>wouldn't go back to the commute even for a 20% raise

Bear in mind you just cited 29% of 8 hours extra (140 extra minutes) for that 20% raise.
I'll chime in with the opposite experience. My wife and I went from short commutes when we lived in D.C. (5 minutes for her, 15 minutes for me), to a hour-and-fifteen minute commute from Annapolis to D.C. each day. We found we were much happier with the commute. Being parents, the extra time at home was diverted to chores and child care. The commute, by contrast, gave us time to ourselves to chat.
There’s another app that ranks people that should also be banned. It’s called Credit Karma.
For me, it is the measure of a talented and mature musician is: one who knows how to leave space in a song, giving the melody room to breathe and the listener time to reflect and anticipate.

Blues and Jazz artists inherently understand this. It is essential in classical. However, modern pop music, which has become saturated with hip-hop/rap influence, is going the opposite direction, filling every possible space with noise. The loudness war is only one facet of this.

If only 1% of those went on to do meaningful work, it’s still more than 0 doing meaningful work, which is the current state. It makes economic sense to free people from having to do value-destroying or value-neutral work, merely for the chance that they’d use that opportunity more productively.

Hell, I consider my own work reasonably valuable/productive, but if I was free from needing to do it to survive I would likely find something more productive/interesting/meaningful to do.

Credit Karma is actually quite helpful: it sheds light on the shadowy practices of credit rating agencies. It's true that consumer credit rating should be burned down with extreme prejudice, but Credit Karma the app is probably the one thing that doesn't suck.
I don't think it should matter who simple falsifiable statements of facts come from. 'Adversarial forces' would be the ones most motivated to discover these bits of information, and they're incredibly valuable. I mean this is an experiment anybody with a couple of phones and a dash of technical ability could carry out themselves.

I would contrast this against the sort of macro-level research that involves modeling and other more subjective components subject to extensive 'tuning.' For instance the 'Uber drivers earn $3/hour' piece that ran a while back. The extensive modeling and obscured assumptions make it much easier to create fake conclusions that are very difficult to falsify.
Personally I'll keep working on the Redis core, plus the Disque module, that will be developed under the AGPL license (not Common Clause). So you can expect me to be focused on the core as usually.

>it’s hard to abuse since taking too much will just make you dizzy/nauseated/anxious, a mistake most users only make once; it doesn’t cause respiratory depression (doesn’t recruit β-arrestin2) so it won’t kill you if you overdose;

This is dangerous misinformation. It is known to cause seizures, psychosis, and liver toxicity, and some medical authorities say it does cause respiratory depression. It has been linked to several deaths. As with any drug, more research is needed, e.g. to isolate the effects from those of other drugs that users commonly take with it. But no one should be encouraged to put this stuff in their body.
They call it “common” and “open source plus extra strings.” The extra license on the face mentions that consulting and support is no longer a viable business. I have no problem with the fact that redis labs decided to make some extended features commercial. They’re entitled to do that and I wish them well, they deserve to earn money from their hard work. I have major issues with the way they’re communicating that decision.
> KSP, factorio, prison architect, they all put considerable efforts into native linux support. I'd hate to see that be outsourced to valve's compatability layer(s).

Nothing prevents developers from making specific Linux clients. Valve just provides the option for when clients are not available. Nothing to lose, really.
Cool and all, but having a way to measure the gnarliest parts of the code is not, in my experience, the problem. Having a management objective that is willing to devote any non-zero amount of time to paying down technical debt is more often the problem. Technical debt costs over time, and new features pay off much quicker. The management may not even intend to be around in the long term (if they're developing for a client or intend to sell to a larger company, for example).

Of course, having a measurement might help shine a spotlight on how things are getting worse, but I've never actually seen this happen. Perhaps others have a different experience?
I'm a bit confused by this comment. Are you talking about Equifax and Transunion credit scores or is Credit Karma going above and beyond that in a way that i'm not aware of?
"What changed? Do developers no longer have the time to volunteer to work on this stuff? The desire? Is the demand for tech in The Valley/West Cost changing the dynamics of how much time people have to contribute. Were the earlier efforts way less commercial and new efforts moving much faster and requirement more maintenance/resources?

"

What's changed is that once open source started getting serious VC's, people believe they've created tons of value, and should be able to extract some of it (in reality, the model created most of the value, not them).

In the past, people were just relatively happy to be doing okay for themselves while created cool software.

Once you try to move to "value extraction", things become a lot thornier because you discover you aren't as important as you thought you were - your attempts to extract value fail. Usually, because it was not you who created the value, but the model.

Let's say you are PHP consultant , you set up a Redis + EC2 instances.

You enable a redis enterprise module in that instance.

Well technically speaking you are breaching the license of RedisLabs. You are not allowed to do so without their consent because those modules aren't "bsd" or "mit" they are "Commons Clause".

In short , if you are doing something with the RedisLabs modules ( consulting / hosting / training / support ) you owe $$$ to RedisLabs.

