I’ve always believed that conspiracy theories are fundamentally motivated by a belief that things happen for a reason.

If a bad thing happened, seemingly undeserved, there must have been some dark force behind it — if not Satan or witches, then Jews or communists or Muslims or globalists or gays or whatever. The alternative — that people suffer for no reason at all, is intolerable for some people.

The huge career risk of having a string of no name companies on the resume rather than Google, Microsoft or Apple. I am quite certain I’d be much farther along in my career today had I taken the job at the big name 20 years ago instead of horsing around with a bunch of failing small companies.
I use PowerShell on Windows because CMD is atrocious and some things just aren't great in Windows for Python. C# is also not efficient for those people used to the efficiency that comes with a Linux terminal and how to use it.

When I'm on Linux, I have tons of commands, bash, python, perl, Awk, sed...etc etc. All of those tools work perfectly with text which the Unix style OS embraces. Windows on the other hand is all objects and this can be painful in PowerShell at times.

Tldr; PowerShell is alright on Windows as it is the only real viable option for a power user. However, Linux is far better with what it already has and PowerShell would be a step backwards in functionality and efficiency.

First question: Why has it been needed a long time?

On you latter question: They don't feel that all infrastructure software must be free (as in beer). You are simply conflating the free (as in speech) with the free (as in beer) implicitly with no justification.

If you are going to make money from a software development project, you need a business plan. You need a way to make money. It is absolutely true that I won't pay money for software that does not have a free software license. I've lived in that world before as a programmer. It sucks!

Does that mean that I won't pay money for free software? No, it really doesn't. In fact many of the companies I have worked for in the past have spent a lot of money for free software. One company I worked for spent about $5 million dollars a year for GCC and associated tool chains (and that was in the 90's!)

But the problem is that a lot of companies frankly have extremely poor business plans. Something on the order of:

Write software
???
Profit

Now, like I said, you can write proprietary software all you want. I won't buy it. I don't want it. It doesn't give me the ability to use it in the way that I require. What's actually slightly surprising to an old guy like me is that all of my colleagues agree with that stance. Don't want it. Not at any price. Not even free (as in beer).

What that means is that "Write software --> ??? --> Profit" is just not a viable business plan. I have absolutely no problem with this. In fact, I'm happy about this. If you want to make money, you have to offer a service other than copying bits. You can charge me for writing the software. You can charge me for a service associated with the software. You can make money in other ways and enter into a kind of consortium for constructing the software so that all parties have reduced cost. I've personally even paid money for free (as in freedom) software simply because it was worth the money to make sure the authors were able to live (Note: this is not a viable business plan, but sometimes it still happens).

BTW, currently the company that pays me makes money by selling Golf holidays (and spa holidays, and lately horse racing, and bicycling holidays). Most programmers work for companies like that.
I have no affiliation with Redis, it's clearly still open source, it's just not free for some of their users.
Excellent except that it is dated. GHC, libraries, and tooling have moved on in ten+ years. I would buy a new edition instantly.
I find audiobooks excellent when I'm doing something that occupies my body but not my mind. Excercise (whether working out or just going for a walk) is great, as are any jobs you do around the house that are >90% autopilot -- cooking familiar meals, vacuuming, washing up, that sort of thing.

(When driving I think it's better and safer to listen to something you can easily drift into and out of, like music or a podcast you don't feel the need to follow closely, rather than a book.)
Because it is a sexist outcome: significantly more men have a voice (literally!) in a general interest radio show where just about any story is fair game. It is surprising because the show is largely made by woman. I imagine it is disturbing for Glass because I assume he felt him and his staff were immune to a sexist outcome.
Demographics which are not represented do not have their stories told and their interests and priorities are not included in the prevailing narrative. While it is perfectly possible for people to empathize with others who are different, it takes effort and it's easy to understand why it doesn't always happen.
Good work here on the teleological bias.

