What part do you disagree with? It sounds like you're agreeing fervently with the parent & GP comments...

That said, effort isn't generally what makes or breaks art, either in the gallery / collector world, nor among artists. Very, very few stippled paintings that took more than 5 hours of work are considered profound in any way. It's been done already.

Maybe you meant to imply skill, but skill isn't that important to art history either. Somewhat important, perhaps, but not generally in the top 3. Concept and narrative and novelty and luck all outweigh effort and skill, even among unpretentious skilled poor artists.

> The art world isn't full of bohemians... it's full of pretentious, bored, rich people.

I'd be careful to qualify that statement. There are lots more poor artists than rich people. When you say "the art world", if you're talking about Christie's and Sotheby's, then yes there are rich people. My personal "art world" is full of artists, and I don't pay attention to the stuff the auction houses are auctioning.
Note that tech, and especially the tech examined on Hacker News, is an outlier in American business. If this were Civil Engineer News or Actuary News, you'd see a very different attitude toward hiring and firing.

Startups are quick to hire and fire because hiring exactly the right person is important, and hiring the wrong person can cripple the company. Everyone who applies for a position at a startup knows how this works, and I'd argue that if you aren't okay with this atmosphere, you need to avoid the startup scene and go work for a big company with some decent HR policies.

The bullshit shows up when a startup succeeds, and the company tries to preserve its startup culture because they want to keep growing like a startup. You then get BigCo politics with startup arbitrariness, and that's a recipe for disaster. Similarly, sometimes the Good Idea Fairy whispers in the ear of a high-up executive, and he tries to institute startup attitudes toward hiring and firing at a BigCo. This also goes poorly.

Yeah the headline is super misleading. Implies it's recent and all at once, like they'd be ignoring sexual harassment and decided to finally crack down.

But the article itself paints the opposite picture.
Given OpenBSD's pre-embargo leak of KRACK, I'm not sure why they feel entitled early access...
GP's point is that plenty of asteroids have crashed into the moon in a recent enough time frame that the debris is still "fresh". After all, there's not much erosion on the moon.
The "parachute" has nothing to do with the sexual harassment claim. I don't get why, even if Rubin were guilty, one should cancel the other. Should they ask back his salaries as well? Take his house?
On the topic of differences between package managers, I must say that Arch's Pacman blew the major competition (Yum + RPM, APT + DEB) out of the water when I switched in 2012 (because I liked systemd and didn't want to run a desktop environment) in terms of performance and useful features (like showing the optional dependencies, and their value propositions, while installing). I used to lament using yum because of how much time it would spend getting the metadata shuffled, APT has that kludgey update vs. upgrade distinction and still isn't as fast as Pacman/ALPM.
I take probably 15 pictures a year at best so haven't run into any issues as I've simply not used it other than one or two test shots.
As it was mentioned in the article this looks to be a direct response to the NYT article. It’s easy to pretend to care after everyone has found out. I’d be curious to know the details of the allegations against the 48 to gauge whether they were sacrificial lambs at the altar of public relations.

Edit: Missed that this was since 2016, makes sacrificial lamb theory less likely.

No, not currently; however, we offer hosted deployments of PipelineDB as well as a SaaS product called Stride (stride.io), which is based on PipelineDB.
Yep, definitely click-bait to make it seem like a sweep that just happened. Recommending the following headline instead: "Google has fired 48 employees since 2016 due to sexual harassment".
That would interfere with onboarding more H1-Bs. Look, we can't find anyone to do these jobs...
Well, not only Obama didn't fight it, he actually ordered the FBI to ignore the drug trade by Hezbollah operatives in south America because he wanted to be nice to the Iranians and the stupid deal he have made with them. It is no wonder that now that Trump is in power things are getting better but be sure the media will not come to this obvious conclusion.
I had to reread your comment several times before I think I parsed it correctly. "Labor" is people, right? But not the same people as "The American Capital Class"?

Anyway, I'm pretty sure there are bond and cash options in most retirement accounts, if the stock market isn't your thing.

And my original comment wasn't really saying I'm happy about the rising costs of health care, just pointing out a small silver lining to it, or maybe just an idea of how to make it hurt less.
My math says that's about 2 HCF (hundred cubic feet, which is what our water is billed as) per month? That's considerably lower than the typical water usage in drought-ridden Santa Barbara of 11HCF. It's also double the baseline usage of 4HCF (after 4HCF rates go up).

With 3 adults and 4 children in my house we used 4-6HCF per month with no garden (when we moved in the irrigation system used about 12HCF per month on its own, we landscaped the yard to eliminate the need for outside watering).
Drill and uninspiring
> and you have a much safer drug that's not going to be much more expensive available to purchase.

