This is obviously a subjective opinion, but at least in my mind, the point is to defend your rights. No one else is going to come along and defend you against the corporate steamroller.

I think Jacobsen vs Katzer [0] is the most relevant one to the discussion here, but there a number of successful cases on this front. If memory serves, BusyBox has also managed to enforce GPL in court on a number of occasions. [0] https:&#

Banks have very strict legal rules about minimum balance sheets. They don't have to have 100% coverage, but that doesn't mean it isn't there.

I don't really see how this is an issue, depending on the license text it's trivial to make the license apply in the same manner. As for winning, I think that's more of a US-centric view, if you sue elsewhere in the world the

This is why you have PR departments. Being on top of the HN front page, news sites, etc matters a lot. Even if you can't be the first, it's important to dilute the attention as much as possible to reduce the limelight your competi

> I don't think there was ever a period of time where creative works were just created for sake of itself rather for sharing it with others at masse. Numerous famous writers, painters, artists, etc counter this idea, Kafka being a n

I think this phrasing misses the point. If you paid back anything less than the inflation adjusted cost, the bank would lose money on the loan. Hence, the minimal amount you have to actually pay back is the inflation adjusted cost at the en

No, it isn't backwards when you consider the perspective of the bank. They give you 300k now, if you only paid them back 300k in total they would be incredibly deep in the red. Interest is there to offset that fact and then some. Even

I think that's going to be a very hard sell in nearly every scenario. In addition to vendor lock-in you'll then also have people on payroll only to keep your vendor lock-in functional.

This is a topic that often comes up, but once you pry, people usually overlook inflation. As an example, let's say you took out a $300,000 mortgage 30 years ago. The inflation adjusted cost of that today is $634,546 [0], so figurativel

This infamously does not work for factories though, or has that changed since I last checked? Typescript is great, but there are a number of places where it isn't quite there.

This is a nice idea, but what do you do when the OS tooling is not that good? macOS is a good example, they have OS level sandboxing [0], but the docs are practically nonexistent and the only way to figure it out is to read a bunch of blog

On the flip side, if you can't find a close enough type definition with reasonable effort, it's often a sign that you're about to enter gibberish type territory and it might be time to reconsider. Even if a type does exist in

Not that you asked, but physios have some great exercises for ulnar nerve issues, it might be worth seeing one if you haven't already.

I think you might've misunderstood the parent comment. Yoga is exercise, no one doubts that, but it specifically is not aerobic exercise (like running) and it is not weight lifting (like gym).

Apparently the current state of the art to fix this problem is to remove it and add an "omw" → "omw" text replacement in its stead. A friend recommended this to me and I haven't had problems with it since. Yes, it&#

The submission title is "FBI seized $40k from Linda Martin without charging her with a crime" which doesn't have that issue.

The title doesn't say nor imply anything about her getting it back though? It says her assets were seized which is correct.

Out of curiosity, how would you imagine that working out, technically and specifically? You start out with founders having equity, and maybe some early investors. Then you employ some people and... what happens exactly? Are new shares creat

This is a good point and you're right. My take was too narrow based on the types of companies I've been lucky enough to work at.

Interesting, I'm on Sequoia with Safari version 18.5 (20621.2.5.11.8).

I'm guessing you mean Safari on iOS, because it works just fine on macOS.

This is true of practically every online community. The vast majority of the users are passive participants, a small fraction contribute, and a small subset of contributors generate most of the content. Reddit is a prime example of this, th

It's completely false as in lead pipes didn't have anything to do with the fall of the Roman Empire as originally mentioned in the top comment.

The lead pipe thing is one of the best known urban legends that's both completely false and also constantly making rounds on the internet.
