I think it's a great conversation to have and one I've seen come up more and more.

I totally understand the inclination to capture as much as possible and have found myself wishing I had more photographs/videos/etc of certain things.

However, I think most of us are already past the point of useful amounts of capture. I definitely noticed it for myself when I realized I don't really ever go back and look at most of the pictures I take. When I do, it is almost always pictures of people that are gone. Even then, as the parent comment said, having one or two pictures from a time period or maybe one from a particular event is more than enough. Your mind fills in the details and that's awesome!

As far as the other side of things, I have definitely found myself spending more time trying to capture as much as possible (or capturing "just the right one") than actually enjoying the event.

I'm not saying don't take pictures. Far from it. I'm saying I don't think we have to try and preserve people via pictures. Because you can't.

Do you have any evidence that this was the specific reason they lost their common carrier argument?

Or are you baselessly asserting that?
Does every office need one? That's the main difference from 2D printing the way I see it - unless the printing process gets way better it will never catch on enough to warrant low prices. Then again, maybe they said the same about early printers, comparing them to offset press?

Despite the passage of time, is it any easier today for a small startup or individual developer to make a living from their open source product?

Thousands of developers make money building products or services for clients or customers using open source software. But what if the developer simply wants to charge a business for using their open source product?

The Free Software Foundation (FSF) says that you can sell your free software by charging for distribution [1] (for example via CD-ROMs). But while physical media may have made sense in an era of dial-up modems and low-bandwidth connections, no-one can realistically charge for distribution today - not least when so many projects are hosted for free on GitHub.

So what's the alternative if you aren't a large company? There's the dual-licencing approach (Red Hat). The open core approach (GitLab). There's also the option of charging for support only (probably the most unattractive and unappealing option for many developers). Or there's the Kickstarter or Patreon approach (e.g. Krita) which simply isn't a sustainable long-term solution.

For developers who want to support themselves with their open source product, it seems amazing that we have no licencing model for the following scenario:

I have an open source product. It will forever be open source. You are free to evaluate the software as long as you need to. If you are a business, you must pay a fee to use the software if you wish to continue using it after evaluation. You don't get more features for paying the fee: there are no closed-sourced extensions available for additional cost. There is no tracking of software usage - we rely on your goodwill to pay for the software if you use it for your business.

What, if anything, is unrealistic or unreasonable about this scenario? And do current open source licences support it?

I believe the prohibition on ex post facto laws applies only to criminalization of behavior that was previously lawful. That is, it would not apply to civil matters of any sort, and it also would not apply where immunity is effectively conferred—only where prior actions are made illegal.

Upon quick searching, it looks like scholars have debated the civil/criminal point:

I'm tempted to look at the "scam of flying pets" and think that instead the solution is to liberalize policies on allowing pets, with the potential for penalties for violators of the social order. The analogy that springs to mind is "medical" marijuana or "medical" alcohol during prohibition [1]. Without denying the genuine needs of some people, others "scammed" the system, finding doctors who would say that yes, you do indeed need a prescription for whatever it is that ails you. Many of the prescriptions were medically bogus, but the behavior itself isn't inherently socially harmful. Switching to a system where you punish bad behavior rather than the possibility of bad behavior has generally been well regarded in places where these substances have been legalized (opinions may vary, of course, but so far as I know, no state that has legalized recreational cannabis has seen serious pushes to recriminalize it), so why not do the same for pets.

If you had to put down a deposit to fly with a pet, but had it reimbursed assuming good behavior, then you could ding the people whose pets get into fights with service animals, defecate, etc, while allowing responsible pet owners freer movement.

Buffett had a good quote about it once that I can't find now, but essentially during most of your life you will be a net buyer of stocks. Only at the end, during your retirement, will you be a net seller and only then will you want high prices.

Until then, the less you pay for your stock purchases, the better your long term gains will be.

