I was hoping and looking for ePub support, and it's listed in the long term section of the roadmap. That's the main feature I'd want. This looks really nice (though I'm not a fan of Electron apps). I can't wait for the ePub support.

Another thing I'd like to see is a mobile app, on iOS and Android.

Hindsight is 20/20, but with so much cash flowing around in VC land there was obviously a lot of "dark money" involved. Whether it's funding from sovereign wealth funds of nations whose actions go against the overall beliefs of SV, or dollars that were generated as a result of war and shady business practices (tax evasion, etc.).

Many industries took a stand against conflict minerals, it was an action that could be directly traced back to a very sympathetic group. Money is a different beast, you can obscure its origin in many different ways.

At the end of the day the buck will stop with VCs and the entrepreneurs who take their money. If you have a dream and your company needs cash to fulfill that dream, how deep are you willing to go with due diligence to verify that the check you've received isn't covered in blood? Motivated reasoning is a hell of a drug.
Wow, that organic clock is gorgeous! But I think this person is really missing the boat by not partnering with a manufacturer and selling kits and/or finished products. You could probably sell that organic clock as an art work for $1k or more.

About half of all of the money that flows into Backblaze from customers gets spent on the datacenter, and the largest component of that is drives. I think sales tax and property tax is the second largest datacenter component. It turns out you don't just owe property tax on buildings and land - if you own something of significant worth like $10 million worth of hard drives in a large pile, you owe the government "property tax" every month for owning that property.

Hi (App Engine PM here).
Yes both libraries connect to the same database (Cloud Datastore). cloud.google.com/go/datastore is preferred as it uses the Cloud Datastore API instead of the App Engine specific API, so your code will be portable.

You are right that the devil is in the details, and there might be some slight serialization differences. I cannot find an exact list.

You sound like you're arguing just to argue. Do you have a valid point? Their OSD is what defines open source. You didn't define it. It wasn't defined at some party or demo-conf. It was defined by the OSI - they defined Open Source Software. Arguing otherwise shows a serious lack of OSS knowledge.

As a whole? Probably not. As an online merchant. It's unlikely but possible.

The HN crowd and its ilk have been complaining about quality control for a while. Electronic components and labor for assembly are getting cheaper by the year. Grab a popular electronic item's circuit diagram (say Bluetooth earbuds), spend a few hundred reproducing the form factor of a popular major manufacturer, volume manufacture in China, and sell! Better yet, brand yours as a competitors (or however that works) and reap the profits as your cheap knockoff gets sold as the most popular item in that category. It's gotten so ridiculous that even my non-tech peers are starting to steer away from Amazon for certain purchases. I've even seen claims that there are fake/counterfeit diapers masquerading as ubiquitous brands.

But it's not just limited to counterfeit goods. The quality in general of certain products (usually electronics) is abysmal. I don't fault Amazon for this - you can find cheap electronics in big box stores that will break just as quickly as an something on Amazon. Brick and mortar stores had shelf space on their side.

If you go to a big box store for wireless earbuds, you'll likely see Beats, Samsung, Apple, Bose, etc. taking up most of the shelf space. If you do a search on Amazon for wireless earbuds, the first page (for me) has 15 organic results, and Apple is the only brand that I recognize. Again - not inherently bad, but I'm hard pressed to believe that even with hundreds to thousands of reviews per item, you're buying a quality product that will last for more than a year of regular use. I've bought a popular set of earbuds before based on Amazon's search. The first pair lasted 3 months. I got a second pair under warranty, and it died in the same manner after 3 months.

Amazon is a titan in this space. It would take a lot of neglect for their retail side to outright fail. But if they don't fix their quality issues with their supply, they're going to start trending in the wrong direction.
Oh I agree what you say is true for many areas. But what I say is also true for others. It depends on what the person is aiming at.

My general point was that there are no magic bullets. I was always to irritated at the Hollywood trope of the person who hates their job and decides to change their life... and then we fast-forward to them having a villa at the sea and working only when they want. I was trying to show that a lot of hard work is involved, and that some sacrifices have to be made.

It's their code so (under current law) they can license it however they want. I see some potential issues, though.

> "Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate."

I don't see how to reconcile this with the new section 13, which seems to say exactly the opposite. What does this section mean, now that section 13 was completely changed?

> it has now submitted the SSPL for approval from the Open Source Initiative

IANAL but I don't see how it satisfies part 9 of the OSI Definition, or the DFSG. As DannyBee already mentioned, it's also incompatible with other existing open-source licenses. Why do they want to continue calling it "open source"? It sounds like they really just want to be a proprietary database.

> For virtually all regular users who are currently using the community server, nothing changes because the changes to the license don’t apply to them.

Really? It's written in a way that sounds like it captures all users under the same umbrella as resellers. If I wrote a data analysis web app that happened to use MongoDB (as one of my previous employers did), isn't that a case of adding "user interfaces" (and "storage software and hosting software") for it, meaning I'd need to provide source code for "all such that a user could run an instance of the service using the Service Source Code you make available"?

I can't find any license pricing info on the MongoDB webpage, but some googling turned up a whitepaper that puts MongoDB licensing at around $11,000 per server per year. That basically means MongoDB's own "cloud" services are the only game in town. ("No, Mr Bond, I expect you to die.")

