We have to give credit to the foresight of whoever planned this out, allowed it or luck, I remember about 20 years ago, there was a mall with a Sears and Montgomery Wards where the Safeway/3-4 story condos/apartments/restaurants are now and that Whole Foods was not there, though it seems as if San Antonio Road has had one lane or more blocked over that time continuously as buildings have been torn down/going up.

Right, this isn't news to me and also doesn't answer the question

Criminal justice reform has lobbyists against it, and also has a culture that is obsessed with punishment and bloodlust.

I think prisoner wages or the duties of prisoners can be addressed in some capacity, without maintaining a massive slave labor force. The circumstances around wording of the 13th Amendment, and subsequent case law may allow for redress against this outcome.

From the majority opinion in Bailey v. Alabama in 1910

> "The plain intention [of the amendment] was to abolish slavery of whatever name and form and all its badges and incidents; to render impossible any state of bondage; to make labor free, by prohibiting that control by which the personal service of one man is disposed of or coerced for another's benefit, which is the essence of involuntary servitude. While the Amendment was self-executing, so far as its terms were applicable to any existing condition, Congress was authorized to secure its complete enforcement by appropriate legislation."

So I see what the amendment says - prisoners can be slaves - but honestly, it may be as simple as that having never been challenged. Its probably why they are paid 85 cents in some cases, and only a handful of traditionally southern states paying them nothing.

In conclusion: there may not be public support for prisoner slavery, there may not be Congressional or state legislature support for prisoner slavery, and even if it got to the Supreme Court they might just lean on old case law instead of the plain text of the amendment.

When we discuss #1 engineer compensation we are most likely talking about a very early stage company that likely lacks a profound company structure and employee benefits program.
So I would assume that #1 engineers will most likely not be greeted with a good health insurance on the employer side.

WSCA allows throttling if you’re a top 5% user locally. Not a problem in the middle of Seattle, but definitely something to plan for a command vehicle responding to wildfires and you have a high density of responders... particularly since the problem is so cheap to fix.

Also, another jurisdiction like police, state emergency management, Feds, etc may have a plan that allows them to deprioritize you at any time. If they were in FirstNet, a machine to machine plan, or a Verizon public safety plan, there would be no issue.

I wait until I have several calls that I know are going to have long holds like insurance companies or the IRS.

Then I call them both at the same time, one on my phone and one on google voice and push the buttons on both to get to the hold sequence.

Typically one will answer first and you can finish with that call before the other answers.

If they both answer at the same time just hang up on one.

I plan on getting a sideline phone number and a second line phone number and trying this with 3 or even 4 phone numbers.

The ideal outcome would be for one hold to end right after you finish with the other and you can smoothly transition between all 4 calls. However, in all reality, you'll probably end up hanging up on one or two.
Depends on pay, right? If you are offering employee #1 market pay, why would you give them 10% equity?

Because this is how you get good people. If you want to offer them what they could get by working someplace else, they may as well work someplace else (likely without the hours, stress, or potential instability of a startup).

Redis Modules are more and more becoming an important part of the Redis ecosystem. I would imagine many features are going to be added as modules rather than as new commands in core Redis.

Not being able to offer these while RedisLabs can is what I think they're going for here.
This is kind of similar to the immigration debate, where the laws actually on the books are so strict that many people are unsatisfied with just enforcing them, but leaving a large illegal-but-unenforced gray area sitting around just creates a massive haven for outlaws.

Now, if prostitutes were legalized, licensed, and regulated, and sites like Backpage were required to retain identification and registration records for all their advertisers, it would be easy to distinguish between a service that protects sex workers and a service that collaborates with human traffickers. But we can't have that, so instead we have gray market actors like Backpage, and a bunch of investigators and prosecutors who have to decide (based upon much fuzzier and less complete evidence!) whether they're just protecting sex workers or outright collaborating with human traffickers.

