> free software(GNU licensed software) and how it plays out financially for all the actors involved?

A comparatively small number of people are paid directly to work on Free software. A slightly larger number of people have understanding employers who allow them to use salaried time to contribute to Free/Open projects. Beyond that is a long tail of people who make no money at all from it.

The benefit lies in the other direction, of course: you can setup a startup using only Free/Open software stack at zero cost. A very different experience from getting, say, Oracle involved to provide your database.

The benefit of contributing to a piece of software is that piece of software getting better. It's not really transactional or financial.
When one types a query, why should a search engine model search success based on what everyone else in the world searches up? Doesn't it matter more that Google finds what that person wants?

I'm not sure what's happened in the US has been entirely organic. There is a tremendous amount to be politically gained by dividing people. Imagine I'm a politician who cares nothing at all except about staying in power. One way to do this is to just do a really good job. But doing a good job is hard, and even harder when I'd like to taste of the fruits of my power on occasion, which tend to make people a bit upset. What am I to do? It's not hard. I completely remove myself from the picture. Instead if I can people completely fear, despise, and hate the other side as much as I possibly can - it works just as well. If I can make people think any alternative to me is just simply evil incarnate, then I can do whatever I want. People will still elect me because I'm 'better than the alternative', an alternative which I make sure becomes reprehensible. I can pick issues that aren't necessarily that important, but do a great job of dividing people - and just focus all my efforts on dividing people along these issues.

And this isn't a one side or the other thing. Division benefits both sides, and so playing up to their villainy works in a nice symbiotic relationship. Both sides in office are playing the exact same game, and they play it very well. There was an email from the DNC leaks from Bill Ivey, former chairman of the national endowment for the arts, to John Podesta [1]. I think he phrased things quite succinctly, "We've all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious, serious thinking - and not just poll driven, demographically-inspired messaging.".

How many people voted for Clinton thinking, "Yes - I think this politician is somebody that stands for what I truly value and will make a very good president." How many people voted for her because the alternative was completely unthinkable? And similarly for Trump voters. It's not really a conspiracy so much as the fact that politicians obviously have massive full time teams working to min-max elections, and it turns out that getting people really pissed at each other is apparently one of the best ways to do that.

None of it proves that he did the work of five people nor that those people were unfairly stolen from his lab. It shows he is great at math through. The original claim is that he single handedly did work of those 5 "very smart" people. Especially when main point in dispute is whether what he did was equivalent amount of work and which software had more bugs.

This does not even directly implies he is a good programmer (he is actually good programmer in reality, but high level math skills don't prove it).
Sexism at YC has everything to do with Sam Altman. He's the CEO. Doesn't the buck stop there?

Go ahead and ban my account. You're part of the problem.
Every time you see a claim like “study links X to Y” or “X is correlated with Y”, you should always always always remember that there are three possibilities: X causes Y, Y causes X, or some third factor Z causes both X and Y. I can’t understate the importance of thinking this way and not jumping to unwarranted conclusions. You should also exercise your imagination by trying to imagine why each of these three possibilities might hold.

Edit: There's also the possibility of spurious correlations, as mentioned in the comments below.

A lot of people don't actually seem to be sold on this, though. They seem aggrieved when it isn't also faster than walking, cycling and public transport, because they've been sold a top speed. In the local news this week: https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manches...

But a car takes up several times more area on the ground, compared to the same number of people walking or using wheelchairs, bicycles or buses — there just isn't room for every individual to have that level of luxury and leave room to move at speed.

In the UK, a "scooter" can be either a kick scooter like the one shown in the article or here: https://www.microkickboard.com/childrens-scooters ,
or a motor scooter, like the ones shown here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scooter_(motorcycle)
, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mod_(subculture)

This is a moped: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moped .
It has bicycle pedals and a motor. You don't see them much nowadays.

There have recently been many reports of "moped crime": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moped_crime_in_London
but this seems to be done on motor scooters rather than mopeds: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/terrifying-moment-west...
The typical range of problematic frequencies for photosensitive epilepsy is around 3-30Hz (with e.g. the UK having laws that govern flashing lights in the 2-50Hz range). One small chunk of text blinking at a 1s interval (1Hz), while annoying, is almost certainly not a seizure risk.
That is China in specific, which is not representative of the larger world in general, where people on mopeds for these apps are generally significantly less adherent to traffic laws.
There’s also been an increase in smart phone use during the same period. I cringe at the number of drivers I see that are fully engaged in their phones while driving. It’s too bad that distracted driving has virtually cancelled out any gains in safety that modern technology has provided (auto breaking, blind spot assist, etc,) during the same time period.
I've had chronic back pain for the past 3 or so years brought on by years of poor posture at the computer and training thai boxing intensely.

