Jokes aside, yes my point was that the driver could be the best in the entire world, if the software has a critical bug the car could crash on its own volition. That just doesn't happen with regular cars.

Even critical bugs like the "enforced uncontrolled acceleration while on the highway" scandal in the years 2005-2010s were eventually proven to be self-prophecy cases of human error meets FUD.
in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain.

As far as I can tell, you are the only one inferring that studying architecture and similar civilized topics equates to leisure and irresponsibility. That doesn't make sense to my mind. Here's my context for such remarks:

My dad grew up in the Great Depression. He fought in two wars. He was awarded a purple heart. My mother grew up in Germany during WW2 and its aftermath.

They raised me well with values like eating well matters and petty conflicts aren't worth being grudging over. I spent nearly 6 years camping -- aka homeless -- to get myself healthier while the world heaped verbal abuse upon me for it and called me a liar and crazy.

My dream job is in the urban planning and economic development sphere. Among other things, I would love to help artists and writers and others figure out how to monetize their work and live well, even if they don't make scads of money. I would like to help homeless people access an earned income.

Before my life was derailed, I was a military wife and homeschooling parent. I would like to return to that kind of role, but on a larger scale. I would like to help raise up the region wherein I live.

Perhaps I shall figure out how to pull that off. I don't imagine it will involve a lot of leisure, though it will be the antithesis of war, even the antidote to it. Though I assume you won't see what I see there. Peace is not merely the absence of conflict. Trying to put it into words tends to be elusive.

I continue to be largely dismissed, not given support, have doors slammed in my face, etc. I also run multiple websites with useful info for people with big problems. Once in a while, someone kicks a few bucks my way and I get a smidgen of Patreon support.

So perhaps it can be grown. Perhaps this small candle I've lit in the dark void of my life can become a bonfire for others less fortunate than I am whose parents didn't similarly arm them for the battle ahead in life.
Nonsense. The instant there's somebody running into the street, too close for the car to stop, it has to hit them or dodge. Dodging off the road could kill passengers (hit a telephone pole) or somebody on the sidewalk. The very first day, self-driving software has to make this decision.
Yes, if the money was going back to the States and being paid as corporation tax over there, that’s one thing, but companies hoard the money offshore and pay no tax. It basically means that large companies get a 15-20% advantage over small companies, and that is clearly unacceptable.
> This is only true if the information is correct, and quite the opposite if we are talking propaganda etc.

But the best propaganda is true, or at least points to the truth. Does that mean some truths being widely know are bad for democracy?
To be "successful" (be visible) on "classical" social media (vs. something like HN), it seems like you have to do certain things every day - that change depending on the current algorithm ("engagement"). So classical social media (for me, FB and IG) became sort of a job. In the end, doing the social media job instead of my other "jobs" (work, family, art, etc.) isn't that interesting anymore, so I've slowed down my active use.
Christie’s sold an AI-generated painting for $432K. It’s already controversial
FTP is not only file uploads, you know. What about all the other filesystem manipulation? You can't simplify it to uploads.
You obviously didn't read the article. "The survey measures only the core Facebook app, not Facebook-owned Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger, all of which remain popular and offer a lot of room for revenue growth."
this still comes down to the reasoning if suffering "for the long game" is worth it in such a case, especially with growing inequality?

Why would i skim off all money in the first 10 years of my working life if i know the pie gets bigger, but my share as a working class person is getting smaller and smaller?
I'd argue the definition of what is open source is up for debate, but I had some reasons for this and thought about it for weeks.

I hope people know my history and how I've run projects in the past.

But what this does for me is keep me from releasing anything open core. With ansible, ansible was open source but the GUI was not, and we had to hold something back.

The traditional alternatives to OSS are to make a support business, which somewhat encourages making buggy or hard to install software, or a consulting business (IMHO, same) and all of those detract from building a product, collectively, with some of your favorite people on the internet.

So basically Vespene is going to be like a pseudo-foundation.