Maybe the investigators and prosecutors made a bad call. But combining unreasonably strict laws with bizarrely lax and discretionary enforcement is a really shitty way to handle these problems in the first place.

Facebook Identifies New Political Influence Operation Ahead of Midterm Elections
Weird. Company full of Open Source guys, but I think they didn't get the right advice on a business model. The reason why MIT/BSD/Apache licenses are there is that there's a group of people who want to let companies use their stuff. If you want people pay you, you just release commercial software, without showing the source. License is something that once put in, it's too late to change later, and not disrupt how your technology is used in the field.

e.g.: I was contributing to FreeBSD because I wanted to contribute to BSD licensed-software, with a hope people from FANG would use it, and maybe hire me later. If FreeBSD made a chance to the license, it'd no longer be FreeBSD. It'd be FreeCommonsClause--different project. I wouldn't like to contribute to this.

As a CEO fo a software company, if I were to go and analyze what this license change means to my business, and probably get uncertain answer, I'd rather fork Redis from before the license change, and run on the copy.

Why? Because the fee for a US software engineer is $X, for a over-sees is $0.3X or $0.5X. Fee for a US copyright lawyer with expertise in software is 10$X. Pay that much money for no value-added to my business makes no sense to me.

This reminds me of a HN comment (sorry, can't remember which) where it explained that one of the major differences between US and European law is technicality vs the spirit of the law. Where in the US you can get away with a lot because it's "technically" legal, it wouldn't fly in Europe just because the fine print says so. It's plain old false advertisement.

I made a comment about a relevant experience we had at my current employer.[1] In short, we switched from a multi-device plan with a shared 60 GB cap to a multi-device plan with an 'unlimited' data cap, our IT department was genuinely surprised when devices were throttling after 22 GB per device. Also, Verizon wanted so much money to increase a device's cap, it was cheaper to purchase additional hotspots, pay to add them to the plan, and cannibalize the SIMs when current devices start throttling.

> No, I mean that neither Elm nor Standard ML has nor needs typeclasses. No language needs typeclasses.

Standard ML has less need for type classes because it has a much more expressive module system, but it still can be extremely tedious to pass around module definitions all the time, which is why they added equality types when the language was originally designed. This is considered an ugly hack though, even by its own creators [0].

Definitely agree that folks should aim for better than type classes, especially due to complications around global instance coherence. One nice solution is modular implicits/instance arguments [1][2]. Tricky thing is to do it without adding too much complexity to the language.

I do wish that there would just be some acknowledgment that it's a hard, but real problem to solve for Elm's point in the design space, rather than just pretending it isn't there. It's ok just to say that you're not spending design capital on it at the moment due to more pressing issues!

Possibly unfortunately (though it's not that simple, as prosecutors, being human, still err), the legislature disagrees with you. With personal experience in a proceeding of a charge like this, I assure you child rapists are usually let out of jail before murderers.

I have a four year old. I research a company, try to determine what tools they use and architecture they might be employing. I research what people are paid there. If requiring a move, I do research on the location. This takes lots of time. The more of my time that is taken up, the less likely I am to bother. The position of the company may well be they aren't interested in someone who'll not keep jumping through more hoops and if that's their position, then it's fine. I likely don't want to work there. I'd likely be happier at a company that respects my time.

There's no context to any such promise that would make it not fraudulent, given how they implemented it.
==The Marsh case handles a scenario in which a private company controlled the public space.==

and acted as a de-facto government by providing fire, police and other services typically provided by governments. Twitter is not similar, as multiple people have already mentioned.

His personal Twitter feed is a public resource. Trump is the government, blocking people is literally the government limiting free speech. Twitter is not the government.

No, because they are very different, as explained by justice.gov [1].

I think there are two different definitions of "beginner" being used here.