The question is what's behind it? My working conjecture is that it is some people that cannot tolerate the ambiguity of many events being essentially random, chaotic, or stochastic. They'd rather have an evil cabal deliberately executing the 9/11 attacks, or school shootings, or faking the school shootings, than to accept that sometimes things just get very far out of hand.

But, other than rough observation (and likely confirmation bias), I've not done much to substantiate this conjecture. Comments?
Limited bandwidth means limited data over a finite time frame. Something like "No overages on data; limited bandwidth" would be more accurate.
The original article in Scientific American is much better https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/is-pop-mus...

The author of the article highlights a potential bias with this study which is worth pointing out:

But I did wonder if there was a selection bias in play here. The Million Song Dataset, huge as it is, may not provide a representative slice of pop music, especially for old songs. Its contents are heavily weighted to modern music: the database contains only 2,650 songs released between 1955 and 1959, but nearly two orders of magnitude more—177,808 songs—released between 2005 and 2009. That’s because it draws on what’s popular now, as well as what has been digitized and made available for download. And the songs of yesteryear that people enjoy today (as oldies) may not be the same ones that people enjoyed when those songs first came out.
A free market is the most efficient way to distribute resources and it does this via price signals. Quantifying welfare as a single number, paid for in dollars, is maximally efficient. What you are arguing for is to split welfare into buckets, such as the food bucket (SNAP) and the housing bucket (rent control), but still let individuals spend freely within that bucket.

It’s an argument, but I think the simple solution is just to have one bucket and trust that individuals know what they need to spend money on best.

The twist you have, that food is a unique resource we grow too much of and SNAP is essentially free because we use food that would be wasted, is very strange and I haven’t heard it before. I don’t think government purchasers buy food from the trash pile, it all comes from the market.

Certainly, it'll be a lot easier if you pick your redis-user in advance and look what its actual requirements are, so that you can focus on a solid implementation of those features.
Who else can we expect to see adopting the Commons Clause?
The problem is market rate. You mention market pay and equity as two separate things. But market rate is really total comp: base, bonus, and equity. For a senior engineer in the valley this is hitting $300k+. Saying we are close to market on salary and ignoring the rest of a total compensation package is disingenuous but suits startups (and others). A package with a value of $1.2M over 4 years would take a significant chunk of equity from a seed stage startup, or about 10% of equity on a convertible note round at a 10M cap, right around what the parent suggested. It’s fair to say we can’t give that up, but it’s also fair to say you aren’t matching market rate.
For how long is the question to me, per the blog post:

>Redis’ permissive BSD open source license allows them to do so legally, but this must be changed.

Doesn't seem like having Redis core contain enough useful functionality and staying BSD lines up with their vision.

It's hardly a fringe idea. It's actually pretty mainstream.

It even has a dismissive name: Last Tuesdayism.

You have to be careful to keep the idea separate from Young Earth Creationism!

Young Earth Creationism directly contradicts observation. In contrast believing the universe was created already old does not conflict with science (you just can't prove it one way or another).
I misspoke. What I meant is, the ASIC controlling the automatic transmission—the thing that makes it "an automatic transmission"—doesn't fail. It's just a simple bit of solid-state electronics. It'll probably outlive the car.

Other parts of the automatic transmission system fail, sure, but those parts are the same parts that are in a manual transmission. (Because, after all, in modern cars, a manual transmission's control system still ends up as signals sent to an electronic gearbox.)

So, like I said—in modern cars, where you've just got an electronic gearbox anyway, there's no sense in having both the ASIC issuing control-commands to the electronic gearbox, and a backup manual stick for issuing the same commands. If there's any fault in the system, it's far, far more likely to come from the stick's mechanism breaking down and issuing spurious commands, than from the ASIC breaking down and issuing spurious commands. And more likely than either is the gearbox getting messed up because it's sitting in a hot, dirty engine compartment.

