yes, i know im old and quaint, but most of these problems are completely solved by connecting to slack via an IRC client. they do a good job with the compatibility, snippets are just links, they echo your own msgs back to you if you use the app, etc. this way, you are only getting notifications like @here when you are using your computer, aka, working. i like to use smuxi, with a headless remote server configuration, this way i have slack, gchat, irc, and twitter all in one window that sync with all my other computers.
That's exactly what I thought the second I read this:

> 2) The whole "Qt vs. GTK+" worked perfectly fine on desktop. We have several kickass graphical user interfaces on the desktop.

In fact, as person trying to avoid both KDE and GNOME, I am so glad there was not one concerted effort in desktop environments. It's the only reason I still have choice. Had QT been GPLed originally, I wonder what the world of free desktop software would look like now.

Would love to know an example of an inoffensive way to do this in Germany. That's one culture gap I have trouble crossing.
The same reason forcing devs to do ops on their own product justifies having devs do (some of) their own customer support. Otherwise they just toss any old crap over the fence and it becomes somebody elses' problem. Force them to solve those problems and they magically go away, cos devs hate support.
One thing I wish I realized earlier in regards to strength training:

It's very easy to do at home if you have the space for it.

You don't need an expensive machine. A used power rack and bench can be found for cheap. I now get my workouts done in the amount of time it would've taken me to drive to/from the gym. Listen to whatever music I like. Don't have to worry about other people. Don't have to worry about weather.

>But that's not what they're saying.

Let's back up for a moment just to make sure we're talking about the same "they." "They" being the author of this article, absolutely said almost verbatim what I claimed they said.

My post: "It is correctly claiming that the GPLv2 license prohibits one from adding additional restrictions to the redistribution of the source code"

The article: "This is tantamount to the addition of a term to the GPL prohibiting distribution or creating a penalty for distribution. GPL section 6 specifically prohibits any addition of terms."

>If you read their statements on the subject you'll see that they explicitly permit redistribution under the rules of the GPL.

Now it seems you're talking about GRsec and not the author of the article, but I definitely didn't claim GRsec said anything, I only made assertions about what the article said.

Then, going a step further, what you're arguing is yet another separate issue entirely, which is more relevant but still different than anything in this thread: Your claim is that their contract's rules of punishing someone for redistribution is not covered by GPL section 6. This may well be true, but I would personally guess not.

"You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein" seems pretty clear cut to me. It implies that you can't impose any further restrictions. You can't even write a contract regarding the terms of redistributing GPLv2 software. And indeed, as far as I can tell, there's absolutely no precedence for being able to do that. If you could do that, then anyone could defeat the GPL by making a contract with sufficient punishment for redistribution.

For streaming, I still prefer Netflix. I don't like the interface of Amazon on the firestick or the phone app, though I do like a lot of the options Prime has that Netflix lacks.
You can see this played out every day in designated smoking areas. I've observed smokers tend to become friends quickly. As smoking is increasingly frowned upon, everybody who shows up in the smoking area is sort of opening up and sharing a weakness with the other smokers just by being there.
Or just give up on them or the entire music industry. That's what I've done. Pretty much did the same for movies. I don't want to pay their prices with their rules. Rather than steal, I just don't consume. Most of the music I listen to is either through a legal streaming service like Amazon or Pandora (which is probably 10 songs a month total) or legal video playback on Youtube through Vevo even from smaller labels like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxLA1NX9gxY.
Does anyone know what is meant by "high ego identities" and "low ego identities?"
Are you suggesting that there isn't something fundamentally inequitable about large segments of society having a harder time obtaining material wealth?

I agree with what I assume is your position that material wealth shouldn't be the sole metric of success, but I also think the fact that women and minorities struggle relative to white men to obtain material wealth is a problem we should try to solve. Those positions are not contradictory.

I had the same issue on my Mac. I solved it by changing the setting of Google Drive from "do a complete sync" to "only sync a few folders". I gradually increased the folders 1-2gb at a time and now the complete drive is synced. Maybe give this a try. Rest i too am a paid user :( and the support you got is a bit dissapointing
Agreed. But more specifically, how can VCs be more discriminating and also not make getting money harder?

There was another thread today about an interview with some rockstar VC and his wisdom was: invest in ideas that sound stupid, but turn out not to be. I mean, here I've been trying to not sound stupid in front of investors and it's been holding me back.

A random distribution of points in a circle is different from a set of points calculated by using a random angle and distance from the center, even though they're both "random". How you construct your randomness is significant.
Oh, woops. I sort of skimmed past the first names, but I should have known to check. It's interesting that you say "especially in the air force", because I had sort of gotten that impression, but wasn't sure if it was real.
That's a bad idea. What you should do is don't consume BMG content in any form--legal or illegal. While the effectivity of boycotts is debatable, mass switching from purchase to pirating would merely be fuel for the fire of needing better tools to combat piracy.