Around here (Australia) there is a huge difference in price, cocaine is hugely expensive and meth can be cheaper than legal cigarettes. I've heard of cocaine being much cheaper in the US but maybe that's regional? I think there are also supply issues, something that can be produced in a home lab is going to be around much more consistently.
Rotting meat definitely glows. I've personally seen decaying mammal carcasses glowing in the woods at night (always either green like foxfire or an odd almost monochromatic cyan that must really stimulate the eye's rod cells).

It's very faint and would be difficult to notice without trees to shield it from moonlight. A camera could pick it up with a long exposure.
The article doesn't say wether the sacking was a new policy as of 2016. The real question is if they sacked just as many (well,... just as often) during the time of Andy Rubin.
Ah, so you are afraid people that people who use and repair tractors, and can already break them in many ways that you don't understand (e.g. mechanically), will break them in a way you do understand (using software!), and so you would rather have those ways be illegal to keep you from worrying.

Using your line of reasoning, we should close down repair shops altogether. How can we trust people without engineering degrees work on something like brakes? Before we know it, we'll see buses full of schoolchildren on fire or something.

The fearmongering aspect of "combine running through an elementary school" aside (although perhaps the fact that schools aren't usually located in corn fields and have walls could warrant a reminder), I personally find the general approach of "I am afraid of X, so let's make/keep X illegal" terrifying.
Further, to that point, any manager that dislikes a report is likely going to have a very difficult time getting quality work out of that report regardless of how talented they may be.

Ergo, the report's performance may be suffering, but entirely because they're being poorly managed.

Also known as "Management by Bestseller".

Some CEO of a successful company writes a book claiming his management wisdom led to his company success and then a bunch of CEOs read the book and try to replicate the same success because they don't have any original ideas themselves. In this instance the CEO was GE's Jack Welch and his policy was 'rank and yank'

Similarly, some CEO will write that you must have a mission statement and distill your management philosophy into 3 or 4 words preferably starting with the same alphabet. Next thing every CEO has their own tag lines: 'Agility, Accountabilty, Ambition' or 'Passion, Persistance, Performance' or <insert words from thesarus>.
My previous company CEO spent thousands of dollars on polished metal tangram squares with her three words embossed on them given to every-single-employee at the company.
Chemical reactions by bacteria breaking down food produce light, enough for humans to see in only the darkest of places (if you live in a city, you won't ever encounter dark enough situations).

Some city folk have doors and window shades. My old apartment kitchen was on the windowless side of the apartment with a door. If you close the door (and unplug the microwave), it was pitch black. Though I never saw any glowing food, not even the spoiling fruit on the counter.
I used to help teach a undergraduate senior design course, and the number of students who want to do exactly this is staggering.

Technically, Tumblr provides persistence for ramblings and pictures and makes them available to the public. Tumblr is a brand wrapped around a database.

How am I making them falsify their opinions? My identity is not an opinion-based phenomena; you can refer to me by female pronouns and be incorrect, or you can refer to me by male pronouns and be correct. Your opinion on whether or not I'm male or female seems entirely beside the point.

That happens because there are many hills which tend to spawn rainclouds when the humidity hits a certain threshold. So while there is moisture in the air it mostly falls in the mountains. Other places with this pattern include e.g. Morocco or the Snake River Valley in Idaho.

Complexity is a risk, but we also care deeply about performance and startup time in much the same ways Chrome does. So we need that JIT.

I'm comforted by the fact that if there's a breakout in V8, Chrome is a much juicier target than we are -- and has an incredibly strong security team that will jump on the issue. I think we would be overall less secure using a lesser-known JS implementation.

IMO this kind of lookup table is best computed externally, e.g. by a python script, and included as a literal `constexpr std::array` or something. I was recently trying to do something very similar with constexpr lookups, and threw in the towel due to different compilers having different levels of constexpr support. With literal tables, you know exactly what's going to happen.

Constexpr has tons of promise, but the compiler support just isn't there yet - we still have to think really hard about it and look at the generated code to verify.

Much of what you say about the lack of clarity is fair, but we hope that those things will be resolved when the SSPL gains OSI certification. In the meanwhile, we will do our best to 1) listen closely to the specific arguments as to what is unclear, and 2) attempt to dispel what we see as misunderstandings, often prompted by what is essentially FUD.

I appreciate your suggestions on what other licensing options we have. I think you really get what we are trying to do. That strategy is exactly how MongoDB has sold its enterprise edition for years. With apologies if I'm pointing you to something you've already read, we think the current landscape of the tech industry makes that insufficient, as our CTO's announcement post goes into: https://www.mongodb.com/blog/post/mongodb-now-released-under...

Anyhow, I do want to address this:

> It creates all sorts of headaches. And conveniently your company's way to solve that is a commercial license.

