No, don't do that:

- supportedsource.org requires you to put your code under proprietary license, which is bad because it's not open-source (If someone wants to fix a bug in your software, they can't do it).

- It is absolutely possible to sell open-source software: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html

- The drawback is, people can put your software for free on BitTorrent.

- But companies will pay you because they want the original, genuine copy. They don't want to risk getting an unofficial fork where someone might have introduced a keylogger, and a lot of engineers actually prefer to retribute authors for their software. They actually pay the service that someone has code-reviewed what was merged into the software they get.

- If that's not enough for you, you can put a lock in your code and distribute the binary packages for a price. Yes people can remove the lock, but most companies aren't willing to recompile or even look at the code, and they'll pay. Plus, those that are willing to recompile already have their hands dirty, so they're twice closer to submitting improvements to your code ;) which is the meaning of "open-source".

In conclusion, don't use supportedsource.org, and just sell the packaged copies of your software.
While that model does help those who are developing libraries, it doesn't address the problems presented by open source applications.
There's plenty of open source applications for which the charge-for-support and dual-licensing models don't create enough funds to assist development.
How come you were considered an insider ? In my experience that's C*O level.
Among other things, it gets used up, it may become too fine to cut the kerf at that IPM, it may also have impurities, etc.

Depending on the abrasive, it's theoretically reusable, but that would be very hard to quality control (even assuming you separate it effectively from the material).

This is one reason waterjets often get used only when other ways of cutting are not effective.

Also note: for things like wood, you can probably water jet them without abrasive.
One working hypothesis is that he doesn't seem to really know what he believes - he's just in it for the sheer ego rush (as were probably many who pulled the lever for him), and will let his advisors and appointees take up the matter of implementing actual working policy.

The scary part is that most of these people (Thiel, Pence, Gingrich, Bolton, etc) know perfectly well what they believe, and have been licking their chops at an opportunity gram the reigns of power, and execute on these beliefs at scale.

That's where the damage is going to come from.
Also worth mentioning: hours upon hours of free, unedited broadcast of raw campaign rally footage and stump speeches.
1) Make an argument. This isn’t one.

2) Why suggest a prompt that doesn’t give the user an understanding of what they are being asked and why it matters?
I work remotely on retainer for a company I worked for when I lived back in Oakland. I work 24/7 pager duty effectively. A lot of times I'll be summoned after working 8-10 hours to just look things up for an important client or confirm sales numbers (which always are correct). I work ~9AM-6PM EST hours but folks at the company generally work 12PM-8PM PST so there's really no good way to plan around those sort of support calls.

It wasn't always this way though. The company used to have other developers but they never replaced them when they left. The business unit I work under switched to a maintenance mode effectively where we're just upgrading existing systems for CVEs, supporting the AWS setup, and dealing with important client requests when they rarely come in.

I'd push for more money but there just isn't the budget for it and they've made it clear to me. I even had to fight to stay full time as they wanted me to work less days but be on call still, "we need to figure out the best way to utilize our resources" (paraphrased).

I will say it's detrimental to my health. I wake up most mornings and immediately grab my phone out of fear I missed an alert in the night. That whole bit about utilizing their resources hasn't been sitting well with me though so I'll probably move on after I finish the extra documentation of our systems they're now pushing for.

Just putting a counter point to the people saying, "You signed up for this, you should know what you were doing." It's not always that simple. I have a family now and can't just pick up and change everything at a whim.

I'll also say I get nervous going into movie theaters, etc. where I'll be disconnected for a few hours. It's just not a healthy situation at all.

Apart from the content of this research, to me, this method of publishing is the future : here, in one github repo, you can find the paper and the code such that you can perform the experiments done in the research yourself. Well done!
Another thing to consider is if you're ever going to sell it.

In my case I had a small project that I just claimed on my personal tax returns. I sold it to another Canadian company, and if it was done as a share sale it qualified under the capital gains exemption.

It was a fairly costly matter to retroactively separate the project and IP into its own company. The bulk of my lawyer and accountant fees were on this.

I've been doing the same for a while. SaaS with most customers in the US, but the corporation is in Canada. The only hassle is that 10% of credit card charges fail because banks may block international transactions. So we have to tell clients to call their banks, etc. Not perfect, but better than dealing with cross-border taxes.
> Short answer: yes. We are a democratic republic but most people think of us as a direct democracy.

Can someone point me out as why Americans differentiate republic from direct democracy? I reckon than in most of the world these words don't mean opposites. Republic means just "not a monarchy/aristocracy" where I live, and I reckon in most of the world.

