That is exactly what I would avoid. Don't add any special features to it (vote for features, faster support responses) because that will take time from normal development. Just clearly state: "This software cost x$. And if you love it so much that you would pay double the price then you are free to do so."
You could buy some additional licenses and donate them to someone.
I wonder how much of the perf/feature diff is due to lack of simd or threads? I don't even know if OpenCV uses either (I'd be surprised if they didn't), but both features are coming to WebAssembly.
I bet that in the near future, a modest house will cost $20 million, Bitcoin will be $100K per coin and Facebook will be a $10 trillion company

One of these things is not like the other.
Distribution. Redis, rabbitmq, and celary are all used to share state or messages across many servers. Unless you can run the entirety of an app like facebook on a single machine then you will, at some point, have to run several instances of the same application.

Micro services also utilize these databases and frameworks.
I remember a time when a company would open a campus, and provide cheap housing rental or purchase but only to employees.

> Building Caddy from source and using it in your infrastructure requires no disclosure according to Apache 2.

You have to follow the terms of the license whenever you distribute it to someone. Unless you are a single-person shop, that might include employees who have access to the binaries but aren't actually interested in the source. You still have to appropriately disclose changes and keep the attribution notices.

You don't have to notify users who just access the server over the network, but the statement isn't factually incorrect: Apache 2.0 still applies.
Phew, you have some courage, questioning the foundations of modern Mathematics in a place like this. But I can relate to your concerns about Cantor's argument. When I first heard it, it also felt artificial and unconvincing to me.

What helped me (as with many proofs and concepts in Math) was an image, a visual metaphor if you like.

Imagine a very, very large paper on which you place infinitely many dots in a grid. That's the infinity you were referring to, the infinity of a for-loop, discrete infinity. Here's the trick: you can always add more dots, say by making the distance between grid points half as small, which would quadruple the number of dots in your grid. But no matter how many dots you place on the paper, ho matter how fine your grid, there will always be holes (imagine "zooming in" on a square of four grid points). In fact, most of the paper will be empty!

The other kind of infinity, continuous infinity, does not have any holes. Every spot is covered. You could not add any grid point, because the whole paper itself is painted.

I'm not a "full-time Mathematician", so this view may be entirely wrong. But it helped me understand and appreciate Cantor. Perhaps it did the same for you.

Cheers!

It's western policy to prevent any unified arab state to emerge from the middle east.

a lot of buyers are coming in with 500k+ of equity, sometimes over a million dollars, sometimes ALL CASH because they liquidated a boatload of stock and are now upgrading their living situation.

your mortgage numbers are way higher than reality. another concern is property taxes, but even at 2.5M, that's less than 30k/year in property taxes -- a working power couple or one single high earner can easily pay that. and in 20 years, 30k/year will have less than half the real value.

i think someone leveraging themselves into a 5-figure/month mortgage is the exception, not the rule.

tl;dr people are rich these days. my real concern is social unrest because of these insane imbalances in wealth distribution.
Interesting. I've heard people talk a lot about foreign all-cash buyers coming in and driving up prices. But if a non-contingent cash offer for asking price cannot be refused, then why would prices be driven up? Wouldn't these buyers just offer the asking price and save hundreds of thousands?

I'm curious to know more about how the non-discrimination laws apply here, since I know there definitely are laws, but if they are as blunt as described, then we'd expect to see more cash-offers-for-asking-price around here.
The proxy war against Russia is about oil. The US and its allies Saudi Arabia and Qatar want the Trans Arabian Pipeline to run through Syria. Russia is financially dependent on its oil and natural gas deliveries to Europe. If the US had been able to overthrow Assad they would have been able to supply Europe's energy needs from the Arabian peninsula and weaken Russia. This is old news, really. These kind of energy politics have been going on since the 50's. (https://www.ecowatch.com/syria-another-pipeline-war-18821805...) and have shown no sign of stopping (https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/06/world/europe/us-seeks-to-...)
Thing is, software unlike say a book or a movie has sometimes significant maintenance costs. There are always bugs to be fixed, security vulnerabilities are found, third-party libraries need to be upgraded and so on.

The danger of the one-off model is that it sometimes creates the wrong incentives. Features and even bug fixes get pushed into newer versions, which may even delay their release until there's enough of them to justify a new version.

A good example of this going awry is the RAW file processing for Photoshop (pre-subscription). Newer cameras would get added to new versions of the Camera Raw plugin but you needed a new version of Photoshop to use the newer Camera Raw versions.

I honestly don't mind the subscription model and I think Jetbrains has about the best one of all: you get constant acess to upgrades. When you choose to stop subscribing, that simply locks in the latest version you can use (ie you don't lose access entirely).

The problem is many companies price subscriptions wrong. They say "our software costs $600 so we should charge $50/month". Because, you know, recouping that cost in a year is somehow reasonable.
Maybe it is because I am not from that area, but I just don't see how anyone can justify that as a reasonable investment. The house prices have to come down eventually right? A house like that in the DC suburbs (depending on exact commute time) is probably only worth 10-15% that. Something about those prices has to normalize eventually, and when it happens the value tanks. You lose a million dollars, and possibly have to take a big credit hit for short selling the house....or hold it even longer and lose even more money. What am I missing? Why do people do it?

