This is very close minded. It's best to avoid statements like that.

I feel like having a working python environment is not a great requirement to managing your python environment.

I see this comment pop up every now and then on HN in specific, but I've never personally had a lawyer tell me this; is there any chance anyone could share an actual example of this?

I worked in a large org with 100,000+ employees. You could just use software with pre-approved licences and I am 99% sure AGPL wasn't one of them.

The tariff would apply when Netflix pays for the distribution rights to a movie or TV show.

My uninformed assumption is that most licencing arrangement have per viewer component? Not just a lump sum that can be taxed once?

What would a meaningful fight look like?

If this happened here in Canada, I would go to weekly protests against this administration. When I was younger I went to dozens of daily protest for something insignificant in comparison [1] and it did lead to a change of gouvernement.

Not sure how you even tarif movies. I guess Netflix will receive bills based on viewership?

Anyway, as usual other countries will retaliate. American movies will become both more expensive to make and taxed abroad. Meanwhile, we can expect more people will turn to piracy to cope with rising inflation. I can't imagine any scenario where this isn't backfiring.

>It is hard to believe a French researcher, traveling from France to the US, was in possession of confidential information he retrieved from a US national lab.

Not at all, it's much more believable than the original story. Traveling scientists frequently work at national labs.

>It is harder to believe they didn't arrest him for this.

Nondisclosure agreements are civil in nature, not criminal.

Are civil affairs litigated at the border by custom agents now?

I really like duckdb's notebooks for exploration and this feature makes them even more awesome, but the fact that I can't share, export or commit them into a git repo feels extremely limiting. It's neat-ish that it dodfoods and store them in a duckdb database. It even seems to stores historical versions, but I can't really do anything with it..

I am Canadian. I just went to Australia and hearing Americans talking politics on the next table over at the restaurant was maddening. At this point, the idea of being surrounded by Americans feels extremely uncomfortable.

> Route Ottawa to Vancouver in google maps.

I'm not sure this is evidence of anything that you're claiming. Google routes based on criteria you choose, typically 'fastest' or 'most fuel efficient', that does nothing to prove that other routes don't exist.

After "avoid tolls", google will have to implement a avoid "hostile countries"..

An honest question: what is wrong with reciprocal tariff? Wouldn't that be fair to both countries? I understand that there were many compromises when the countries signed trade deals like NAFTA, so we got some protective tariffs here and there, but I was wondering in general why reciprocal tariff is considered unfair.
jpambrun · 5 months ago
I guess it could be fair, but those are unilateral. The official justifications such as considering sales tax, are bogus. The unofficial justification (or official depending on time of day..) is annexation. Surely, you see how this isn't perceived as fair from up North?