The structure for this is described here - http://docs.vespene.io/partnership.html - which keeps consulting and support totally free for small shops, and encouraging larger ones that could potentially make millions form Vespene to give back a very small amount.

What normally happens is large companies close six figure contracts supporting open source, and they don't give back a dime, and my goal here is to essentially make a developer's salary off of this project by having those who make more give back a very small amount.

This seems pretty fair to me, but I also recognize that some people don't agree with it.

That all being said, it's not a "no-commercial" clause in any way, and still free for small consultancies, so I'm not anticipating any major problems.

Most of the time, software gets installed in a place of business for that business.

For some of my previous thoughts on this, I'd refer folks to https://medium.com/@michaeldehaan/why-open-source-needs-new-... and later my current thinking https://medium.com/@michaeldehaan/going-with-the-commons-cla...

It's not something I've considered lightly, but this keeps MORE software open, and for a small one-person shop, I think that's more noble than trying to hold some code back and not release it at all.

Some people just want 100% free, gimme gimme, etc - and fine - you're entitled to pick one of those things. That's ok.

I personally view this a little more pragmatically, under the view of fairness, and also have taken steps (in the CLA, etc), to guarantee that trust is never going to be abused.

For instance, the license reverts to pure Apache if Vespene were ever to change hands.

On the downside, I can't get screwed over by IBM or Amazon while I'm trying to crank out free software for everyone. That seems fair too, seeing the time investment running an open source community and working on the code takes.
It’s just another sales tax. Amazon already deals with hundreds of different tax rates in different jurisdictions. They’ll just price it in.
Not speaking specifically about this situation, but just because a language considered functional implements a certain behavior doesn’t mean the behavior is functional. The causation usually works the other way. It’s because a majority of the behaviors a language implements are functional that the language is considered functional.

As an example, you can write procedural code in Java, which is the poster child of OOP programming. That does not make the procedural code OOP.
At TPAC last week the WebRTC WG decided to adopt the spec, although it needs to be verified on the mailing list, as there were some members present not in favor of adopting it.

(I'm an editor of the document and am in favor of it).
The global arguments about multinational tax usually conflate at least two issues:

- total tax the corporate pays globally; and

- share of the cake paid 'locally' vs in the home jurisdiction

This measure seems to me to be more about the second of those than the first, but politically thats a hard sell so you see all the statistics about how much tax they paid 'in the UK' etc etc. Most people misread that.

Politically of course agreeing on a fair share of the cake is much harder than saying 'we should tax them more globally'.
Squatters often enter with permission, but don't leave.
They'll lose gaming lock-in, that's already inevitable. Their only remaining leverage now is Xbox, and even there translation layers can undermine their API lock-in grip.

However attacking FOSS projects using such copyright trolling will backfire and very strongly. In doing that, MS will admit their hypocrisy and all this "MS has changed" will be proven completely wrong.

I'm not saying it's not possible for them to do such attack. But it will basically completely ruin the image they are trying to build now.
Rather than focus on the bad focus on the good part. He got someone he thought was better and decided to go with that. From a business perspective and if you remove the short term way it looks (or his reputation impact) it is a good move. Of course a writer for a blog or news site doesn't see it that way. Because of course (to take an extreme) if you just started working at the local paper and the New York Times offered you a position you'd turn it down, right?

Back in the day a long long time ago I remember someone who had taken a job at Sun. Two weeks later he left because Apple came through with an offer and he really wanted to work for Apple. I thought it was really rude because I would have never had the guts to do that. I would have felt obligated to stay at the job that I had because that is the way I was raised. But when you consider that Sun would have let him go at the drop of a hat if it suited their business purpose it actually made sense and I learned from that event and seeing what happened later because he went with Apple.
That just means they excluded Google GKE, Microsoft AKS, Amazon EKS etc.. all of the public clouds.

I have another comparison sheet for those if anyone is interested.

The report is from Forrester. I hardly ever read them but Docker has it posted all over its website so I was curious.

