Once upon a time Google used few and non-intrusive ads. The ads were soo well-placed and relevant, that they almost seemed like a service to the user, rather than being forced upon you. Some of us even added exceptions for Google ads in our ad blockers, so we would not miss out.

I miss those days.

We go outside because it is too hot to stay inside.

Yes

That is a stupid question

Why did the US suddenly become a part of this discussion?

The US is absolutely a flawed democracy, no doubt about that. However the people’s vote in the elections does have a real impact on the political decisions of the country.

The amount of influence the voters have can be debated, but it is far from nothing. Thus the US elections are not purely theaterical, and therefore there is sense in having elections in the US.

That is the most plausible explanation I have heard yet.

Yeah I know it is a theater, that is what I said. What I don’t understand is why they keep it up? It seems so pointless, but they still hold “elections”. What ie the reason for that?

I cannot understand why they even bother to do the elections at all. It is just for show, and everybody know it. Why not just skip it completely?

What he means is, your security considerations here must come from some perceived threat. What kind of threat do you forsee that requires this high level of security?

Usually when you consider security you start with a threat model, describing the scenarios you want to protect your systems from. And based on that you decide the necessary technical security measures that are relevant.

It is time to rename the company. OpenAI is not open anymore, and has not been for a while now.

Another option to decrease spending is to increase taxes. That would of cause target the rich more, whereas increasing the interest rates is usually a benefit for the rich and hurts everyone else.

No wonder why increasing taxes instead of interest rates are never discussed to tackle inflation.

I believe that is very very far from true. Do you have any source on that?

This is not a diagnosis test. You do not have ADHD just because this described you. However if you have ADHD there is a high likelihood that this describes you.

Because it has become a faux pas to criticize religion. Religion is something personal and if you criticize it you are offending people personally, and that is forbidden by our recently new social norms.

The mental health institution helps by taking you out of your everyday problems. They provide a safe simple environment, where all you have to focus on is yourself and your mental health.

In a way it is putting all the problems outside of yourself on pause, so you can focus on your mental health.

Bot hell?

I agree, it is much more clear. I do like Free also, but it is confusing in English.

It has evolved of cause. One of the sources you referred to, the OSI, has a clear agenda to define the term open source software according to their own definition. They are advocating that we use the term in the more narrow sense as you described, rather than the more original broad sense.

The Wikipedia article basically just cites OSIs definition. If you dig into the talk page on Wikipedia it is clearly a disbuted definition that is currently written.

While I absolutely am a proponent of free, libre or open source software, no matter what we call it, the narrow definition OSI suggests of open source software is still not how most people understand the term.

Narrowing the term open source software the way OSI proposes increases the confusion, it doesn’t help.

You are cherry-picking quite a bit in that Wikipedia article. There is also a whole section discussing the confusion between the terms open source, free and libre.

I would venture that the most commonly understood definition of the term is that open source software simply means what it says, that the source code is openly available. And nothing more.

Free or libre software expresses the intention you describe explicitly, that the recipient is allowed to share and modify the software. Thus removing ambiguity.

Open Source is indeed a term existing for many years, probably a lot longer than you are thinking about. Trying to redefine that as meaning anything more than what is says is what is causing confusion.

Exactly. Also it is interesting how I am getting downvoted while you are getting upvoted - even though we are saying the same thing.
