IANAL, but have dealt with ediscovery.

Generally speaking you have latitude to do what you normally do within a medium. If you routinely delete mail every quarter, that’s ok. If you routinely record phone calls that’s ok. But there is no requirement to talk or write.

Once you reasonably suspect that you are in the scope of an investigation or litigation, you need to take steps to preserve relevant things. Guidance from counsel is a good idea.

Discovery is a double edged sword. Moving deliberative activity to phone calls or meetings doesn’t mean there is no record of the encounter. To the contrary, one or more parties are probably taking notes that align with their perceptions. (And self interest!) It all depends on the situation.

I've never used the Microsoft fonts on Linux, so maybe I'm completely misinterpreting your question, but if it's just a case of you wanting to know names of Microsoft fonts:

The classics:

- Times New Roman (Serif)

- Arial (Sans)

- Lucida Console (Mono)

ClearType fonts:

- Calibri (Sans; the default font in MS Office 2007 onwards)

- Constantia (Serif)

- Corbel (Sans)

- Cambria (Serif)

- Candara (Sans)

- Consolas (Mono)

And then they also use the Segoe family of fonts a lot in the Windows UI.

As for what (non-Microsoft) font I use, this one: https://mozilla.github.io/Fira/ (Sans and Mono)

Yes, there are a lot of dimensions, hence Linux falling in multiple categories. It was started by an individual, but many of the current contributions are by people who are paid to work on it.

The story isn't simple for any big/successful project I can think of:

1) Started by a company for profit, vs. an individual for fun, or maybe profit.

2) Where the current commits come from, regardless of how the project started (contributor is paid or not paid)

I didn't mean to suggest that "free" and "commercial contribution" are mutually exclusive. The distinction I meant is whether the contributor is part of an organization that makes money from the software.

3) Whether the project was forked. WebKit was forked, LLVM was shepherded by Apple into a huge project, but Apple didn't start it. CyanogenMod was forked the other way (from a company to a commercial effort), and then turned back into a different company.

Additionally, some people might start a company to make open source software. And some employees might be paid more making proprietary software, but choose to work somewhere where they can work on open source.

So yes it's very complicated. This quote:

It is not charity work, any more than they charitably file taxes.

isn't useful, except for the very small number of people who think that "open source == free == no profit".

You're afraid the code you write for an employer might be used by an evil company. We could apply the same argument to taxes. The taxes you pay may help fund actions that you believe are morally reprehensible. To a large extent, these things are beyond your control, and by overanalyzing you're simply limiting yourself.

So what I am saying is at this point, do not worry about all these things. Keep up the side-projects, and if you do that over the long-term, you may one day find yourself in a situation where you have the freedom to dedicate your efforts to what you find meaningful.

In the cities with massive housing shortages I'm aware of, everyone -- NIMBY and YIMBY alike -- would seize the non-primary houses of the rich (or at least tax the shit out of them) if they could.

The problem with this, of course, is that it involves picking an economic fight against rich people, the people who win economic fights.

Anyway. A lot of zoning policy is set by people who claim to be middle-class but own fabulously valuable property. They could become rich at any moment they choose because they are lucky enough to live in a home that has become worth about $3 million due to the housing shortage. It's in their interest, of course, to stay where they are and keep the housing shortage going until their house is worth $4 million.

If we had a land value tax, maybe people would prefer to have a sensible rate of development that kept their home price stable. But accidentally-wealthy homeowners are a huge voting demographic, on top of the fact that blatantly rich people have a lot of political influence. So the land value tax is politically infeasible.
We are, in fact, fairly sure it isn't: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_constant
I rent my apartment. I know that I might have to move. The people that own the building might want to do something else with it and since they own it that's their choice.

Single family homeowners own their own homes. It can't get sold out from underneath them. But they don't own the plots next store or across the street. If their happiness with their living situation is dependent on those plots having the same buildings on them then they need to buy those plots too. Then they get to decide what happens to them.

A homeowner NIMBYite is exactly the same as a renter that agitates for imposing rent control.

Intuitively I'd think it's different for cash and goods. A stolen TV used in a barter transaction show of be returned. A dollar bill probably not. But 100k cash? Grey area? if you accept a dollar you can't reasonably be expected to do due diligence on it. But a large sum maybe.

(bit of history on that Tide Prediction Machine)

You can read the paper underlying the mathematics of tidal computation including pictures and description here:

I worked on a Fortran program which I'm pretty sure is the direct descendant of this paper and the analog computer.

It originated in 1967 and was still used in the mid 1990s.
And probably still is used.

The other day I went to a small restaurant and paid for my order with a debit card.

A minute or two after leaving I got an email on my personal Gmail thanking me for my patronage, even though I had never been there before, and I hadn't offered my email...