The evidence makes no sense. We're supposed to believe that Bitfinex printed Tethers and used them to buy Bitcoins on their exchange - whose on-exchange USD reserves aren't even backed by USDT and aren't meant to be[1] - and this somehow caused a price bubble that mainly seemed to be driven by GDAX/Coinbase judging from the price differences between the exchanges and trading volumes, even though they don't deal in Tether at all. Not only that, it's just too small - for comparison, the total amount of Tether printed as of the end of 2017 was about $1 billion, roughly the same as Coinbase's revenue from fees in 2017. (Another billion or so has been printed since, but that was all after the Bitcoin price peaked.)

There's some circumstantial evidence that they may or may not have been printing unbacked Tether to keep the price at parity, but that's a far cry from powering the Bitcoin bubble.

[1] They were sort of a Tether exchange in the sense that for a while it was the only way for most people to withdraw USD balances, but they only kept a relatively small amount of USDT on hand to cover withdrawals.
Sure. I would love to buy that RISC-V board. But 1000 USD is way too much. Anyway, it is not a bad start, e.g. exotic ARM dev boards are very expensive, too.

"if you have to choose between two then pick the solution that seems harder" seems like terrible advice. Productivity comes from avoiding wasted effort, so doing the harder thing would quite often make you less productive (https://codewithoutrules.com/2017/10/04/technical-skills-pro... talks about avoiding wasted work).

Different domains have different requirements, other comments suggest this is fine advice for sports.

Perhaps the original was "do the solution that will teach you the most"? But even then, there are cases where learning is not a goal.

"Do the thing you're most afraid of" has some caveats, presumably, like "where the actual worst case is not dying." Like, I'm afraid of being hit by a car if I run through a red light, so not planning on running red lights.

No one can have it all. Some things in life are just mutually exclusive. What about the men who work full time and miss out on spending time at home? Do they have it all? Of course not. Every hour spent at work is an hour not spent with family/friends.

I don't know why we always seem to treat earning less as being this universally terrible, bad thing whenever gender comes up. There is a lot more to life and jobs than just earning money. Work life balance, stress, danger, physical wear.

The general expectation for men seems to be: "Go get a good paying job". Obviously every family is different but where family economics allow I think woman generally have far more choice in terms of whether they stay home, work part time, work less stressful/demanding jobs than men do in today's society.

I've seen a lot of relationships/marriages where the man works a shitty backbreaking/dangerous and/or stressful jobs that pay well while the woman works part time, not at all or a much less stressful job that pays less. I'm sure the inverse does happen as well but from what I've seen it is much rarer.

These types of articles always frame earning less as being a negative for woman. In some cases I'm sure that is true. But what % of the gap is woman choosing to earn less because they have that choice?
So, the latest drop seems to be triggered by credit card companies blocking purchase of cryptocoins "'cuz volatile".

Am I missing something? Since when do CC companies get to decide where you use your card? I thought it worked the other way around — businesses decide whether or not they accept CCs.

Are there other examples of CC companies blocking (legal) purchases made by people with good credit history?

Maybe that's the goal of a compiler (though I'm not sure I agree), but that, to me, is somewhat subservient to language design and expressivity.

You can't really dismiss a language feature because an imagined implementation of the compiler would cause lots of small allocations. Just as one concrete example, Python has a special pool of tuples to optimize the case of iterating over key/value pairs in a dictionary (and likely only one tuple is used per for loop). Java does something similar-ish by relying on an Eden space in its generational garbage collector.

In Javascript, if it were the case small delimiter objects were used for promises and they proved to be a performance problem, I can imagine a couple of ways the interpreter could optimize that object out.

From the text of the Air Carrier Access Act [1]

> You are never required to accommodate certain unusual service animals (e.g., snakes, other reptiles, ferrets, rodents, and spiders) as service animals in the cabin. With respect to all other animals, including unusual or exotic animals that are presented as service animals (e.g., miniature horses, pigs, monkeys), as a carrier you must determine whether any factors preclude their traveling in the cabin as service animals (e.g., whether the animal is too large or heavy to be accommodated in the cabin, whether the animal would pose a direct threat to the health or safety of others, whether it would cause a significant disruption of cabin service, whether it would be prohibited from entering a foreign country that is the flight's destination). If no such factors preclude the animal from traveling in the cabin, you must permit it to do so. However, as a foreign carrier, you are not required to carry service animals other than dogs.

