"I want anyone to be able to do whatever they want to with my code. That includes developers wanting to create a proprietary application. Telling them they can't is not freedom."

That sounds like the "if you can't sell yourself into slavery, then you're not free" line of reasoning.

And it sounds weird that you want anyone to be able to do stuff with your code, but you support people taking that freedom away from others.

Care to elaborate? I can cook and know how to eat a balanced set of macro-nutrients, but I find it quite difficult to be consistently health concious when eating out all the time and cooking regularly is anything but minimal effort and time.

RDA for protein is 0.8g/kg (~0.36/pound), so about 65g in your case if you're sedentary. 1g/pound is an old bodybuilder myth according to this article [0] which goes through various studies: "many review papers have concluded 0.82g/lb is the upper limit at which protein intake benefits body composition". This is for strength athletes and bodybuilders, mind you: most people (even many athletes) need far, far less.

Meal replacement shakes have been around for, what, 2+ decades now? Saying that Soylent has come along and now somehow enables depressed people strikes me as insanity.

Depressed people misuse all kinds of perfectly valid products and services. Being mad at Soylent, or pizza delivery, or the internet, or beds, or any other thing that depressed people might end up leaning on in an unhealthy way seems pretty silly to me.
This looks like a great recipe the 'parking laws' being changed with zero notice and your car getting towed away. No longer does the city have to send someone out to mark where your car is currently parked as an immediate towaway zone.
... and still claimed that most of the time, he would win.
Even if -- some would say especially if -- you are profitable, you might take outside money to speed up the process. Not that unusual.

Speeding up is useful for many reasons. Just to name a few: you have a lead and want to maintain it; you suspect the window for product adoption is limited; you want to grow the business and sell it so you can move on.

They could grow slowly for the next 10 years, or throw lighter fluid on it and grow more aggressively, giving investors a cut along the way.
Yep. Everyone has been saying SMS is not a secure channel for forever now, and this is only one of many possible attacks that can be used to trivially bypass SMS based auth. It's sad but true that in general banks have some of the weakest security on the internet, most online games do a better job protecting user accounts from unauthorized access.

Soylent 1.6 has a GI of 65. That happens to be the same GI as sucrose (aka sugar). It is literally spot on, so you don't have to say "particularly" regarding 2.0.

Facebook causing depression when used too much? What were the alternative groups doing? Correlation is a tricky thing to measure. I'm not sure how I feel about these types of studies or what utility they really provide.

Other than maybe giving the reader some perspective on their life. Anything used in a poor context, for example not combined with the right attitude, environment, etc can cause issues.

Often we just fall into negative cycles and need to be kicked in the butt to change them. We often fixate on one specific thing, like I quit smoking and suddenly became healthy (but I also worked out, started eating better, spent less time/money on a neutral/negative activity, etc, etc). There are always so many moving parts.

At most you could critique Solyent if they advertised as the solution to your health problems. Rather than something to replace 1-2 daily meals when you're on a tight schedule. The former is a complicated multi-faceted lifestyle thing that no company could offer with a single product but that won't stop them from positioning the product that way. But we should be smart enough to know it will only ever (potentially) be a component of it.
There isn't an Ensure product that is formulated similarly to Soylent at the moment. Ensure has two products with a similar calorie count compared to Soylent (Ensure 350g vs Soylent 400g). Here's how they break down:

Soylent Drink: 400cal, 21g fat, 20g protein, 36g total carb. 9g sugar.

Ensure Plus: 350cal, 11g fat, 13g protein, 57g carb. 22g sugar.

Ensure Enlive: 250cal, 11g fat, 20g protein, 45g carb. 22g sugar.

As you can see, Soylent has more fat, which provides 9 cal/gram compared to 4cal/gram from carb/protein. This allows it to hit its calorie goal without adding nearly as many carbs and sugars.
Anyone else find it odd that all these headlines states only how much these companies are going to spend on manufacturing, but none of them say what they're actually going to be making?
Or, of course, users could avoid installing apps altogether. Which, apparently, is the approach that many people take:

It seems likely that lots of folks already realize 'experiencing the joy of the Krispy Kreme app" will not improve their life in any way, shape, or form.
Is there any long term effect medical study about this product?

I think our body has organs which releases various gastric juices to digest the food we eat. It is not only about how much calorie/protein one is consuming, there are also some useful by-products which helps in overall functioning of the body as well. A very simple analogy is only drinking fruit juice
instead of eating them raw. We are not taking in fibers which helps in digestion, slow decomposition and good bowl movement.

I am very skeptical about approaches like this where we measure our food just in terms of calories, vitamins, protiens and then consume them directly in that format.
erikbye never indicated that he cares whether OSS gets out of the catch 22. I develop a Linux distribution and I know that I do not care.

Lots of developers aren't "passionate", at least about software development. (https://codewithoutrules.com/2016/11/30/not-a-passionate-pro...)

And there's a good argument to be made that you shouldn't be passionate about software development: http://www.virtuouscode.com/2014/02/10/the-passion-gospel/

Creativity is not "all about passion". It's a skill you can apply with or without passion.

