There are a lot of people working extremely hard in that field. It's just not very flashy or politically salient since it's so personal so it's very hard to rally people around it to get some more funding to these programs. Taking kids away from their parents always goes through the courts and is not in any way as simple as you make it out to be.
Giving away your kids, even if you've fucked your life up is not something most people want to do voluntarily.

woops, my apologies, carry on.
So if I'm getting what you're saying, then if I make an app that lets people design and generate their own apps (like Eclipse), using GPL would NOT force them to use GPL on the apps they create with it. But if I give them a runtime (like Unity), using GPL forces them to release their apps under GPL too?
Along with "out-of-wedlock" births people also get divorced and/or die. I know two families where death is what caused a parent to become single. Life changes quickly (I grew up with a single mom, she got divorced because my dad developed a severe mental illness). Judging families by personal responsibility should really only be done on a case-by-case basis.
I don't know one way or the other, but this proves too much. You're talking about this like Google is the Borg and everyone always has the same opinions. It's certainly possible some of the people in the room at the time actually were motivated by free speech issues.

I agree about not trusting corporate PR, but the conclusion is that we don't know the company's motivations and it's probably a mistake to treat it as a consistent entity. Executives come and go. Sometimes they win arguments and sometimes they lose them. Sometimes they change their minds over the years.
Thanks for mentioning.

Very -- very! -- informally: in PPAD-complete problems, a solution is known to exist (e.g., there is always a Nash equilibrium), but no one knows of an efficient algorithm for finding the solution. In other complexity classes widely believed to be intractable, such as NP-complete, the problems are decision problems that ask a yes/no question, and no one knows of an efficient algorithm for answering the question. By "efficient algorithm," I again mean an algorithm whose running time is bounded by a polynomial function of input or problem size.

Steve jobs or whoever it was doing QA, I gotta say really had a knack for what is usable and makes the evokes a feel good emotion. The new macs nowadays look beautiful but horribly lack in usability in many ways. Steve Apple was very focused on usability. Aesthetics came later, now it’s the reverse.

Agreed, and there's a name for this. It's 'bullshit'.

Making a laptop with a terrible keyboard to save 2-3mm of thickness when no one really cares about such extremes of thinness. That's bullshit.

Making a laptop with largely unsupported USB-C ports and nothing else. No transition-year with both new and old ports, just tossing the old ports out abruptly and making customers buy fucking dongles. That's bullshit.

Eliminating function keys for a gimmicky touch screen which almost no one will use on a day-to-day basis a month after buying the laptop. That's bullshit.

Divvy Homes | Sr. Software Engineer (full-stack) | (ONSITE) San Francisco, CA | www.divvyhomes.com

The Gist

At Divvy, we're helping renters become homeowners by letting our customers buy back pieces of their home over time. Our goal is for our customers to accrue enough equity in their homes to use as a down payment for a traditional mortgage.

The Company

Over the past year, we’ve worked hard to build an exceptional team, raise over $30 million in funding, and provide homes for dozens of families, meaningfully changing their financial future. Our customers choose any home for sale, and Divvy buys it on their behalf. The customer leases the home back from us while building equity credits along the way, preparing to buy the home at the end of their lease. Our customers get to live in their future home today, while buying fractions of the home over time.

The Job

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer passionate about using their creativity and talent to make access to homeownership more accessible. In this role, you’ll be part of the engineering team building our consumer, agent and administrative products. At Divvy, you’ll own your projects from start to finish and help to scale our platform to thousands of new applicants and multiple new markets. You’ll report directly to Divvy’s CTO and work alongside a team of 3-5 software engineers.

Apply directly at: https://angel.co/divvy-homes/jobs/375496-software-engineer-f....

I'm not sure what the "most normal choice" means, but in this age of software patents, X/MIT (or BSD) is archaic to the point of being dangerous except for the most trivial of projects.

Select a license which has a patent release. Otherwise people will have a very good reason not to use your software. If you want to go the BSD-style route, the most normal choice here is Apache.

I think you meant "Lesser GPL with the static linking exception". IIRC glibc is "stock" LGPL 2.1 without any linking exception, so I may have misunderstood your comment and you mean just LGPL.

The LGPL is not viral but it has some requirements that are inconvenient when distributing a game, specially it makes static linking impossible.
* Do stuff that matters. Start small.

* Do less stuff that does not matter. If it does not matter but needs to be done, try to delegate or automate it.

* Don't devote attention to stuff that does not matter. (Eg. the tech news firehose or the latest Trump tweet)

* Exercise regularly.

* Eat right.

* Sleep well.

We can simulate buffalo mob grazing with "managed intensive grazing": many cows in a small area for about a day, then they move. In addition to what you said, it manures the land quite evenly. The grass can stay in its fastest-growing "adolescent" stage. Builds topsoil quickly and sequesters unbelievable amounts of carbon. (This is not how most beef is raised.)
It is happening today. We've always had some vanpool-ish type companies, though they haven't always been easy to work with. There are some startups trying to change that, like https://www.chariot.com/ -- I've been keeping an eye on them and when they start operating along my commute line I will likely switch away from BART.

