That's where you're wrong. Most open source projects have a single maintainer who does the vast majority of the work. It is not uncommon for them to put in 30 hours per week or more for free. In theory someone could step up and replace them - but no one ever does because that requires actual work. Maintaining a large project is a thankless task. People are constantly bitching and complaining why you haven't implemented useless feature X or fixed random bug Y for their commercial product. Github is full of self-entitled whining users who never give back to the community and expect everything for free and fixed in a timely manner.

Large open source projects being driven by unpaid volunteers is simply not viable or sustainable. All big projects (Linux, GCC, LLVM) are sponsored by the likes of IBM, Google, Facebook, Red Hat and Apple. It's the only model that works.
> but sadly it's still one of the better timelines: google play services is an app that they can update to provide better support and services for app, and this was the solution they chose to fix the early days of "no manufacturer update their phone's OS, so new app can't rely on new features".

I agree that their approach to the problem of updates was the right one. But they went too far - they also closed a vital part of OS from their partners and from users. They could have open-sourced it, but they didn't. I know it makes sense from business POV (Samsung was becoming dangerous to them), but it sucks for opensource alternatives.

In Ethereum, its important to recognize that what's happening here is not breach of contract. The contract is still executing. However, anyone is free to alter the network in any way they choose. And everyone is free to ascribe whatever value they choose to each network fork. This is a known beforehand, explicitly specified feature of the network. However, it's also known that people really really don't want to do this unless its absolutely necessary. The tension between these two things is what creates the maxim "the code is law" in most situations. The code is law, and it always will be. However, the value may shift. Ethereum Classic is still going along just fine. The value, however, has moved. Ethereum promises only that your contract is immutable in the network in which it was originally embedded. That much is an absolute guarantee. It does not promise that people will continue to use that network.

Well when has this ever not been the case? The way most of our economic systems are set up, the disparity of wealth between nations, between races, etc. They are all about this luck. In fact the difference between human beings and animal is exactly that as well. The concept taken to its conclusion is absurd. The point that he's trying to make is one for a more social system. But gasp that's socialism, isn't it? Capital drives the system. Those who hold capital want more capital. So obviously they are going to do everything in their power to do just that. To ask them to appeal to lower common denominators, well that's sort of like asking a General to hire less competent soldiers; how then do you expect them to win a war?
I buried the lede, the point is that it didn't work in Austria June 11, and it did on June 17th. June 15th is when the rule went into effect.

Iirc Schmidt Page Brin combine to control the majority of votes. This tight control will lapse when the Schmidt estate goes through a generational estate transfer event and liquidates shares to conver taxes (since he is the oldest of the three).
It's not quite true - holders of Google Class A shares ("GOOGL") also have voting power. However, Page, Brin, and Schmidt together control more than 50% of the voting power of the company, which means that as long as those 3 are united, it doesn't matter how many GOOGL shares activist investors can control.

Where this might matter, hypothetically, is if you can separate one of the 3 from the other on an issue. If, for example, Larry did such a terrible job running the company that even Sergey believed he should be replaced, then an activist investor coalition together with Sergey's Class B shares could force a change in leadership. In such a situation, it's likely that GOOGL (class A, with voting privileges) would fetch a very hefty premium over GOOG (class C, no voting privileges), because an activist investor coalition would need to own nearly all the class A shares plus have the support of Sergey or Eric to effect change.

It reminds me of Easter Island. The prevailing theory goes like this. The islanders made big stone heads (Moai) to honor some famous chiefs. Everyone was impressed. Then some rich bigwigs decide to make Moais for themselves. Then every Joe Shmoe with some money decided THEY wanted a Moai too. The island went nuts for Moais and they ended up cutting down all the trees on the island, destroying the ecosystem and the entire civilization collapsed and disappeared.

But... Moaicoins only go up!
> Everything is in a flat structure, except when it comes to salary and responsibilities.

This part got a laugh out of me.

Otherwise, the analogy feels really stretched and at times feels straight up incorrect. For instance, I've never sat through a technical interview administered by non-technical staff. I've likewise never been quizzed on the history of computation.

I agree that the programming interview in the US can be overly algo-and-whiteboard happy, but I think this critique is unfair and possibly even outdated (my most recent round of interviews involved more live coding, and less whiteboarding, than when I last interviewed 4 years ago)

So the guy should have been fired for taking a nap?

Jez man, you and I so don't see eye-to-eye on this one. If someone is tired, they are not functioning well. If a manager is tired, they are not going to be at their best for handling employees without saying something improper.

But just based on your statement, he should have been rehired.
Good friends pay, or help pay, for things they break.

I imagine the people you're talking about don't. Have you asked directly, though? Making it clear that you expect them to pay - and will ask - may help them avoid asking to borrow something and breaking it next time.
>Do you agree that a web service is not a private residence?

For all purpose and effect, it equals a private residence. After all the web service is run by somebody on servers that somebody either owns or pays for.

If I don't want you on my web service I have every right in the world not to let you in/use it because you have no right to demand usage of my private property (servers).

>A coffe shop, a supermarket, a bookstore, etc. doesn't have right to check your ID.

While I'm not 100% sure about the legal situation in the US, I'm pretty sure regular householder's rights apply.

They have the right demand all kinds of things before allowing you on their private premises and you have the right to say "Nah" and not enter their private premises as a result of that, their club, their rules.

