It makes me think of a piece from Peopleware (1987):

> Historians long ago formed an abstraction about different theories of value: The Spanish Theory, for one, held that only a fixed amount of value existed on earth, and therefore the path to the accumulation of wealth was to learn to extract it more efficiently from the soil or from people’s backs. Then there was the English Theory that held that value could be created through ingenuity and technology. [...]

> The Spanish Theory of Value is alive and well among managers everywhere. You see that whenever they talk about productivity. Productivity ought to mean achieving more in an hour of work, but all too often it has come to mean extracting more for an hour of pay. There is a large difference. The Spanish Theory managers dream of attaining new productivity levels through the simple mechanism of unpaid overtime.
I ask the same question. As far as I'm concerned, Bloomberg has lost all credibility due to their horrible covering of the "backdoor" implants.
Remember that implant they found about a week after the main Chinese implant story broke? "Chinese Implant Found In US Telecom"
Yeah, that was an NSA backdoor (FIREWALK) that was discovered, not Chinese. Good job Bloomberg.

AFAIK your 'naive' understanding is pretty right on. I subscribe to the philosophy of spending as much time as possible in the "sweet spot" (search on that term), which is toned down just a bit from the best effort you can do in an hour.

> therefore IS NOT OPEN SOURCE.

Please edit your comment to be more accurate.

If you later approve the license, then under your company's own definition of "open source" that means it was always open source, even now, so saying they are not open source when you admit you have not reviewed the license fully yet, is inaccurate, and could very well lead your company into legal liability if your statement turns out to be untrue and mongodb sues for slander.

furthermore: If you later deny the license, that may mean it was always not open source. May.

Your board is not the gatekeeper to the open source community, you are not the controller, authority, or president of the open source community, and the open source community as a whole is the only body that can decide what is "Open Source"
The rig was worth about $3 million as scrap in Turkey, according to the article ($190/ton at 17,000 tons). Approximately $0, maybe less, if the owners were forced to send it to an EU scrapyard, as regulators keep threatening to enforce.

At that price level, sinking it to create an artificial reef for environmental or tourism benefits is a competitive option. Though there may be other reasons it's not best suited for that.

That's just not true. The police can send a request to certain cameras recording at certain times with an explination of why they want that video. The owner then gets notified of the requet and can grant or deny it.
We've been using it for a couple years and pretty happy. Every once in a while there is a bug that takes a while to fix, but really it's been pretty great compared to what we were using before.

Not just trivial and pedantic, this has been a common avenue of attack over the years in an attempt to dilute the meaning of the term. Such as when Microsoft made a concerted effort to try to redefine open source as "non commercial" source available software.

Wrong. We are able to elect our leaders through our democratic process specifically because we are able to protect ourselves from autocratic regimes coming in and taking over. "Get rid of the military" is an idealistic view that does not take into account the reality that countries will always have different views, ideas, and opinions, and will fight for what they believe in. Before the military, there were militias.

Wait just one second here. Is docker still open source or is Moby the new open source docker?

My understanding is that recent versions of docker is indeed not open source but moby is? Is that correct according to the OSI?
Somehow it seems to me that in this day and age this difference should not be important...
News about the economy is only political if you dislike the current administration and hope to blame them for all economic bad news while finding ways to avoid crediting them for any good news or the exact opposite of that. If you look at economic news as just facts about the current situation avoid forming strong opinions about which policies may or may not have brought that situation about, you won't see such things as political issues. You'll also probably be better positioned to make the most out of whatever economic climate you find yourself in.
With all due respect, just because casualties happen in war does not mean we shouldn't have a military.

You could make an argument for slimming it down, and that we've overextended our military capabilities past where they need to be, and into foreign soil where we shouldn't have been. I might even agree with aspects of that argument.

