> we believe that mass domestic surveillance of Americans constitutes a violation of fundamental rights

Mass surveillance of people constitutes a violation of fundamental rights. The red line is in the wrong place.

Yeah, but you can’t contract your software to the department of defense and then demand that they not use it to surveil foreigners. If that’s the line you want to draw, you’d have to avoid working with them in the first place.

Americans cannot even be bothered to care about americans, what makes you think they can be bothered to care about foreigners?

How can anybody take this guy seriously?

The LICENSE file that refers to is missing. There's one in the python folder, but not for the rest of the code.

IANAL.

Presuming (I haven't checked myself) the git author information supports this, it should be fine to treat this as licensing the code it specifies under MIT; based on that license name being (to my understanding) unambiguous and license application being based on contract law and contract law basically having at it's very core the principle of "meeting of the minds" along with wilful infringement being really really hard to even argue for if the only thing that's separating it from being 100% clearly licensed in all proper ways being not copying in an MIT `LICENSE` template with date and author name pasted into it.

Maxima, Axiom, SymPy, and many more CAS systems exist. They don't run Mathematica code, so if that's your goal they don't help.

There are also spider species with 6, 4, 2, and 0 eyes.

See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parietal_eye, a remnant "third eye" on the top of the head in some species.

Maybe get a new cat and donate $60k to an animal shelter?

I guess the fact of such services existing and competing drives forward and funds genetics research, so from that point of view I'm glad they exist, but it seems like a strange way to spend so much money.

If anyone in the Boston area is interested in adopting a cat, I can heartily recommend:

from which we recently adopted Grace Hopper and Enrico Fermi, now beloved family members.

Thank you for the links, I appreciate this. :)

It is not strange if you ever had a pet that meant a lot to you.

I know people who have grieved for months after losing their cat and their dog. Their connection was much more than "just a pet", it became family and as important as a child, sibling or parent.

Cloning is of course not guarantee the pet will be exactly as the original, but if there's a chance it will have similar personality I can very much understand the willingness to pay for it.

I get missing a pet dearly. I don't get how the clone fixes anything. Replacing them with a clone that has no memories seems like declaring the memories and history mean nothing, and that to me is a strange betrayal of the lost relationship.

Grief is hard, but going back is impossible.

The cloned cat may still have the opportunity to interact with the original, so it could just be taken in as a "child" kitten of the cloned cat.

The project is mostly to prove viability as I've seen focus on dogs and horses.

There is a great documentary on a scientist who is cloning Saudi Arabian horses.

Ah, I see. Well it's viable as people are doing it, but as well as being expensive it leads to multiple other cats needing homes: https://www.catster.com/weekly-mews/the-dark-side-of-cat-clo...

Seems best avoided.

That's fair. I'm not an evil cloner.

I was just curious, one could say, more or less.

Day, Dusk & Dawn cats. The idea seems something out of Issac Asimov's foundation.

Grieving for a pet is totally a thing. Comparing its importance to that of a child might be taking it a little far. Nothing would compare to losing a child.

I agree with you. I can imagine that people without children that have pets might feel like it's similar, but there's definitely quite a few several hundreds of thousand of years of evolution driving very distinct reactions.

Losing a child must, by force of nature, be much more difficult to handle than even a 20+ year relationship with one's dearest horse or Galapagos turtle or tiger cub or something.

It is interesting to think about, in any case.

We also don't allow cloning children, no matter how much you miss them. It's an ethical quagmire, and doesn't really address the problem (dealing with grief is hard, transplanting that grief onto a surrogate creates more problems)