1. Someone who has never programmed before, and is perhaps young. Someone who has to be guided. A novice.

2. Someone who is new to this particular language, but is experienced at programming generally; who is attempting to learn the language to use it "in anger" (i.e. with a specific goal in mind and a timeline for that goal); and who is willing to "do whatever it takes" to learn the skill. A journeyman beginning a new path.

A novice needs a definitive textbook. A journeyman-beginner, on the other hand, needs definitive primary sources, however scattered.

If you're a high-school student learning precalculus, what do you need? A math textbook.

If you're a post-graduate student learning some specific arcane sub-discipline of math to see whether it could be used to solve the novel problem you've decided to do your thesis on, what do you need? Primary sources. All the journal papers in that field you can get your hands on. There's no one textbook that could possibly help you; the only truth you will find is the truth "between the lines" of everything you read.
I won’t name but it wasn’t shameful. They ended up looking for someone with experience more balanced between web services and embedded devices, and my background was very focused on embedded. Had they gone purely by the homework, they might not have gotten the best candidate.
These photos are powerful, and say a lot about inequality in just a handful of scenes.

The ideal situation would be for everyone to live in functionally identical dwellings that provide their every need. Somewhat like the world described by E. M. Forster in The Machine Stops, except without the dystopian aspect of fully enclosed spaces and unmaintained infrastructure.

Until we reach that pinnacle of human existence, we should all work towards preventing the majority of the world's population living in poverty. A good start would be redistributing the ill-gotten wealth of that lucky minority who lord it over everyone else in a perpetual state of power-hungry me-too selfishness.
Why, it is almost like public services are not incentivized to weigh options and alternatives.

> The "limit" being referred to is the total data per month

Sorry, that justification doesn't work because their throttling drastically limits the total data per month too. Verizon advertises "Unlimited 4G LTE" and also that their 4G LTE has typical speeds of 5-12 Mbps with 50 Mbps bursts. At the alleged throttled rate of 30 kbps, you couldn't even download 10 GB in a whole month of 24/7 usage, when you could normally expect to download that much in less than 5 hours if you weren't throttled, or as little as 30 minutes at the highest advertised speed.
Ah, that all makes a lot more sense :-)

It'd be much better if they asked people who understand business of open source on how to drive more $.

It'd be much easier to analyze the impact.

>What exactly is your point here?

I thought it was obvious: Every individual organism in the natural ecological system, often has a strong incentive to screw over the others.

This is inherent in a universe where there is a limited amount of matter and energy, inhabited by organisms who can grow in population without limit.

Once all the matter and energy are occupied by organisms, the only way an organism can increase its population is by screwing over other organisms for their matter/energy. This is the rule of nature, but not just "trees and animals"-type nature. It's encoded into the very laws of physics which say the universe is limited, but organisms can replicate without limit.

This was also the rule of humanity up until the Industrial Revolution. It's just that a lot of people have forgotten it since then.
A major reason I still maintain a Windows install (I dual boot with Mint) is:

A. I game. Lots of stuff supported on Linux now but not some of my most often played games.

B. I use Traktor for DJing and produce with Ableton. Low latency audio is not a good fit for virtualization or emulation.

Regardless, This is a huge step forward for me running Linux more than I already do and perhaps relegating Windows entirely to a VM (if I do even that)

If this continues to improve I can see Linux based gaming devices (and pc gaming in general) starting to take off and cut into console sales.

Colab can be accessed from a free public computer or a cheap Chromebook ($200).
This doesn’t sound like the “ideal situation”, it sounds like a dystopian nightmare. One that will literally never, ever happen, but that doesn’t stop people from trying, no matter how many hundreds of millions suffer and die in the process.

Edit: I’ll also point out the irony that nothing has impoverished and starved as many people as your vision of utopia, and nothing has pulled as many people OUT of abject poverty like the inequality that you’re railing against. You can’t have markets without some degree of inequality, and billions of people TODAY are not starving to death because of market capitalism. And yet you continue to blindly suggest we kill the proverbial goose. I don’t understand.
