For those not aware, this is a specific feature available in Claude Code.

I believe they generally refer to themselves as open-core.

From this githubpage:

"Mattermost is an open source platform for secure collaboration across the entire software development lifecycle.. "

But also: "open source" -> "open core" (9 months ago) [1]

Opera was also essential at this point, not in terms of market share, but of innovation in the browser space with features that would eventually spread to everything else.

That shouldn't be forgotten. There was a time when the 1% or so of users that ran Opera were getting a much better experience than any other browser. It was far superior for several years, until all of its innovations were copied by other vendors.

Some of them do. There are very few products or services where all of them will.

Sure, but some people who were going to buy your competitors product forget about that and will instead find your product. I assume it all evens out.

I am blocked from this post.

Me too. I was browsing on my old Windows 8 computer that I refuse to upgrade and it did not like my OS. I don't like it either, but I'm not going to install a newer version, out of principle.

edit: added version

There's zero javascript on the page and it reads perfectly in lynx. I'm not sure how your browser could possibly be a variable here, unless TFA's platform is actively blocking certain user agents (which I suppose isn't quite ironic, but would not exactly send the best message to go with the arguments)

Yes, they do actively block certain user agents.

Maybe at some point someone whose web page you visit will take the initiative to upgrade your computer for you.

May I ask which OS you are on getting you blocked?

Answering this and other similar arguments/observations, and for the benefit of those unable to read TFA:

To answer one potential criticism, it's true that in some sense, blocking and so on for social reasons is not good and is in some theoretical sense arguably harmful for the overall web ecology. On the other hand, the current unchecked situation itself is also deeply harmful for the overall web ecology and it's only going to get worse if we do nothing, with more and more things effectively driven off the open web. We only get to pick the poison here.

(From TFA.)

This is still just moving the heat around, but with metamaterials you can now passively convert the heat energy into wavelengths that do not get absorbed by the atmosphere and beam a decent chunk of it back into space.

I would like to know more.

If Andre doing that was criminal, it seems quite possible that their original takeover of the github organization was also criminal?

I have been waiting to hear if there would be any civil action on it since it's not at all clear they had any rights to do most of what they did.

No, that's not at all clear. Ruby Central owns the AWS account for which Arko is (pretty clearly) being accused of changing the AWS root account password after having his access revoked.

I don't think for a second Arko will be charged, but there isn't a "nuh-uh, you did this gross thing in our open source community" defense for 18 USC 1030.

I didn't say it was clear, and I never said there was a defense. I implied that the wronged party in one case might want to be careful about raising the specter of liability or criminality.

Yeah. The temperature issue would have been my first guess.

Regarding concentrating solar: are people still trying to make that work for commercial generation? I thought this had generally failed to pan out for electricity generation.

Concentrated PV is pretty dead, the cost and complexity of the tracking is not at all worth it for the theoretical increase in efficiency.

The latest discoveries with double sided panels really puts the last nail in that coffin I believe.

There are still plants out there, but I don’t know how many are still operating versus being decommissioned.

There are many variations of concentrating solar. There’s the tower, there’s the curved mirror with the tube of oil, and there’s the magnifying glass with a small, exotic solar cell that can handle 10 Suns’ worth of light.

None of them work on overcast days because they rely on parallel rays of light.

But linkedin is doing so in accordance with the legal agreement you have with them, which I am able to exit at any time and instruct them to remove my data. I can't do this for every company that illegally (in many jurisdictions) hordes information about me.

You're currently on one of the very few sites with no delete/edit button for your own content (after a short initial period.) It's the only site I can think of that hoards my data like that. Which is why I only post anonymous throwaway content here.

This is not the definition of a static site.

Definitions are blurred. PHP file can be almost HTML file.
