This isn't bonkers at all. It'll be absolutely necessary if we want to do anything significant in space at a reasonable cost per kilogram. For example, if you are an entrepreneur and take on the challenge to build a robot to mine

You can release code and still violate the GPL in other ways. For example, there are binary blobs out there and the GPL is pretty unequivocal on this point: "The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making mo

Since Fuscia is a new kernel, that means it will probably only support Google hardware. The status quo right now among android hardware vendors is to violate the GPL, and they have faced few if any repercussions for doing so. I wonder if Fu

A really nice thing about code written from the 90s and earlier is that it was designed from the get go to be perfomant, because it had to be. No one in conventional sw writes code like that anymore, not really. eg. When was the last time y

Any chance this release will include custom auth support? The lack of that was our main reason for staying away.

Why do you say sub-market? When Disney or any other huge corporation outsources their IT dept to India / China, that's the MARKET. Good Luck putting an import tax on virtual goods / services.

That's a bad inference to make. It certainly doesn't mean that. It's the rule, not the exception for new tech companies to experience a flat line or no growth period. The onus is on management to get out of that death spira

If you run a small business, it's a real thing. On wages, it's nearly impossible to compete with the big corporations. That leaves you with one choice - outsource your engineering to China or India. Or they could just come here (w

Thanks for your feedback. What do you think about this (filename preserving) scheme: example.org/urlcache/path/to/file/file.mimext?hashalg=hash eg. example.org/urlcache/file.png?sha384=9b78b27b73668784e38c

That doesn't release the IP into the public domain. The issue is that it's in a zombie state that creates liability / uncertainty for anyone that wants to use it.

This is pretty common misconception among first time entrepreneurs. If you need one, I could name a half a dozen great ideas off the top of my head. I think most entrepreneurs could. The bottom line is, if you want to build a business, you

I agree. Every major human civilizations in history that has arisen has eventually collapsed, usually due to resource exhaustion. It's arrogant to think that ours won't. It's just going to be on a much much bigger, global sca

Yes it does. The Libratus bot uses a conterfactual regret minimization algorithm variant of the CMUs teams' own design to calculate endgame strategy. The inputs to that algorithm explicitly takes into account previous player behavior.
