You mean a "lie." Calling a notched iPhone "all-screen" is a bit of a stretch. This is just straight upfalse.

Being targeted for hacking only adds to the risk of being involved in a regular old accident, not replaces it; and no matter who you are, your odds of eventually being involved in a non-hacking related crash are pretty high. The difference

You're orders of magnitude more likely to die in a regular old car accident than you are as a result of your car being hacked. I'm as concerned about insecure computers in cars as the next tinfoil-wearing conspiracy theorist (that

Thanks, that's quite interesting. Still, you do need very specific input materials for both processes. In the case of the latter, you basically need a spool of explosive string. You're not so much printing an explosive as you are

You can "download" crappy, not very effective guns. And you still need to obtain the ammo (the actually lethal part) the old-fashioned way. I would very much be surprised if it becomes possible for drugs or explosives any time wit

I think car companies should prevent people from publishing safety or performance analysis of their vehicles. And restaurants should disallow public reviews of their business. (Very few people have the culinary knowledge to properly and obj

I very much doubt that is true. They wouldn't exist as a commercial carrier for long if they did this.

No idea. It seems to be sold under the "if you need to ask, you can't afford it" pricing model. These things are definitely not intended for home use; I don't think any tape drives being sold today are, really.

The cartridge is the same. It can be reformatted from 10 to 15TB using the newer tape drive. https://spectralogic.com/features/ts1155-technology-tape-dri...

An IBM 3592 JD Advanced Data Tape Cartridge costs a bit over $200 and has a raw (uncompressed) storage capacity of 15TB. An LTO-8 cartridge is 12TB and under $200. Meanwhile the cheapest 10TB HDD Newegg sells is $304.27.

I think Creative Commons licenses are much better known than Apache Commons. (This is the first time I've heard of the latter, for example.)

Yup. Open-source is a whole philosophy. What you're talking about is called source-available software.

I believe most of the modules that have been re-licensed under this new license were previously AGPL.

Re. 1, that's a fair point. For what it's worth, the blog post does explicitly promise, in writing, that Redis itself will remain BSD-licensed forever. Take that for what you will, since I certainly don't have any more info o

No, nothing you obtain from the antirez/redis repo will come with this restriction clause, and you are free to continue using it under the terms of the vanilla BSD license. The new clause is mainly used for some of the add-on Redis mod

IANAL, but my understanding is that as long as you only provide the knowledge but not the actual software you're fine. e.g.: conducting paid training sessions, even ones where the attendants are required to download the software from t

Sorry for spamming this all over the post, but I think it's important enough for everyone to see this: Redis itself IS NOT changing licenses, and if you only use the core Redis product you are unaffected. This license change only appli

To be clear, this license does not (and, according to the post, never will) apply to regular Redis deployments, so from that angle at least you're clear. Currently it only applies to certain Redis modules, which need to be deployed sep

by slavak 8y ago
But this _doesn't_ make Redis proprietary, because Redis is and will always remain BSD-licensed, THAT is what the claim you're referring to is talking about.

This is intuitively true, but is it also factually true? Many studies ( https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/kze8qn/the-hidden-epi... ) seem to indicate that, at least for cases of actual rape, it is not, and