The big problem with vanpools is scheduling. Everyone wants flexibility and smarter scheduling systems in a manner very similar to what uber has provided for individual rides.

That sounds like a great idea for the app I want to make! It would let users create and ship apps that come with my custom runtime functions bundled in. I'm trying to figure out how to monetize it, and my only thought so far is to open up a Patreon for donations from any very enthusiastic users. But sublicensing seems like a good alternative! Or maybe I can do both.

Nintendo Switch Does Multiple Accounts Right
"Did it occur to you that they never amounted to anything because people did shit about them?"

Then you've admitted the only point I care about here, which is that getting personally panicky about those things would have been a waste of time. Doom is not certain. People do in fact do things in reaction to problems.

"Did it occur to you that just because you live an insulated life, that these disasters are actually happening right now?"

Read what I wrote again with an eye towards answering those questions, because the answer is there. The Earth is positively saturated with problems... but that's not actually a new state of affairs, despite what youth may think and/or certain people may have told you.

You are establishing that problems exist. That is not the question I am answering. I am answering is doom inevitable? And the answer is simple: No. Do not live hopelessly. Do not plan for your future life as if we're all going to be dead in 10 years inevitably because of environmental disaster. There are many disasters in your future with non-zero probability, but living as if they have already occurred just moves them into the present with 100% probability. That's not a win.

In terms of reading my mind, you'd be doing better off if you first read my text, instead of what you assume my text is going to say. Or trying to figure out which bogeyman to associate me with so you can stop thinking and start emoting. That's not a healthy psychological pattern. Who taught you to do that? What benefit do they get from it? Are you benefiting from it? (Hint: No.)
I would think carefully about why you want to get them all on the same network, and then find other, application-based ways to accomplish the same thing. For example if you want to share files, use Dropbox instead of a LAN file share. This will most likely be easier to implement and secure.

Consider that cutting edge companies are in the process of basically deprecating their LAN in favor of app-based security. Google "zero trust network" or BeyondCorp.

You can build this sort of ecosystem yourself using commercially available products and services. Instead of enterprise single-sign-on, set up family members with a password manager.
My theory is Android is too difficult to maintain. There is a significant amount of work that has to be done to keep up with the latest version of Android especially if you are going to make heavy modifications to the functionality of the OS. That's why most aftermarket head units don't bother and you get out of date systems with security flaws. It is much better to build a system from scratch like Tesla and most other auto makers do from a support perspective. Android Auto is probably the best of both worlds for most people.
This thread is so sad. Companies pay 6 figure salaries but somehow when it comes to the office environment they treat the same people as if they are chickens.

I'm glad your school is prioritizing what's really important.
> I am not trying to blame the parents in all the cases either, a lot of the time there are single parents just trying to get by and make ends meet and don't know what more they can do.

If there is a household with one parent, 5+ children, and not enough beds for them, the problem has occurred long before. One cannot blame the parent for "that day", but certainly the adult bears some responsibility for creating such a household. Having 5 kids without planning for beds, or income, or stability, is a decision SOMEONE made. It doesn't just "happen" like weather. There is human responsibility here.

In my view, "I Promise" is making up for those mistakes. Its a good thing, but let's be clear about why it's valuable.
Yes really!

30,000+ people die in cars every year in the United States. That's roughly the same number killed by guns but how many news stories do you see about car deaths?

First of all, emission reductions are not sufficient. The CO2 already emitted is enough to create a mass extinction from ocean acidification.

Secondly the two techniques that I pointed to are, today, cheaper than emissions reductions.

Third, the cost of other mitigations is improving over time as the price of renewable power (particularly solar) drops. So even approaches that are not currently cost-effective may be in the near future.
Apache is a super normal choice too. The important distinction is between the GPLs and the MIT/Apache's.

I wouldn't use BSD in 2018 either.
I use Vagrant w/ VirtualBox and setup shared folders, but it's not as nice when you want to debug or execute code. PyCharm Pro has great support for Vagrant though it sucks at updating certain things on the server end.
how do you see people not taking personal responsibility in this regard? at an individual, or a population level?

you seem to assume a lot about people "having 5+ children when you have no resources". even the idea of "no resources" has a number of in-built assumptions. what are they? do you work with populations of people like this? do you personally know people in this situation? are they truly hopeless?

certainly we can have an adult conversation, but don't beat around the bush. start the conversation with an earnest and reasoned argument, rather than an inscrutable lament.
Helping at-risk kids succeed is helping treat the cause. If you don't help these kids, they're going to grow up and have their own "at-risk" kids. And the cycle continues. These are efforts to break the cycle. This is proactive investment in the future.
