If they can retrieve whose house it was, then yes. But if they send it to the mothership and aggregate or anonymize it, then not. For example if they show you your house's temperature history, I assume it falls under GDPR because it's tied to your account so it's included with data about you.
While this is totally an awesome move in terms of marketing...

Why doesn't the Open Source community actually band up and make a Github alternative that is actually good and free for Open Source?

Considering that public Git services are kind of the single source of failure for all of the projects providing what the Internet needs to run, shouldn't we instead band together and make something like the Linux Foundation for Git, providing Git infrastructure for all those projects?

It kind of feels like a really stupid move to hand over central infrastructure into the hands of any commercial entity.
Ending up in a trial != getting the treatment, and fewer than 3 percent of terminally ill patients gain access to investigational treatments through clinical trials.

Current 'compassionate use' exceptions are even worse - only 1,200 of those are granted each year to the lucky few, out of hundreds of thousands of people who could use them.

Also, don't you think it's rather hypocritical to imply that being in a trial (if you win that lottery) is safe, while getting the drugs unfer RTT is not?

Yes, there will no doubt be failures, but to deny a terminally ill patient the right to choose what to do with their own body seems rather crazy to me.

They seem to be similar to fastly in that I can pass an object_id to invalidate, and every object that contains it is invalidated. Invalidate-by-id is very powerful compared to invalidate-by-path, since I no longer have to remember which paths contain which objects.

But they go further than fastly because you don't have to annotate responses with object ids: https://fastql.io/docs/examples/mutation-update/#automatic-i...

This is extremely interesting and something I haven't seen before in an edge cache.
FDA approval is actually relatively lax as it is. To pass the FDA, you pretty much have to do better than a placebo.

There's no comparative studies, there's no cross-drug studies, there's no major side-effect studies. FDA testing is almost purely Drug vs Placebo.

So if things aren't FDA approved or otherwise are avoiding FDA studies, you need to be cautious with those products.

The reason why so many "harmful" products get past the FDA is due to the lack of testing btw. Its a known problem, but no one wants to make FDA testing harder for some reason. I guess the drug lobby has done a good job at making people distrust the FDA.

For more details, look up "Phase IV Clinical Trials", which are the studies people want to standardize that go above and beyond the FDA minimums. (Including cross-drug interactions, better studies into side-effects, comparative studies, cost-benefit studies, patient-centered surveys, etc. etc. There's a LOT of studies that simply aren't done)
In the last few years FDA has already moved closer to this with accelerated approval for mostly cancer drugs. Accelerated approval lets you get approved based on surrogate endpoints from smaller studies for patients facing fatal illness. Companies have to conduct full effectiveness studies, but can do this after the product is on the market. So FDA has already been doing a lot to help terminally ill patients get drugs that may save his / her life

Also "safety" is relative to the clinical benefit. The CAR-T drugs recently approved for lymphomas have horrible, sometimes fatal side effects. But they also save lives that would otherwise be lost. The risk / benefit would be very different in things like diabetes.

Also, safety is a moving target. Late stage studies are large and expensive bc a lot of safety events are rare. So early studies dont give you a full picture of safety

People forget that FDA exists in the first place to 1) protect people from dying from shoddily studied drugs (ie incompetence) and 2) snake oil salesmen (malintent). While in theory less regulation could enable more drugs to get to patients faster, more likely it would just incentivize more snake oil sales and poor science

It's stuff like this that is necessary to at the very least give "Linux on the desktop" a fighting chance.

It's very welcome to me. I love where Linux has quietly got on the desktop over the last five years, sort of below the radar during all the Windows 10 ruckus and mobile OS happenings. Something like Linux Mint or Ubuntu strangely now feels friendlier and more fun than Windows (what happened there!) and with a higher average quality "app store" too, i.e. the good old repositories with friendly UI's. Microsoft Store is still a cesspool in many respects and so sad to watch at times.

I think this new wave of Chromebooks will be very useful at least to me, especially as complements to my stationary PC and smartphone, instead of a tablet. They seem to get what it takes to be so versatile and fun to use, as a home user and developer catching a breath after the work hours.