Are you talking about credit scores because if that's the case you have completely misunderstood credit karma's product
This is splitting hairs. Of course there is no restriction on use, but in order to produce a derivative work I will want to eat my own dogfood. If my company's legal department says that our product must remain proprietary and closed-source, then it stands to reason I will not be able to build it on a GPL base. Those people will likely have to choose not to use GPL software, at least to some extent.

(If they have a good legal department that understands intellectual property issues at all, and their product team knows they don't actually need to hack on the Linux kernel to make whatever they're building, then they will not likely be restricted against using Linux ... but the decision will necessarily restrict their choices when finding other components to use as part of the system they are building.)

Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing, I certainly feel is debatable and I'll reserve judgement. But it is provably wrong to say that nobody chooses not to use a GPL-licensed piece of software because of the license it is distributed under. Tons of people do.

> However, at no point did someone as annoying as Ed Sheeran dominate the charts...

Debbie Boone? The Beatles before Dylan told Lennon that his lyrics suck?

Anyway, the issue with Ed Sheeran is that he appeals to the Tweeny Girls who are the only group still spending money on music. And, as such, the powers that be are going to flog him senseless until he stops printing money.

The issue is less Ed Sheeran being annoying than the saturation marketing reaching comical levels.
The author makes a distinction between an online"community" and "society". He posits that trying to maintain a community with individual votes is foolish since it makes the votes an "agree/disagree" vs "this is a high quality/low quality".

We don't have the technology to do this. It relies on the users to make an effort to accurately rate quality instead of using them a blunt force tools, eg : rating something you don't agree with as "off topic"

No... That's not really the point of the article. The secret sauce is that /that/ ritual, its /any/ ritual. The premise is that by doing the ritual, you are more liking to do the "correct" thing. Probably (and this is my speculation here) because thus far the "correct" thing was tied to the ritual, and as humans, we like the sense of completion, so once we start the "random" part of the ritual, we want to finish the process, which involves doing the thing.

“We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.”

I am skeptical of the conclusion because of the imprecise language. For example, concluding ritual may be more effective than stringent dieting. 1. What is the documented efficacy of dieting over the same limited time period? 2. Are dieting and ritual mutually exclusive?

It's just a "free-with-source for non-commercial use" distribution of certain modules that would otherwise be proprietary.

There is nothing to see here, folks; "free-with-source for non-commercial use" has been a thing in the proprietary world for decades. It's like "free trial" or "freemium" with source code.

It's a good thing for customers and would-be customers. Customers can track down bugs and security flaws if they have access to the code. Would-be customers can evaluate the product based not only performance of the executables but code quality.

It is a "better proprietary", in other words.

Nice way of missing the point. I don't expect MS will ever stop. There's no incentive, people already proved that there's no treatment so bad that they will put their foot down and demand a change.

Google opened the way for collecting massive amounts of data by any means possible (including and not limited to tricking the user into thinking they aren't). And people seem pretty at ease with this, comparatively few are as angered by the revelations these days as they were about MS's relatively harmless telemetry.

So going back, at some point you'll miss the times when you thought MS collecting data about your hardware and drivers was "the evilest evil".

> Basically the real conclusion should be that strikes only work if there is also some additional force preventing outside people from filling the void left by the striking workers.

When talking about labor and unions, this is essentially a tautology because the power of unions is the power of collective bargaining.

Collective bargaining cannot obtain unless all human capital (laborers) is deployed through the union. Human capital that is outside the union fractures the power of the union and destroys the power of collective bargaining.

In vulgar terms, human capital outside the union is referred to as "scabs" that temporarily heal the wounds produced by a labor dispute.

EDIT: readability, grammar
I’m not sure I understand your point.

As far as I can tell, your objection is that labor productivity is mostly a function of level of automation, and you’re thinking people are confused and think it means “the people worked harder/smarter but weren’t allowed to make new machines to achieve that goal” or something like that?

In the specific example you give, I’m really unclear why it would be bad to transition people from a mind-numbingly-boring-but-requires-constant-attention job working on an assembly line, to an essentially social job with a modicum of politeness/effort required.

I guess I agree that this is fundamentally one of the flaws in Graeber’s analysis; if people’s only labor force options are “self actualized helping people with lot’s of autonomy and reasonably good pay” vs. “forced to serve others for essentially feudal reasons with slightly better pay”, obviously many if not most people would choose the former.

But the reality is that the alternative to a service job are often assembly-line boring. It’s not obvious to me how many people would choose assembly-line over feudal retainer.

Of course, there’s an alternate objection to analysis based on labor productivity, but it’s fundamentally Marxist: complete automation gives capital vastly more leverage and labor nearly zero.

So yes, labor productivity says nothing about distribution of the gains from automation and is mostly about automation, not meaningfulness/autonomy for the worker.
If you approach life as a physical system, regular rhythm is the most efficient way to save energy and avoid wearing. Predictable flow is probably very nice on your mind, body and ultimately everything else. And it seems biology tuned us to a lot of external rhythms too. Sun, seasons. I think using every period the best : day to move and work, night to sleep. It seems stupid but I think you end up leveraging a lot of builtins subsystems in you.
