I agree with your problem statement. I just don't agree with your approach. OSCC wouldn't be a grant making organization and it doesn't need professional accountants (although that would be helpful). It would be a licensing and revenue sharing pass through. Someone wants to use Axiom in a commercial context? Great! Tell them to buy a OSCC subscription. The revenue will flow to you, but you don't have to handle accounting or applying for grants or any other crap.
Thanks for doing this.
So, why newsletters? Why not RSS?

Clearly Axios and others are showing that email is better. Why do you think this is? How do you think this will develop in future?
This would not distinguish whether behavior tracking to algorithmically personalize ads ends up being better than just naive ads based on page-level content or other data unrelated a person or the person's behavior.

What you're describing for non-mainstream sellers is just gains from internet-scale distribution platforms, whether it's Facebook or Reddit or whatever. It lets the little guy reach lots of people on a much smaller ad budget because of the distribution technology and a platform's ability to grow a large network of users.

Whatever benefit there is might have nothing to do with Facebook (or any specific company) and have nothing to do with tracking users to target ads at them.

It might just be "the internet is a big lever" that lets smaller sellers more easily reach people generally.

That might be argument that ads, in general, can be valuable on Facebook. But it might be the case that the extra effort of personalizing them does not add further value, while it does have downsides with data privacy, tracking, unwanted ads, etc.

Night Light works system-wide for me, including the lock screen. Samsung Chromebook Plus, single user, stable channel. If yours is bugged, perhaps setting a dark wallpaper background might help mitigate the issue?

I don't know, because I never used Gnome much, and have avoided Gnome3 like the plague. Fedora is very much a Gnome-centric distro, so of course it's going to be like what you say.

At home, I use KDE, so of course they're not going to have system utilities binding to GTK. KDE is Qt-centric, so most stuff there is most likely in Qt-flavored C++. Xfce is GTK, but it's known to be fast (I use it at work and it's quick), so I seriously doubt it has system utilities in Python.

Honestly, I think all your complaints are really about Gnome3.
Most of us had family outside of our area code which meant large bills if we wanted to talk to them on a regular basis.

Yes, this is definitely a possibility - a drug can make a patient worse. Moreover, this is the case even with approved drugs, and with any medical care in general - medical error is third major cause of death in the US, just behind cancer and heart disease.

Thus, it is completely unreasonable to say that because occasionally there could be drugs that are harmful, patients should be denied right to try them, especially if their only alternative is literally dying. It's like saying because medical care could "make things worse", we should ban doctors and medicine. Nobody is insane enough to propose this, but apparently there is a lot of people who are ready to say "because there's one drug that proved harmful we should let people die but not allow them to try other drugs that might be somewhat risky". Equally insane, IMO.
I've followed this company carefully since its start and also know the founder when he used to work at Facebook. He's a talented PM.

I'm always curious how this company will truly scale? Having this club at nightclub and bars is cool but what's next? How is it going to deal with multiple competitors coming out with "better" drinks?
The alternative to high quality scientific data determining what drugs patients choose is corporate marketing efforts determining what drugs patients get.

The FDA restricts "snake oil" sales by requiring products be marketed based on good data. Remove that requirement and patients will be bombarded by marketers and salespeople peddling exaggerated claims to get at the potentially lucrative right to sell a drug

There are many scenarios where the founder is less than $8 million though, even on paper. The article doesn't give details about what % of the company Lee still owns or what their balance sheet or margins look like.

Based on that article, we don't actually know if Lee has assets worth $1 million. This is all before even bringing up how liquid he is.

WhatsApp didn’t have end-to-end encryption when they were using the subscription model though.
I've thought about this a little bit lately as well and do see some value in it.
Maybe one way to get around the issue of needing to be deeply familiar with the client's codebase is to first just set up the testing infrastructure for them. This is easy enough.
From there you could add basic unit test examples and then do training sessions with the team until they mostly understand the concepts themselves and are able to take it over. The client could ask you back in a few months to check up on things and make any corrections allowing you to move on to help another client/team in the meantime.
Side note: Isn't this the impetus behind Stripe Atlas? It at least allows you to have many of the necessary banking and management functions right off the bat.
Right, being able to talk to anyone in the world for free is a HUGE improvement.
I’m a bit guilty of confusing the two, as well.

