Product Hunt's problem is that even though a less exclusive/biased system would create more value for users, such a system wouldn't allow PH to capture much, if any, of that value for themselves. By enabling biases in their listings, they're able to shift some of that value from the users over to themselves. It's good for the companies that get more attention than they deserve, and most consumers won't find out due to information asymmetry and apathy.

It's the same reason why you can't trust Yelp reviews - they needed to generate revenue somehow, and the only real option was to offer to hide negative reviews in return for money.

Oh, I'm well aware - my family tree traces back to an indentured servant that bailed on his master before his term was up and ran away from the Massachusetts Bay Colony to live in the wilds of Vermont.

And some of the first Africans were brought to the colonies under terms of indentured servitude, and became free the same as the poor whites after some years.
Exactly what are those principles?

Mine are to avoid enacting barriers to having my code used on systems where failures mean people could die. The GPL is not an ideal license for that, but there are worse licenses. One example of why the GPL is not an ideal license for that is that US federal law prohibits the GPLv3 in automobiles because it mandates tivoization. If choices are between good code under the GPLv3 and bad code under a license the law permits, the bad code is used and then we get things like Toyota vehicles' drive by wire being able to live up to the saying, "Always moving forward". In this example, this also affects people outside the US whenever the engineering is reused and I doubt any automaker would design 1 drive by wire for the US and another for everyone else using GPL code that is well known to be superior to their embedded garbage. This is far from the only example and not all examples involve federal law. However, if you write something good that could have a mission critical application, it is good enough that the alternative code is more likely to kill people and your principles are to exclude anyone who does not do exactly what you want them to do with it, you can have your principles, but people might die as a result. If deaths occur and those dying from it include the principled person who could have saved them, having those principles would be what killed that person. Having the developer die too in such situations is improbable, but it is something I consider when I ask myself "what do I want a software license to do?".

They say an artist is never appreciated until they die, but I believe Harper Lee was one of the most rightfully appreciated authors of our time. Most of us have read To Kill a Mockingbird, at least, and for those of us who did, it was a powerful indictment of America's eternal and original sin of race and exploitation. A book or a death changes little in a broad cultural context, but it serves to remind us how we can and should all be better to each other. Rest in peace.
Thanks, that makes sense. I guess that's why flat income tax rates are considered "unfair" since they are modeled on a linear expectation of utility.
We have been using calico Cni with kubernetes with quite some success.
It's a solution that assigns ips and then sets up bgp routing between your docker/kubernetes nodes. It makes it very easy to trace what's happening. Not as easy as a flat lan but still pretty easy.

Netstat -rn and you can see where the traffic is going or coming from. The added benefit is you can then bgp peer with other clusters and get routing across them

I thought best practice these days, at least for REST, was a 308 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7238), since 301 has the bizarre behavior of being converted to a GET by some UAs (which conflate it with 303), enshrined for hysterical raisins. Is this not the case?
I don't think you understood what he meant. AFAICT he said that there is not that big fragmentation considering how big community is - and not that everyone should use different OS. Maybe people do care less about OS choice than car choice but that doesn't mean it is less important.

Btw, people from almost any domain represent small minority compared to seven billion people.
HNA Group Acquires Ingram Micro for $6B
> India has absolute poverty which is a totally different problem.

Good point, but it doesn't change my argument; your conveniences are made possible by the higher poverty / lower income of service providers.

> If you want to claim that less employment and lower production is a good thing, go ahead.

Do you believe that lowering standards of living by eliminating minimum wage is a good thing, because it "increases employment and production"?

For example: Mumbai's trash and recycling ecosystem is largely driven by a complex economy of ragpickers, sorters, and tiny recycling factories based in informal settlements (Dharavi, etc). Last time I checked (Summer 2014), the ragpickers are paid 5rs per kg, and on average collect about 10kg a day, making that around 50rs, $0.75, or 48% the cost of a Big Mac (or its equivalent, the Maharaja Mac) in India.

Would you really agree that someone who works all day to make 50% of a Big Mac be an ideal model of employment and societal economic policy, because they're working and thus raising employment and production?

Because that's what you're asking for if you're claiming that we need to stop a "labor shortage" in order to provide more low-cost conveniences.
This is awesome. Thank you!

H. Clinton has a very good record on defending her own privacy. Thus, I find it hard to believe that her record in terms of the privacy of the public stems from ignorance or misunderstanding. She ran her own secured, private e-mail server while serving as a major public official, after all, whether the technical details were delegated to underlings or not.

I very much doubt that any establishment-backed candidates in either of the establishment parties would be willing to make any public statements directly applicable to privacy. They are far more likely to come in soft from the other side, and chat up "tools to combat terrorism and other forms of extremism," while eliding over the implication that organized domestic protest groups like Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wherever, or "Y'All-Qaeda" militiamen would also be targeted, in addition to overseas groups.