> There have been a lot of talk about code replacing lawyers for years now, I still see very little of that actually happening.

Replacing X, when X is a task performed by a human is not an easy task for any technology.

Take for instance Automobiles replaced Horse Cab drivers, but it created Automobile drivers. So have cars really replaced the drivers? In a way they have, and in a way they haven't.

Today Smart contracts are being used to performed mostly financial transactions. Our main problem remains the same what it was in front of the Internet in early days. They wanted their refrigerator to be able to automatically order milk once it runs out of it, but it turned out that IoT wasn't even a thing then.

On the other hand, replacing telegrams and faxes with email was a lot easier task. Doing things which have no pre-internet equivalence (for instance camming) were a lot more easily integrated.

Same here, the main and the easiest use of Smart Contracts would be in the fields where there is no current usage exists. Currently Smart contracts are being used for some lightweight usages for instance performing trades of cryptocurrencies. Today ENS is launched where they are using Smart Contracts to implement domain registry systems. Tomorrow maybe decentralized uber would be made possible. None of these tasks are really 'replace a lawyer' tasks.
In my experience, that isn't true at all. In fact, I've heard the opposite. When iPad sales slump, one explanation is often that everybody's old iPad is still working great and people have no reason to upgrade.

There's no such thing as poverty in America. If anything Americans should get rid of some stuff.
> Do they own it? If so, yes. Give it back.

The boundaries of legal ownership and those of what some consider morally acceptable might be different, so I don't think it's so black and white.

On the other hand, I agree that people shouldn't be criticizing someone for not doing something illegal, especially because they are the one who would have to face the consequences of taking illegal action.
Ensure is a weight gain brand, which is also incidentally marketed as a meal replacement for everyone and their dog because why not - of course marketing will never tell anyone, "don't eat this, it's not for you". That's why it's an old people brand, it's for people who can't eat enough solid food to maintain their weight. Just compare the nutritional labels:

Soylent (400 kcal)
21g fat
37g carbs (9g simple sugars, 3g fibers)
20g protein

Ensure (400 kcal)
11g fat
60g carb (?g simple sugars, doesn't say, NO FIBERS)
16g protein

I looked at every single brand of meal replacement shakes I could get my hands on around here at drugstores, I was looking for a cheaper alternative to Soylent and figured one of them would do. You would think someone would be making a meal replacement that's not sugar water garbage already. NOPE. Plus, most of them serve a different goal, either weight gain or weight loss, not just meal replacement.

EDIT: arguably Soylent is sugar water garbage too, it's first ingredients are water and maltodextrin (a sugar), but it's not as bad as the others I've looked at.
For medical training, Soylent has been wonderful. On emergency shifts I often won't have 10 or 20 minutes to go to the cafeteria for a meal as there are too many acute patients. I used to rely on energy bars to get me through but I much prefer Soylent. They are quicker to eat and I know that I am drinking a someone balanced meal. I usually drink about three in an eight hour shift.

You raise a great point about self reflection and Soylent. To stop cooking entirely is madness, and Soylent can enable antisocial tendencies or depression. They shouldn't brand themselves as a complete dietary replacement for food.
For several reasons I use mostly commercial commercial software, but everything I write outside work regardless of how useless it may be, is always released under GPL.
I believe you are incorrect. iOS have introduced more and more permissions (most recently, for iOS10 a permission prompt appears for apps trying to access the built-in media library, whereas this was a silent free-for-all in earlier versions), and existing apps are not grandfathered in. According to at least https://www.macrumors.com/2012/06/14/apple-requires-user-per... apps will just receive empty/dummy data until the permission is granted. From my personal experience, camera APIs return black pixels until the permission has been granted, even for apps that were released when iOS 5.0.0 was the latest version and never updated since.
I'd theorize that this has something to do with the fact that the hippocampus is implicated in both determining locational context (for navigation) as well as task management and executive function. I've read a bunch of books on the topic of willpower that indicate that decision-making is a fairly expensive on a metabolic level, so this makes sense to me -- it's like you're minimizing the array of actions from which your hippocampus has to scan when it determines what to work on from locational context.
If open source licensed software has a pervasive problem like this, how can you be sure it has "nothing" to do with the licenses?

I assume since you used the word, you know what it means - what the fuck is globalism? I know what glottalization is, as a concept, a trend, and all of the debates surrounding it for the past four decades, but what the fuck is globalism?
American labor was fucked anyways, Globalism only accelerated trends that would have happened anyhow. From a long term perspective, its absolutely amazing that the US has managed to export all the factory level jobs to other countries and yet managed to keep the better paying jobs back here in the states. The current lack of (low skilled) jobs in manufacturing has made it clear to those Americans willing to listen: they (or their children) need to acquire those skills that make them employable in the 21st century, and those do not include low-skilled factory jobs. The next generation will be better prepared and I predict the US will continue as a global technological powerhouse (unless it gets fucked by Trumpism and populism of course).