They list the binary size as 27MB where a similar Go binary is just under 5MB. So I'm not sure where you got your numbers, but they're wrong. Also you were responding to a comment about the runtime resident memory (RSS) of the app being 40MB, not about the file size.

I don't understand your objection. Maybe I'm not communicating the idea properly. The Air Force, as an organization, would purchase an OSCC license and use, as you say, Axiom. If that's the only software they used, all of their license fee (minus overhead expenses) would go directly in your pocket.

Alco-Copter – New Commodore Amiga Game
Interesting. I kind of paused when I wrote "never" because it's of course possible for a terminal to bind control-keys to arbitrary actions, but every terminal I've ever used on *nix (including Mac and Linux) just passes control-keys through by default. It's possible that some of them allow such bindings as an option, but I've never checked because I need to be able to send literal control-C and control-V to applications I run in the terminal. (Control-C is of course "break", and control-V is used in vim a lot.)

This is one of the cases where I think the Mac approach happens to work out better than Linux (or Windows): by using ⌘ instead of control as the default shortcut modifier, there's no ambiguity about whether I'm talking to my terminal (copy, paste, spawn new window, etc.) or trying to send a control character. I don't know why the Linux community defacto-standardized on control keys rather than Super (or even Alt), given the high proportion of Linux users who are also terminal users.
>I've loosely followed him since, and he seems to be absolutely crushing it wherever he goes.

Question - is his management crushing it as well or are they crushing him? Is he good at standing up for himself and not letting management crush him?

I think a lot of enthusiastic and brilliant people get destroyed by their managers exploiting them. So the individual goes from crushing it to getting crushed. Management really has to enable that kind of person to succeed.
> Careful there. There is no consensus that humans do have souls.

"Soul" doesn't have to mean "immortal ghost." Humans have souls tautologically; the word is one way of trying to get at something about our experience with ourselves and others. Personality doesn't quite cover it, psyche might be closer, but soul has the depth.

That said, I agree with the premise that human organizations can have a culture that starts to border if not overlap conceptually with "soul."

>To me this falls flat because that’s not why people want to use a notebook. Generally they want to use it because it’s superficially easier to jumble all concerns into a single context and not think about coupling or separation, and just disregard testing and other best practices.

But this is not unique to notebooks. You can very easily do the exact same things with raw python files, its just that in the ecosystem you work in, raw text files are treated more maturely.

I find notebooks very useful as a form of main method. You don't generally go importing your main methods anyway.

You shouldn't go developing all your code in notebooks, much as you shouldn't go developing all of your code in main methods that don't have classes. Shared infrastructure should be factored out no matter what.

Your complaints appear to come down to "people can apply bad software development practices in notebooks, therefore notebooks shouldn't be used". And my point is that no, you can just not apply the bad software practices, and that solves the problem too.

I disagree, some very poor people most likely prefer the ads then parting with 2$. One thing people forget about advertising it is a pretty good at price discriminating. Ads to rich people are worth more than ads to poor people so advertisers can make more money from those with more money to spend while still serving everyone.
Value comes before an exchange. How can you buy something without an established value? So, yes something can, in fact MUST be worth something before an exchange happens. In this case the company itself has raised $8 million in capital with a worth of $33 million.

Now we don't know the exact nature of the share distribution, but since this is such a lean company I'm willing to wager that the found is still in the vast majority.
I agree with all of your points. However, the 'company' having $8 million in the bank does not mean that the 'founder' has or will ever have $1 million.

The expectation of funding is that it is spent growing the company (employees, inventory, etc), not immediately paid out to the founders.

Hi Matt, this is something that has interested me for personal and professional reasons. I've see a range of solutions from podcasting, youtube channels, self publishing, patreon, and independent companies (thinking TPM and their subscription model). It seems like a lot of the problem is the ad based revenue model, and the absolute bottom falling out text ad pricing combined with the unsuitability of video format to deeper/long form journalism. So I am happy for this. But as someone here noted, discoverability seems weak and - more generally - media benefits from networking effects. To not go on too long:

1. Presuming you buy into the networking argument, is Substack going to do any curation to ensure that the "Matt Taibbi" brand isn't hurt by "random crank pushing chemtrail mind control" content on the same site? That may be a bit extreme, but the same general phenomenon as FBA 3rd party seller counterfeiting hurting all sellers there or how Forbes blogs have gone downhill.

