It's a few things.

One of the simplest reasons is as you identified, it's easier to get smaller donations from multiple people than it is to get one large donation from a single company (although we do have large donations too ranging from 30,000/month and going downwards from there-- for all the PSF infra not just PyPI).

Another part of that is a lot of this has grown organically over time and we sought out donations from different providers based on our need at the time.

In addition, I can't think of a single company that actually provides everything we need except for maybe Amazon/AWS.

On top of all of that the more we centralize our donations onto a single company, the more important a single company becomes to PyPI and the larger the amount of Risk we take on is. It would be a lot harder to find a replacement for all of the things we need all at once than it would be to find a replacement for just a single service.

All in all, managing these accounts is not particularly hard (though in some part that's likely because the set of people who has access to any of one of these is pretty static). Most of them provide some sort of standardize API access that doesn't really change based on who is providing said thing (in general, we attempt to rely as much as possible on "Hosted X" where X is some OSS thing we could possibly run ourselves or switch to someone else's "Hosted X" if need be. It's not mandatory but the harder it would be to switch the more we factor that into our decision (for instance, our use of S3 is pretty simple so we don't worry about their proprietary API because it wouldn't be difficult to modify the code to do it differently).
It's probably hard to buy a billion dollars of any stock without driving the price up, even if you spread purchases out.
I'd argue that the issue isn't in the broad "behaviours" you're talking about - it's in your body language. Attractive people, overall, are unlikely to worry about whether any single interaction is going to go well - and when they are focused on it going well, they can and do come across as creepy.

People who are less attractive are possibly more likely to attempt to emulate those broad behaviours, but with much more invested in whether any interaction goes well. This comes out really obviously in body language and people don't like that - I owe you nothing, and you're acting like I do.

Attractive, in both sentences above, does not solely mean "physically attractive". Additionally, I don't participate in the hookup scene, and it's possibly very likely that physical attractiveness is much more necessary there than in dating.
Win32 API is the most horrendous collection of badly named, nonsensical types and functions I've ever encountered in my career.

Back in the mid 90s I was learning how to program and understanding a Win32 "Hello world" was a royal pain compared to everything else I was doing. Functions with more than 8 parameters were the norm, structs with tens of members had to be manually initialised before calling them. And don't get me started on the WPARAM/LPARAM idiocy.

ETW isn't supposed to be written like this at all. MS has entire codegen toolchain that lets you define events in an xml manifest as part of your build process. This codegens a C header file which lets you fire events in your own code with a simple function call.

When you want to correlate events from your own code and OS events you use a tool like XPerf which knows the OS events and can read your application manifest to get strong typing on the events your application fires. This also lets you take traces on deployed software on customer machines.

If you want to roll your own event consumers you can do that too. But XPerf probably already does what you want.

This all existed back in like 2010 when I was using ETW. I'm sure the tooling has only gotten better since then. So yeah you can go write your own bad incomplete version of XPerf and not leverage your existing build process and MS tooling. But then is the API really bad? Or are you just not googling correctly?

True, but pot isn't making people do that. It's even more dangerous if people completely stop completely, or reverse, at night, on a curved stretch of highway with a 75mph speed limit, but pot isn't making people do that either.

I don't even think that pot makes people drive slowly. IMO it's a result of stoned people being afraid of giving the police any excuse to pull them over.

Right now, there is none. Obviously the measurable amount isn't reliable - but that has been known to general users for years. And so much of it is personal - a person going out on the weekend and smoking a lot (much like drinking most weekends or occasionally) is going to be really impaired. A regular smoker, who keeps a slight buzz and gets used to it would have very little effect most times. People around them don't have a clue.

I honestly think the best solution would be to regulate the current traffic laws better - including things such as speed limits, yeilding to pedestrians, keeping distance ahead of you (don't know if that is a law) and other things. Not only is this going to help catch people too impaired to be driving, but folks that are simply not paying attention to the road and trying to multi-task while driving.

I wonder how much slower. Are there any measurements out there? Of a CPU correctly predicting the branches of all "happy path" error code checks and seeing how much overhead that is?
The Chief Evangelist Is the New Brand Ambassador
I could see something like an augmented reality setup for a driver where fake pedestrians wander into the road ahead of you and if you don't slow down in time you are warned / flagged as impaired / ignition shuts down. Passes the specificity test, for sure - which something like a reflex test to turn the ignition switch does not.

The problem is that it's way too invasive for people to sign up for it voluntarily - not to mention you'd cause a bunch of sudden stops for no reason and maybe create more accidents than you prevent.
That's how it should work but even --standalone still inspects your web server config and will refuse to run if any part of that goes wrong. For example, if you have multiple Apache VirtualHosts in the same file[1] (e.g. a port 80 redirect to the HTTPS site in the same file) any attempt to renew a certificate will fail with an error.