But to advocate for removal of the military leaves the US vulnerable to anyone who hasn't gotten rid of theirs (read: the rest of the world). We fought to get out from under British rule, so that we could establish a democracy and not live under a monarchy. If we abolish the military, there is literally nothing stopping someone from coming in and ending this experiment in democracy that has lasted as long as it has.
> both parties have staked out more and more things as "theirs"

As someone who identifies as a relatively apolitical moderate, this has gotten ridiculous in recent years. I mean, whoever thought that "social justice", "science", "reality-based", "clean air", or "international relations" would be identified as partisan liberal issues, or "freedom of speech", "strong economy", or "life" could be partisan conservative issues?

Even more strangely, both sides have claimed "rule of law", and yet it seems to mean completely opposite things depending on who says it.
It seems to me that China is riding easy money and sinking it into tangible assets that, beyond default, are at least usable and semi-permanent. You can't unbuild a bridge and get the money back. It may collapse in the future, but not before reaping benefits for the economy where it's sitting.
Based only on the title alone I call bullshit. Not even worth the click.
Oh, cool. Didn't know that. Getting third-parties to integrate with something like this is a huge uphill battle - they just don't have any incentive when they don't get to design/dictate how users interface with their platforms. Ceding that kind of control to a company like Microsoft seems like a losing proposition to them, even if it may be convenient for consumers.

That's part of what makes it fun, at least when it's general randomness that pulls really interesting people into the discussion :)

I think that would have been an interesting discussion, if it could have avoided devolving into political tribalism. Your guess is as good as mine as to whether it could have. I will say it's interesting to be early in a submission that slightly contentious and to help or see some early comments steered or redirected usefully, and see an article that spent a few minutes flagged come back to life.
What about a 4) Chinese government cancels the debts of local governments like they never existed.
It definitely does help to have a PV panel directly facing the sun. People will try to install fixed-mount panels facing directly south at a tilt angle approximately the same at their latitude (45N = 45 degree tilt, roughly). But with the structures of most building roofs not matching this, it's often a best effort scenario.

The +15-20% returns that you see from having a panel that perfectly tracks the sun from sunrise to sunset are much more costly to build than to add another string of twenty, 72-cell, 360W panels mounted in a more economical fixed method.

If you are extremely space constrained and need the asbolute maximum Wh per square meter of panel per day, then a tracker might be warranted. In which case you should also be looking at super high efficiency mono panels composed of 22.5%+ expensive monocrystalline cells.
True, their are companies that have founding principles that are employee friendly, but once you have an official HR role, their job is the complete opposite. Similarly, corporate counsel is responsible to the corporate entity (are companies people?), even if that means recommending removal of the founder. A organization with employee friendly values has leadership willing to challenge HR and Legal, but that means a majority of the leadership has to be onboard. So yes, family owned businesses, tightly controlled/owned businesses probably fall into that category.
Just as I said the last time this story popped up: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17542113 People cannot use their intuition built on a western context on China. Unlike western local governments whose taxes comprise of the majority of their funding Chinese local governments collect close to no tax. Their funding comes primarily from money borrowed from other parts of the government which is standard practice and not alarming.

An analogy is like a company whose sales department generate all the cash and the engineering department generates no cash and owe billions to the sales department. Is the eng department in crisis? Obviously not. Still, oversight needs to be exerted over the eng department to make sure that it doesn't overspend or develop projects that are low in ROI... an eternal challenge.

> It doesn't follow that the deflation has been due to the deficit.

It's obvious to the economic world. That's the reason BOJ keeps buying Japanese stocks and bonds (to keep asset prices high when others have stopped buying) and Japanese people have stopped investing in Nikkei (because holding cash == increasing value)

That's also the reason Japan (notoriously closed society) is admitting defeat and letting in immigrants to work.
> If killing people is wrong, it's still wrong even when you're the one doing it.

Okay. But you still haven't solved the practical problem of people being able to violently coerce others.

Like, suppose there is an armed group Z of people who wants to control a patch of territory A and force those currently living there to perform agricultural labor and sexual favors for them. How do you prevent them from doing so?