During the second world war, it was way above 35%. Gender segregation isn't some instant state that as soon the war ends switches from 100% women to 100% men. Nothing is that black and white.

Effects from wars are neither eternal nor instant. In economy people are still saying that we are seeing ripples from the world war 2, but at some point those ripple effects will be too small to be relevant. It is relevant to explain the economy during the 1960, somewhat for 1980, but less so for 2017.

To claim that a profession born out of war isn't effect by war politics seems odd.
oh please, save your hyperbolics. the US president went to bat for a group of white supremacists a couple weeks ago, so I think we have bigger problems than bored college kids and an overturned trashcan in Berkeley
You need to write down the 1-1 correspondence you are proposing. Don't describe it in words, actually start writing the natural numbers in one column and the corresponding reals in the other. When you do this, you will find either that the 1-1 correspondence that you are envisioning doesn't actually work (i.e., it isn't 1-1), or that it does work ... but in that case, Cantor's diagonalization argument can be applied to it.
Price is a big, but not the only factor when choosing a buyer. The highest priced bid doesn't always get the house. Factors such as inspection contingencies, settlement dates, financing, what the buyer plans to do with the house, etc all play a role in the transaction. If a person wants to buy your house and tear it down, you should not be obligated to sell.
I do get that, 2.5M for that plot is still a large amount of money.

The point is that even a 3.5M for the new house will be a lot, but by virtue of it's location and salaries at Apple it's justifiable
Hahahahahahah I can't argue with you there.

It's a shame that a lot of these jurisdictions are also "where the jobs are".

Fortunately, we are much more likely to be affected by so many other dangerous things rather than home invasion that there's just many things to be anxious about ^.^
In France, it doesn't even have to be a cash offer (although it mustn't have any contingencies beyond "buyer will get a loan"). This is mostly because most people in France don't have that kind of cash lying around, so if you only accept cash offers the rule applies to almost no one.

Of course, sellers prefer an asking price offer in cash, rather than with a loan that might be denied, so there's usually some (illegal) leeway if offers are received by mail. If you intend to make an offer contingent on a loan, make sure you print out the offer and bring it with you, and have the seller sign your copy. This lets you answer "There was another offer before you" with "That's not what it says on the paper you signed".
Agreed-- sounds fishy to me, too. I'm not a lawyer. I'm not a licensed real estate sales agent in my locality either, but I did complete a course of training to that end. I never heard such a thing. If a seller were discriminating against a protected class in refusing such an offer that would be illegal. Holding-out for a better offer (whatever that memans) however, AFAIK, the seller's prerogative so long as they're not discriminating against a protected class.

It would be really nice if many newer languages didn't act like they existed in a vacuum and no prior art existed. Package management was by no means new at the point NPM was being developed, and if they didn't have enough people with experience with the nasty edge cases package managers in other languages had discovered, it would have been trivial to solicit advice from the architects of the package systems for other languages. If there's one thing software engineers love, it's talking about crazy situations where nobody considered this weird edge case and how they had to scramble to fix it (I know I do).

I think we've thankfully gotten to a spot where there's enough users and developers of modern programming languages with experience in other languages that we're seeing good cross-pollination at the language design level (e.g. async/await is quickly being adopted by many languages as either a core feature or through a library that's popular). That just doesn't seem to have happened yet with the architecture around the languages yet.
I keep having to point out that assuming this is built on existing infra, FaceID is just the username. Everything is end-to-end encrypted. You can't get the data onto a new device the first time without the encryption key which Apple doesn't have.

You need your iCloud login/password and also (I think) an existing device which has the key to approve the request.

This is literally no different than how it works exactly today when restoring an iCloud backup onto a new phone, except imagine it can happen as a polyfill so it looks instantaneous instead of the 2-4 hours it seems to take today.
I don't think of Sweden as a country that lacks land.

What frustrated me was that I'd already turned on the issue tracker and created an issue to monitor progress on removing links and references to Caddy.
A searchable database of fake news: EU vs. DISINFORMATION
I get that a project want to sell licenses - but as a sibling comment states, Caddy appears to no longer be Free software, breaking freedom 1 (modify), 3 (distribute modified copies).

[ed: it appears I misunderstood, only the binaries are under eula - so Caddy is in the (somewhat) unique position of distributing non-free binaries and Free source code. Kind of like a gpled iOS program I guess.]

In addition, I'd consider this a (small) security vulnerability: the presence of the ad header effectively screams Caddy to fingerprinting tools. There's a reason apache and friends have a "prod" header config/setting.