(This is a genuine question, maybe there is a reason for the American usage of the term)
You Don’t Need a Master Plan – You Just Need to Start
I see, I did misinterpret your point somewhat. The situation is still relevant to individual would be claimants, though. Even though Egypt and Sudan don't want to claim the region I don't think they're too keen on random third parties staking a claim either. You'd be surrounded unfriendly governments.

As the law currently stands, you can now be deported, and your 2-year old would become a ward of the state, with the usual probabilities of success of those programs. There is a proposal to allow you to stay in the country to raise the kid, DAPA. Trump has said he will strike that down.
>Eg: This is not about you breaking the law; it's about whether your children can be held accountable for it.

Out of interest, would you feel differently if the parents involved were convicted of a non-immigration crime and were sent to prison instead of being deported?
FBI Says Alleged Hackers Used FIFA to Steal Millions from EA
No, but I have not seen anyone try either in a long time, not since Emacs source code used to cost 100 dollars. There are companies like Red Hat which charge you money for access to their repos, but I suppose you would argue that they're charging for building the binaries too.

Everyone nowadays just puts up all of their source code online without asking money for it. Nobody even tries to sell it. I also think perhaps buying software in general is becoming a bit of an outdated idea. Everyone wants to sell subscriptions now.

Don't worry, you're doing fine.

There are a multitude of political opinions out there (which does not mean they are bad ideas), and a large number of people who like to criticize others based on this because they get to feel superior. Such people also think that everything (including the personal) is political and make no distinction between the intentional and unintentional.

It's wise to just ignore them when the criticism is tangential. One only has finite mental bandwidth for these things, there is no way to cover the full combinatorial explosion of things that _could_ be interpreted as offensive.
The Zoo Hypothesis
> There are many reasons this is true, but the biggest one for me is that your finger obscures things on the display when you use it, and there is often very poor or no tactile feedback.

This is a poor argument against touch interfaces on laptops/desktops. This argument applies 100% to every touch interface, and yet we use touch interfaces for phones, and tablets, and modern point-of-sale systems, and the decent car navigation systems, etc, etc.

There are compelling arguments against touchscreens on laptops and desktops, but this doesn't seem to be one.
Also Ngrok: https://ngrok.com

I really like Ngrok because it also comes with a light-weight web client that lets you see requests and replay them. Replaying especially is huge for me when doing testing.
This is an extreme example that illustrates something that happens all the time.

In this case the publisher is reported as a "fake news site" but I would argue that any publication that cites sources that are not thoroughly researched and fact-checked should be considered a fake news site.

Huffington Post does this all the time- they link to their own articles and other sites' opinion pieces to make points and pass them off as legitimate fact-based sources.
Rx is a fantastic project and I've immense respect for the creators.

My problem wasn't with Rx but rather the way our project grew crazy huge with lots of inner cross platform components and app specific implementations. Add to it the customized libraries for Android/iOS.
I believe VS is one of the best IDEs out there but still it couldn't cope up with it, and it made things tough for us. So thanks for your help, Rx is fine, it's just the situation we were caught in wasn't great :-)

[Full Disclosure: I work on the Xamarin team at Microsoft. I’m familiar with the Xamarin tools and want to offer my thoughts and guidance on the original post. Opinions here are my own.]

The answer to whether or not you should learn Xamarin depends largely on what you are trying to accomplish. Let me explain.

If you were to approach me as someone interested in Xamarin, I would start by asking what kinds of apps you are looking to build, how complex they are, and how much you care about UI quality and customization. This is to help decide between Xamarin and other xplat solutions, but also between Xamarin native and Xamarin.Forms, our cross-platform UI toolkit. I’d ask what you hope to gain from a cross-platform approach, so we can optimize for that. I’d ask what parts of your app you are looking to share, and how you plan on architecting your app to allow that.

I’d ask how much experience you have with .NET, and if being able to use C# and/or Visual Studio makes you more productive. I’d ask if you have an existing codebase you want to connect to. Your familiarity with native iOS development is a plus - the particulars of iOS and Android add to the learning curve, but you can’t make good native apps without knowing the basics of the platforms you’re building for.

From these considerations, we would decide if Xamarin is a good fit for you. It would be naive to say that Xamarin is the ideal solution for everyone, but it is a very good solution for many people.

At the end of the day, Xamarin is free, and it takes less time to get a handle on developing with Xamarin than it does to read this thread. I encourage you to try it out and decide for yourself.
But again, it's not as if this isn't being called out. Including, as you're saying, by the media itself. And these aren't cases of deliberate deception - they're faulty reporting. Surely that is inevitable every now and then.

The posts seem on the Facebook pages many people forward are knowingly incorrect. And they're not getting called out. It's a whole new ball game.
ahh ok, gotcha... we are in complete agreement.

You're assuming "outside influence" is the same thing as "different views". For example, in information ops you only have to use sensemaking on a target (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensemaking) to feed little bits of info or ideas that favor your goal. The end result is that the target feels protected from outside influence but it's anything but.