How do you prevent the residents of territory A from saying "oh hey, how about we NOT" and forming a military to kill the approaching members of armed group Z?

This possibility is what smallnamespace meant by "trivially unstable equilibrium". It is unstable because when you do...whatever it is that you would do to set the world to this state... it wouldn't stay that way. This problem is known as the Security Dilemma.
Huh, how on earth did that get approved. It violates Section 6 of the definition: "No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor" (which specifically has the example of discrimination by disallowing software use within a business).

Personally I never liked the OSI's definition of "open source", and the FSF definition of free software has always felt (for me) to be far more fundamental.
IMHO the simplest and most straightforward solution for a CPU emulator is a single (or perhaps nested) switch statement. Finding the right case and adding code there is much less annoying than the overhead of creating and updating classes and likely also separate files.

On a related note, this is also why I don't like at all the current C#/Java "modern" style of dozens of files with perhaps one or two actual useful lines of code (the bulk of those files being boilerplate fluff and stupid comments like "// @return the return value".) Debugging is especially irritating since stepping through the code becomes substantially nonlinear with deep call stacks.

It's not actually implemented as a scannerless parser, but the grammar API mostly abstracts away the parser/lexer distinction.

a) a system of mathematics.

What is the main use-case for this? I'm looking at it from a coder's perspective. When I'm writing some code I wouldn't want somebody else inserting characters into my code while I am editing it.

But I can see that if the app is divided into a multiple code-files then different coders can be working on different files at the same time. Still I prefer some form of code ownership or at least locking of multiple files just for me while I'm working on them.

I don't quite see how it would be much different for other kinds of text. While I'm writing this post right now I wouldn't want somebody else modifying its beginning while I'm writing its end.

Not saying there aren't any good use-cases, just can't think of any right now. So that's my question, what are they?

Migrating a hot database is non-trivial in many cases. Even same database to a different cloud is not really trivial without downtime. Cross-cloud replicas are difficult, and if you do happen to use a managed DB you may have limited replication options.
Sure, but filling those gaps is the ongoing work of the foundation. The vast majority of ARM penetration is highly generic, ditto MIPS and Tensilica (e.g. my aftermarket camera lens has some 32-bit MIPS core in it, and doesn't call into MSA; this code could be compiled, assuming equivalent peripherals, to run on a standard RISC-V today and perform the same task).
How does it compare to bigquery/redshift (other than multi cloud thing).
Ill add patent trolling and copyright issues like API ruling to what you said. The companies with money can pay bribes to weaken or block FOSS activity in varios ways. Better if OSS/FOSS companies have business models with money to fight that.
Of course these types of people feel fear. Some more than others, some less. It depends on their training, and temperament, and the situation. Even in a combat unit it's highly likely at least one person is going to curl up into a ball and piss themselves while crying. Then there are the guys who run through a hail of bullets...

I think of it like Heraclitus; “Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn't even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.”

In the modern context, what equals out those numbers is largely training and muscle memory, so that once your adrenaline kicks in and your brain isn't fully functioning, you still know what needs to be done and can do it almost on autopilot. That can turn more of the 80 into the 9, so to speak, which is what a modern military needs.

> Or in the web dev world, a framework might abstract away the underlying standards and add complexity on top to seem simple, but actually make the domain more complex with more to learn and push for developer lock in to the framework over basic standards and simplicity. The first version of .NET with WebForms was an example of this, other web frameworks can be seen as this as well.

I've been saying for years that this concept, that abstraction has a cost and isn't just a free simplification, is one of the primary misunderstandings that is holding the web ecosystem back. If every JS (and Python, and PHP etc) dev understood this, we'd be in a much better place, building much better software.

I think they meant that changing RDBMS is hard, even though in theory you should be able to because you're "just using standardised SQL". As it is with cloud providers, in theory they're mostly the same, except in all the places they aren't, which make it hard to move once you're using one.