I think this is unfair. Everything we have said about the SSPL makes clear that it has one very exclusive set of targets in mind: large scale cloud providers with the means to strip-mine not just MongoDB, but any open source project with significant traction. And the one actual data point in this conversation supports that position: fatbird posted that they were on a sales call with MongoDB recently, specifically asked if they were affected by the license change, and were told "no". Is that a legally binding rider to the SSPL? Of course, not, but if the plan for the SSPL was to use it to wring money out of community users, wouldn't the answer have been "yes"?

If you've already read that announcement post, or if you now do, would you let me know if it makes anything clearer?
"...they still could have just rewritten the same code and it would have escaped the licensing."

I may be misinterpreting your intent, but this seems disingenuous to me. I can't go look at the Linux kernel, then 'rewrite' [the same code] with my fingers and keyboard to escape copyright ownership of Linux kernel contributors.

I can rewrite code that implements a described process. Or code that implements a described interface. If this was your intent, I'll take the blame for misunderstanding. But I caution the use of phrases like "the same code" when you actually mean new code that implements the same process.

And this is where a project/library/framework goes to hell. More additions and more additions - cause we need to build more stuff, right? It becomes ever increasingly complex and difficult for new coders to learn, until one day you wake up and you're looking at Angular JS.
Can't see the point on publicizing this. There is so much that can go wrong; auto steering could fail due to a slight misalignment in sensors, noise from the custom wiring, any kind of mismatch in the hardware or software. It is irresponsible to use the feature on public roads.

No you're right but what it lead to it was sites like Reddit closing down things like /r/darknetmarkets, and /r/rcsources which are both review and sourcing subreddits. It made other forums scared to touch the idea of sourcing because the act can be used against any illegal activity.

I've found the best way to read those sorts of books is to treat the proofs as the exercises, i.e. doing the proof blind and using the proof inside as a check.
Why lectures do not work
This sounds like a niche for a small Pacific island. Islands like Jersey and the Cook Islands tailor their legal systems to cater for those who want a looser financial system. A small state could tailor their laws for those who want to repair things and potentially make a very nice "high tech" economy out of reverse engineering, importing broken stuff and exporting fixed stuff. Copyright holders might try and block an import, but they would be fighting a harder battle against "parallel import" laws.

as I read it, it seems openbsd's X maintainer, matthieu herrb, knew about it but didn't tell theo or the other openbsd devs. that seems strange, and not really related to early access.
> I’ve had more time to look at it, I'd really recommend that everybody stay the f%!# away from MongoDB.

That’s virtually the word-for-word conclusion that anyone who’s “has some time to look at mongoDB” has come to. It’s a steaming pile of feces, and this is no surprise. From day one, the mongo team has made it clear that they are a startup first (in the sense of “focus on wooing investors with buzzwords and making money”) and a software engineering firm last.

I have the impression that he conflates the Chicago School of economics with Austrian Economics. Austrian school was an influence, but more on market incentives, less state and esp. less taxes. whilst the Chicago school took it to the extremes explained in the post.

Hayek was a crazy radical ("its all the socialists fault") , much more than Friedman ("it's all the cartels fault"). But Austrian Economics should not be conflated with Hayek only, it mostly refers to the pre-modern Laissez Faire Habsburg states, and not the neoclassical coperatism and neoliberalism.
How is his severance legitimate if a regular employee would never get this type of consideration? Regular people don’t get severance when they decide their job is boring and they want something new.
It also means that US employees are able to leave the next day if they want and that company hiring decisions don't have to factor in that it's going to be really really hard to get rid of someone if they don't work out or circumstances change. It allows a lot for flexibility for everyone, with some costs.

It would be unreasonable to expect every company that uses open source software to have a PR accepted for every such software they use.. most companies using open source software are not software companies and don't employ programmers.

It also goes against the spirit of the free software ethos. The end user has the right to use their software as they see fit, which includes not contributing back. If you don't find that acceptable, write it in the license. If they violate the license, sue them.
They have no idea whether you are something valuable or not. They are gambling, and it's their job to find undervalued companies. To them, there's zero benefit to ever closing the door. If they close the door, you won't come back, and someone else makes all the money. They will keep it open forever, in case your little company turns out to be the next Facebook or Google. They are not actively seeking to waste your time, and they are not wasting their own time. By not saying yes, and leading you on, they are telling you they don't see you as a gold mine yet.
This is a juvenile expectation of what such a policy would produce.

I think you stepped over the other key detail “mentioning an open relationship”, I don’t think they’re all together slamming burning man
Very true.

A pattern I've seen when relationship between employee and superior goes south is similar to disfavored step-child:

They get less praise for doing well, and more blame for any mistake.

This tends to escalate over time, and very often the employee's performance will degrade (since they won't get any credit anyway) which escalates the situation.

Often they "patch things up" a few times, but if they really aren't compatible, it's just a tenuous forced balance that will eventually break and plunge the relationship to even deeper depths.

Of course in this situation, all performance reviews for the employee are anywhere from slightly to heavily distorted in their disfavor.

This will always result in one of them eventually leaving the team, typically the employee.
