Having just used it, it’s good but not great if travelling about. This mostly my fault and not theirs as I didn’t realise I needed a mobile number that can sent/receive sms. Many services require an sms for account setup and it’s a PITA not being able to receive them. Bike sharing and taxis were the two I wanted it for.
The other weird thing was that one of the cards I bought worked in the U.K. and one didn’t. I never did figure that out but the prices are so cheap it wasn’t particularly problematic.

You don't know whether you are in the middle income trap without the benefit of hindsight. By that time it's too late. If China does move up the value added chain, it could lead to enormous wealth creation globally. For businesses and consumers. That's why I am dissatisfied at the whole America First mentality. It doesn't matter if it's China, India, South Africa or whatever country. Globalization benefits us all and we should support their development.
it is not the electronic chips that cause an autopilot to fail (in most cases). the primary failure mode is 'something else', meaning a failure in the mechanical equipment connected to the environment.
There's a lot of fuss in these here comments about the future of Redis itself.

From the post (emphasis mine):

> Consequently, we decided to add Commons Clause to certain components of open source Redis. Cloud providers will no longer be able to use these components as part of their Redis-as-a-Service offerings, but all other users will be unaffected by this change.

> The Redis core is, and always will remain, an open source BSD license. Certain modules, however, are now licensed as “Apache 2.0 modified with Commons Clause.”

Isn't this, then, just another open-core play? The Redis you know and love, if you're most people (Redis core) isn't being relicensed. The Redis features ("certain modules") that these SaaS providers created themselves to provide on their platforms as value-adds, are being relicensed to be less BSD-y and more Microsoft shared-source-y ("open to contribution, pay to use", which is... wacky.)

Fundamentally, those modules were these companies' property to do with as they wished. Likely, they had few-if-any outside FOSS contributors (which is how they could get away with something like this in the first place.) They aren't some cultural touchstone of the community. They're proprietary vendor add-ons that happened to be FOSS-licensed up until now.

If these companies had started with these modules being entirely closed-source (like with, say, Nginx's "Nginx Plus" modules), nobody would be batting an eyelash right now.
Ask HN: ARM-based Linux laptop business?
This is at the "is this even possible" stage. So the end goal would be to build a completely FOSS laptop using Risc V with zero proprietary blobs but after briefly exploring Risc V, the ecosystem is still way too early to build anything for consumers/enterprises as someone new to the space. So that's why I want to start with ARM.

Note that I have zero experience doing any of this. My questions:

- How well does linux run on ARM based processors? Will the existing x86-64 software/packages run by recompiling from source or are there any additional complications in porting software over. Will KDE/Gnome run out of the box? How is GPU support? Looking at Raspian, the situation seems encouraging.

- How do I go about learning about the hardware and software areas of building an ARM based laptop? Recommended resources?

- How is ARM based processors' security track record compared to intel and amd's lineup? My brief googling suggests it's better and ARM does not force the usage of a ME/PSP.

- Imagine I could buy a thinkpad x1 carbon like system with an ARM based cpu, install ubuntu and start using it like how one would use the x86 version. Would this even be possible? What are the potential speedbumps?

- How do I actually design a laptop? Maybe start with an off the shelf solution like clevo?

Any and all advice is welcome. I know I am grossly unqualified to do any of this, so please be kind.

Wow, I remember seeing this when you first started it and I spoke out against it then. I should have spoken more loudly, because I assumed no sane maintainer would have taken you seriously.

Software which uses this model is not open source, plain and simple. This is a disgrace on our community and I am sorely disappointed in you and in Redis.

What pushes OSS devs to cease being OSS devs is an important problem to solve, but one I think we were making great progress on. "Solving" it with the destruction of open source is a despicable thing.

The commons "clause" isn't a clause at all, it's a rape of an otherwise good license. I fear you've already let it into your head that your cause is a noble one and that you'll be unwilling to undo the damage you've done, but if you have a conscience I urge you to shut down this bastardization of open source.

To me, the most interesting about this belief that "everything is part of a master plan and a big conspiracy" are:

1) There is always some kind of political undertone on it.

