> Pick a car you like, and Drive lets you configure options, set up a financing plan, and pay the dealer right there. Then all you do is drop by the lot and pick up your new car. Drive brings the Tesla buying experience to every other car brand.

Not at all. Perhaps the biggest benefit of all to the Tesla approach is not having to deal with a dealership at all. This is still going to incur all of the traditional slimy dealer markups.
Building things from scratch necessarily will introduce more bugs, more maintenance costs and leave you with a codebase that suffers from a lack of maturity.

Unfortunately, in some programming language ecosystems where having many small and transitive dependencies on modules from an non-curated repository is common, none of those three things is necessarily true.

Code reuse is not a trivial problem, and you always have to weigh the benefits against the costs and risks to decide whether it’s worth it. If we’re depending on GitHub repositories with a dozen files and three subdirectories just to provide some simple functionality that any junior programmer could implement directly in five lines of code, we’ve probably lost the plot. On the other hand, if we have a full in-house implementation of encryption algorithms we use to throw sensitive customer data around between the browser and our servers, we’ve also probably lost the plot.

To generate that (highly optimistic) tax liability, new factory would have to generate multiples of that amount in business activity, and the theory goes that not only the rest of the business activity is taxable, but it also generates ancillary residential and commercial activity resulting in increased tax base.

I don't know about that statement. If someone can't understand basic source control, and the benefits it brings, what else in their software are they not thinking of?
The wave may contain the information necessary to describe the event that created it. If you know, perhaps by frequency, that the wave came from two super-massive black holes spinning around each other at a given rate, then you know how massive each hole should be. From that you can predict the energy of the wave. And from that you know how far away the event must be for the energy behind the wave to have spread so thin. It's basically the same process as calculating distance via cepheid variable stars.

Photon's and gravitons have to be masses because Gravity and Light and interact with matter at finite distances.

If your 1 billion light years from earth, you are still effected by the Earth's gravity (well its likely smaller then experimental error but never mind that it still exist).

So there needs to be gravitons from Earth flooding the entire sphere of space for 1 billion light years around the Earth. All these gravitons have mass, and are emitting their own gravitons. Which all have mass and energy! Where is this mass and energy coming from? It really can't, it violates the laws of thermodynamics. But so does Dark Energy so who knows.

I wish them the best of luck but dealerships are pretty entrenched in their ways.

Just went through the car buying experience recently and the best way by far was to blast emails to all dealers with the specific trim+options we wanted and then use their written quotes to leverage against each other. I explicitly didn't do anything over the phone for this exact reason.

One thing I found fascinating was that the local Subaru dealers was totally cool with this approach while trying to talk to Mazda dealers was like pulling teeth to get a window sheet or quote. Subaru took us ~2 days to nail down while Mazda was ~1.5 week of back and forth.

The Tesla experience still beats all of them hands-down(we'd rather own a second Telsa if it was feasible) so I hope they can mix up things in some manner.
> a response from GitHub outlining their position would at least give everyone a clear baseline for what to expect from GitHub in the future.

Um, exactly?

A "Fuck off and die, you don't pay our bills" response is going to provoke outrage and maybe even action. It would certainly provide reinforcement for those of us who don't really like github for various reasons.

Not responding at all leaves things vague and doesn't provoke action.

Want github to respond? Start moving some famous projects off of github and onto something else. A couple big name projects that start making some other service look like the "default" winner and github will get REAL responsive.

Until people start moving projects (like this one), github doesn't have to care.

Edit: for bad grammar.

Gender bias in open source: Pull request acceptance of women versus men [pdf]
How would you solve this? I think that GNU Social's goals are to decentralize social networks. How would you "fix" this without some kind of centralized identity verifying registry? If someone hosted a GNU social where impersonators were not purged, I think other GNU socials would exclude them from their circle of trusts in addition to purging bad users from their own systems. The centralization will most likely be rejected by the privacy and small government advocates in the community.

