I’m saying that “open source” can mean both things. The parent was arguing that it only means the licensing. I’m not arguing that it always means the development model.
> The Wikipedia page you linked to refers to "Open-source software development (OSSD)" which implies that it's a different concept than "open source" by itself
By that logic, “open source licensing” would also imply a different concept than “open source” by itself.
Note that the Wikipedia page for “open-source software” [2] states: “Open-source software is a prominent example of open collaboration, meaning any capable user is able to participate online in development, making the number of possible contributors indefinite”. That would really only be the case in the context of open-source development.
I am now waiting for Gruber (daringfireball.net) to post another rant about how terrible EU regulation is.
Zero-knowledge proofs are the way to go for this type of thing, I find it mind-boggling that the US lets itself be bamboozled into complete lack of privacy.
I changed positions in April. I decided after 15 years at the same company that I wanted to work closer to home so I started looking and agreed to an offer about a week later. I gave a four week notice and the transition was smooth.
There are some fields and sets of skills where I think it might actually be impossible for someone to be unemployed except by choice.
And if anyone wants to get into PKD, I highly recommend the following books:
* Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
* Ubik
* The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch
* A Scanner Darkly
* VALIS (but probably not until you've read some of his others, and also read a bit about his life, because it's pseudo-autobiographical)
I just finished reading a biography of him called "Divine Invasions" (not to be confused with his book "The Divine Invasion", which is roughly a sequel to VALIS), which I recommend as well. PKD was an utterly brilliant, fascinating, and sadly broken man.
