Well. Uhm. We don't know us well. I guess this needs some clarification.

We're a "15 year old startup" and we're very active with serveral open source projects. Our decision to not open source the project at the early stages is a decision that serves certain goals for us and the project.

First of all, we see some interest in the technical foundation of eZing. We admit it, we don't want to see a lot of forks and other people making profits based on our work while our initial investments are not covered. Yes, we're selfish like that.

The second goal is that we want eZing to stay. Forever if possible. When we look at successful open source projects, we noticed that quite some of them have had a proprietary or at least a protected "childhood". If open sourced at the right moment, a development community can take the momentum and relevance of the software and lead it to heights a single company is not able to.
There are two things that can go wrong: Open source it too early, before the technology is relevant or open source it too late, when the horse is already dead. The approach we choose is of course not a guarantee, but we believe in this approach.

Regarding the review and transparency: We are not willing to limit disclosure of the source code only to security companies or entities like that. We know that trust is not easily earned. If you allow us to dream, then we would - under NDA, see our first goal - disclose the code on a permanent basis to a group of developers that have earned the trust of the community until we finally release it as open source.

We're thankful for your thoughts on this and we would be glad to further discuss solutions so we get eZing off the ground.

A Four-Step Process for Winning Grant Funding
I've written and rewritten a comment for this thread several times now, but every time I get close to posting it, I feel obliged to go back and revise it.

The simple truth is that, given how toxic and charged a lot of the activism is around this topic, I don't feel able to make any kind of substantive comment that won't be misinterpreted, deliberately or otherwise, and used to pillior me.
"In 2016, there’s fairly solid agreement about the proper course of treatment for otherwise healthy, stable young people who have persistent gender dysphoria, and who are either approaching puberty or older than that: You help them transition to their true gender. The process is different from person to person, but for an 11-year-old, it might include a round of puberty-blocking hormones to prevent the development of secondary sex characteristics and buy time to figure out the best course of transition, followed by the administration of male or female hormones, and, later on, possibly sex-reassignment surgery or surgeries."

Uh. It's late, so I might not be processing this right, but this might be the most insanely amazing thing I've seen Amazon do, or maybe any technology company. They just, from what I can tell:

a) Commoditized game engines

b) Released an open source game engine that can build AAA games

c) Are going to bootstrap an open source community around the game engine while supporting it

d) Are not forcing the use of any of their services to develop games with this engine

As someone who has been working in VR the last year or two I've been saying for a while that it's going to be important that we see a rise of open source in game engine technology the way we've seen it with the web before we really have arrived at having VR be the next platform. This has felt more like a dream than a real possibility: I didn't in my wildest dreams think we'd see an open source modern game engine anytime in the next 5 years since I assumed it'd have to be developed from scratch. And here we are having Amazon put this out, which might very well overturn the entire industry overnight.
There is legitimate value added by robos that aren't accessible from target date funds. As to how valuable, it is up to the individuals to decide.

- tax-sensitive allocations (i.e. munis in taxable account, reit, total bond in tax advantaged account)
- Continuous tax-loss harvesting
- Continuously adjustable allocation
- forecasting and allocation advice
- "goal based" accounts

Also user experience is worth something for some people:
- UI/Apps
- statements, trade confirms, tax forms
- electronic only (no reams of paper sent to you)
- ease of transferring funds in/out

Also note that it can be cheap. WiseBanyan is presently free (charging 25bp to turn on TLH). Betterment at 15bp ends up being only 10bp more than Vanguard's Target date funds funds at 18bp.

>We want to offer you a way to support us while also addressing those concerns

Then actually address those concerns, rather than just telling us to ignore them (whitelist) or pay up.

I don't care about ads, really. Yes they are a petty annoyance, but I grew up with magazines, newspapers, TV, and radio all supported by ads. However, the way they presented their ads was markedly different.

* Their ads didn't invite dozens of third parties to spy on everything I do.

* Their ads didn't break into my home, rifle through my things, and set up operations doing potentially illegal activities in my basement.

* When I wanted to read a 1-page article in their magazine, yes they showed me some ads, but I didn't have to pay the full cost of having a 20-volume encyclopedia delivered to my house just for the ads on that page.

Find a way to advertise without constantly assaulting the reader. Actually address your readers' concerns instead of downplaying them and knowingly causing harm to your readers. You have other options. Taking them, and proving that you can be successful without being evil, that would make a difference.

>Credit scores are what separate me from the idiots who are insolvent and going bankrupt.