Is anyone else annoyed that airlines are required [2] to allow people to take an untrained emotional support pig on a flight unless they can show a specific reason why it shouldn't be allowed on (and the burden of proof seems to be on the airline)? Obviously, the way this law is written, it makes it a big hassle for the airlines to deny travel to these animals, especially if the person comes with documentation from a mental health professional (who they can find online to give them a letter for $99).

In the case of a highly trained service animal (think seeing eye dog or a dog trained to detect imminent seizures) I can understand why we allow them on. Those dogs are incredibly well trained. As I understand it, very few dogs have the demeanor to pass the training.

If you've got an animal travelling with you for emotional support reasons, we should have a similar requirement for training. If your animal isn't trained (and certified by a reputable organization) to behave around other people, why should an airline be forced to accommodate you bringing your animal into a confined and crowded space?

Our laws should force people claiming emotional support animals to have them be trained and certified to behave well in a public space (service animals, from what I've seen, already meet this standard) if airlines are going to be forced to let them fly for free.

[1] https://www.united.com/web/en-US/content/travel/specialneeds...

[2] As far as I know, there's nothing preventing an airline from allowing animals to fly for free, similar to how many hotels are pet friendly. Someone could open an airline that's pet friendly and I'm sure there's a niche market for it. But in my mind, unless there's a very compelling reason, we shouldn't force airlines to allow animals on board for free. In my mind, highly trained service animals have a compelling enough reason to force airlines to allow them on board. Untrained emotional support animals don't.
Is there anything similar for non-destructive audio production except for Ecasound [1], Nama [2], Csound or SoX?

There was an interesting paper about SPED, a sound file editor [3], but I'm afraid this was just a proposal. And AudioRegent [4], and a few links, somewhere, to using makefiles in audio production, but I've lost track on these.

A quote from the SPED paper:

"The editor should be usable without graphical user
interface or it should not make any assumptions about
it.
This feature may seem strange if we think of the modern
computer based editing systems which basically always
have some kind of graphical user interface. On the other
hand when comparing to analogue tape splicing one
might ask how mandatory the graphical user interface
really is."

I've been thinking that a CLI audio editor (slicer, re-organizer) with a syntax similar to ed or sam [5] would be cool to experiment with. Imagine a CLI non-destructive digital audio editor built on top of a RPi or similar, running headless, only needing a tiny conrtol panel with a few buttons; maybe hooked to a tiny e-ink display for emergencies.

(Yep, love sound editing; tired of screens or laptops in bags. I would love an "iPod Nano of non-destructive digital audio editing", but I am not the man to build one myself.)

Well, it is connected because it has to do with cloud flare being a common carrier or not.

If cloud flare hadn't effectively given up its status as a common carrier, by blocking stormfront, maybe it would have been able to defend itself from the sci-hub court order.

Cloudflare being forced to take down content in the future is exactly what people predicted when they decided to give up their status as a common carrier.
It’s an interesting story nonetheless- I’d vaguely heard the story and was interested to read some details.

I was talking about making it accepted that people, no matter the gender, take time off after birth of a child.

If one parent decides to stay at home for years, we are not talking about parental leave anymore. And of course everybody should be free to make that decision. But nobody should be forced to decide one or the other way because of gender-specific roles or a lack of affordable daycare.

And finally I believe that, by forcing everyone to think about how to accommodate parents in work life, we, as a society, will find solutions that can benefit all.
Correct. Open Source as an informal concept is how almost all software used to work. It was folk like Bill Gates who saw an opportunity to make money by making it proprietary.

Also, some of the formal concepts are more than 20 years old - e.g. Free Software: the precursors of GPL-style copyleft go back to the mid-late 1980s (GPL v1 was published 29 years ago this month).