Finland also has really low population density. Yet I'm enjoying 20€/month unlimited 50mbps data and some minutes and sms (never ran out).

You don't need --standalone to get only certificate files, by the way. You can also use certonly with --webroot and it'll work just fine. The certonly is the key part.

One thing I hope they make a little clearer is how to delegate cipher suite selection to certbot. I saw some discussion about making options-ssl-nginx.conf use, say, one of Mozilla's server-side configurations (whichever one you've configured). That way you could include options-ssl-nginx.conf and it'd auto-update over time.
The great "Advocating Against Android Fragments" post on the Square Corner blog by Pierre-Yves Ricau highlights how horrible the Android lifecycle is.

Also, if you are doing any substantial Android development, you are bound to run into many issues (say, for instance, it's horrible soft keyboard management system). Hackborn can be found on many of these issues trashing developers asking those questions.

To be fair, so do "real" companies like Tesla, which like to use alternate accounting systems to report profitability while being unprofitable in accordance with GAAP. I like to think that investors who actually do their homework can see through the nonsense in both cases.

People with better reflexes might drive less conservatively due to their reflexes, and may continue to do so even while impaired.
The API is still bad, it seems to have been badly designed regardless of whether the intended consumers are external developers or internal code
And here I was thinking "what a great time to buy Apple stock".

I don't think Buffet is betting on technology. From his perspective he is betting on the car and car brand of the future.
In the article, Ichan noted, "if China was basically steady I would probably go back into [Apple]...I hope one day to get back into [Apple]."

That's not a huge indictment of apple, but rather a concern.

He did note that Apple still looked cheap: http://www.cnbc.com/2016/04/28/icahn-we-no-longer-have-a-pos....

It's hard to read too much into it. For all we know, Ichan wants to play things a little conservative for the rest of 2016 due to big losses in his oil investments.
I strongly disagree. I was definitely not a recent graduate. They sent me a detailed study guide before the interview with all the basic CS fundamentals they might reasonably ask you about. I think it's more of a filter at determining people who want the job and are willing to study for it than testing for recent graduation. It didn't take me that much studying for all of the CS-y stuff to come back, but the programming skill I've accumulated over a career is harder to fake. A lot of fresh grads aren't that great at coding yet, and it shows in interviews.
I love walking, but this article really bothers me, so I'm going to get a little sarcastic. Am I the only one who finds this entire article incredibly ironic? The author is trying to defend "purposeless" walking, but which is actually very purposeful! The loss of 'purposeless' walking is seen by the author as a loss of Creative Thinking. We're so busy with other smaller tasks, we're not setting aside enough time (like we used too, in the good ol' days) to think up all our really valuable thoughts! It would be one thing if they highlighted the relaxation, health benefits, de-stressing, etc., of walking, but that is clearly not the point: rattling off a list of Great Minds, and their Great Achievements whom we would benefit from emulating. The point of the article clearly is not to get people to take more breaks or curb their their obsession with work. Really it's a sneaky backdoor lifehack sermon: you're not good enough or creative enough, and you should pencil in some mindful unstructured time into their schedule to boost your Really Important thinking output by 10-15%.
> You've set up a strawman. There is no requirement that for a union to behave the way you suggest anywhere that I'm aware of. A union will generally be expected to provide certain protections, but there's a vast gap from having nobody to help you to reasonable representation is provided to even your positions vs. your employer to making the worst employees near impossible to fire.

Why do most/all Unions in the US end up this way? I am not sure you can say something is a straw man when literally most unions in a country act the same way. A straw man would be if I simply chose 1 union at random, like the Chicago Teachers Union. But choose more, look at the UAW or your local town teachers union. Seems pretty common.

Take any company that once rode atop a huge market and then suffered through declines as that market changed and you could filter back through the history of their decision making and say the exact same thing Gassee is saying here about Intel. So I'm not sure what point he is trying to make when he says their "culture ate 12,000 jobs." Does he mean their culture of focusing on the market they were currently very successful in, and their culture of not seeing huge paradigm shifts happening just under the surface of it? I suspect he just had a dull axe, and decided the time was finally ripe to sharpen it.
That isn't what the article was saying.

I do find it a bit unfair to compare daily smokers to functional alcoholics, however - there is a definite difference in the way the drugs affect folks. This was the main point of the article. A slight buzz like that of a daily smoker - or someone using for medical reasons - isn't affecting safety, but going more than that and it should be obvious. Be safe and all that.

Besides. Part of the issue is that public transportation lacking in a lot of parts of the country. Some folks just don't have options, even things like Uber, and if you live just slightly out of the way, such things wind up costing even more money. If you are drunk, you can get arrested in some places (indiana) for walking home - instant public intoxication charge. Still more places don't have safe options to walk or ride bikes if you are impared. These things need fixed to be able to do what you are encouraging.