>Heck, from what I know, in the US even the police cannot ask you for an id without "reasonable suspicion" that you did something illegal.

In theory, the same was true for German police until... you guess it: 9/11 and the big push for the "war on terror" happened.
Since then many countries have adopted additional legislation to allow police more "freedom" with ID checks.

Germany adopted this by declaring certain zones as "higher risk", like near government buildings, public transportation hubs and so on. Police can demand ID from pretty much anybody in a certain radius to such zones, this process is then called "verdachtsunabhänge Personenkontrolle" which loosely translates to "identity check regardless of suspicion".

I'm pretty sure the US has adopted similar legislation, just like the US (supposedly the country of the freest of free speech) adopted the usage of "Free speech zones".

Agreed. Outwardly the definition of meritocracy sounds positive:

"an elite group of people whose progress is based on ability and talent rather than on class privilege or wealth."[1]

However defining what constitutes "merit" has some issues:

The term "meritocracy" was originally intended as a negative concept.One of the primary concerns with meritocracy is the unclear definition of "merit" What is considered as meritorious can differ with opinions as on which qualities are considered the most worthy, raising the question of which "merit" is the highest—or, in other words, which standard is the "best" standard. As the supposed effectiveness of a meritocracy is based on the supposed competence of its officials, this standard of merit cannot be arbitrary and has to also reflect the competencies required for their roles.[2]

When I was working at Ooyala I used to do the typical data-structure interviews (trees, graphs, etc), until one time an interviewee asked me: "Do you guys use all this in your day to day?" I felt ashamed to have to answer "not really", which I did.

After that, I started asking for answers to problems that I really had in the day to day. Some of them actually had real complexity (like doing binary search to overcome a buggy HTTP request items pagination library).

I think the main problem with data-structures and algorithms questions is that, the person that originally envisions a question, understands the "soul" of the question and how to vouch the candidate as she solves the question. However, when someone else takes that question to apply it, he only sees whether the answer is right or wrong, without looking at the resolution process.

I'm not affiliated with any of them. The plug is genuine. I've been on both sides of interview table to know it's a crapshoot. You really are better off with one of those three than on your own.

Those companies go out of their way to reduce as much bias as possible. In the long run we are all better off if we rely on data instead of anecdotes and fancy resumes.

Not while claiming the opposite, it's not.
I haven't taken an incredibly close look at this, but it seems like a pretty bad idea. Elisp is definitely not a great language, and I'd like an alternative as much as the next Emacs user. But I feel pretty strongly that any alternative has to be a Lisp, or very close to one. Code-is-data/data-is-code is very important for the more "config-file" aspects of configuring Emacs. Being able to use and write DSLs to succinctly encode exactly how you want aspects of the editor to behave is a critical strength. I've tried systems that were configurable in Python and other good-but-non-Lisp languages, and it's always much more annoying, because the language is (purposefully) limited w.r.t metaprogramming and possible DSLs. That's a good thing when optimizing for maintainability by others and obviousness, but not so much when optimizing for maximum personal customizability.

Go seems like quite possibly the polar opposite of this, as far in the "keep it simple and understandable by literally everyone by cutting out many techniques for metaprograming and code reuse". Which perhaps is the point, but if so it seems like that point misses much of the draw of Emacs?

While this is definitely impressive technically, I think Guile Emacs is a much more plausible option.

Like it or not, the CEO is working class. It's a job, like yours, with a boss. And they, like the rest of the working class, had more power in the mid-recent past than they do today. Today, 40% of wealth is owned by 1% of the population. And the 1% are not CEOs. This capital concentration has greatly reduced the influence of a CEO.

> you can't always know the initial conditions

Just because you can't know them doesn't mean they aren't physical. God can know the initial conditions. In a classical world, that's good enough.

> and you can't transpose non-linearities

So? Classical mechanics is linear.

> can you tell where it started moving if its current velocity is constant?

Yes, of course. Just as easily -- and by the exact same method -- as you can tell where it will stop moving.

> What if that particle hits a wall and stays there? How can you know when in the past it stopped moving?

That's a question that is answered in a first-year physics course, but the TL;DR is that any collision must conserve both momentum and energy. If a ball hits a wall and "sticks" then some of its energy must be dissipated as heat. That is the thermodynamic arrow of time, which is exactly what the original post was about.

But sometimes straight lines have some kind of angle introduced which shouldn't be there in a correct Voronoi tessellation.

Thank you for pointing this out and I agree. This is very much propaganda. Reigning in the total square footage of the executive wing at GE and replacing walnut with glass is just tokenism.

Don't judge a company by the interviewer though. Most would rather be coding or whatever their real job is, so yes they read canned questions from a textbook. In a way, bad interviewers may be a sign that the work itself is far more interesting!

Still, the approach has its advantages. "Listen, I know you'd rather get back to doing whatever you were doing before this. Let me tell you why I'm a good candidate .... ". And then go on having "developer-to-developer" conversation, ask them about their work, talk about your own. Obviously only do this on the canned questions, not the actual technical questions, unless you've already aced a few tech questions and are getting bored. Unless it's a hugely bureaucratic organization, this will probably receive a good review.

Another thing I've noticed is that it allows the interviewer to lower their guard as well, so you can usually get some more real "what's great, what sucks about the job", and I've even scored on "what's the pay cap of this position" multiple times.
