Not really that close. Bikeshedding is putting focus on something that doesn't matter, but is easy to argue about.

This is taking something that really does matter, but it's too late to change most of it, and putting too much effort into the remainder.
But, it is possible to make distributed systems that are interopable. In that case, the standard, not a system itself is what gains the network effect.

I don't know. Seemed like rent bumped up after the 2008 recession, because a bunch of people foreclosed on their homes and were forced to start renting who otherwise wouldn't. It hasn't really dropped much at all.

As far as I understand, the Fed only has limited control over the interest rates if they want to maintain a functioning economy.

For example, if inflation starts picking up, rates will have to come up to tamper it. Otherwise you get runaway inflation.

If inflation increases in other countries, then the US rate will follow, otherwise our dollar will take a huge hit due to the interest rate/exchange relationship.

The linux journal had a great post on how all these walled gardens as destroying what the internet was.

http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/whats-our-next-fight
Linux has surely advanced, and in some areas clearly won. Not everywhere though. Desktop usage and gaming are still an uphill battle against incumbent monopolists.

I agree with the rest. Decentralization of services and usage of FOSS for them is critical for freedom as well. Consider what a major mess instant messaging still is. Despite all the years of innovation it's a horrible mix of non interoperable walled gardens (unlike e-mail). How can this mess be fixed and "next Facebook" be avoided exactly? Decentralized social networks exist, but they are still in infancy, and making them grow is not trivial.

But of course it goes beyond all that. More importantly, consider advancement of society towards some non too distant technological future. Do we want to see a grim cyberpunk like domination of governments+megacorporations meld which controls everyone's life through access to augmentations and technology of everyday things, or we want to preserve free society while still having advanced technology?
> Can anyone explain to me why copy/paste tools are different between AI/PS?

Because about thirty years ago, someone decided that Photoshop's copy and paste should work one way, and someone working on Illustrator decided they should work another way. They were not even at the same company back then. Now there are people who have those shortcuts carved into their muscle memory, and would holler bloody murder if it was changed. (Or just emit a very loud WTF?!? and hit up the key shortcuts panel to change them back to what they should be.)
It is a percentage of your wage, but they have pretty tight lower and upper bounds on it. Where I'm at in Ohio, it's one-half of your average weekly wage, but also constrained within $118-$435 pre-tax.
Shouldn't it be easier to move tech companies than manufacturing companies?
Yes, that's one of the advantages of doing a low-status activity. The people doing it really want to.

We're seeing a similar shift with programming, too. When one's formative experiences were in the low-status phase, it can be weird and challenging to realize that's not true anymore.

New "must have" apps are always coming out. Snapchat is only 4 years old and took awhile to gain popularity. Tinder is 3 years old and wasn't popular until a couple of years ago. Stupid stories like these will always be written and always pop in a couple new apps that are exceptions but they aren't exceptions. The reason new apps are constantly trending is because people will and do always try new apps.

I think the average non-techie was probably scared off in the past. It was legitimately hard work when podcasting began. And the word still conjures up a geeky pastime, not a serious form of media. But with modern smartphone apps, it's become pretty darn easy - no need to faff with RSS or sync with iTunes on PC. And it's growing fast for that reason, as well as the improved content that comes with the audience.

>Because having a separate set of requirements for every group of customers that changes depending on where they are is a nightmare to manage.. at best.

But they already comply with fingerprinting requirements (and other variations in laws) for other juridictions, like NYC, which requires Ubers to get a special TLC number, and IIRC Houston and San Antonio, where they fingerprint.
Persona driven development and how VTS builds real estate software
A tad premature one thinks and who is the we? Linux has been incubating a monster within its midst that goes by the name Redhat. This is the cathedral that was born in the bazaar with $2 billion in revenues, tight ties to the freedom loving US security industry and wielding massive influence thanks to its the ability to fund developers and projects to get things its way. If your fundamental altruistic principles depend on a commercial organizations goodwill your position is already comprised.

A cathedral is primarily concerned with self preservation and it will be naive to ignore how money drives decisions in the real world. A lot of the freedom that got Linux here and Redhat itself to its billion dollar revenues are now being slowly plucked away to entrench Redhat's continued dominance but this is not Redhat's fault. Any organization that got that big would do the same and it's the open source world's failure to anticipate and account for the disproportionate influence something like this would wield.

