The money doesn't go to the accountability partner. So if they place any value at all on your friendship, why would they do that? There's nothing to gain. Also: >I'm not going to put up $250 if I think there's even a

Why do you think self-driving cars are questionable? Maybe I've missed something, but it seems very plausible to me that they will take off; and even if Google didn't profit directly from the cars, their core business would profit

I received the same email, and wondered the same. The email itself also didn't contain an unsubscribe link; wouldn't that violate CAN-SPAM, if nothing else?

Why is it named Soylent? Because it made you ask that question.

But that's, as you said, to train their computer vision, not to make the CAPTCHA better as a CAPTCHA.

And the GPL only affects people who want to write proprietary software. How is the GPL somehow more evil than proprietary software in your worldview?

IANAL, but I don't think that would be GPL compatible. You're only explicitly allowing Apple to use it under the GPL, not other parties. And even though "unless you're Apple in which case it's the GPL" involves

Right, but presumably they want to have one library that can be used both in projects built for the app store and in projects not built for the app store.

Right, and the MIT license is GPL compatible, so people can incorporate this project into GPL projects. But they're considering adding anti-Apple restrictions to their license, which would make it GPL incompatible.

A moderation team catching a criminal act and reporting the IP address of the criminal doesn't do much good if there's no way to determine whose IP it is.

Unfortunately, licensing restrictions like that would make it incompatible with the GPL. One way around that would be dual licensing: allow people to use either the special MIT-but-no-Apple license, or the GPL. Presumably Apple wouldn'

I watched a friend get out of a ticket in California not by having a special license plate, but by being dressed in a suit, and being friendly. He was blatantly going 90+, and the cop seemed annoyed when he first approached the car. Then, I

The need is to identify a subscriber given an IP address they used in the past (to commit a crime). Knowing who is using a dynamic IP address now doesn't necessarily tell you who was previously using it.

There are two types of data here: traffic data, and data used to identify a customer given their IP address. The former seems obviously excessive to me. However, identifying customers from their IPs is pretty much only useful when there&#x2

Absolutely. A fixed reward (25 BTC) is rewarded each time a block is mined. Each block is based on the prior blocks in the chain, so when one miner mines a block, all the other miners must start over. Blocks are mined on average once every