In patriarchal societies, men stay fundamentally united while women compete against one another in a divided fashion. Important to not allow our differences and "competitive" advantages to be used as proxies for creating perpetual division.

But also, depends on circumstance. Don't have to see gender as being a problem unless you want to. Anything can be used against you for anything that can be used for you. That's both sides of everything. Nothing is ever an advantage, especially when being united (especially in technology!!!) is more advantageous than all the knowledge you could have access to.

Interestingly that is what the article implies - though they use the term teleological thinking to refer to the belief things happen for a reason.

Glad you got this off your chest mate, but HN really isn't the place for it.
The person who needs a Redis replacement but isn't interested in selling something that isn't core to their business and wants some assistance in the development from other people who are like minded.

They may or may not be a fool but their are more returns than just licensing fees for such a project prestige and it's effect on hiring for a company. Developer happiness. Other similar intangibles.
Sadly, the history of people faced with difficult, complex problems turning to opportunistc 'one weird trick' quacks out of desperation is long and depressing.
This comment resonated with me. I have always felt this way as an engineer, whether it be a startup or a big company. I was always at kids table by virtue of being an engineer.

I solved it by becoming a product manager. I miss engineering, but I no longer have that angst on a daily basis. I have found PMming is a job where sense of ownership + willingness to work to further overall success of the given project is heavily rewarded. And the precision of thought that is a pre-requesite for engineering can equally be applied to PMming (though not all PMs have it!).
If something is not free, it is not open source. The difference between free software and open source is one of ideology and philosophy. In practice, they're the same.

Gen1 Standard used proprietary GAE APIs that locked you in.

Gen2 Standard (PHP7, Node8, Java8, Python3, etc) uses the standard GCP APIs that you can call from anywhere, including other clouds. It should be relatively straightforward to move from Gen2 Standard to Flex and vice versa.

I would argue that a true conspiracy theorist doesn’t just believe that a single event was the result of a single group of people, but that the conspiracy is near omnipotent and responsible for many unrelated terrible things.

It’s one thing, for example, to believe that some aspect of the 9/11 story doesn’t hold up — perhaps that you believe the government covered up for Saudi involvement. That may be right or wrong, but it’s at least something that’s plausible.

A true conspiracy theorist would believe that the whole thing was made up and never happened, or that the whole thing was planned and executed by the Illuminati, who have been working together for centuries to control the masses through mind control.

46% drug offenses, 6.8% immigration and we’re already past the 50% mark. That as they say, is a majority.

Edit: Looking at all populations state, federal, local yields: https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2018.html

Note: But the offense data oversimplifies how people interact with the criminal justice system. A person in prison for multiple offenses is reported only for the most serious offense so, for example, there are people in prison for “violent” offenses who might have also been convicted of a drug offense. Further, almost all convictions are the result of plea bargains, where people plead guilty to a lesser offense, perhaps of a different category or one that they may not have actually committed.
Also an interesting question; does this mean we can rule out sexism as a contributing factor to men getting more airtime?

It appears unlikely that a mostly female staff is suffering from delusions of female incompetence. There are many reasons a system might be biased that are not attributed to prejudice.
That's actually a really good point. At the time of founding, standing police forces were pretty much non-existent in the US (and not very widespread in the rest of the world). Law enforcement was mostly handled by an elected sheriff who would raise a militia when necessary.
Yes it's crazy, most of the people commenting here don't contribute to open source and get paid a comfy salary because someone higher up actually charges for the things they work on. I don't know why there is such a stigma around monetizing the things you work on. These types of comments ignore the reality that you need to monetize somehow. Almost every large open source project has a monetization model.
I'm pretty comfortable with who does and doesn't take me seriously. I've been dragging up details from the indictment all day on the thread. I'm not going to take the time to go tie them back to paragraph numbers for you; that seems like a colossal waste of time for both of us.
I'm very glad they changed the default to unlimited. The old default behavior of throttling was a just an outage waiting to happen, and it was more painful to opt into unlimited via Cloudformation than it should have been.
> Creationism inherently incorporates a conspiracy theory - that evidence of a young earth exists, but is dismissed or even hidden by scientists because of their "faith" in secularism.