Yeah, they don't show up with a zero, it just says not enough data to show so hard to draw any conclusions. I agree this is an imperfect proxy and it's not definitive but I'd still absolutely take you up on that bet (conditioned on there being some way of actually resolving it).

But maybe the real question is, why aren't people asking "Is Reese Witherspoon's daughter smart?"
I don't even know that this is true. In my personal experience (so completely anecdotal), pirated content is always much easier to ingest than paid, DRM'd content. There hasn't ever been a single DRM system that actually made piracy more difficult. If anything, it just made usage for legitimate users difficult. The only exception that I can think of were the DRM systems for video games that existed (and some still do) where it takes them a week or 2 to crack the DRM. Even then, the people that weren't going to pay for those games just wait until the DRM is cracked. It didn't actually make pirating the games harder, it just made it inconvenient for a little while longer but that's never been shown to equate to more paying customers.
This is a great, concise explanation of the openGL pipeline.

How much is 3e9?
I don’t think it was ever common for people to literally use the phrase “steadfast friends”. The word “fast” by itself meant (and still means sometimes) something like steady or firmly stuck. So “fast friends” per se was always a perfectly fine phrase. It hasn’t been shortened from some other form.

People trying to explain the origin of the phrase “fast friends” point to the word “steadfast” as an example of where this sense of fast persists. You might also notice the same meaning in our words fasten, colorfast, etc.
BMG has no constitutional right to stay in business, either.
Well, you know the trouble with standards...

You're making an extremely nitpicky and useless distinction. If a service provider offers native clients for a set of supported platforms, for use with their storage service, a natural and reasonable expectation is that they will work.

If a video game publisher sells a game for Mac and Windows, and one of those platforms doesn't work, then the affected customer is entitled either to customer support or a refund. The advertised product (native client on a certain platform) isn't working as advertised.
Does that mean that some close, naturally-forming relationships don't get nurtured as lovingly as was achieved in a 45-minute conversation?

As one more random data point: I am a chatty extravert. Sometimes people imagine they are close to me when they are not.

Thanks for the feedback! Just for reference, the idea here is not to replace the interviews, but to supplement them. I still plan to continue doing 3 interviews/week.

This new approach will allow me to publish a lot of things that don't quite fit the interview format, but are informative and useful regardless; things might otherwise languish on Medium without any attention or discussion from the entrepreneur community; and things that otherwise might never get published at all.
Statesider?
No. You just changed the question. Even most whiteboard interviews don't meet your newly narrowed criteria. I just meant to state that I regularly write code on a whiteboard in my real work. You could argue it's time constrained too. At least as much as it would be in an interview.
Why I hate "Why I ___ and you should too" posts and you should too:

It reeks of attention seeking so from right off the bat I don't even want to read. It doesn't sound genuine. Also you don't get to tell me what to do or what not to do. Just share your experience modestly.
Yeah... I'm curious what part of the conversation triggered the Google Home action because, typically, there's a trigger word/phrase or something that has to be used. If the trigger phrase is the standard "OK Google" or something along those lines, then I wonder what was said before "Call the sheriff" that was incorrectly interpreted as "OK Google" (or whatever the actual phrase was).

I don't understand the video -- with 45 players, wouldn't one have $89 after round 1? But that's not what we see -- it takes hundreds of rounds before the first person breaks $80.
Of course they should work. You're making a false equivalence, though. A video game is a product that you've paid for. The user in this case is not paying for the app, they're paying for the service. Just because Google offers the app to use with their storage service doesn't mean that their support should refund money to the user when the service itself is functioning exactly as advertised and intended. My contention is 100% with the OP's insistence that they deserve a refund because they're "paying for it". They're not paying for the app and the service is working so why is a refund in order?
If fewer people accumulate material wealth, can you conclude that they had a harder time doing it? I mean, I'm not ruling it out, but it also seems plausible the group wasn't trying to do that as much.
Sure, that's exactly what I wanted to hear. It's just that priorities don't align with both the teams all the time.
My naïve understanding of deep learning is that it works by finding patterns in the answers, instead of actually solving problems.

If I take a multiple-choice exam and always answer "C", then I have a good chance at getting more than 25%.

For image recognition, I think the classifier is doing the real work (trying to actually answer the question), and the deep learning is just seeing if the answer matches the pattern of expected answers.

Somehow, this actually works. I think that it's because true randomness is hard to find.

The problem that I've found is that it's really difficult to teach deep learning. I'm making a Chinese-English teaching tool ( http://pingtype.github.io ) and sourcing my translations from Google Translate. I find a lot of mistakes in my dictionary that obviously came from Google's model getting the word spacing wrong. I can fix it in my own dictionary immediately. If I submit the correction to Google, it just changes some weightings, and hundreds of people will have to submit the same correction before their deep learning will finally catch on that it needs to change something.
That's how you know if a product is for enterprise or not.