I believe that rather than saying your issue is not solved, the issue has been replaced with a new one: how would does GNU social's network of trust work? When a spammer starts or occupies a GNU social, what is required to prevent my host GNU social from suffering? How would a new user from a centralized social network know which GNU social is the right one to start with?

I have not read enough about how GNU social works and hope to find out how/if this issue can be resolved.

This journal article is not yet peer-reviewed. I'm submitting this to HN, so that the community here and read it and contribute to peer reviewing it.
At first I found this fascinating -- "data shows that CEOs marry assistants" is a good narrative about gender attitudes towards marrying. But as I played with it, I was kind of bummed to learn: most male professions tend to marry assistants, since there are a lot of married female assistants (second only to teachers for females).

I did a quick search for who male Programmers, Executives, and Janitors marry (tried to pick a diverse set), and then filtered out the top five female occupations in this data (Teachers, Assistants, Nurses, Misc Managers, Salespersons). The remaining results were: male Programmers marry female Programmers, male Executives marry female Executives, male Janitors marry female Janitors or female Maids.

So I whipped up a script that, instead of measuring the absolute frequency, normalizes the data set against how often the target occupation gets married to. ie instead of just counting common pairings, it measures "how much more likely is profession X (compared to the general population) to marry profession Y?".

For male CEOs, the result is: they marry other CEOs. Male CEOs are 12x more likely to marry a female CEO than males in other professions are. They are also 12.6x more likely to marry embalmers! 7x more likely to marry Announcers, 5.3x more likely to marry "Dancers and Choreographers", and 4.9x more likely to marry "Public Relations and Fundraising Managers". They are only 1.2x more likely to marry a Secretary than other males are.

For male programmers, it is similar: male programmers are 20x more likely to marry female programmers than other male occupations are. This is because only 0.2% of men marry female computer programmers, but 3.4% of male programmers do. Male programmers also marry female Materials Engineers (20x more likely), Information Security Analysts (13x), "Surveyors, Cartographers, and Photogrammetrists" (10x), and "Architects, Except Naval" (8x).

I also picked one final way of slicing it: "how many more of these marriages did we see than expected" (expected based on the relation frequencies of the two occupations). This is another way of removing "well we would expect a lot of these marriages", but in a way that is less geared towards low-occurrence matches like CEO-Embalmer. For CEOs, the results are: CEOs, Misc Managers, Elementary and Middle School Teachers, Secretaries, Accountants and Auditors. For Programmers, it's: Programmers, Misc Managers, Other Teachers and Instructors, Software Developers, Accountants and Auditors.

Anyway, this isn't to say that these other ways of looking at the data are any "better", they're just answers to different questions.

You have no idea how much your comment means to me!! Thank you so much for your kind words.

You bring up really great points! The first, regarding the use of headers, was something that I did think of, but decided against. One problem I had with the usage of headers was the fact that I felt it's too sharp of a context switch while you read the article. While it does allow for newcomers to quickly glance over the content, I felt that it would be better to prioritize the reader that already took the time to read. I tried to make the concept to concept flow as clean as possible. Instead of headers, I wanted to use the images as a way to naturally delimit the content as you read, without breaking your attention.

I'm definitely not sure that what I chose to do is the best way forward! This is actually the first piece of writing I've really released or had anyone other than myself read.

Regarding the second, it was definitely brought up to me it would be interesting to bring more detailed comparisons into the mix! I did a little bit of it with the mention of rogue likes and the Supergiant games. One thing I'm still working on is balancing the content so that it doesn't detract too much from the Cave Story - at the end of the day, the article was meant to be a tribute to the hard work put into the game by its creator, and the amazing qualities of video games.

This was very hastily typed up (I'm actually traveling at the moment), so hopefully my intentions and logic behind the writing makes sense! I definitely plan on thinking more about the points you've brought up to incorporate into my writing in the future, so thank you SO MUCH for the honest feedback!

The crazy part is that this is absolutely a solved problem.