Except while I had been next door at a meetup and used their Wi-Fi. I guess they had the hotspot setup to send an email after you left the network.

Gave me a bit of a spook thinking a small restaurant would go as far as to look get my email based on my card information, but it was still an unwelcome use of my email.

Not only did they send that email, but they subscribed me to their mailing list without any indication on the capture site.
It’s about typical practices. Most people don’t record phone calls, so it’s reasonable to not record them.

If you normally delete email, that’s ok until there is litigation.

It's a rigorous result if you define it as an analytic continuation of the Riemann zeta function defined in the normal way.

Lots of data, but not much information. Before, tech books were an oasis because there wasn't much of anything anywhere. Now it is the opposite, too much of everything everywhere, I need someone to condense it down into a form I can use.
I'm always a bit skeptical of this argument as a rationale for FOSS.

Of course, publishing your source code does make it a lot easier for outsiders to audit your software, but how many people actually do? Linux might be an exception because so many organizations build drivers and distributions for it (there are always people digging through the internals and likewise, hackers/security consultants looking for opportunities), but I suspect for most open source projects (even the big ones), there are way fewer people auditing them than comments like this would lead you to believe.

How many people do you think are digging through and critically analyzing Django/Node/Rails/Docker/OpenSSL/network drivers/etc? There's a mindblowing amount of code behind any application, and as developers/users, we tend to trust strength in numbers - people are using it, so it must be fine. But in practice, I wonder how much the bystander effect counteracts this intuition.
I would say for the company, there is a negative ROI regardless of location; but it would be nice to see companies build or rent work centers and whatnot rather than force all national employees into a single location.

Of course that costs more AND yields less available face-to-face communication in that it limits that communication to employees in the satellite office.

Without remoting, for the entire organization, it gets a lot more expensive and most of the cost is deferred to the employees who have to do the moving and the transportation and the time loss, etc.
I guess its closer to stealing from the register and leaving a lottery ticket that happen to be a winner. Still seems perfectly convictable to me.

My real-world use case is a hypervisor. That turns out to be some pretty wild code. Intel's VMX documentation is not well-organized or complete, processor models vary, the hardware has bugs, and some things we have to do aren't even officially supported by Intel. We have to mess with page tables. We have a huge block of assembly code. It all has to run perfectly.

Or to phrase this differently, physicists do not really understand what they are doing. They do some operation because it sometimes happens to produce results that match some physical experiments that they are trying to model. Their derivation rules are due to habit (in the sense of Hume), not due to inference or logic.

Almost certainly, a rigorous formulation will come about later and explain when these derivations should actually hold (rather than just assuming they hold "whenever necessary").

This is actually how a lot of mathematics works: researchers notice some relationship empirically, which gives some intuition and suggests some hypothesis, and then the serious mathematical work is trying to determine exactly what assumptions are necessary and proving it.

>To wit: cry me a river. Build those homes.

Why not just build a massive cluster of skyscrapers and put all the people who want cheap rent there? It would cause much less impact on the existing homeowners at large. To me that is a much more equitable solution for both parties.

Personally, I would say if you can't afford to live there, don't. There are plenty of places to live and many people do.
Sorta.

When we lived in the city I had to file a permit to fix my 3' high fence. Pay something like $100 just to have "permission" to start working on something that was rotting and falling over. I don't really consider that "owning".

Ditto zoning and a bunch of other things. When we had the chance we moved out to the country so we could use our land how we wanted without having to live in the covenants of what the city lays down(for instance one of the local towns doesn't allow beekeeping, regardless of plot size).

I totally understand that there's a place for high density living and that some people enjoy that life. However when you see rapid change in these tech centers understand that are some people didn't sign up for that when it came around.

[edit]

I should add that I really wish more companies would support remote work. It both solves the housing issue and lets people live in the areas that fit their lifestyle better.
I don't think it's controversial that NIMBYism is bad for society. It is controversial that society, rather than local or hyper-local (block-level) residents, should write zoning policy.

Hmm from the response to my comment I did not articulate my point very well, I will try again, yes everything this article says is true but what is the point?

Just because you can tell that a rat has a different set of genes than its brothers doesn't make a news story, unless you have a different adjenda in dividing a comunity, check out citylab dot Com with "politics" and then maybe you will get my original point.
Whenever people fantasize about some mysterious fourth "regional" level of government in the Bay Area, it is always assumed that this plays to their advantage...that someone from San Francisco will hold sway over the suburbs and impose their will.

But San Jose is larger by population...if you propose that this same layer of government instead be centered in San Jose, all of a sudden people lose interest.

If three levels of government can't get anything done, how will four help?

In any case this "regional" government already exists in the form of transit agencies, utilities, waste and water districts, etc....I see very few people clamoring to give the bureaucrats of BART any more power.