You'd think that. I know a person that has gone bankrupt 5 times. He's always able to coax his credit score up within 2-3 years to rack up another 100k in credit card debt before he files for bankruptcy again, right on schedule.

I also know responsible people who've been completely fucked over by insurance companies who refuse to pay claims based on their own clerical errors, among many other horror stories.

Credit reporting is an unreliable, oppressive system, where your financial well-being is left in the hands of 3 companies that have minimal oversight and exist primarily to help lenders fuck the consumer out of money.

Anyone who has your social security number can start reporting derogatory accounts on your credit and seriously hurt your life that way. Think twice before you fork that number over to the dental receptionist.

The idea of this type of hack is to force a change in the methodology, not just to reset the counter. These hacks would have to be continuous service disruptions to be effective. They can't just do it once and let everything go back to normal.

For what it's worth, my credit score is currently in the mid-700s.

I personally believe this type of thing is inevitable. There are people in the government who recognize this too, and have been pushing for cybersecurity initiatives to prevent it (though these concerns have been co-opted by politicians for use in forcing down oppressive copyright and surveillance legislation, pleasing media company donors).

There is a great deal of latent risk in this hyperconnected world. It'll be amazing and frightening to watch hacks at this type of scale play out. Like I said, I have no doubt whatsoever that they will.

I don't disagree with you per se, but I do think you're exaggerating things a little with regards to just how unique Sublime Text is. I've spent a lot of time switching between text editors (more time than I really should - but sometimes procrastination trumps productivity) and here are some of my thoughts on the points you've raised:

> Brackets was only good for web (wasn't it?)

That's certainly where it excels at, but there are plugins for other languages (eg I did write Go code in Brackets, albeit only for a brief period).

> Notepad++ is, I think, quite outdated

It's not the prettiest editor in the world, but it's a little unfair calling it "outdated" when it releases updates more frequent than Sublime Text does.

> Emacs (and Vim!) are hard to learn and slowly dying off

They're no harder to learn than any other IDE. But it's definitely fair to say that there's a steeper initial curve than something that's largely point-and-click; and that they're not as trendy nor pretty so most users (understandably) aren't interested in familiarising themselves with the basics.

> Other specific editors are... specific, and thus not direct competition to ST

That's not entirely fair as a lot of peoples ST use will be for specific things.

In fact I often find myself using about half a dozen different general purpose text editors for specific things: vi for when I need to edit root owned files; Kate for general config files / text files; ST for Go; Brackets for JS and CSS; Notepad++ for editing Windows scripts; and POSIX tools (echo, tee, sed, awk, grep, etc) for automation in editing text documents.

For me, ST could easily be replaced by any of the other editors I use or some of the specific ones (eg LiteIDE). I pretty much only use ST for Go because of habit and I'm sure in 6 months time I'd have gotten bored and switched again.

My point is that not everyones usage for ST to be as diverse as you suggest. So Sublime Text is still having to compete with other tailored editors as well as the general purpose ones.

> windows only ... KDE, that is very niche compared to Windows, OSX

I don't think that many people switch between Windows, OS X and Linux enough that they need a single cross-platform editor. For most people, an editor that "just works" on their preferred platform is all they need. So in that regard, Kate and Notepad++ are just as viable competitors to Sublime Text as Atom is; albeit the former two are only competitors on specific platforms.

For some reason I read Durkheim's book on the origins of religion. Back then I was also reading stuff like William James on the variety of religious experience. Very interesting stuff, and they're both great scholars.

Durkheim of course discusses the sacred at great length, tracing it in the case of Polynesian tribes to the social concept of mana. (Just showing that I've read the book!)

The reason he was able to present this theory in a convincing way that advanced the state of the art in anthropology and sociology and religious studies, it seems to me, is that he was well-trained in the scientific method and scientific writing, so he was able to discuss it all on a scientific basis—that is, I suppose, separating the etic from the emic.

Again I'm simply curious about how the scientist in the article manages that... and I've seen a lot of people get into psychedelics and then kind of lose their ability to talk clearly from a scientific, secular, non-mystic perspective.

Maybe you'll see my point of view more clearly if I say that I have absolutely nothing against the mystic perspective—I just think the value of science lies in its refusal to really "go native." And I think religious studies and religious psychology etc is more fascinating the more it sticks to the scientific/philosophical project of secular explanation.