Even today most Linux organizations are industry bodies with no voice for the users, and in many circles there is open contempt for users nevermind its their commitment though some pretty dismal software that got you in a position that you can choose to ignore them in the first place. A project without users has no reason to exist.

As for Android how is it Linux? You can't run Linux on your Android phones. The GPU, hardware and drivers is locked down so tightly it makes Microsoft and Intel look like Stallman's soulmate when compared to Arm and its vendor ecosystem. And Google too, Android was designed to work around the GPL. Using Android to beat the Linux drum is galling and self defeating.

What we have is thousands of companies benefiting from Open source to build multiple billion empires. 20 years later there is not a single resource that tell you all the companies using open source and how they support it or give back. There is no transparency, pressure or even the felt need to give back. The newer lot of developers do not seem to even care about GPL though that could just be the audience here. Gloating about winning in the context seems misplaced even if it were true. It was never about winning but about choice.
I don't want a chat app to be an operating system. I prefer to have things separated, since that makes them easier to manage(for me). I spent some time performing a penetration test against a service that would hook into WeChat, and found the security atrocious. I wouldn't touch anything related to WeChat so long as I can help it. Haha, this is sort of like the modern-day Emacs.
Just because you follow orders from higher up doesn't mean that you are exempt from the law or don't need to do your own moral judgements.
Makes sense from a bounded rationality point of view. We want to be as selfish as possible while escaping punishment and social ostracism; this requires modeling whether others will learn of selfishness, what the punishment will be, what the payoff will be, and so on. This is not necessarily quick or easy, so given the asymmetry in payoffs, it is reasonable to default to cooperation unless the additional thinking indicates that this is a safe time to defect.

(Or to put it another way: is it more reproductively fit to occasionally lie? Absolutely. But if you're going to lie, you need to be careful about it. So if someone surprises you with a sudden demand or question and expects an instant response, the safest answer on average will be the truth.)

Yes part of it is certainly hidden information, but for me luck is about how well the hidden information winds up helping you. The "ether around us that makes lucky people lucky" is a bit of a tautological definition of luck, really not sure what you mean by this. For me luck is when the variables you cannot control for work out in your favor. In physics we have what is known as the "look elsewhere effect", which is the phenomenon that if you look for new physics in many different places you are likely to find anomalies that look like new physics just due to chance. In the startup world this is roughly equivalent to saying that a startup's success was due to exceptional early founders or an exceptional idea only after that company has been successful.

Here is an example - the article says to focus on building something people want. Well how do you know you have built something people want enough to pay for before they buy it? You can't really know, which is why VCs fund a lot of companies for cheap and try to see who is lucky enough to actually be building something people want.

The conclusion of the article says that if you follow these steps you will be the master of your own fate, but this conclusion is disingenuous. It is based on looking backwards rather than forwards - all companies that succeed have made something people want and quickly increased their revenue, so all you have to do to succeed is make something people want and grow! Good luck.
Can't help wondering... Will the next major version be macOS 1.0?

> can import systemd's unit files

That's actually pretty neat. I don't have any real complaints about systemd, but every alternative I've looked at is more painful to use for service management. No longer having to hack together init scripts has been wonderful for me, it took a 10 line unit file to get YouTrack configured as a proper service on my CentOS 7 VM - I used to run JetBrains teamware products on Windows just because dealing with custom init scripts was such a pain in the ass.
Something like Jabber that everyone can adopt. With multiple open source clients like Pidgin, adding support to those clients would be a huge first step, then adding support for open source IM clients for mobile would also increase the range for something like Matrix or Jabber. Maybe a new player will come into town. It would be nice to be able to host an email server on a $5 a month DigitalOcean server, I can host IRC, and Mumble, alongside PHP and MySQL powered websites on DO for that amount, but a mail server is too much apparently.

I've been using Vector for Android the last days and I must say I am VERY impressed. Both the vector.im web interface and the smartphone apps are looking polished at a level that I'm very unused to when it comes to open source projects.

I must say though that people are becoming more and more unfamiliar with decentralization. Naming the standard one thing (Matrix) and the main phone app another (Vector) is IMHO a move that only a technologist would come up with. The logic might seem crystal clear to all you working on the project. But if you want traction (hell, you could actually be a serious alternative to Slack!) you should've register something like matrix.im and named the app Matrix.