> Either come up with an objective standard for merit that unions and management can agree on or go for the closest objective approximation - seniority and accept that some incompetent people are going to take a paycheck (the horror!).

But better people deserve more pay, not just older people. If that is the only argument, I would argue to just get rid of unions.

The keyword here is "impaired." It doesn't just have to involve drugs, being exhausted and attempting to drive is also very dangerous. Not just for you, but for everyone else on/near the road.
you didn't accidentally euthanize your father. The nurse purposefully did, and she was covering her butt by involving you. You were an unaware observer (Sorry). She knew what was the humane thing to do, and she knew you were not up to it, and so she assumed responsibility.

This. It's almost all this. Even worse, these politicians and bureaucrats are later nominated by the machine for higher office. Where they try to screw things up on a grander scale (and only face opposition on the federal level).

It's also not safe to drive while tired, on any medication at all (including over the counter drugs), while texting, while on the phone, while not looking at the road, with glasses (they could fall off and you'd be blind), with a heart condition, etc etc.

I think it's safe to assume you drive very often with things that affect your driving. If pot is proven to not affect your driving to a measurable degree, then the only thing that is different between that and random over the counter medication is one is called pot.
A good looking project. Not sure if small Rails technical tutorials are likely to garner significant interest among Hacker News readers. Curious if there is a roadmap for covering other topics.
How do you figure out what is normal for that person, though? Or what is normal to society? How do we set up a test that is fair to most folks? Can we rely on police training to be able to make accomidations (quickly) for those that are disabled, etc?
The options aren't just returning it or stealing it, they can simply leave it where it is to avoid the hassle of having to return it. Hence why having a custom of paying a reward might be beneficial for wallet losers in general.
Or maybe the investors are part of the problem.
I have a 35 minute walking commute in Boston, through the public gardens, which can be very beautiful. While it's not aimless, it does seem to have offer of the benefits that I get from aimless walking, which I also do fairly often. A walking commute I see as my biggest job perk.

I'm always saddened to see so many people talking on their cell phones on my commute, especially in the public garden. It seems they either have no appreciation for walking or, worse, they're afraid to be alone with themselves.

Maybe it's not about not understanding tech per se, but about not understanding the company.

If they feel like they understand how Apple works by now, that would make it qualify as not not-understanding, and thus it would not break the "rule".

Apple is a tech company but in the eyes of Berkshire maybe they are predictable enough regardless of what they produce (i.e. in terms of their cash flow, product strategy, etc).

This means nothing. The big difference between alcohol and other drugs is that there is a relatively straightforward correlation between the amount of alcohol in the bloodstream and the current effect of alcohol on the brain.

Somebody testing positive for marijuana may not be stoned at all. It could be they were stoned last week and tested positive.

Furthermore, alcohol testing is much easier and is the only type of testing really done by police in the field. Police will try to get you to admit being impaired by other drugs if they stop you, but they do not have anything like the breathalyzer to test for other drugs.

Current data comparing driving impairment of various drugs and alcohol is almost entirely an artifact of the difference in testing methods.

I agree completely.

I'm a part of a different project on Ethereum (Augur) and we went out of our way to simplify everything so that anyone, regardless of sophistication can understand. We had the first big crowdsale on the platform and did quite well in a very bear market, I credit much of that to simplifying the idea as much as possible.

This is a huge problem with Ethereum projects as there are so many cool ideas but they are so developer-centric that they lose anyone with unnecessary big words and weird language.

With all that said, the DAO seems to be a very cool project and has found a huge level of success with this major flaw, which says something. I just wonder what they could be doing if the message was something that could be figured out by a newbie in under 3 minutes.
You can distort the data all you want, or in this case, put it in an absurd context to try and prove a point, but the fact remains - the legalization of marijuana is not without negative consequences.

> The obvious straw man here is "well at-will means you can be fired for anything, so if you wear yellow shoes and your boss doesn't like yellow he can fire you," which just never happens.

I feel like you set up a straw man that supports your point rather than the opposing point. How about this: A company's owners resent paying for health insurance but know that they have to do it to attract employees. To lower health insurance costs, they invent infractions to fire women and anyone age 50 or older.

Or a startup example: A company offers low pay and generous stock options that vest after 5 years of employment. Then they fire 90% of the employees in their fourth year.

Do you have any features planned to differentiate it for that niche? I'm asking because all the people I know who use Gyazo are precisely makers/developers/designers. I know that it's sometimes possible to carve out a business despite competition by having a simpler product focused for a specific niche and communicating using that demographic's language - I just wonder if that's realistic here. The Gyazo-users I know seem to use most of its features - e.g. a designer would both use it to share inspiration with other designers or capturing and sharing a small gif of a part of an application to easily showcase a bug to a developer.
