"Open Source" has always had a strong definition. I respect your work and your reasons for choosing a non-open source license. I actually read about the partnership program on your site. I think it is an interesting business model.

If you are interested, there are two big reasons why my organization would not consider adopting it:

1) We are culturally and organizationally aligned with the open source movement.

2) (More widely applicable and practical) Risk Management. If IBM takes Ansible in a direction that is not aligned with our needs, we can fork it. More importantly- we can pay some one else to fork it, or sponsor a community of developers who want to fork it. Those developers would be under no obligation back to IBM to ask for a Partnership agreement to be able to support the fork.

You stated that "the license reverts to pure Apache if Vespene were ever to change hands". I did not see those terms, and that is definitely something to consider, but even with that, your organization may still make decisions that aren't aligned with a subset of the communities interests.

As an aside, thank you very much for creating Ansible, it is a fine product! Good luck with Vespene, I hope you find great success with it.
Hey HN - we've recently spent a lot of time trying to make our careers page great at Streak. We're really trying to communicate what it would be like to be an engineer at Streak.

We'd love some feedback on whether it resonates with this community - feel free to be harsh, we just want to make it better.
Well, they are now on their way to also ruin WhatsApp. That could be the third platform they ruin :P
Honestly, you have to be pretty ignorant to hold this opinion.
This looks like it is on gross sales? If so that would hurt low-margin companies quite a lot; I imagine Amazon would be essentially forced to increase prices by 2% for example.
I may not understand how these cameras work but how does cutting the power to these prevent those people from being injured/dying? Sure people aren't going to get tickets from them but the yellow light is still going to be shortened. So even if they take the cameras out, unless they put the yellow light back to 5 seconds, the injury/fatality rate is still going to be elevated.

> There again, Semite is a category that includes many populations of which Jews are not even the largest

I have to admit, up until now I never thought I'd see anyone seriously try the "Arabs are Semites too!" argument, which is in all other circumstances a parody of message board concern trolling.
You get used to it in an incredibly short period of time. I'm less than a hundred feet from the Amtrak line, and you just don't even notice them going by after a while. It's the 100+ long freights that aren't slowing down to stop at the station in town that shake the windows....
A stoic would say "If you don't have control over something then don't worry about it."

I don't think this is a good example of government corruption. It's just a population stunned by lack of education trying a feel-good solution to a problem that works against their best interests. It's the same as most laws in our society - gun control, marijuana prohibition, the list goes on and on.

Results Driven Backlogs: Keep an eye on your fuel gauge
John Lang was severely mentally ill. And police didn't rule his death a suicide: the coroner did, because the stab wounds he experienced were superficial and appeared self-inflicted, and his cause of death was from smoke inhalation. Firefighters had to chop down barricades that had been constructed from the inside of his house.

Plus, the police aren't going to kill you by stabbing you and then burning your house down (at least, if they're acting as part of a conspiracy). There's no benefit and huge potential costs for them.

I think Facebook is juicing their DAU metrics by gaming people with "friend suggestion" notifications.

My usage is way down and I barely check it, maybe once in a couple weeks, but after I check it I get a sudden uptick in notifications. Mostly "friend suggestions". There's nothing new about them. In many cases they've suggested them before. But it seems like they just want to slide into my notifications and keep that red badge lit up and just trigger me to open up the app. But not too much.. after I ignore it for awhile they die down, probably so I don't uninstall entirely. Then the cycle repeats a couple weeks later.

And I could be wrong but it looks like they removed the ability to turn off friend suggestion notifications. You can turn just about everything else off but not that one. Hmmmm...
This is a lovely wedge of experience.

You are of course very correct that if you have a massive number of processes using files for IPC, things will fail in very strange ways.

One of the very positive things that AWS/GCE provide is simple scalable primitives, with obvious metrics to measure limits. For example SQS is a brilliant primitive for many-many message based processing. It avoids the horror of running a HA kafka queue(or worse).
It didn't have anything useful for me. Just a bunch of people I vaguely knew complaining about things that diddn't affect me. Combined with the marketed crap, spyware, and adblocker circumvention it was actively detrimental to go there.

Ask HN: Generating images rather than compression
I read something once about how google stopped sending an actual img file for their google logo across the net to users. Instead it sent a function that generated the logo.

Actually, critical thinkers will separate ideas from their source.
I agree Twitter's low-friction nature has led to reckless and/or inappropriate usage -- Musk isn't even the most egregious case by far, compared to President Trump using Twitter (instead of the traditional longform mediums) to disseminate his thoughts, or colossal mistakes by people like Rep. Anthony Weiner.

But Twitter's benefits do not have to be exclusive to it for Twitter to be a unique service, just as Google and Facebook were not the first or only in their respective categories.
The vehicle would likely do what a human would do: slam on the breaks.

Also, it has no way of knowing whether anyone would die.

And, finally, a good-enough car should see people from much farther away than a human, react faster, and drive slower (at the speed limit). That means someone would almost literally have to jump in front of the car to trigger this scenario.
Afaict on a quick skim, the elm guide makes no reference to testing, and other than fully specifying your dependencies with only pure functions, doesn’t seem to resolve the question of minimal state to generalize a test.

Html might be inherently simpler because the total output state is simpler (just the html), but then you have things like caching, cookies, browser versions, etc, which elm does not appear to capture in its dependencies

So.. whats the relevance to this conversation?
Your entire first post on this topic turns out to be completely wrong yet you act like none of that happened and throw out more non-facts.

Being "brand loyal" in this regard doesn't make a lot of sense anyway. It's just a tool. You use whatever gets the job done at the moment.