That's $150/mo before you even launch a single worker tho.

I don't know about you, but I'd personally rather pay the $5 if I don't need a serious cluster yet. How much in actual absolute dollars do you think this is going to cost you, just in order to figure out exactly how it works, and what other AWS widgets you'll also need to pay for in order to use it effectively?

I am a human, basically looking for a stepping stone on some actual cloud to land on that is comparable to Minikube, and this sure isn't it.
I appreciate the sentiment.

What was the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled? One tries to use terms like "false flag" sparingly, not because they aren't a real thing but because of the connotations you cite. They must be mentioned occasionally, however, if the world is ever to improve. Some people don't believe that CIA topples democratically elected governments. Some people don't believe that FBI harasses and eliminates political enemies. Some people believe that voluntarily going to war on the other side of the planet is ever a reasonable response to events on the other side of the planet.

Our news media has already paid all the attention to the alleged Syrian chemical attacks and alleged UK poisoning "victim" (seriously, now we're supposed to empathize with GRU spies?) that it will ever pay. Nothing more "reputable" will ever be said about these events; they have expired as useful props. Humans suffer when their memories are poor. It is God's work, to inspire memory. The 17th time we're asked to invade a nation for nebulous "human rights" reasons, enough of us might remember the previous 16 times that we're inspired to put our feet down.

One doubts thread parent is among those who can learn anyway, beginning as he did with such despicable slurs against an American hero. If we squint we can see standing behind him (puppet arms run up his ass) the ghosts of all the bastards who have ever done awful things in darkness, venting their spleen at those who would let in the sunlight. They have hated Hersh for half a century, and they have enough influence that HN randoms they haven't even heard of, are parroting their noxious propaganda.

A lot of people wind up chasing that magic later without success. Don't squander the opportunity. Prepare yourself well

Hear, hear, this is solid advice. How I'd wish somebody would have told me that when starting with all that magic. Problem still being: I likely wouldn't have listened anyway, thanks youth for screwing me over again :P So looking back what I'd really wish now is that I would have waited until I was somewhat more adult and wise, and would have properly prepared myself.. Not that I'm not happy with the good side of what the experiences teached me, but in hindsight I could have avoided much of the bad side of it.
> More generally speaking, I think people model positive and negative personality traits to balance out. Like a fixed skill cap in an RPG. 10 points on charisma means you have to be lacking in some other field. I don't believe this to be true in the real world.

This reminds me a lot of the stereotypes about nerds and jocks in TV shows and films, or the articles online about why nerds are unpopular. You can definitely see an assumption that 'popularity' or 'attractiveness' is somehow negatively correlated with 'intelligence' or 'being a nice person'. Half of the school tropes on TV Tropes seems to be based on that one.

That said, from my experience (anecdotal I know) and what I've heard from others, it seems the correlation between introversion/extroversion and being better/worse at various things is basically non existent. There are as many unskilled introverts and 'nerd' type individuals as there are extrovert ones, and vice versa.
Another pretty harmful potential downside of "right to try" is that while FDA may no longer hold as much sway, payers will still be gatekeepers. Payers will decide what to pay based on evidence and will not pay for drugs with little evidence to support their effectiveness. So patients will be stuck with the costs, and end up paying more than they do now

There is precedent for this in the world of molecular diagnostics. Certain tests can be marketed without FDA approval. However few companies are successful because insurers wont pay and patients wont pay enough

Do you think management nodes are free? Master nodes need to run etcd+kube api. These master nodes are multi region available with HA configured, which will be expensive even if you use smaller instances yourself. Google might be free but if you are already in AWS and do not want to manage Kubernetes masters at all and treat your worker nodes like cattle, it is a very nice and enough solution.

