I’ll preface with IANACL, but you seem to be making a moral argument yourself about A), that it is not reasonable.

You have, I assume, a licensed copy of Harry Potter. That license restricts you from doing certain activities, like making (distributing? Lets go with distributing) derived works. Your models are derived works. Thus when you distribute your models, you’re violating the licence terms you “agreed” to when you acquired your copy of Harry Potter.

This is no judgement by me about whether that’s reasonable or not, just my understanding of the mechanics.

Do you mean SAML and/or generic OIDC? We’ve got a Metabase instance authenticating people via Google Workspaces (G Suite).

What are peoples thoughts on using TLS client certificates for authentication?

Given we're talking about APIs, we avoid many of the UX problems, but it feels like taking on a different set of problems than just using a bearer token. It does provide baked in solutions for things like revocation and expiry though.

Here in Australia we get a mix of US and British kids shows (on ABC Kids, have no idea what is shown on commercial channels), and its trivially easy to pick the US ones because they are dripping in morals, lessons, and such (and are also terrible).

I've started describing it to people as: British shows are designed to entertain first, and perhaps kids can learn something, whereas the US approach is THOU SHALT MAKE SURE CHILDREN UNDERSTAND RIGHT AND WRONG!.

Perhaps it's related to self-identification? People don't self-identify as cancerous, the cancer (or disease?) is an external actor invading the body. Whereas a disability is a feature or aspect of one's body.

(I don't have first hand experience with either, so I'm just musing too..)

I agree. Also, I think the amount of input you have into an activity is also somewhat inversely proportional to the shock when the accident happens.

People actively drive the car, so they may think "I have a chance to affect the outcome", whereas being a plane passenger is basically vegetating for X hours in a very uncomfortable seat, and there is no way you can actively influence the outcome in a positive way.

That was my thought as well. Just to drive the point home:

costs some 10,000 Americans their lives each year

with

Maybe a plane load every month or two.

Would have to be 100 planes/year (at ~100 people/plan)! Imagine if you had 8 plane crashes/month due to drunk pilots!

they just say; he/she died of X

That's what my sneaking suspicion was. I recall having heard expressions like "after a long battle with illness", but your point makes a lot of sense.

Actually, I realise there's no mention of losing in that expression, which was made clear to me after finding this article

after searching Google for the above phrase.

Goodbye Marco 11 years ago

> Stop saying that please.

Might come across as snarky, but really meaning not to: What's an expression that would be more acceptable?

As far as I can see, you need to use `Box`

Which is exactly what you said in the first place!

So you can have a list of Box<Show> in Rust, but you can't have a list of Show in Haskell.

But isn't this comparing two different things? You can't have a list of trait/typeclass in either language (excuse the pseudo-syntax):

    Rust: [Bar]
    Haskell: [Bar a => a]
But you can (with some extensions in Haskell) have:
    Rust: [Box<Bar>]
    Haskell: [Box Bar]