I sure hope the Sourcetree team is listening, too. The new UI design in Sourcetree Windows 1.8 is absurd. Currently 50 comments in https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREEWIN-4306, all negative, and at least 15 duplicate issues. Mind-boggling that the design team would think that this was a good idea, particularly after MS got hammered for removing all the color from Visual Studio.

And since I immediately reverted back to 1.6, I didn't even realize that people were seeing other issues with performance, or that the new account management was a pain.

I'll share a technique I stumbled upon years ago that helps me tremendously whenever I feel stressed, e.g., to meet some gig deadline....no link, but it only takes a few minutes...

Just sit and focus on letting your lower jaw hang open for, say 5 minutes ...all the slack you can get...I think you'll find it's very hard to worry, or think about much anything else while consciously doing this...

It's very typical for the average person to go through the day with their jaw at least lightly clenched...more tightly when under stress...

Try it..consider it open source...

To increase the benefit breathe in deeply and force yourself to exhale for twice the amount of time it took you to breathe in...or, do this separately...

I would argue that your statement is only true as long as the URL in question is owned by the application that sent the 301 in the first place. If a different application now owns the URL, then it violates least astonishment for the URL to be redirect when, from it's perspective, the redirect was never sent.

At the least, a redirect should not be permanent across name server changes (when the domain changes hands). Unfortunately, this would effectively be adding state to HTTP.

> Until last year, Lee had been something of a one-book literary wonder. To Kill a Mockingbird, her 1961 epic narrative about small-town lawyer Atticus Finch’s battle to save the life of a black resident threatened by a racist mob, sold more than 40 million copies around the world and earned her a Pulitzer prize.

That book by the "one-book literary wonder" was unforgettable for many things, including the fact that it was one of the first books I read twice. I'd say that that one work that stood strong for decades across generations should probably not be used to diminish the author using terms like "one-book wonder".

If you can't handle LoC/CC (and you obviously can't if you've collected so many debts that you struggle to manage them), it makes sense to pay off and close small ones. Because the risk you will run up those lines is worse than the sub-optimally paying off total debt.

I.e. For many, five loans with $1000 avail credit will become $5000 more debt. Better to make that four (or three, or one) loan, even if remaining loans have higher interest rate.

Not at all. That particular project uses https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chrome-app-samples/tree/mast... in Chome. It is a server, and it runs in Chrome. I've made an extension that works as an API so that external clients can connect to it to access the DOM and change parts of a webpage.

It'd be stupid, but there's no reason why you couldn't use a system like that, running in Chrome, listening on an IP address, to do pretty much anything a "real" server does. The user wouldn't know. It's just a server, or "the cloud".

Which is why there aren't travel posters for those journeys in that era.

I agree. But my point is twofold. One, these journeys will never be possible in that way. (The energy requirements alone for that kind of fast travel is an insurmountable barrier, just due to the square term in .5mv^2, and anything of non-negligible mass that is moving that fast is an interplanetary doomsday weapon.) Two, these pieces draw a false parallel between the romance of steamer travel or early train/air travel and the harsh realities of space travel.

And, to forestall a cliche by doubling down, I'm siding with the people who say "it will never happen."

By not paying their writers, they have created an environment in which ideologically driven and intellectually depleted content thrives. Is that a bad thing? Other outlets within the same market have been dumbing down their content and churning fact-free and tact-free copy. Unfortunately, I have not been paying attention to English-speaking media for long enough to know if this is a trend, if it ever was otherwise. (Except for the budget cuts—newspapers certainly do remember more lavish days.) If bad journalists are willing to work for free, why pay good journalists to be bad?

I believe the claims are along the lines that the core of the Nvidia blob is actually the Windows driver, which is then not a derived work of Linux. They do provide the source for the bit that adapts between the Linux kernel and their blob.

If you are being most charitable, you could consider this like NDISWrapper which doesn't make the driver used become part of the kernel from a license point of view. The least charitable is that Nvidia are circumventing / violating the kernel GPL by their stunt.

Ultimately it would likely take some lawyers, time and money to get a strong decision, which no one seems willing to do, yet.

You clearly didn't read what I wrote.

First, Go doesn't have any concept of "releasing". "go get" just (1) just grabs the latest HEAD from whatever repo you're using, and (2) follows import paths. It doesn't even use release tags.

So the "build times are affected by unused imports in dependencies" problem only exists as a hypothetical issue because "go get" implicitly trusts dependencies' import statements.

Other package systems don't do this. They (RubyGems and NPM are good examples) require that you build a release that you then publish. Included in such a release is a dependency manifest (Gemfile.lock, npm-shrinkwrap.json) that the package manager can read.

The more natural solution is to generate a dependency manifest at release time that only includes valid imports, and refuse to release something that contains unused imports.

The build time issue only exists locally if you run a monorepo like Google's, and in that case it's my opinion that, just like code linting, this is your own concern, not something to pollute an entire developer ecosystem with.