What integration do you need? The good thing about EKS is that it is CNCF Conformant Kubernetes, meaning anything works with upstream Kubernetes works here, including ingress controllers that already work with both ALB and ELB+Nginx.

I am not defending Amazon, most of their managed services suck and very slow, but both preview and GA experience of EKS was great and enough for me.
Why would having a full-time job be a disqualifier for trying magic mushrooms? When I tried them I was employed, and had responsibilities - albeit "light" ones, bills and rent and such. I was also living with my long-term girlfriend who would become my spouse.

I don't really understand why any of the things you mention, except anxiety and negative things in life, would be a disqualifier.
I know this is a huge oversimplification, but the idea that consciousness is but a 'disease' is interesting, to say the least!
I'm torn on this one. One the one hand I would love that extra privacy.

On the other, I really value knowing if someone is in the stall next to me and how many people are in the bathroom. If the stalls extend to the ground how am I supposed to scan for legs? Someone could be hiding in there waiting to frighten me! I cannot use the bathroom until everyone has left it. Just how am I supposed to verify that some quick-footed coworker hasn't made their way in during someone's loud flush?

I cannot stomach this game of chance.
> heavy branching and locks is exactly the things which make system less scalable, in all dimensions like devs number, repo size, parallel product versions being developed etc.

It's not a contradiction. Those things scaled just fine for decades of software development. They aren't "nice", aren't "fun", but they are a scaling solution.

The Windows team used Source Depot ("Perforce") for something like 30+ years, at the scale of the Windows team. There are companies and repositories in the wild in Fortune Xty companies with equally old, equally "scaled" repositories in classic, ugly centralized lock-based repositories.

You and I may not want to work on any of those repositories, but they absolutely scaled in historic fact for a scale that still dwarfs the lifespan of git.

You may confusing workflow flexibility with scalability? Command-and-control workflows are very scalable, but not very flexible. Distributed workflows are very scalable, and very flexible, when built right.

The Windows team wanted a break from classic Waterfall and Command-and-Control workflows. They knew how to scale those and had scaled them successfully for many years. They used the change in source control as an opportunity to change workflows.

TFVC could have done the job if they still wanted that workflow (presumably better than the hodgepodge of very old Perforce code and Perl scripts that was Source Depot, that had "scaled" for decades).

There are still companies and developers happy with that workflow.

The interesting part is that Microsoft wanted "something like git", that enabled those new workflows, but that scaled to what they were already doing in centralized repositories with Windows. Instead of investing in a Distributed-TFS, they decided to just use git, and they put a lot of effort into performance tuning to git which was contributed upstream and which we are all benefiting from now. Yes, they also built a simple optional plugin (GVFS) that is itself open source, and built on simple open REST standards. It's pretty much the exact opposite of building "their own Clearcase" or whatever; they didn't build a D-TFVC for their needs, they contributed directly to the open source one in an open way, exactly as you would want them to.
Do you have any examples or a resource with some of the best ones?

The majority of the courses that utilize JupyterHub at the moment involve some kind of stats work. They use JupyterHub to ease people with little technical experience into using stats libraries and coding generally, with the aim of giving them a high-level knowledge of CS principles and techniques.

An exception would be the example of the deep learning project work. In this case JupyterHub was utilized as an easy way to deploy a centrally managed, cost effective environment for a large class to use GPU resources without the risk of running up huge AWS costs for each student.
No i don't think it's hypocritical.

Right to try laws allow companies to monetise desperate terminally ill patients. That's been shown repeatedly throughout history (and these days in the 'supplements' industry) to result in abuse of dying patients. And you get things like https://www.statnews.com/2017/11/21/herpes-vaccine-hotel-roo... which was clearly a great plan - and yeah that's not "terminal", but the exact same kind of thing can happen for terminal diseases as well.