That means there's a single provider of this API, and you can't afford to run your own server, so it's essentially cloud-only, and it might not be legally compatible with other open-source software you want to use anyway. That's a whole lot of risk you're asking me to take on. Is MongoDB so much better than any free database, for any new users, that it's worth this risk?
Regarding number 2: by that definition of yours, Microsoft Shared Source Initiative in the early 2000s was also "open source". See the problem with not having a precise and standardized definition?
Maybe it's inevitable, but who cares...SEARS milked it for 130+ years. That's about 4-5 generations. But I tell you, no one is going to allow AMZN control 50++% of online sales for decades to come.

I installed the app and still have no idea what to do. I would like to start an experiment where I import several Linux distribution torrents (that I already have) and have people download from me.

I don't want to download them from scratch because I already have them.

How do I do this? Or am I misreading the idea of the app? It seems to me that it is a BitTorrent client with extra features, am I wrong?
I don't need to remind you the tax that Apple was demanded to pay.
What has stopped them from doing this all this while? A shell company by Samsung renders any deals with Google impotent - a strategy used by many Chinese OEMs who have Google Android for international markets and their own app stores within China.

This is not my opinion. If you go to a VC or even YC with these claims, they will counter with the widely available data pointing towards the high probability of a third ecosystem failing.

The OSI is the founder and DEFINER of the term "open source" so saying that it's open source without an OSI approved license is like saying your app's an approved Android app without it first being reviewed. Get it??

I can understand that, but I still would prefer that over the alternative of changing history, losing context at why the revert happened (or that it happened at all!), and having to dig through reflog and hope that the machine that it was done on is available and hasn't dumped the code to be able to recover the commit needed.

In your scenario, it's a puzzle to unfuck, but it's unfuckable after a bit of work. In the alternative you run the risk of losing work, or blowing out other's commits and causing work for multiple other team members.

I guess my point was that I feel "revert commits" should be treated as the default, and the goto in most situations, and only using something like `git reset HEAD^ --hard` when you really need to, or a revert won't do. I'll be honest, I sometimes use a "reset and force push" when I've fucked up an ugly merge, or I want to undo the last few commits at once, but it's the exception, not the first tool I reach for.

No, I think the real goal here is to make it effectively impossible to use this in a business setting without buying a commercial license. I'm glad Linus and RMS didn't see it that way.

I'm saying the premise as a whole backfired. I assume the end goal was to benefit end consumers. Now, end consumers will have to pay more for something that was previously free, since my gut says that most device companies will choose to pay the licensing agreement and just pass the costs along by increasing the sticker price.
Lyft Hires JP Morgan to Lead IPO
I miss HN
I stumbled on a comment here, a couple of days ago. The author noted how he wished there were more discussion on HN about building—like in the community’s early days.

That same thought has run through my mind for a while, now. I used to visit HN several times a day, as the content felt so relevant. I still find interesting things to read here, but it’s less related to what I work on.

I do visit IH, but it’s not as good as HN once was. I joined FounderCafe, which has useful discussions—but isn’t particularly active.

I don’t mean to complain. I’m sure that others prefer how HN is now. That said, I keep wondering if others share this sentiment. I work somewhat in isolation, and enjoy this sort of online discussion. I also find it motivational to read about other’s experiences while building stuff.

In part, I wonder if this sort of discussion could be fostered on HN. Perhaps there could be one more link in the top bar, labelled: Build.* This could focus on discussion about working on products. Again, not sure that this suits anyone else, but I figured I’d ask. :-)

* I also recognize that Bookface is probably where this happens for YC people/alumni. Curious as to whether they might open that up to others who’re interested.

I would stretch my hip flexors by lying on my stomach and grabbing one leg at a time by the heel, and also go into a super-low squat position while holding on to something for support, letting the low back really stretch. Another one was lying on my stomach, arms above me somewhat wider than shoulder width, and twisting from one side to the other. I'm not sure which of these helped most but between them my APT disappeared.
Only suitors are so unlikeable. The other characters are either described by Odysseus himself or not nearly as much unlikeable. And also, narrator describe moments when one of suitors attempt to calm their behavior. I don't think narrator goes out of way as contemporary "narrators do". This is imo where Odysseus is different then action movies and adventure books, altrough people project that attitude on the poem.

The characters complains are concrete and provide multiple vitnesses to the abuse. The suitors are described to be abusive, threaten people living in house, mistreat them, kill animals and refuse to leave with open threat of violence if you try to make them leave.

The good innocent boys interpretation is not supported by the text, even if you mistrust the narrator. You can make that case about cyclop where Odysseus is intruder, but not about suitors.
I dont understand why this is so hard. If you take a document and enter each character into a database as a separate entry, then only lock each character as it's changed and unlock it immediately afterwards. The likelihood that all individuals will be modifying the same character at the same time is low. and while it's locked, the person trying to change it will see it's not changing - so they'll try again in a second or two by which time it will be unlocked.
While I generally agree they are nice, one nit is that some of the fonts are unnecessarily small and/or faded.