Forrester and Gartner seem too high profile to be biased. This one isn't sponsored so the researchers will have had free reign over what was added. If Azure Stack is really in use by many companies I'd be surprised if they missed it.
Look, you can talk about a lot of "blah, blah, blah" on this, and some of it matters to some people, some of the time. But the simple, straight-forward, naked truth is this: offer more money. Yes, some things other than money matter, but to most people, most of the time, the way to pull them away from where they are is to increase their compensation. This really isn't rocket science.

This is why I prefer the Kaiser Permanente system. It has its drawbacks but there is much better out of pocket cost certainty. When I go to ER, I know exactly what it will cost. $100 if not admitted or $0 if admitted. My blood tests are $20 per draw as are my doctor visits.

I'm also on dialysis so use them a lot. However they set it up to exclude copay for 1 visit and blood draw per month. So my OOP costs are pretty low despite my health situation.

Umm, excuse me, but your post here sounds political.

By doing so, you are interfering in other State's politics.

Perhaps you should be arrested for this political post.
Sure but then why not just raise taxes on UK citizens?

The whole point of this tax is to penalize the "tech giants" which happen to all be American, and it won't really do that.
There's still `alloca` which allocates on the stack and frees automatically.

Hey!

Any node typically would run the webserver because it's not that heavy, but doesn't technically have to. It could just run one worker process. Right now the workers do need database access and I suspect that will stay that way for the short term.

Windows needs to happen, but I'm not sure when it happens. (Also a good list discussion).

I'm a bit curious about your raspberry pi use case - maybe a good topic for the forum? http://talk.vespene.io/
Yes, this page appears to be lifted directly from that book.
It's important to note that Kristen O’Hara was also an outsider who is a "well connected, veteran exec." She had only been with Snap for 2 months.

Characterizing her as a "good employee, but ultimately an employee with no new insights or inputs" is probably not accurate.
https://w3c.github.io/webrtc-quic/ is "outside" of webrtc in the sense that it doesn't use PeerConnection and doesn't require signaling. But it currently doesn't require some form of ICE (not stun or turn, but ICE lite on a server). But we're considering adding support for an ICE-less version, and I've already started a pull request to add that.
Ask HN: What is a good way to monetize a newsletter?
Hi guys,

I'm running a little JavaScript newsletter (~600 subscribers) and wonder what could be are some ways to monetize it? Without any money flow (even a thin one) it's very hard for me to continue supporting it.
Honestly I probably would have just scribbled a name in a terrible hand writing (not hard for me anyways) and called it a day. They just wanted something on file that would never be looked at again.
No, but other people having $10bn of disposable income increases prices for you. Or if you look over the long term, skews the economy towards producing luxury goods rather than meeting the basic needs of ordinary people.
That pretty much exactly describes me - I never did delete the app on my phone but I can't remember when I last opened it. I just have no interest in checking it anymore.
Design with the earth in mind (environmental sustainability), and that food and products must be thought of from creation, delivery (less carbon footprint), to end-of-life cycle (eco-friendly/green packaging waste) in a way that is good for the earth. This should be law.

I often feel bad when I open a package and see extraneous crap that will just be thrown out. Our garbage will outlive us all. There is no need for that!

Publishing the truth only constitutes interference in the eyes of those who don't want to see it. If he was publishing fake news, I could understand Ecuador. But he doesn't.
S&P is now excluding such share structures from companies it considers for the S&P 500, so I would anticipate that this will get much rarer among public companies.
"Mueller report PSA: Prepare for disappointment"

Money has been spreading misinformation long before troll farms. Fox News doesn’t care about fact checking.

It goes back far before that. Even into this nation's early history; and all the way back, at least, to the Protestant Reformation.

