling some kind of mob justice also has high self-esteem?

Empirically, there is a high propensity of Anne Frank simulator fans to also stab their coworkers, which is usually discouraged.

I mean… I can see HN arguing how it’s a great free speech endeavor to turn a Holocaust victim into a „fun“ adventure game, and how doing so says absolutely nothing about the creator.

But here we have pretty good evidence that it DOES say something about the creator.

What, we are going to harm some guy in jail?

15 or 16 feels strange. Maybe the war years, or shortly before?

You can’t think of another reason? Not maybe any of those mentioned in the thread?

And then you can’t think of reasons for the downvotes?

I see a pattern, maybe?

It continues to amaze how people are incapable of following even the most trivial cases of abstract reasoning.

Since it seems to be taken as fact that such projects are doomed to fail, let me give an example of the opposite: Airbus.

Let's start by leveraging the word "leveraging" into the sea. Also "meshes well". Because those terms are generic bordering on useless.

Do you want to use OSS software? Great, go ahead! The license isn't going to get in your way, it's essentially free-as-in-beer for you.

Do you want to make changes to the software and redistribute it? You may need to do so under the original license (for GPL and similar).