I was glad to see Portland represented (hey, inDinero, greetings from NE Portland!). Sometimes startups refer to this part of the Pacific Northwest as “Silicon Forest”, though that hasn’t seemed to take off.

My old stomping grounds in Los Angeles made a good showing (Hush, SFOX, GOAT, and Soylent), and my bet is more and more future startups will be based there than anywhere else outside of SF and NYC.

Sometimes called Silicon Beach, which was originally the name for San Diego’s startup scene and later claimed by Venice & Santa Monica — though it really refers to all of LA at this point.
I wonder how this deals with the stippling seen in black and white printed pages. As someone familiar with digital drawing/editing, any slight imperfection in the pattern becomes super obvious and it's even worse with stippled gradients.

I'm sure it'll be a useful tool with refinement, but this is still a solution to an artificial problem. There's no reason for Japan's current censor laws to exist in 2018.
I have no problem with people prepping. I understand and accept the reasons for it. I have a problem with people thinking they can just disengage from society and survive. As a hobby, prepping is fine.

If we all disagree what the solution to societal problems is, it is tempting to think I can have my solution independently of others. With this convenient illusion, it is easier to walk into societal collapse. Just live the sweet life now, and when it hits, I run off.

And hurricane Katrina? You realize that many deaths would have been prevented if the levees had been constructed properly? Sure, in hindsight that is easy to say. But that's exactly the issue here: The prepper mindset does not include collective protection. It doesn't scale.

Agreed, but I think for the most part aviation safety is well under control, and there's not need to shock people into action. However, Indonesia might well be an exception.

Note also, though, that this only works if shocking pictures are used very sparingly, and only really to make an important point.
It's very biased, but they often have audio, video, photos, or scanned public records to back up the factual portion of the story. It's probably safe to believe that traffic light cycles have been shortened, people have been injured post-shortening (though perhaps not because of it), and the subject of the article has been attacking the automated ticketing hardware in protest. Aside from that, it's all about stirring up visibility and support for the guy.

Article suggests his effort have been kept out of the mainstream news out of corporate malice, but it's probably just because a single-person protest isn't very newsworthy until there is a hospitalization or an arrest.

ABSTRACT

"Trapping of bodies by waves is extended from electromagnetism to gravity. It is shown that gravitational waves endowed with angular momentum may accumulate near its axis all kinds of cosmic debris. The trapping mechanism in both cases can be traced to the Coriolis force associated with the local rotation of the space metric. The same mechanism causes the Trojan asteroids to librate around the Sun-Jupiter stable Lagrange points
L4 and L5. Trapping of bodies in the vicinity of the wave center could also be related to the formation of galactic jets."
I disagree. The idea behind sites like gab is that sites like Twitter are increasingly functioning like public spaces, but they exercise great ideological control over what one is allowed to say within those spaces. The folks behind gab and similar sites think that one should not be banned from Twitter -- that is quite different from speech without consequence. One can still be humiliated, shamed, and socially shunned in every way possible. You could still be fired from your job. You could also just be completely ignored -- merely not being banned from Twitter does not grant you even a single follower.

To illustrate the issue, consider that one can be suspended or even banned from Twitter simply for stating (rightly or wrongly) that there are two genders. But Sarah Jeong-style tweets are considered perfectly fine, even though they are hateful and racist in many ways. I think these examples illustrate that what is at stake here is much more than just the ability of mass murderers to spew hatred.

To make your analogy stronger, you would have to imagine a world in which theaters had become the standard place to talk and engage in discourse amongst tens of millions of people simultaneously.
The problem is for highly global, IP based companies it is very difficult to tax profits.

You can just create a 'cost' (platform license fee, trademark cost) in another sister company (that is in a low/no tax jurisdiction) and charge it to the UK based one that is equal to the profit. Boom, no profit due to tax.

Not really sure what the best solution is. The UK isn't really big (or competent, depending on your outlook) enough to make tech giants like the US, so tech US companies dominate.

This has led to a massive outflow of tax revenue to these US giants. Eg, most advertising revenue pre internet would have stayed in the UK and been taxed in the UK. Post internet it is all flowing out to Facebook, Google et al who pay close to zero UK tax on tens of billions of (very high margin) sales.
Is that though for that large of a population? I guess I'm just skeptical of the sampling in that small of a population to establish a pretty sweeping conclusion.

It's not like everything outside of Madison/Milwaukee is deep red. The only deep red counties in Wisconsin are extremely sparse. Kenosha County, for example, is mostly rural but was split almost exactly down the middle on Clinton/Trump (fewer than 300 votes between the two), and that was a rather extraordinary swing to the right for that county

Parent's observation that the WOW counties determine the statewide offices and electoral college vote allocation is absolutely accurate.

Certainly the programming of the lights is public information. If it's not, a stop watch could document the setting. From there, I would imagine there are published best practices. That is, if the speed limit is X, the duration of the amber light has a very defined duration.

Yes I know - I grew up in Suffolk County. The people continue voting for politicians that allow these initiatives to occur. It's a feel good solution because at least some people believe the traffic light cameras solve the problem of car accidents at red lights. If they were educated everybody would know about the study that said that auto incidents increase and take it into account at the polls. But unfortunately they do not educate themselves on these issues and vote accordingly to fire the people responsible, instead they almost always just vote party-line no matter who is on the ballot and what they stand for.
Actually you are the one that started your argument by making assumptions.
this point was made in, of all places, an episode of Parks & Recreation in 2012 where the moderator at a political debate has to read out a typo-filled question posed to the candidates, and remarks mockingly "and this question is from Twitter, which is something we are apparently doing now".
