Your definition is definitely the historically more common one.

But see the final definition under the verb here: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/interdict#English

(transitive, US, military) To impede (an enemy); to interrupt or destroy (enemy communications, supply lines etc). [from 20th c.]

You see this version with the noun "interdictor" now as well.


A lot of my friends are professors or lecturers at universities with "motivationally-diverse" undergraduate populations; LLM-based cheating has become so common that they often reward higher marks to poorly-written papers, just by virtue of them not having been written by *GPT et al.


That Wiki page even has a section about the RH:

> The Riemann hypothesis is noteworthy for its appearance on the list of Hilbert problems, Smale's list, the list of Millennium Prize Problems, and even the Weil conjectures, in its geometric guise. Although it has been attacked by major mathematicians of our day, many experts believe that it will still be part of unsolved problems lists for many centuries. Hilbert himself declared: "If I were to awaken after having slept for a thousand years, my first question would be: Has the Riemann hypothesis been proved?"


I am generally open to this idea, but this particular way of defining what bundles are allowed or not seems incredibly weak. Take Adobe's Creative Cloud. There is almost no one in the world who uses all of the tools in it. There are dozens of alternatives made by other companies that only cover a single component software. Adobe is the market leader with virtually all of the component pieces of software. Why is the US not targeting Adobe with antitrust for bundling together tools for typesetters, marketers, video editors, animators, etc, etc?


It should be. "Allowed in the US" is a bar so low that you can get oil out the end of it.


The only reason is that law enforcement is reactive. And usually requires the tactic to be effective before it does (yes, too late by then).

Which is to say that Adobe can and very well might be targeted in the future for abusing their monopolistic position in image editing market to get people to start using their other tools by bundling them.


Two questions: do Adobe uses their dominant position in one of those markets to influence the clients in another market to use their product? Second, does Adobe's competition wishes to complain? The second part will prioritize the case, I think.


This is actually a great counter example to the previous post’s perspective on bundling vs markets.


The Republic of Gilead is named for the biblical name "Gilead" for a region in Jordan[0]; the shot is presumably named for the Balm of Gilead[1], also named for biblical Gilead.

Gilead is the name of the pharmaceutical company, not the drug.

The trade name of the drug is Sunlenca; the generic name is lenacapavir.


And fwiw, the company Gilead is indeed named for the Balm of Gilead.


Manufacturer names are frequently associated with their products.

e.g. nobody says "did you get Comirnaty or Spikevax?


Descovy and Truvada are already more commonly referred to by their marketing names than with Gilead’s. Hard to see how this new shot would be different.


Yes, I'm aware, but I bet way more women associate Gilead with the Handmaid's Tale than with the Balm of Gilead.


At some point the test stopped being fizz buzz and started being "reproduce Brent's cycle detection algorithm from memory or from first principles if you have forgotten what it is", which isn't testing your ability to program in any meaningful way.


i used to ask cycles in a graph. we were building a database, used graphs alot.

if we cant talk about the problem together from first principles and make some progress, and you cant demonstrate that you're tracking the discussion at all then we cant work together on that database.

sure, for devops, who cares.


Marijuana remains Schedule I in the US:

> 7360 Marijuana, including cannabis resin > 7350 Marijuana extracts; cannabinoids

The alleged rescheduling to Schedule III has yet to pass muster with the White House Office of Management and Budget, so it remains vaporware until then and the scheduling will likely not be changed for months after that.

Ho, isn’t that the icing on the cake.


The thing that makes them "caustic or acidic" is that they are acidic (~3pH), by virtue of having dissolved carbon dioxide (ie carbonic acid) + acidic preservatives in them. You are putting them into your stomach (with your gastric acid, ~2pH). If you spilled your stomach contents on the concrete shipping dock repeatedly, it would weaken the concrete much faster. Now, I don't drink soda and they are objectively bad for your teeth, but the fact that they eat away at concrete does not seem like the right reason to avoid them.


Yeah, also every day we ingest large quantities of an industrial polar solvent while inhaling 21% corrosive oxidizing gas.

This is in addition to the constant state of chemically-mediated algorithmic war with swarms or hive-minds of rogue nanotechnology from an ancient Gray Goo apocalypse, but that's another story.


OP's "cannot be used for bezos yacht" problem is about discriminatory licenses. If you don't care that eg Amazon can use your software, there is nothing at odds with what OP sees as a problem (discrimiatory licenses that violate points 5 or 6 of the OSD[0]).

For anyone wondering why this is here, I just found this: https://redis.com/blog/redis-adopts-dual-source-available-li...

> Redis will no longer be distributed under the three-clause Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD).

As of 6 days ago.


If there is community demand for it, a fork will appear. It’s a mature software project at this point so the maintenance burden should be manageable with a small core team of community developers.