Why we need paid family leave in the U.S
I am not defending communism. I think it is doomed because it ignores human nature just as some other isms do. However that doesn't mean that those who disagree with me would necessarily do it in one of the ways it has been tried so far.

I also don't think words mean the same thing to all people. As someone who spent his youth in a socialist country I can assure you Bernie Sanders idea of socialism is very different to what "we" thought it was or what other socialist countries were trying.

And that's really more or less my point. Left-wing doesn't really say much by itself without more information. There is no belief that would be shared by everyone who either describes themselves as left-wing or is described as such. Same for right-wing.
Perhaps macOS 11.0 is coming this fall.
He made it clear, though, that it wasn't just his stakeholders' money he was worried about - it was investing his own valuable time and energy in a problem he believed to be fundamentally unconquerable. That, to me, is a far better reason to not go forward.

I think it would also be nice to have a general interface portal for 1099-economy gigs so you can list (and document) all your qualifications and you see results from Uber, Taskrabbit, Doordash, etc that you're qualified for.

XMPP already exists. It's an IETF standard even. But how can the lock-in mentality be worked around exactly?

I totally agree, but despite this, I still think desktops' general-population relevance is declining. I also think that laptops unfortunately are trending toward less freedom as compared to desktops.

First of all: kudos for starting a project based on books! (I love books and anything to do with them, we need more of this...)

How I find my next book to read? Mostly chance. For example, I regularly visit local bookshops for a browse, and if anything especially catches my fancy, I'll buy it (usually after having read the first quarter of it in the shop). As a student my budget for "luxury goods" isn't phenomenally large, but I do make a point of buying one or two new books a month. Buying a book after a friend's recommendation is rare but not unheard-of. Sometimes reading a review (of the professional, printed in a published magazine type - NOT online user reviews) will also tempt me to buy.

Hope that helps :-)
I personally know at least a dozen Linux kernel contributors. Some of them are among the most competent, prolific and enthusiastic developers out there who would code until their fingertips bleed. Most work or worked at the usual suspects, yes, including Oracle.

It's the first time however I hear anyone claiming as much credit. Oracle didn't even start dabbling with Linux until 21st century, and it was already a decade old project dominating Internet server deployments at that point.

True, and outside of SF you can find studios for under $2k, but unemployment won't additionally cover any living expenses beyond basically base rent.

If times were super hard, you could possibly find a room to rent for $1200 if you get really lucky, $1400-$1600 if not, then try hard to make that remaining $200-$600 cover the rest of your expenses, and good luck if you're not just single, young, able-bodied, and able to find another job in a few months.
More broadly, they were fined because of the European and especially French culture of the left wing where a business generally owns their customers and an employee owns his job. How dare you liberate these consumers by offering them a choice? They are OURS. Doubly so because Uber is so terribly un-French. We will have our friends in the government protect ourselves from this theft.

Mind you, it's not as bad as, say, the teachers in Mexico who can sell their job to someone else, but... it has an impact on the economy, and it's a major reason youth unemployment is so high (and a contributing factor to why immigrant communities can't integrate, which is a contributing factor to the security situation over there...)

I can totally relate to some of this.

If you take a look at Meeker's 2016 Internet trends report that came out last week, you will see that 3 apps dominate 80% of the usage on phones. I decided when I started my food side project a year back, that I was not going to do a native app.

I have been trying to make the front end look better, but I did not want to use very heavy frameworks, so I settled on using the SASS mixin library Bourbon.io along with the grid and a few others the company provides.

The css that is produces is very tight, and I can save on developer costs. I should say, save on finding another front end developer as the one I was using took some money and ran.
Wow, this looks awesome. The ad for UberRUSH is one of the best I've ever seen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRu6M9sCfmo.

I've actually been thinking of starting a similar venture in Tunisia. Over here, there is simply no straightforward way to deliver packages within a city. Obviously I don't have the platform Uber has, so I'm thinking of building both at the same time, but with a focus on package delivery for individuals or small businesses.

What I'm worried about the most is package insurance. How is this usually done? Do I need to setup a policy with an insurance company? Or can I just mention in the ToS something like "we are not responsible for the condition of the received package"?

Any input on this or any other potential hurdles would be appreciated.