Tried various doctors, physios, osteos, acupuncture, tonnes of massage, cupping.

Finally saw some progress this year - one osteo noticed my lower back and sacrum was misaligned and adjusted it and magically the chronic pain at the lower region improved and started to shift. I also began Pilates which I believe helps to reduce the pain and improve your posture and strength - massively recommend it.

Still get pains and joint issues with the upper area now, and actually semi-sprained my lower last week but have rested and used ice baths which has helped.

Advice: try as many pros as possible, they all give you differing advice. A doctor said I had myo-fascia syndrome, after a rushed 5 min consultation - a physio later laughed at this. Do Pilates - it is designed for the spine and back posture, I found it to help and quite enjoyed it and found it relaxing. And movement and exercise is an absolute must - swimming helps.

Don't train hard martial arts. I'm struggling to fix my back and progress in BJJ.
Serious question from semi-frequent visitor to SF:

I come every couple of years for a conference in downtown SF (Moscone Center) and always stay a whole week (so I can walk around town before/after the conference - usually going north and west towards the shore/golden gate bridge).

I have not throughout the years noticed the supposed infestation of human faeces. I see a lot of homeless people, but not more than, say, Berlin. And I would say the parts of the city I walk through (and especially the parks!) are actually cleaner than Berlin (and Berlin is not that dirty).

Am I just not staying/walking through the really bad parts? Or missing something else? Or does it just take longer exposure to notice?
Very impressive. However these autopilot features are getting subjectively less impressive as time goes on. I want a bit more 'wow'.

Autopilot is not so compelling if you live in Europe with 'analog' roads rather than the mix of well designed, nice and wide 'residential', 'street level' and 'interstate highway' roads that there are in the U.S.A.

Reminds me of Space Shuttle launches, at the start of the programme people would be transfixed for hours waiting to see what would happen, a couple of years later it was 'meh', no need to put the TV on. Even if there was a cool spacewalk some of the magic was lost, awe levels dropped from 10/10 to 7/10. Autopilot is a bit like that, kind of need to see it work going through the streets of Paris, Cairo or Bombay for it to be back in the realm of stunningly amazing.

As a foreigner, what makes you think you know what america is really like? Just because of the nonsense you see on the news?

I did and many americans did. I don't believe in censorship. The easiest way to combat extremism is to show it.

> but these right-wing nut jobs somehow have a right to spread their equally harmful propaganda?

If it is harmful, isn't it better to discuss it? To put it out in the open?

> I don’t get it.

My advice is to take a class in philosophy, history and educate yourself. People who think like you are why nazi germany and the soviet union existed.

"Harmful propaganda" is the excuse every authoritarian uses to enslave their people. "Harmful propaganda" is itself harmful propaganda.

How do the saudis silence lgbt? By saying it is harmful propaganda. How do the chinese silence religion? By saying it's harmful propaganda. How do the russians silence democratic advocates? By saying it is harmful propaganda.

If there is harmful propaganda, then lets bring it to light and expose it. Only sneaky authoritarians with ulterior motives use "harmful propaganda" as an excuse to curtail people's rights.

A vegan shot up youtube a few months ago. Is veganism harmful propaganda? Should we ban all vegan content? Of course not.

Funnily enough, you have so much in common with the right-wingers you claim to hate. They hate "harmful propaganda too" and want it censored.
You seem to be under the impression that the management UI is on a public network. Ideally locked down to certain vlans.

The UI controls setting up the network and other services. Please explain how to do this without root access. (Write another process which runs as root and controls the settings and is talked to over a Unix socket actually isn't a bad idea, however, it is not void of its problems either.)

Also "most commonly exploited languages" is a bit of hyperbole, no? First, C probably takes that slot. Second, being one of the most common languages for web development makes it a target. Third, most php exploits are bad code, which, while easy to write in php (and c!), can be and is done in all languages.

Isn't the administrator interface on _any_ router essentially root access on said router? Do you complain that juniper or Cisco equipment is insecure because you can login?

