I tend to agree. I've grown tired of the poor-quality, soulless flips that are falling apart and barely cleaned that have completely taken over Airbnb. For business I find myself not wanting to deal with the uncertainty of Airbnb and just get a hotel.
I think they want a permanent and reliable way to minimize illegal immigration. I doubt there's much room for compromise, as there's been nothing proposed which would have the efficacy of a wall without a lot of downsides.
I think one is biased by knowing the answer ahead of time. Pick one of your favorite "home proofs" and we can play around with that one.
The contract that I signed to sell another property specified that the full commission was due from the seller regardless of buyer representation, but that any registered real estate agent working on behalf of the buyer would share equally in the commission, paid by the listing agency.

IOW, I don't think it would have been possible, as it wouldn't have been possible in my listing contract. If I thought it was possible, I'd definitely have gone that route (since 300 >> 75).

TBH, "my" agent added extremely little (it was her first closing) and may not have even been a net positive towards getting the deal to happen.

Edit: This was an existing house, not new construction.

>Damage that will take years to recover from if they ever do.

Can you please elaborate? From my limited knowledge, furloughed workers haven't got a paycheck (yet) for a one month. Is this kind of damage they will be recovering from for years?
If we're so good at dealing with things -- which I think it's fairly obvious we aren't -- why don't we just "deal with" carbon emissions and our effects on the environment? Why opt for the more difficult to deal with scenario?
Does DigitalOcean count though? I thought the SSPL was in regards to offering a database as a service vs offering an OS that you can host the database for yourself in like DigitalOcean does.
Eh. Most government positions are really "big talent" kind of ordeal. Most are a stable way to make decent money with great benefits and retirement. The ones that are valuable will still get their talent I'm sure.

It's a shame, too, because the technical reasons they described were all completely sound — but are no reason for them to have thrown the baby out with the bathwater.
There are many many markets. Totally agree there.

I appreciate your point. But by the same token, you are extending a reality that might be in Vancouver to all of real estate markets.

This is one of the issue that I think makes Real Estate so complexed is that it's super easy to group it together as if 200 cities are one market.

I wouldn't even know if you could group large areas together (like all agents in.... 'The South" "The west coast" "The East Coast"...do it this way.)

> She says she wants me to be happy, that I'm a great husband and if this is what I need to do she understands.

If she's really understanding about separation (but presumably also wants to be with you), she will also be understanding about managing your time spent on work or with her.

Figure out how to manage this and still be a good husband.

> Married for over 10 years. ... we do care full-time for 2 kids. My wife and I get along great. I love her. We have fun together.

Don't leave the most important person in your life just because you want to lock yourself away for days and work.

>Instead replace that thought with the idea that a nontrivial number of software engineers - likely the supermajority - will be materially impacted by significantly changing the amount of tracking enabled by advertising.

The argument that you can't fight evil industries, because there are people who depend on them, will never be a convincing one.

And yes, if you think spying on everyone on the internet on a massive scale is fine, I do not consider you reasonable.
There is an even bigger chance of you dying when driving in a car. Does that mean you don't drive the car?

This kind of argumentation is so lazy and misguided.
I think you came really close to the salient point, but then missed it: Targeted advertising is, as you said, really not that much more effective as context-based advertising, unless you're an ad-tracking behemoth trying to convince companies they need your product.

The whole surveillance capitalism nonsense we live under is a way for ad networks to justify their existence. If you're a company that has data on everyone, you need to convince people they need that data to accurately sell ads, and targeted advertising exists solely for that purpose. The amount of cross-site tracking that these companies are able to do outscales what any company could manage to accomplish themselves, or even for a smaller competitor to step in, so as long as targeting users across the entire Internet is believed to be a must-have, these ad behemoths stay on top.

And given that Mitch McConnell only has that ability by consent of the Senate. They could elect someone else in his place if they wanted to (Democrats might very well vote for a different Republican in such a case instead of voting party lines. it would only take a few Republicans siding with Democrats to replace Mitch).
In Chinese culture, rocking the boat is generally heavily discouraged and decisions by family heads and/or leaders are not to be questioned or second-guessed. It's again another hint there may be some cultural differences that readers in the USA and other democracies find odd.

Nice, I found this explanation a bit more in depth and super helpful as well

> No, OSM simply has bad UX.

It's not very convincing if I just argued the opposite and you don't bother giving a single counter argument. What's more is that it makes me feel there is no point talking about it if logical arguments don't convince you for no apparent reason.

> Your anecdote is completely irrelevant, I'm not sure why you bothered to bring it up, since you're talking about data, while I'm talking about design.