2) The ones most prone to believe in it are the ones most gullible to accept authoritarian rule. No wonder that every dictator, from Maduro to Erdogan to Putin and Jiping love so much this argument.

That could be -- there are more people whose genders are not as they seem than most realize. But they're surely not going on voice alone but also name, in-person impression based on appearance and so on.

I once made a gender survey of several hundred people going by names, falling back to pictures in LinkedIn profiles, falling back to pronouns in forum posts referring to the person in question by people who ought to know. I assume the results were not perfect -- but they were probably good enough to be useful. (The result was 95+% male, which was enough to prove a point.)

That's interesting that you'd ask if it's worth intellectual respect, I don't think that is what anyone is looking for here.

Most people don't believe in God because they think they've figured something out or that their intellectual pursuits have led to that conclusion. A belief in God requires belief that there are super natural forces at work, that escape scientific detection. Yes this goes against materialism and other axioms you may hold dear. But many people have experiences that lead them to believe this to be the case. I totally agree without this sort of personal experience there is no compelling reason to agree.

The point is there are people like my self that are totally behind science as the best way to understand our physical reality but have been convinced there exists a God that cannot proven or described. I don't know how the pieces fit but I'm not trying to make them fit.

Believing in God doesn't explain the universe for me it just adds another complex unknown.
No. Just invest some of your paycheck whenever you get paid. Over the years you will achieve average results (which is very good - close to 7%)

If you have a lump sum and little to no money currently invested AND you are nervous then split it up into smaller chunks and invest every few weeks.

Instead of sharks, I would generalize it to the entire food chain. Early in the history of capitalism, corporations grew organically. They were essentially 'herbivores' . But they have since realized that there are many more calories (dollars) to be gained by moving up the food chain and consuming organisms which are doing that work. Ultimately, too many predators and not enough workers.
They didn't just rely on voice. They assigned gender based on names. And names for those with various sexuality and gender transformations can be ambiguous. Maybe male vs female is just too limiting a distinction.
Yeah - this could potentially be a huge bias. Songs that are top 40 hits for a month or so and songs that have staying power to be memorable 40 years from now are probably not quite the same category.

It also echoes my (baseless) assumption that the main reason that we have this idea that music a few decades ago or more was somehow "better" is that anything that wasn't at least above average is completely forgotten by now i.e. survivorship bias.
I'm a former Microsoft hater, and life long Apple advocate. Evangelist, even. To a big extent, I still am. But over the past 10 years, Microsoft has become less and less adversarial and more interesting. I had high hopes for Windows Phone and even the Zune. I'm happy with Windows 10 and yes, even Bing. They still seem to have such huge potential with their Windows ecosystem, especially with Xbox Live. But at the same time, it's almost as if they have no idea what they're doing with it.
I'm hoping to see Microsoft and Apple even become a bit friendlier. It might be what's necessary to effectively compete with Google in many ways.
That's true, but if you're going to use labour, then pay for labour. Anything else is slavery. Especially when this "experience" is not useful post-prison.
I'm not sure I understand, they're basically selling you less than one continuous CPU thread and upcharging if you use a full core? So suppose the machine has 56 cores and they're putting 3 customers on each vCPU. What happens in the case that everyone needs to burst to the full performance of each thread they're paying for (56 * 3)? I imagine they'd price that as if you utilized 100% but give you degraded performance due to hardware limitations.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but this sounds like "unlimited shared hosting for people who can SSH" (except you pay extra instead of unlimited)
You're absolutely right, but consider that most of the people complaining who indicate their computer type are mentioning using Apple computers (perhaps electron works better on Windows? Perhaps people don't name drop Windows as much? Perhaps Windows users have lower expectations?). Also, consider that the supported hardware base for a Mac app is much smaller than a Windows app, which means fewer devices to test on, etc, and probably fewer operating system versions to support too. It should be (but may not be) a lower effort project than supporting Windows, and it will be easier to kill if it doesn't go well ('whoops that was a bad idea, but only 2% of our users used it' -- nevermind if that's 80% of their user base that could run it)

Hi, Kevin. VM Brasseur from https://opensource.org here. It's disappointing to see FOSSA, which claims it exists to assist companies with open source management, publish and encourage use of a clause that very clearly removes projects from the pool of open source alternatives. To do so by using the word "Commons" in the title adds insult to injury and borders on wilful deception, removing software from the commons as it does.