BMCs (Baseboard management controllers) are something with very ... questionable ... security, yet network segregation is used to ensure its use securely. Given that many HIPAA complaint organizations such as AWS and GCP (Google Cloud Platform) I find it hard to believe that a management interface would disqualify something from HIPAA compliance.

Which part of the HIPAA audit did pfsense fail? Was it simply an abundance of caution" on your part? If so, what did you replace it with that didn't have a management or has a management interface with no bugs (hint: even Cisco and juniper have CVEs for the management interface)?

FreeBSD is great! Even as a desktop. NVIDIA builds official drivers for FreeBSD. I dont know whats the status for newer AMD graphics card. Nvidia + Intel graphics also works very well.

There is a port system where users can build the packages from sourcecode on their own machines. Its +- like gentoo.

There is also a binary pkg system. It is faster to install since the packages are already built (binary).

To upgrade from minor versions ie. 11.1 to 11.2 it is very simple and well documented. Just see in the manual freebsd-update

There is native support for ZFS also which is great.

Virtualbox works very well, so its possible to install other OSes in virtualbox. VMware i dont think is supported.

> It sounds like you're trying to downplay the experience of black people being profiled in stores.

The very first two words of my comment run completely counter to that.

The rest of your comment goes even further into strawman territory. I don't believe any exaggeration is occuring at all. Profiling is real and sucks.

edit: To clarify, I agree with the basic sentiment that the trade might be worth it for some! It is for the author...

That point would have been just as valid have without putting words in my mouth.

Make is a much of a build system as C++ as you can call stat() and system() from it.

A modern build system by default should be able to provide utilities to make sure your build is correct and reproducible. Those features need to be coded into your Makefile and aren't available easily or by default.

If you need to code those rules, then you don't have a build system, just a way to run commands and possibly add some (usually poor) logic around them.

A typical example that most handcrafted Makefiles will fail is that changing a build flag should only rebuild the files affected. Most will either require a full clean (aka ignoring the flag change) or rebuild everything.

> All of these points are brought up a lot, but none of them are really valid.

Dude, I've been cycling in all weather for 20 years. I've been hauling stuff, small and big, light and heavy. It's not as simple as you make it out to be. I've gotten stuck in snow so many times. Turns out a bicycle just doesn't have a whole lot of traction or stability when riding a crumbling layer of snow on ice. No, studs don't fix it, and cargo definitely doesn't help it. At least I can hop off and hike the bike, but maybe not if it's a heavy electric cargo bike with guitars and work equipment loaded.

I've gotten soaked so many times, and even if I've got an outer layer that keeps me dry, there are many destinations you might want to go to where they don't exactly have the facilities for you to strip and put away dripping rain gear. I've also got my cargo soaked so many times, turns out protecting the cargo from water isn't quite as easy as putting a nice jacket on. I can only imagine how much harder it gets when you're trying to haul big cargo. And I've gotten soaked many times because weather can be unpredictable and having full rain gear on you where ever you go is a little too nuts.

And no matter how much I dress, getting glasses completely dirtied with water mist or the face blasted with wind when it's -35degC outside isn't any fun, at all. I'd say I'm a rather avid cyclist, hell I rode my fixed gear road bike with 25mm road wheels to work, on snow and ice, on the coldest of winter days, because the grease on my winter bike's freewheel stiffened up and prevented the pawls from engaging. I go pretty far. But I would not expect the general population to want or even be able to put up with anywhere near as much.

And then you need to make a trip longer than you can handle on a bike.

> If I did this policy, by a frequently used door, would I end up overtrained, or would I become so strong in my arms that I could do 30-40 or so when rested? And if so, would my arms become enormous?

First, overtraining is so hard for someone just doing normal workouts. Second, progression just doesn't work that way. I've been working for a few months towards doing 500 pull-ups in a single workout. I'm at 160 now, and I still can't do 30-40 dead hang pull-ups in one set. Finally, to become enormous you need to eat.

The conflict of interest is pretty obvious when you think about it. Google is in the business of getting as much data as it can on people so it can show them "relevant" ads. Would you trust organizing the elections and counting the ballots to the majority party? Would you ask the oil industry to organize climate change research? Would you trust big tobacco's studies that cigarettes are healthy? Of course we do these things to some extent already, and we can see how skewed the results are because these parties aren't neutral when it comes to these issues. So yeah, trusting google related companies with any kind of privacy concerns can't lead to anything good (for the rest of us, not for Google of course)