I am talking about design. If you zoom in on Google maps, the data is mostly there (osm also has more data, sure, but that's not universally true on the planet (though on average, per square kilometer, osm easily beats Google, but that's a blog post I'm saving for another day)). Google just hides all the data except a few random roads and random shops or something. You literally have to zoom in until your screen covers the area of two buildings before it shows you what's in the building. Somehow I'm supposed to have an overview of a city from the sparsely populated view. OSM (though you can have any style you like, I'm going for what I see most frequently) just dumps all the data it had on your screen at almost any zoom level (below province sized zoom) and you can see details like building outlines and shop icons from quite far up.

> If it was just me being too used to Google Maps, why don't I feel the same way about Apple Maps?

Maybe Apple maps is very similar to Google maps? If that holds, I should not be able to use apple maps (just like I can't use Google maps very well), but last time I tried to open it in a browser it told me to buy an apple device first so I can't compare. I don't know the answer to your question.
I keep seeing the same ad over and over again even though I'm clearly not interested. The variety that I see is really narrow. Wouldn't it be better to give people a much higher variety of ads rather than bombarding them with the same ones over and over?
Qt with or without QML should definitely be considered. Granted, I can't say I've ever made more than a toy application in Qt (via Python and PySide).

A third option if you're too afraid of C++ or one of the Qt bindings, and you really need something web-like, is JavaFX.
I've sometimes wondered how the "trem bar" acquired that incorrect name [1], since it's really vibrato [2]. Reading this piece makes makes me wonder if it's intentional on Fender's part, an attempt to obscure that the idea is lifted from Bigsby.

The moral constraints on a human person are not the same as those on a human society. To say corruption is a property of human nature is to suggest that everyone is willing to be a source of corruption, rather than to suggest that everyone can be made to support the corruption of others under certain conditions.
Some of this shows it's hurting smaller adtech companies (read: advertisers who aren't google, facebook, amazon) but nothing here really shows it's hurting smaller site's revenue in general. There's some speculative stuff like how investors are reacting.
I don't think UBI is a good approach to this particular case.

The F/OSS developer support case seems like a perfect candidate for a microtransaction-funded model. The kind of thing cryptocurrency enables, where one can passively receive as little as fractions of cents from a pool of millions of people without any transaction costs.

We just need to integrate the solutions better.

F/OSS developers work hard and provide value to many people. If there were a way for me to automate a tiny monthly donation to the projects I most use in Debian, without involving credit cards or routing numbers or other personally identifying information, where 100% of the contribution reached the intended people, I'd already be doing it. The kernel, Xorg, vim, firefox, screen/tmux, systemd, all these things would be on my list, and I doubt I'm alone here.

The distributions should be working on this problem. Forget 'popcon', give me an integrated solution to distribute cryptocurrency from a wallet I occasionally top up somehow to the developers and package maintainers I implicitly love.
In the 2013 Shutdown, a number of government experiments (ie: Flu Experiments) were destroyed due to neglect from the shutdown. Which ended up having the worst Flu Vaccination success rate in the last 10 years or something (like a stupid low 30%).

Etc. etc. Government projects are stopped during shutdowns. It literally takes years to recover from a shutdown (another year or two before Flu Vaccination experiments were back up and running at full potential)
How is that "better" than the previous one? Can anyone with some expertise explains? As a programmer I couldn't care less
I also work for MongoDB.

I respect your opinion about whether the SSPL is free or open, but it is not one that is uniformly shared by the OSI, as evidenced by the discussion currently underway in the license-approval mailing list. Many have argued in its favor. On that basis, some of your assertions in paragraph one are subjective.

Not that there’s anything wrong with subjectivity! I think it is valid to ask the question of whether the move was motivated by greed... it’s even understandable why people would default to that conclusion. (I wish that weren’t the case, but I’m not naive.)

Since you’re asking, I will give you my answer: the SSPL was created to make it viable for open source projects that are largely or completely funded by a single entity to remain funded in an era of large cloud vendors. While it is about revenue, it is not about greed.

The proof of the pudding is in the tasting, and I won’t ask you to just buy my claim. Just keep your eyes open for a conspicuous absence of MongoDB strong-arming community MongoDB users into buying commercial licenses.

As far as including MongoDB in Debian et al, goes, we absolutely respect process and principles. We’re waiting to see what the feedback from the OSI is.