Check out the Library of Congress image collection. You wouldn't believe some of the fliers (the "memes" of their time) published about Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. They make today's trolls and alt-right look like nuns.
I mean, you also work at Fb. Maybe you are biased? I have a middle line Moto-E phone and installing fb app or messenger app totally makes the phone unusable. Surely something went wrong along the way?
Deleting Facebook for me was identical to Snapchat except the timer was set to ten years rather than ten seconds.
I think the biggest issue is just that, we've seen a huge increase in people and groups' ability to have their voice heard without a commensurate increase in the ability and willingness to evaluate those voices filter out bad information/voices. Without the mechanisms at the personal levels to filter out the voice just yelling nonsense for their own gain increased information isn't good it's actively detrimental. This is because people don't have an infinite capacity to consume information and evaluate it against everything else so we wind up in a bunch of smaller communities where the individuals are getting a full helping of information but it can be completely skewed and distorted. At least in the old more monolithic days there was a more common set of facts people were working from where today it seems more and more I'm arguing the basic facts about the state of $ISSUE rather than the merits of one approach to it or the other.

> If I buy a round of drinks, do people have to pay tax?

Ideally, probably, but even in a system which tries to mitigate the advantage of generational wealth created by the current favorable regime of gift and inheritance tax by a purer income tax, the friction of taxing de minimis personal gifts as income to recipients is something you probably want to avoid.
> highest-earning first year teachers only earned $39,259

Appendix A [1] contains the salary schedule for Chicago Public Schools, which shows that in the current school year a first-year teacher ("step 1") with a bachelor's degree ("lane 1") earns between $57,000 and $69,000 per year, depending on the length of the school year in the particular school they are appointed to. A master's degree ("lane 2") bumps the pay by somewhere in the range of $4,000-5,000.

Being a coach on the sports team earns an additional $26.21 per hour of coaching, participating in after-school non-coaching, non-instructional activities earns $40.90 per hour, and after-school instructional activities earn $47.62 per hour.

It appears as though a teacher could add $5,000 or more per year with only an hour of extra time per school day.

If a teacher wanted to be frugal and save money, it surely appears possible.

Where is your proof that he coordinated anything with the Russians? From what I can see, he publishes leaks which happen to be true.
I thought about it deeply. I think in an utopian future we should give a monopoly on politics to a few public news outlets which have to as transparent as Ethereum is. Plus a few strictly enforced rules, e.g an article is either an opinion, boldly labeled as such at the start and the end, or a fact sheet.

That will have the effect of said news outlets being extremely scrutinized.

At the same time, any platform such as Twitter, IG & FB should be made illegal worldwide. The only content based platforms that are fine would be heavily scrutinized educational platforms where no politics are allowed.

I know it'll likely never happen. But what about 1000 years from now? Maybe so.

There's no other way around it. Information is power, and those systems are ripping apart humanity.

The printing press and propaganda were/are also obviously bad. BUT. If they were made hyper transparent, hyper centralized, and obliged to follow a few rules such as clear labeling, it'd be way better imho.

Said news outlet should be just one. Regulated by some new UN entity.
> This will only hurt the people who live in the UK. Those companies will just raise their prices to cover the tax.

If amazon could charge an extra 3% without losing customers to other suppliers, why wouldn't they do that with or without the tax?

Currently if amazon charge £10 and argos charge £10.20, amazon wins, if amazon charge £10.30 (to 'recover' the new tax), argos wins.
also, in most EU countries people don't pay directly for being ill, but are insured through a national insurance system.

I think having a common healthcare system where individuals are not soley responsible for their own healthcare is a good system, as it shows solidarity to all and prevents "us vs them" arguments.
I would get reasonably proficient at Ruby before tackling Rails; Rails uses Ruby to its full extent, and so you'll need the chops to know what's going on. Or at least, you used to. I imagine it's the same today.

The best book for leveling up your Ruby is "Metaprogramming Ruby". Yes, it's technically a book about metaprogramming, but in order to metaprogram, you need to learn about how Ruby really works. In my mind, if you don't grok what's in that book, you're still new at Ruby (which is okay!), and once you do, you're intermediate/advanced. Before that, the classics like the Pickaxe are good for getting started.

From there, I personally would go the "pick an issue and dig in" route; there's a lot to learn, and so having a reason to learn about a specific part of the project is a good way to get going. If you hit a wall, pick another issue.