2. Is Substack going to enable cross-publishing to push content to other destinations/media? It's seems like it will be impossible to acquire the same number of eyeballs that is possible on ITunes, et al for audience acquisition.
Sadly, I think the bad behavior is relatively common. Two of the last three SV companies I’ve worked for assert ownership over everything you do or invent, even on your own time and on your own equipment at home. I don’t know if this is super common or not, or whether or not it’s legal, and I’m certainly not going to spend $XXX,XXX on a lawyer to find out!

My first boyfriend was born in the late 70s (UK) and hos family didn’t own a phone — not one landline phone between them — because phones were too expensive.

I was early 80s, and watched landline and mobile costs fall to negligible levels.

My current girlfriend was born in the late 80s (USA, but world traveler with family work), and I think from the start of highschool onward pretty much always assumed there was an internet connection and too-cheap-to-care calls even before everyone made their own VOIP/video chat messengers.
The person who died was a sherpa - the people who willingly take the job to transport rich people up the mountain. The sherpa knew what he was getting into, and the context of the expedition seems highly irrelevant. Would it be better or worse if the sherpa died during a normal trip where he was ferrying a multimillionaire Englishman up to the top?
Much more politics.
The evil "bureaucrats and scientists" are there to force the vulnerable people to not use wholesome providers of supplements that will fix their body's Ph so that it can get more alkaline.

These evil practices all work to stop people having access to things as basic as Elixir sulfanilamide[1], Thalidomide[2].

If only there were already some example of the FDA allowing victims of terminal diseases to have access to drugs that might save their lives if there was overwhelming evidence that they would at the very least work? Like imagine if a drug demonstrated an immediate overwhelming success in treatment but had not yet had sufficient trials to determine side effects and safety? HIV victims could certainly have benefited from AZT before the full side effect profiles were known. It's so sad that they didn't get access to it. Oh wait, they did [3].

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elixir_sulfanilamide - "We have been supplying a legitimate professional demand and not once could have foreseen the unlooked-for results. I do not feel that there was any responsibility on our part."

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalidomide#Adverse_effects - It did work for morning sickness, but an evil scientist at the FDA had stopped it from being sold in the US, depriving expectant mothers of helpful relief

[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zidovudine - HIV and AZT actually did result in the laws allowing exemptions for terminal cases. The difference between those, and "right to try" nonsense is that the terminal disease exemptions still require a degree of solid evidence of function, and a demonstration of safety vs alternatives.
Perhaps a better solution would be better / more open clinical trials?

Terminally ill patients and their families are very vulnerable and clinical data is difficult to parse even for doctors, and their are many people who would prey upon them if given the chance

GitHub is popular because it's popular. A lot of it is network effects. As far as I can remember, they were the first user-friendly git web host. (Key being user-friendly).

GitHub has also been really great at giving back to the community (in ways that even GitLab has benefited I'm sure).

But I doubt the source of their popularity is the integration, although their robust APIs have made the ecosystem around them flourish.
Notice they do not define "non-commercial" at all so could at anytime decide that someone somewhere is making money off your project or by using your project and insist you move to paid hosting.

It's a scam.
Not as generally available as I thought, and for the looks of it, feels just as "hacky" as the preview with respect to the user experience. For some reason, I was expecting more from them.
The null hypothesis in clinical studies is that the investigational drug doesnt work. Most of the time it doesnt and patients are better off getting standard of care

There are also ethics guidelines that deal with control group selection. If an effective approved drug exists, usually that has to be the control arm, not a placebo. So a patient will get a drug that works in the control arm, though maybe not in the active arm

Also, for stuff like the songs in Guitar Hero Live, a company should be held more to task by the consumers to provide a way to download the content you purchased and play it locally before turning off the servers.