The trial methodology removes the financial incentive, so that now you can't just take all of a dying persons money.

By keeping the treatment in the trial model you also mean that we get data that can actually help -- maybe find out that the drug does not in fact work, or maybe finding out that it does! A patient who is not being treated under trial conditions is much less useful as a data point (if at all) because the placebo effect, and a bunch of other related ones, have repeatedly been found to lead to incorrect feedback - the person says that the drug makes them more comfortable, even though they didn't live any longer, is that because it actually made them feel better? Or was it placebo? Or was it a desire to be "helpful"? If you use them as a data point you may end up with a drug that doesn't actually help, and that drug gets sold. for money. to people who it doesn't help. Cool.

I feel explaining this for everyone not in the know is appropriate.

Mormon missionaries are usually young men ages 18-20 who go out into various places around the world for two years. They learn a lot, generally work really hard, and when they return they usually go off to school.

Someone figured out that 2 years knocking on doors to talk about God isn't that different from knocking on doors to talk about <insert product here>. Various companies selling pest control, home security systems, etc. have set up summer sales programs. You sign up, get sent to a random city for the summer and sell the crap out of whatever it is you are selling. Top sellers will clear $50k for the summer. Even moderately successful sellers will make $10k or so.

After a summer of sales, many of the companies will allow their top sellers to get recruitment bonuses. So they spend the school year holding information meetings with free pizza to try and recruit for the next summer.

This leads to a huge bro culture. The top sellers flaunt their success by driving BMWs to school, wearing high end designer watches and stuff. Some of the bigger sales companies even have lounges close to school where sales people can hang out and study. It ends up being very clear who is into summer sales, and most students shake their heads and try to just ignore it all.
Definitely. And the wording should not be misleading and it should state something like "Stops working on X.Y.ZZZZ".
I used to work for an Atlassian competitor and the feeling in the company was a sense of intimidation.

Now that I’m a customer, it’s really ridiculous how badly their stuff is integrated. I mean, when I find myself wishing for the good old days of using Trac pre-1.0 because at least it fucking works and I don’t have to log in four times while working a ticket through code review and into a deployment.
I mean Jesus Christ Atlassian, you're on version 6 and you can’t make SSO painless, and every time I type in a ticket number into an input field behaves differently.

Why hasn’t a competitor eaten their lunch yet?
With the usual crummy standards of science reporting, this leaves me more confused than when I started. Is Arc in the human genome or not? If it's not, then where does it come from? And if it is, why do neighboring neurons die if they do not get a transmission of the encapsulated Arc RNA? Can't they build it themselves?

I'm sure there's a straightforward answer to this that I'm missing, but the article isn't helping.
> Most of the time it doesnt and patients are better off getting standard of care

The context for "right to try" is a person with a terminal condition that does not respond to any conventional therapies. In essence, the choice is between experimental treatments and hospice.

> If an effective approved drug exists, usually that has to be the control arm, not a placebo.

There will always be a placebo in a stage 3 trial.

(For anyone who is like "that looks inherently undefined due to using i++ and i in the same statement", that is likely not true of Java anyway--which loves to define stuff like that--but more importantly: this issue turned out to have nothing to do with that, and is much more general and arguably a dangerous bug in the compiler starting with Java 9 related to +=.)
Many highways and tunnels are being built here in the same way as well, called "public private partnership" or PPP. A private firm builds it and owns it and the government pays for the usage for say 20 years after which the government then owns it.

This has been the business idea for many instances where spending a big one time sum is politically hard, yet would be financially smart. Some have tried to sell it for many other things, for example energy saving equipment for a hospital.

That's exactly what happens: say profits are stable, as you'd expect in a mature, relatively efficient market. You're the product manager and can tell your boss that revenue is stable or that you're getting an extra $20/unit kickback from bundling adware like Superfish or a McAfee trial.

Your annual bonus depends on whether that number moves up or down and you believe that most people decide what computer to buy by sorting by price. What do you do?