I've never been a founder of a startup, so my perspective as an employee is clearly somewhat biased. That said, I can't help but feel, that taking hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars, from a failing startup, should be considered fraud...
Interesting. I guess my workflow and concerns are a little different since I often work without benefit of an attached monitor, and my meetings start by logging into whatever computer is in the conference room. If I'm at my desk, I'm working on hardware that's well beyond what I'd expect from any laptop.

The 'thinner, lighter' perspective just doesn't fit well with my particular requirements.

They mention New York in this as well, and Sixth avenue. It's annoying to bike up due to the lack of a bike lane, but traffic is usually slow enough that you can get along pretty easily and safely. It's also better than 8th avenue, which does have one - but is always filled with pedestrians. (And which seems to disappear around Port Authority, forcing bicyclists to go into traffic anyway.)

Luckily, you can usually take the Hudson River Greenway by cutting all the way west. It's a more pleasant ride, but does take you out of your way, and once you get above 59th street, has limited access eastward and not a lot of signage to that effect.

If I don't mind pedaling through traffic, I'll take Sixth. If I'm angry and want to stay that way, I'll take 8th. If I've got time to kill, I'll take the greenway.

I have found personally that those who are worst at believing and forwarding misinformation online are in their late 40s and 50s-young enough to use technology, but old enough to have not learned how to deal with a deluge of information.

This doesn't apply to all older people, of course. But on aggregate, I would agree with you.

> The only way to keep the powerful from misusing it is to put everybody on the same level playing field.

I'm inclined to agree with you, but I have a few issues:

1) Nobody will ever be on the same playing field. There will always be someone who needs special closed-door meetings because "state-secrets" or "to catch the bad guys" or whatever. I think it is just too easy to abuse by those in power for them to let it slip by.

2) We'd need to stop treating criminals or outsiders as "bad" people first. Example: We need to treat violent offenders as people who don't fit in well with our non-violent society, rather than horrible people who need locked away and punished. We'd have to start recognizing that people who don't fit in well are often products of our culture, and we need to do more to support them.

3) I think the social changes would be drastic, for good and bad. Example: We'd start to realize how, statistically, everyone watches porn from time to time, and what types they watch. There's way too much social stigma out there right now for me to think that would end well.

When I was little, back in the 90s, I ran a Star Wars fan site on my AOL account. This was a time where you could still count on your hand the number of "popular" sites for Star Wars and if you knew how to remove the border from an image with a hyperlink you were well ahead of the design curve.

One day I received an email from some school kids in Missouri(?), St Louis maybe. They addressed it to, "Mr. George Lucas" and asked if I (George Lucas) would go to their school to talk with them.

I was totally blown away. At first I found it incredible someone would think George Lucas would have the website I built. Then I realized how incredible the Internet was that someone from St. Louis could even go on somewhere and assume that in the first place.

I think I ended up emailing them and breaking the new to them.

A flamewar is not a real connection of opposing sides that lets each understand the other, it's a progressive back-and-forth of increasingly simplified versions of the other's position until both sides hate each other more than when they started. It's still a part of the echo chamber phenomenon; just because there are people who hate each other shouting at each other, doesn't mean the inherent structure of the medium won't make each more rigid in their views.

I think replacement of magsafe with usb-c is a step in the right direction. Hopefully one day products will all have the same ports...unless there's a cooler faster usb-d that has even more function. Maybe one day there will be no ports at all.
I agree that the system needs to change, but you should also take into consideration that the purpose of the electoral college is to prop up the power of smaller states that don't have large populations, as minority opinions are important too. How people vote is partially a reflection of who the campaigns addressed. Because it's the electoral college that counts, candidates campaign to win the electoral college, not the popular vote. If the popular vote won the presidency, campaigns would adjust their strategy to address the popular vote. This would mean less focus on swing states and more focus on addressing the population overall.

Trump winning while losing the popular vote is the system working as intended, but we can definitely debate whether those intentions were good and if the reasons for the system still apply today. The political situation is very different now from when the electoral college was implemented. As it stands, it's entirely up to the states to change the laws binding their electors to the state popular vote. Eleven have already signed on to National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which would bind their electors to the national popular vote if enough states sign on.
They cover a lot, and they covered several with reference to Trump's ties to Russia. See below for some examples.

Either way, it's certainly true that Trump repeatedly praised Putin, quoted Russian propaganda, disbelieved US intelligence about Russian hacking (it might have been an obese guy in a basement) and did nothing to disprove his links with Russia. This included being too scared to show his tax returns, which hasn't happened since Nixon.

At least when you elected Nixon, you didn't know he was a crook.