A giant database of fingerprints is more likely to "solve" crimes than solve them. This statistical mistake even has a name: "the prosecutor's fallacy". (It could be that police detectives deserve to name this trope more than prosecutors do, but it's probably too late now.)
Well, it also is very likely to go at a speed that makes it easy to spot (easy for its class), because otherwise we would have seen the easier ones first (except if this one is a super fluke and we’ll never see its like again)

In my opinion, the most annoying thing about AWS networking - and some other services - is that they often use IDs and do not show labels which forces me to remember them partly, go back and forth or have multiple windows open. The AWS console is not the best UX piece on the web, but this part is especially error prone.
That's not a clean CR and you know it wasn't. IE: The House capitulated to Trump's demands for a wall. $5 Billion on the wall, which is why it passed the House.

The Senate bill I talked about before (with 71-votes for aye) was CLEAN, it was apolitical. It was simply keeping funding at the same levels as last year while the debate continued.
So if you look at the list of consequences on a page like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change#Human_health_ou..., you don't see any concerns?

I wandered into 16:8 as part of general cargo ship steering towards better health/fitness.

Used as just one aspect, along with: going cold turkey on snacking at work, switching to black coffee, and doing some daily simple fitness basics (pushups and the like), and ongoing bike commuting [prior to calorie consumption] the consequences over the last 18 months have been dramatic.

The main reason 16:8 IM helped with significant weight loss for me is certainly the "side effect" of significantly reduced caloric intake (thank you CICO). Normalizing to two meals and much reduced snacking has made a ton of difference.

So much so that when I hit my semi-formal "target" (midpoint of the "normal" BMI weight range for my height) I think I am going to have to get conscious about getting enough healthy calories to maintain muscle etc.

I try to make slightly more sensible choices, and exercise some mediocre "portion" control... but haven't switched diet to speak of.

I am a convert. I can see that it's not magic, but, for me at least IM as part of a broader modest trajectory change is turning out to be honestly life-changing.

Network ACLS are quite tricky to debug. For one of my connections, network calls were failing because esp was blocked at acl layer, ACL blocks all non tcp traffic by default. Funnily, network calls with same data-center was working but was failing when calling to another data-center. I had to look at VPC flow logs to figure that non tcp protocals were being blocked.
I'd say its unexpected change in velocity is the most interesting part about it.

The board's letter is linked in the article.

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5683932-Resignation-...

There appear to have been multiple complaints:

1. Ownership of the journal is non-negotiable.

2. Article Publishing Charges (APC) are non-negotiable. APC is the charge paid by an author to get an article published under the journal's current Open Access policy.

3. Unwillingness to participate in an initiative to freely publish article citation data (I4OC): https://i4oc.org

Many journals have instituted author-pays Open Access policies. In my view, this model is just as unsustainable as reader-pays (or more accurately, library-pays).

The crux of this entire problem is that nobody knows how much it really costs to run a journal in the digital age. Or at least they're not telling. I'm not talking about costs excluding unpaid volunteers. I mean the full cost.

I suspect the board of JOI will find out for sure. It will be interesting to see: (a) whether it charges APCs; and (b) if it does, how they compare to those Elsevier charges.
No expert here, but the AGPLv3 and SSPLv1 are completely different. The only significant conditions AGPLv3 imposes beyond GPLv3 is that usage requires distribution of source. This doesn't mean you cannot use it commercially.

For some reason, many people think software freedom and commercial use are somehow exclusive, but this is only ever the case if your business model relies on the artificial scarcity of digital goods such as your source code.

One could argue that anonymous complaining and accusations contributed to Trumps election.

How many of those 'anonymous americans' (who were concered about the emails, or spouting off about clinton having parkinsons, or bernie or busters, etc etc) were not americans, but non-americans or bots/sockpuppets created to amplify the signal of a vocal minority of americans or non-americans.

Because of platforms that are largely anonymous you can never know if an anonymous user is your next door neighbor or a bot tied to the marketing arm of some product you might be interested in or the agent of a foreign government.

An interesting concept might be a social network where all users are verified and their profile contains only general information about them, letting you know if their opinion matters or is misleading.
It is not generally considered Open Source.

The new license was rejected by the OSI, which is generally regarded as the defacto arbitrator of if something is OSS or not. It was also rejected by Red Hat and Debian as being not open source.

There are various issues with the license, including the scope of what they considered tainted. You could read the mailing list archives on the subject, or there appears to be a summary at https://opensource.stackexchange.com/a/7523

The newly submitted v2 of the license hasn't resolved (m)any of the problems that the OSI has raised, and isn't expected to be approved either.

Also, prosecutors tend not to take on cases they aren't pretty sure about.

The standard in a criminal trial is much higher ("beyond a reasonable doubt") than in a civil trial ("preponderance of the evidence").

Basically, in a civil lawsuit, if it goes to the jury they only need to be 50.0000000001% convinced. In a criminal trial it's more like 95%.
