If even Microsoft canât make a sufficiently compatible web browser, the web has a problem.
It may not be a unique problem â see Java, or Flash, or Python, or even C/C â but the web tried harder than most to separate specification from implementation.
To not be Office.

Microsoft is throwing in the towel with Edge and is building a new web browser for Windows 10, this time powered by Chromium. Good job google đ take down office next 𤣠windowscentral.com/microsoftâŚ

Yep, this is what's happening. Big transition. "The technology is reshaping how some companies approach recruiting, hiring and reviewing workers, offering employers an unrivaled look at job candidates through a new wave of invasive psychological assessment and surveillance."

Yeesh...airlines in UK used an algorithm to NOT assign families near each other when randomly picking seats, nudging families to pay for pre-assigned seats. Algorithms might hide the decision, but it's someone special to cook something like up

So let this be your daily reminder: never give your copyright away to anyone other than a foundation with bylaws around protecting it on terms you are comfortable with. When you see this kind of assignment, it tells you there is fundamental inequality

The problem here is about what kind of community we want. If we want Open Source community - then everything about this sets up a community where the primary author has more rights than the community does. That means the community itself is not sustainable.

Second, they use that assignment to grant themselves rights they wouldnât grant to others. In particular, they figured AGPL was hostile enough. But it wasnât - they have large hosted MongoDB competitors in the market. So they now force payment or open sourcing.

First - this change was possible because MongoDB required all copyright to be made jointly - the author and MongoDB hold identical rights. So they could relicense at any time. This is the most hostile thing to open source communities possible.

And here comes MongoDB with the Server Side Public License (SSPL). It takes AGPl and expands it to all the software required to run a service - essentially killing all competitors with SaaS businesses. Letâs talk real quick about this. mongodb.com/licensing/serverâŚ

The form says âchildâs signature.â
This is by design. This is not a stopgap. This is our government deciding that a 5 year old child can give informed consent to waive her rights.

If you knew me at Bard College, you may remember this scrap of fabric, and the jacket it came from. The good folks at @HILOBROW generously asked me to write the story behind my Coat of Many Colors, so please enjoy!

Larger implication:
Exposing lies is insufficient to reach across this kind of partisan divide. We have to look harder for the deeper implicit claims being made & why they resonate with those who seem unable to see the lies. They *can* see the lies but their *focus* is elsewhere

Of course they donât. Theyâre not idiots.
So then why isnât Kavanaugh hurt by this?
Because, as we (@ohahl @minjaekim22) show in our research, obvious (âcommon knowledgeâ) lies can be effective tools for proclaiming deeper truths to those who are primed to hear them.

THREAD: You may be wondering why only people on the left are worked up about Kavanaughâs obvious lies. I mean, do people on the right really believe his (changing) story about what âRenate alumnusâ meant?
29 Sep 2018
The most generous reading of Kavanaughâs repeated deceptions is that under normal circumstances he tells the truth but feels entitled to lie when he believes he is being treated unfairly or when a lot is on the line. In other words, a liar.

"At RH, we intend to provide support for OpenJDK 8 to our customers until 2023, and our policy of always âupstream firstâ implies that 8 will continue to be updated for critical bugs and security fixes until then. Something similar will happen for JDK 11." developers.redhat.com/blog/2âŚ

Yeah, I don't get why this isn't more of a part of the conversation. Also, these lies were almost daringly cynicalâhard to categorically disprove (*prove* to me that Kavanaugh & buddies didn't have their own non-canonical definition of "boofing") but just not at all plausible.
