> I'm talking about the car's ethical choices in crashes, not the ethics of the programmers. There is no practical difference. Computers do what we tell them to do, whether what I …

> I think the ethical question is greatly overblown. Not at all. One programmer is going to make choices that affect ~ a billion vehicles one day, so something that doesn't happen …

Why use an ANKY in the title? Using an ANKY(Acronym no one knows yet) is bad writing, makes readers feel dumb, etc. Google JUST NOW invented that acronym, sticking it in the title …

Are they accepted upstream? If not, I'd like to see a link to the lkml thread for these.

Nope nope nope. Gpl is a binary decision whether you are in compliance and can distribute or not. So, in this case, it would be negative, not allowed to distribute. Unless the law …

Nope nope nope. My license can say "cannot distribute in places where law x exists." My license can say "no one can distribute. period."

I don't think they are tractable. They break the requirements.

Feedback. I can't get much from your screenshots since I can't expand them and they are too small to read anything. I don't know what a "simulated phishing campaign" is, what resul…

Because canonical wants to be the os of light weight vm images and docker images. You can't do that if the first step in distribution is always "boot into a separate filesystem, co…

In linux, there is the immutable file attribute which won't let root rm the file without first changing it with chattr.

Is Apache reporting back to the apache foundation about how you are using your apache software? Maybe your expectations about user tracking are the problem.

> not be based on anything technical, but on how an API is used in practice Since it's an api, the "in practice" is some other piece of code, so I would still call it a technical i…

No, no, no. "library" is completely different than "mere aggregation." https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#IfLibraryIsGPL : "If a library is released under the GPL (not the L…

Perfectly reasonable to assume they already have gotten NSLs.

Are you kidding? It's not in the first 10 pages of bing or yahoo. Being the #1 result is obviously done artificially.

It's been that way since the day it was announced. Google has been promising it doesn't put it's own results first[1]. But this fly's in the face of that, and it feels disrespectfu…

There is adoption & attraction of development because software has freedom. There is adoption & attraction of development because software does not have freedom. They are not mutua…

Among functional languages, I wouldn't call nix anywhere close to haskell. As for the free software, sounds like a typical baseless meme I've heard many times.

And MS made it hard to change operating systems. On linux, you get live oses, and easy multi-os with a boot menu. With msft making it hard/impossible to change oses with secureboot…

I don't think so. I just read the tivoization section (section 6), and skimmed the rest. The only thing allowed to prevent modifications is if it is physically not designed to do s…

And of course vendors still need to update the software, so people will just hack that method. Of course you will be violating the DMCA anti-circumvention statue, so it will be a f…

Rule by mandating locked down buggy horrible proprietary software? Absolutely ridiculous. And of course people will just hack the proprietary channel of updates, because of course …