If the license model decouples actual use / utility from revenue, then it has probably been designed that way and is targeted at enterprise.

But...this is true of every software vendor. Does anyone think Microsoft is paying market value for a remote code execution exploit in Edge? They're not, they'll give you $15k for it[1].

I find this particularly interesting:

> [the security researchers] asked Apple's security team for special iPhones that don't have certain restrictions so it's easier to hack them [...] these devices would have some security features, such as sandboxing, disabled in order to allow the researchers to continue doing their work.

If I go to Google or Facebook and ask them to, say, turn off some key security features on their site so I can find more bugs they're gong to tell me to go take a hike. It's unclear to me why a security researcher thinks Apple would give them access to a device with the sandbox bypassed. Why would they possibly trust them?

Piracy is going to happen - BMG should incentivize people to buy their music rather than chase down the few who obtain it illegally. The same argument has been going on since the Napster days with Metallica.
I agree with the informal and non-archival nature of Slack. Whenever a serious/word-related decision has been made or somebody drafted a summary for a slack discussion, it should be posted to Trello or some other platform which makes it easier for latecomers to glance through. 1500+ unread msgs after vacation is not fun. Do I miss anything important and work-related? Or just some random cat pictures and movie critics?

In addition, it's hard to track progress with Slack. It's multi-channel, multi-topic, multi-project, and etc. I mean, Slack is great for quick discussion, but terrible at keeping records.
It existed before the non-smokers called it a weakness. It's called assuming you have something in common with your fellow man, and being willing to make small talk under only that pretense.

I eat yellow grits for breakfast. I'll attribute it to that.
Very true. Dialing it down even further, a bench and a set of adjustable dumbbells can be had for even cheaper and take up a lot less space. You won't be able to progress as far, particularly with leg exercises, but a small flat bench with dumbbells under it fits in the corner of a room when not in use. The power rack, bench, weights, and barbell may not be too expensive, but the extra room to hold all of them is.

That said, I'm a huge fan of the home workout. There's at least an hour worth of time overhead in going to the gym, and there's mental activation energy too. At home, I can easily start a workout, I never wait for a machine, I change in my bedroom instead of a locker room, I'm using my own shower, and it takes zero time to get there.

Especially for beginners, the downsides of only having dumbbells are dwarfed by the benefits of doing it at home.
And there you've hit the nail on the head. Too many people running currently powerful/profitable businesses think they have a right to have their business model be profitable.

Local hidden variables. I see nothing wrong with non-locality; it's basically been confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt by now. That "closeness" occurs within Hilbert space rather than its projection into position space is ultimately no problem for a PRNG.
Your analogy to me falls extremely flat given that in this situation you own the iPhone in question and are just asking for the right to put arbitrary software... on your own phone.

(My comment is now at -1. I challenge anyone considering to downvote this response to actually answer how asking for the right to modify the software on the one phone in your possession--the one whose security features, if you really want to insist that this is about a security feature, only affects you--is even remotely comparable in an honest setting to "go[ing] to Google or Facebook and ask[ing] them to, say, turn off some key security features on their site".)

That certainly sounds pretty bad, but I've browsed through them, and while there have been some doozies, it's also not as dramatic as it seems on the surface.

First up, nearly half of this years priv esc bugs in Linux so far are specific to Android (and most of those involve things like nvidia drivers). That's serious, but not "somebody can get root on my server" serious.

Another handful of them are specific to some driver, some kernel module, or some kernel feature, that would only be used on a subset of systems. Still bad, but it does mean that at any given time, even systems running theoretically exploitable systems often won't be because the feature needed to exploit it isn't turned on and can only be turned on by root. For example, one of the high scoring vulnerabilities requires a user or process with CAP_NET_RAW capability. That has to be granted by root, and would presumably only be granted to trusted users and processes.

But, others are pretty scary and would be exploitable in a lot of cases. It's a reminder to stay on top of updates. And, also a reminder that the kernel is a huge surface area for attacks. It sometimes seems like a miracle that any of this stuff works at all.

I think the unfortunate truth is that "please restart your computer"-level stuff actually does solve whatever problem the customer is reporting enough that companies put value into that type of support.

If you're reading HN you probably don't need that level of support, but that's not to say there aren't customers who need their hand held to restart a computer.

Funny coincidence seeing this here: I just renewed my annual Dynalist Pro subscription today. I didn't realize it's already been a year since I switched from Workflowy!

For anyone who likes Workflowy but is looking for something with more ongoing development, Dynalist is a very nice alternative. And of course you can check out both products for free and see what you prefer.

Update: This seems like a Dynalist day for me. I just got an email from them that their "early bird" pricing for the Pro plan expires on July 15th and the price will go up. So this is a good time to check it out.