My initial knee-jerk reaction was about a psychologist publishing a book with the title "Sacred Knowledge." I am probably mistaken about this reaction... it was bolstered by the article's quotes about "sacred molecules" and empirical proof of Jung and excitement about some guy who saw dancing gods on a drug trip, fractal patterns, and so on.

I'm super interested in how we could, with philosophical and scientific rigor, discuss whatever is the actual content of "mystical consciousness." James's work was an empirical and mostly anecdotal study of life-changing mystical experiences, and I thought it was very interesting. I think there are some interesting aspects in Heideggerian phenomenology that would be relevant. Mildly interesting: the reason why those deep learning pictures look like LSD visuals.

If I were to start studying this stuff myself in any serious way, I would also probably be likely to "go native" or "go weird" or blur the emic/etic, etc.

Still, the whole project is very interesting, and kind of seems to represent the whole "Enlightenment project" in a way. Using secular science to treat and collaborate on things that previously was the realm of shamans and priests. Just, how does the scientist not become the priest, even after 100 doses of entheogens?
Maybe Amazon is serious but I personally doubt it.

If you really want to be the next big engine you need large support teams. Dev rel people, tech support people, you need to organize conferences, constantly put up tutorials, evangelize, etc..

Maybe Amazon will do that but most tech companies that barf out an open source engine have generally not really committed to support them past the 2 or 3 engineers that started them and who will only continue to support them for 6 months until either they get bored or until their boss tells them to get back to their real job

Of course if Amazon is serious and they actually have a budget for 100s of people on the teams supporting this then great!

I know. The resources are properly allocated by the market.

How do we know they are properly allocated? because in other case, the market would be allocating them in another way.

Don't you think there is a circular reasoning there somewhere?

Even when the economy is under-performing, and there are obviously underutilized resources, we have to accept it because there is not profit in perspective to make. This is the logic that, for instance, pursue austerity in Europe instead of counter-cyclic policies that would be the logic thing to do.

What about using markets as a tool for accomplish society goals instead of as the way to define the goals? What about defining goals using that other tool we have: democracy.
To put it kind of humorously, I think science itself is sacred in its own way, and by introducing priest-like behavior among scientists, that's violating the sacredness of science as a distinct secular project.

> You'd like for this to optimize down to a function call, without saving any state from the outer scope. Don't know if Rust does this yet.

It does. Rust closures translate to a stack struct containing the capture and a method call on that struct. In this case, the struct is zero-sized, so it doesn't exist, so it's just a function call. Additionally, unwrap_or_else will probably be monomorphised and then inlined, so there will be no call at all.

"closure" is just the term for the syntax.

> You can't pass a pointer to a function.

Sure you can.

fn main() {
Ok(1).unwrap_or_else(inc);
}

fn inc(x: u8) -> u8 {
x+1
}

Both functions and closures implement the Fn* traits
I don't think it's disregard for the complexity of actions. I understand that pretty well. No one's saying it won't be messy, but you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.

I absolutely agree that there would be far-reaching consequences from hacks that neutralized the medical billing/insurance systems and the credit reporting systems, but I disagree with your assessment that those consequences would be a net negative. I believe they would be net positive.

They might not put 100s on it (MVP, MVP, MVP), but they have traditionally done very good work in developer relations, technical support, documentation, example code, etc. This doesn't seem like a half-arsed project at all. I imagine it's a strategic move.

Ha, I love the 2012 models and still have my 2012 15" rMBP. Save for the bullshit ghosting issue (three screens later I finally got my non-ghosting Samsung screen – oh, first gen woes) that was handled awfully by Apple at the time I love this device. Oh, and rubber feet falling off after four years suck, but, eh.

All the things they removed are things I never ever used. Or used rarely but didn’t really need. Exactly all the things you mention. All the rest (the performance over the Airs, the gorgeous screen over the Airs and previous Pros, the lightness, compactness, extremely solid feeling stability of the thing), it’s all just there.

Just accpet that not all people have the same needs as you. I think the 2012 models are a pitch-perfect demonstration of striking exactly the right balance (for most people). I love ’em to death. And things got only better from there, albeit incrementally.

I used to work for a forex hedge fund, so I witnessed some of this trend (though primarily via my boss who had regular conversations with many banks). This trend is very real. Underlying it is the continual shift towards automation, but it was greatly amplified by both the financial crisis and then the forex scandals. We interacted with many former forex traders who had transitioned to a sales or support role. We also at times had trouble getting anything done with banks because everyone was seemingly fired or on leave due a scandal.

Then the ads got sufficiently obnoxious that everybody started wiping them out.