I'm not sure if everyone misses this due to Linus-worship, holding him up as an example of how to run an OSS project (which... he isn't a good one), but most of the engineers flailing around here work with PMs in their day job, whose job it is to do what isn't getting done here.

I'd love to see everyone:

(1) Buy their nearest PM an appreciative beer, thanking them for keeping this off you at your day job.

(2) Recruit somebody with this experience to your project. It's unreasonable to expect that OSS is a developer-only world, when closed-source software doesn't function that way. Changing the culture of OSS to involve PMs when projects hit a significant size and respect their contributions would be excellent.
It's a bit of irony that they are using a GitHub issue in order to discuss this while this won't eventually fit the issue template feature they want to have:

> setup issue templates prescribing what fields are required [...] What versions are you using?

I feel this is can be solved easily by stating something:

> Please, provide version numbers, system details and steps to reproduce if you want us to take a look at your issue.

until GitHub move forward an official solution, but I am only managing small GitHub repos, not with hundreds of contributors so I can't really relate.

5-7 hours. (Full time job)

Depending on side projects add another 1-3 hours to that.

I wouldn't really put a time frame on it. Just think of a project you want to build and work on it when you get the time. I usually end up spending every waking hour on a project until I get a solid base. After that I try to work on it for an hour or two every night.

Cheers!

Not quite what he's looking for. You can add more variety to make a station of music that includes x OR y OR z, but you can't make a station that plays songs with x AND y AND z.

I've run into this as well. You try to make a station that plays piano rock, and Pandora goes "Hey, here's a song that fits! It has: 1) mixed acoustic and electric instrumentation, 2) major key tonality, and 3) mellow rock instrumentation." It won't care that every song you've added to the station was tagged with acoustic rhythm piano, all tags are equal to the matching algorithm.

I agree. Every article like this just makes me hate the current patent system more. What a waste of human resources to document every little business process and generate tons of paperwork just to build up a portfolio to fight off patent trolls. I don't know if a moratorium on new patents is what we need, but something needs to change.
Interesting theoretically, but is there an event in reality that it describes (i.e., is there some empirical data)?

I'm pretty sure it doesn't describe the history of the USSR or the Bolshevik Revolution; that was a brutal dictatorship from the start. I read in one history how Lenin controlled regions by keeping them on the precipice of starvation - anger him and rations would be reduced further. Taxes don't seem like they would be much of an issue to those people.

I've never heard taxes discussed in regard to the USSR; when the government owns everything and provides all goods and income (or close to it) I'm not sure what would be taxed.
Related to this... According to Kip Thorne, this recent discovery alone places an upper bound of maximum mass for a graviton, if it exists and has mass, at no more than 10^-55 grams. Since otherwise the observed waves would have been distorted. It's cool that we are already seeing conclusions drawn from this observation.

I used pandora but never paid for it, was a decent way to find other artists. I was paying for Spotify but I couldn't get "everything" now I pay for Google All Music Access, which I prefer because I get "everything" and I listen to artists I wouldn't expect to find on 'GAMA' (Google All Music Access) due to the nature of their music. I never cared too much for "stations" but I know when I want to discover similar artists, GAMA let's me do the same. My only complaint about GAMA is the long name, which is not really a complaint.

Do any students/newbies actually want to triage issues, or is it just something the old hands thought up and think might work nicely?
> I wonder why more people aren't getting involved to triage the issues instead of looking for a technical solution?

Its the same old Cathedral vs Bazaar argument. These issues existed even in the time of Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds. Linus liked the bazaar style of development accepting patches and fixes from just about anyone, while RMS liked the cathedral style of sticking to a small group of chosen devs. But issues used to get solved despite the lack of github and a lack of a decent bug-tracker in those times! They used to get solved by using a simple mailing list, I think your earlier conclusion is right: its a people problem, not technical that is happening now.
And there is a third which was offline at the time, and 2 more being worked on. This is no the last experiment.