My understanding is that this is basically true though. That is, even fundamentalist Christians didn't believe in young earth creationism before the 1920s or so, and the reason it became a popular is that it was a reaction to that fact that mainstream science rejected the existence of climate change and tectonic plates.

There's a good talk about this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMaUzNlDnSY

It's basically the same as how homeopathy was created as a reaction to the fact that mainstream medicine had a success rate that was substantially lower than placebo treatments.

In each case science basically just got forked. And once it gets forked, it's impossible to use science on one side of the fork to convince people on the other side of the fork that they're wrong, because all the commits are out of order in way that changes the meaning of the diffs.
Can total data consumed be more than (31 x 24 x 60 x 60)s x 50 Mbps in any month of the year?

Let us stop pretending that the lawyers who approve corporate literature are innocent and just misinterpreted the meaning of the word "unlimited".

These malpractices need to stop. Precise language needs to be made legally necessary for such literature. This is no "Kublai Khan" where the writer is allowed liberties normally unavailable.

I just feel strongly that women are missing some important detail and that detail is about power per se.
Exactly.

The servicers existed to serve as a smoke screen for mortgage securitization shenanigans. The servicers sent the payments to trusts that had dubious possession of the mortgages.

Trusts and banks passed ownership of mortgages amongst themselves, though tax law was supposed to prevent them from doing so. Ultimately the servicers had no more idea of who actually owned the mortgages than the homeowners.
That's a direction I've been thinking about too!
Yes, fines are far more punitive to poor people than they are for the rich. They're effectively just a small expense which allows them to commit crimes.

The fact that society forces us to work harder and harder in order just to live, when it could easily sustain a dignified standard of living for all at minimal cost, is the fundamental problem that people on the left are against.

It does not surprise me in the least that the executive branch of a state (which includes the AG's office) is supporting net neutrality at the federal level while the legislative is passing state-level laws to hamstring it.

I live in one of these states with bans on municipal broadband, NC. The relationship between our Republican super-majority General Assembly and our Democrat governor is completely dysfunctional, and our districts are so gerrymandered that we, the people, can't fix it. Republicans in the GA have been calling special sessions all summer to override the governor's vetoes. The GA recently put several state constitutional amendments up for referendum in November, aimed squarely at stripping the governor of more powers (something no one ever mentioned during our last Republican governor's term.) This is not going to change any time soon (see: gerrymandering.)

Our AG suing the fed is literally our only option to block most of the madness happening at the federal level (until the Supreme court rules on partisan gerrymandering,) because our legislative branch no longer works for the people, they simply push party and lobbyist agendas at all costs.
I'd prefer poetry to hold music. There must be tons of good public-domain poetry. Spend 8 hours recording, say, the early editions of Emily Dickinson's work, and you should have enough material to last every customer for probably the rest of their lives (hopefully they don't spend that much time on hold).

Maybe this is some culture-vulture PBS donor stuff, but honest to god I'd dig it.
That's an 'everything is related to everything' argument about something that I did't actually say.
It's clearly not open source.
It meets no definition of open source that has ever existed.
Even other things like the debian free software guidelines (which date back to 1997. Seee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_Free_Software_Guideline...) would not consider this free

It's also clear the goal is to "seem" open source by reusing the license names of open source licenses.
Someone already posted a comment asking about this.
No, because there's a competing hypothesis: women can be sexist too.

I really wish we could get away from "sexist/not-sexist", "racist/not-racist", "bigoted/not-bigoted" binaries. Every human is prejudiced -- we're designed that way by evolution.
That sounds like deadly accidents should be happening every week.
Or that women can be sexist too. That they can pick up the unconscious bias towards men inherent in much of our society and apply it as easily as any man can.