[ed: seems a bit cruel to force the most resourceresource-limited users to advertise details about their stack; presumably those that know enough to compile themselves might also have more resources to keep up to date on security issues etc]
As a former operations manager in multiple Amazon warehouses I completely agree. Out of all of the "Pathways" managers I worked with, maybe 10% could effectively manage their people, shift, and metrics. Most hid behind their laptop and prayed that someone else would take care of the "hard" problems like talking to someone not hitting their rate or making quality errors. Their "deep analytics" knowledge meant nothing when running an operation.
How to Grow a User Group, the Remix
That's about the stage this kind of stuff is at. Nothing's firm enough for any action to actually happen... yet. But it's interesting that there are significant forces on both the Left and Right starting to call for this. Don't expect any concrete, coherent policy proposals yet, this is just a sign that this is more likely to happen in the future. Do expect wild proclamations and contradictory, nonsensical policies proposed. That's the seeds from which new political movements are born and their platforms are built from.

> as you can#'t make gains just by sitting on the medium of exchange

So instead they speculate on assets like commodities and energy (excluded from core inflation) and real-estate. How is that any better?

> And yes, inflationary currencies encourage investment

You can't encourage investment without encouraging savings. What you end up with is too much money going after too few assets. This is why interest rates are so important. Too high and the market bubbles, too low and the market tanks.

For inflationary currencies, you have a group of dudes who declare what the rate should be. That to me is the weakest part of this whole scheme.

Instead of a council of wizards declaring the interest rate, market money works more like a feedback loop - with the rates being set by supply and demand.

The best part of market money is, instead of banks being allowed to loan out printed money - loans have to come from people who save and defer consumption.
Exactly. I've heard raving reviews of how amazing Caddy is, but as I said earlier in this thread, the threat of filing trademark violations before even giving time for intent to be reasonably argued feels like a power play to scare the forks. It also makes their "We love Open Source!" claims feel much less genuine.

I'm not excited about it as much anymore :\
'slightly' is a serious understatement
You get promoted once at a place like Google or Apple after 4 years and you're making like 250k/yr (as a software person). 300-350k is easily attainable.

I think there's a lot of people on HN who are unaware of how high comp is at the big 4/5 tech employers.
I agree, this statement seems like the most interesting one in the essay.

It reminds me of expected value calculations: extremely low probability events of tremendously high impact could actually out-rate moderately probable events of moderate impact in terms of how concerned you should be with them. Assigning meaningful probabilities and impact values can be tricky though, which adds a whole layer of complexity and hand-waving to the problem.

This is where discussions of nuclear war, strong AI, nazi-oriented political resurgences, geothermal storms, epidemics, etc. can really go off the rails in my opinion: two people can separately evaluate "worst-case scenario" as very different realities, assigning very different intuited impact-values, and also assign very different probability values. Even if they think about these things from an expected-value perspective, a discussion between them becomes at least a 2-variable linear equation, and the odds of even understanding each other are stretched, let alone finding the same x and y and agreeing upon what that means for the actions we should take in response.

Graham's point here on the positive side though is a refreshing step outside of that domain. An idea recycled, if broadly applicable enough, only needs a hint of novelty. It gives me some hope for being able to come up with useful things.

"This year, UNICEF "said it has verified at least 38 attacks on schools around Syria, whether in government-held areas or rebel-controlled territory. Before Wednesday's attack, 32 children were killed in 2016 in attacks on schools," as the group's regional chief of communication, Juliette Touma, told The Associated Press.

"A total of 60 attacks were recorded on schools in 2015," she told the AP, adding that 1 in 3 schools in the country have been rendered unusable by the conflict."

"At least 96 children have been killed and 223 injured in eastern Aleppo in the past week, UNICEF said Thursday, with some left to die on the floor of hospitals due to lack of medical supplies. Syrian and Russian forces have been bombarding rebel-held areas of the city for five straight days in what has been described as the most intense bombing campaign to hit the city since the war in Syria started six years ago."

I do not like the idea of "public utilities." However, I also don't like the size of the current players.

The market works best when anti-trust has power. I love the products that some of these companies make. However, I believe that people should always have a realistic choice. The power should be with the individual.

Because of the value of data & information today, I think that anti-trust should be applied horizontally in addition to its traditional vertical use cases. I get that horizontal integration reduces a lot of friction but at this point it feels like I have to pick a team.

Correct. Antebellum houses are surprisingly comfortable. The ceilings are twelve feet high, and the houses are one room wide with massive windows on both sides. And the walls are often brick, stone, and/or plaster, which gets cool at night and stays cool for much of the day.

The old plantation house on my family's farm is 120 feet long and only 20 feet wide. It's situated on the top of the highest hill for a mile in any direction, and oriented precisely to the prevailing winds. Brick foundation, horsehair plaster walls, and a detached summer kitchen.
Most things are in git so work is local; for servers where I have ssh/sftp access I use Transmit to locally edit files using Sublime. It's usually seamless, unless you switch network connections in the middle of a save.

But a lot of the time, I am running vim on the remote server... no simple substitute unless you install some sort of channel to be able to edit locally, or have it available via SFTP (especially with sudo, that's often not possible).
My main concern with the web is its mutability. If we had a protocol that considered changes versions, we'd be creating a much saner store of information for future generations.
I have a family and I have to eat, so give me your money and I'll give you a copy of VSCode that I worked on. I'll also give you the source code with that.