Accessing databases in general and accessing them with an ORM in particular is far more common in Java and C# (due to "enterprise" applications) and in Python, Ruby, PHP (due to popular frameworks for database-backed web applications) than in C or C++.

When a database is used in C++, the application is typically not very portable and/or small and simple and/or performance critical and/or not object-centric, and an ORM would offer little or no benefit over using a more direct API.
We have struggled from performance perspective because we have a relational database at the back. GraphQL has been limited our overall use of JOINS which means multiple queries to fetch data for different data which could've been fetched in a single JOIN query.

I find it fascinating that this is mostly about iOS. Mac users are still the #1 group I'd pinpoint as "willing to pay for software at all" - and I do think that's the reason why there are many nice apps for the mac where I as a Linux user just use something usable-but-not-so-nice.

But in the grand scale of things, I guess this doesn't matter so much if you compare mac app sales versus iOS sales, thus the main point of the article.

I rent an office with a buddy in the NY metro area for about $350 each, its about a 6 minute walk from my apt. Best investment I could make, if I only work a few extra hours a week because of it then it pays for itself. Thats just me tho some people are fine working from home.
No I mean I understand where OTP falls short, but you're either really bad at conveying your viewpoint, or you're simply plain wrong.

Yes, with OTP you need to exchange keys and this shifts all of the security to key exchange, and while this wouldn't be a problem in other ciphers, it's a problem in OTP because of its other properties and shortfalls.

So at most I feel as though it's a security/convenience tradeoff; a tradeoff that's substantial or even dangerous in certain situations.
It's not just the financial interests. It's also the public as a whole - the pushing of a college education (seemingly regardless of quality) for everyone, and the general social devaluing of any sort of trade-like work. I don't really know where that sentiment originates from though.

I'm curious, can you expand on how you see the Stewart vs. Maher analogy in this case?

full disclaimer: I love Stewart and think Maher is a smug prick, while being far to the left of both of them.
A small probe, like the P6021 (which I own [0]) is pretty small. The transformer itself is tiny; there is only a small PCB in the handle with some frequency compensation. (However it is said that these are difficult to manufacture - more so for their Hall-enhanced partners - due to the precisely ground halves of the core).

The bigger probes that are meant to go on bare, live bus bars and such are probably mostly air to give the operator the required safe handling distance... probably not an issue for a clip-on probe that goes on insulated wires?

It is a valid point of view. Although perspective and proportionality are equally valid as well.. Apple invest in anyone else but themselves.
SMS is not a secure 2nd factor. It is subject to not only technical attacks such as the one in the article, but also a wide variety of social engineering attacks. Getting cell phone reps to compromise an cell phone account is apparently not hard, and has been used many times to take over online accounts.
I doubt it. If you want to blame geopolitical factors at all for the recent investment in cryptocurrency:

1. Chinese investors see crypto as a way of moving currency outside of China. The Chinese government has recently cracked down on movement of money outside of the country.

2. The rise of populism could drive people into crypto. The rise of actors like Donald Trump, Marine Le Pen, Geert Wilders (although defeated) implies major currency instability, especially around USD, EUR.

On (2), from what I understand Gold has become less of a good hedge against world economic stability as well.

I use Huel to replace the meals I eat at home. As a consequence, it is the only food in my apartment. Removing the possibility of eating junk has helped me improve my diet a lot, and I still get to have a takeaway meal for lunch to sate my cravings for real food.
Agreed. I use Soylent as a replacement for cliff bars when I ski or climb. It's easier to get down and has more calories.
Mandelbrot, Fama and the emergence of econophysics (2016)
N=1 here. After Soylent found its way into my home I started drinking it for lunch (chocolate shake). Previously, I'd have ordered in or run out to grab a salad.

With the extra time I found myself, instead of rushing between lunch and work, wandering around listening to audiobooks or podcasts. I started enjoying these walks so much I extended them. On one podcast I heard about Blue Apron. I've never liked cooking, but the release of lunch's tediousness pushed me to give it a try.

Dinner is now, three times a week, a home-cooked meal for myself and one other. (Together, Blue Apron and Soylent reduced my daily caloric intake appreciably, at least on weekdays.)
Is it really that odd? Its a way for companies to prevent getting hit by a Trump tweet that deplores them for not hiring enough Americans. So now, everyone wants to portray any US investment they make, any US workers they hire, loudly and with big but vague/unspecific numbers.
Somewhat off topic, but I've noticed people using the word 'religious' in arguments like this to mean more or less 'positions that one holds that are not based on logical reasoning but strong personal preference'.

The statement "an X is home to all its citizens" is true for any X.

The "realistic replacement" is to not worry too much about perfectly balanced nutrition if you need skip an actual real meal occasionally. The body can handle it.
> But they look at everyone else with similar income and credit and look a the default rate and figure out what they need to charge to make a profit.

But don't these number take into account the fact that the average person is scared/ashamed of defaulting? If personally declaring bankruptcy were much more common, would interest rates be where they are right now?