I encourage FOSSA to contact the Open Source Initiative, Open Tech Strategies, or another reputable free/libre and open source organisation to find a better solution to whatever problem it is that the Commons Clause is intended to address.
Check this out, interesting. https://pastebin.com/NGUVe7zi
Yeah, but its not like they are "getting it for free". It is a ecosystem, and
cloud providers have provided many nice things back to the ecosystems. Including
jobs to many prominent OSS developers. Not to mention cloud providers do the
most important sort of work on any project. That is running it reporting bugs
and often submitting patches to those bugs. Larger cloud providers even hire
people for the sole purpose to work on said OSS projects simply to improve them.
Weinberg said about consulting that no matter what they tell you, no matter what the contract says, no matter what else is happening, it is always a people thing. That's definitely been my experience.

Sometimes everything crackles. But while you can't make lightning strike on demand, you can definitely drive to where the thunder is. I think we try to do that.

Labs was a real education. These days I am in R&D. I like to say that building Cloud Foundry was a process of incremental humblings: "Ohhhh, that's what our clients were telling us about when we brushed off their questions about big projects". But we at least have the necessary lack of shame to ask questions about our oversights and get better.

We are always hiring, if you want to see it for yourself.
> "including without limitation fees for hosting or consulting/ support services related to the Software"

This single line completely destroys any confidence I have in Commons Clause. I will avoid any project with this license moving forward until this is fixed. It's embarrassing that I'm being told that the time & energy I've invested in deploying this software (redis in particular) will now be rewarded with the inability to commoditize that experience through consulting. No thanks.

American Pentecostalism sounds like a very stupid tribal superstition to me.

I come from an European and Catholic background. Catholicism and the Protestant mainstream that adopted most of their Theology (e.g.: Anglicanism, Lutheranism, Calvinism) do have a deep respect for science. They learned that lesson painfully, after what they did to Copernicus and Galileo.

Pentecostals are headed to serious mistakes if they think anti-reason can take them anywhere.

Yep, you're right, if you look into the history of the interpretation of Genesis in Christianity, Augustine of Hippo said this:

> Usually, even a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens, and the other elements of this world, about the motion and orbit of the stars and even their size and relative positions, about the predictable eclipses of the sun and moon, the cycles of the years and the seasons, about the kinds of animals, shrubs, stones, and so forth, and this knowledge he holds to as being certain from reason and experience.

> Now, it is a disgraceful and dangerous thing for an infidel to hear a Christian, presumably giving the meaning of Holy Scripture, talking non-sense on these topics; and we should take all means to prevent such an embarrassing situation, in which people show up vast ignorance in a Christian and laugh it to scorn.

> The shame is not so much that an ignorant individual is derided, but that people outside the household of the faith think our sacred writers held such opinions, and, to the great loss of those for whose salvation we toil, the writers of our Scripture are criticized and rejected as unlearned men.

> If they find a Christian mistaken in a field which they themselves know well and hear him maintaining his foolish opinions about our books, how are they going to believe those books in matters concerning the resurrection of the dead, the hope of eternal life, and the kingdom of heaven, when they think their pages are full of falsehoods on facts which they themselves have learnt from experience and the light of reason?

I've personally found emailing companies directly to be effective. Basically stating that I attempted to contact them, I was bounced around and put on hold and gave up. I've literally used the phrase "give me a holler" at my phone number and received calls back the next morning. If they want to get their money they can reach out to me. I just won't pay any part of the bill until the issue is resolved. And I am definitely not going to waste my time on hold.
Not that much. Contact them and they will bring back with an offer adequate to your dataset and budget.

In that case it was far better to create a temporary table and JOIN that rather than using an "
