> but the BSD license is more collaborative. I'm paraphrasing here.

It's pretty much impossible to get anything significant in BSDs without a commit bit, Linux is much more open to external contributions. Moreover, any "large" work is mostly discussed privately and only a huge patch (ie. thousands lines long) will be published publicly. Reviewing such patch independantly is pretty much impossible.
The tech industry is just another industry filled with plenty of dishonest, selfish, sociopathic people and organizations that inculcate groupthink, diffuse responsibility, and achieve a collective level of amoral selfishness beyond that of any of the individuals involved in it. This is true, and this is also not news to anyone in the tech industry.

But this is the human condition. Every organization is prone to these kinds of things. And to some extent, every organization has to be self-interested and prone to value their own interests over those of anyone else.

Which isn't a statement of defeatism--it's worthwhile to curb this tendency, and to identify particularly bad instances of it. It's just that the media themselves are also subject to the human condition, and that despite pretending to be disinterested public servants, they have incentives of their own. And those incentives are only stronger and stronger due to the sheer desperation that the news industry finds itself in.

There's an old saying that you should never pick a fight with a man who buys ink by the barrel. The tech industry didn't just pick a fight with one of these men, it threatened the livelihood of all of them at once. So maybe, just maybe, we should price that in a little bit whenever we see yet another hit piece directed at the tech industry.

In summary:

"If “Super Bowl” is used by an individual or business to describe the event and not used for commercial intent, then individuals and businesses can use the term. For example, a grocery store can say “Make sure to stock up on chips for the Super Bowl” but the store cannot say they are the “Official Super Bowl Chip Stop.”"

That said, you can just avoid infringing entirely by calling it The Big Game

Any books I can read on non-toxic living?
These days I feel like they are a lot of toxic substances in our everyday products that should be substituted for cleaner versions but I am not aware of all of them.
Is there a useful book on this subject?

Last year I read about pm2.5 in our air and have gotten some sensors and air purifier to combat this particular problem.
I have, on more than one occasion, said so, and the response was always bafflement or annoyance, and in either case and unwillingness to accept that answer. When I was younger, I would eventually give a guess, along with a "...but that's just a guess". Nowadays, I don't even give that, because the caveats get forgotten/ignored.
Kafka-oriented streaming folks talk about stream-table duality; the idea that one form can be expressed as the other. There is usually a little lip service paid to this idea before some heavy hints that actually, the stream is the true reality are dropped.

My own view is that there are dimensions for any data of interest, expressing some ability to show an evolution of it. Frequently that dimension is time, or can be mapped onto time.

But neither the stream nor the table is the truest representation. The truest representation is whatever representation makes sense for the problem. Sometimes, I want to clone a git repo. Sometimes I want to see a diff. Sometimes I want to query a table. Sometimes I want a change data capture stream. Sometimes I want to upload a file. Sometimes I want a websocket sending clicks. Sometimes you need a freight truck. Sometimes you need a conveyor belt. Sometimes a photo. Sometimes a movie.

Sometimes I talk about space vs time using the equations for acceleration, or for velocity, or for distance. These are all reachable from each other via the "duality" of calculus, but none of them is the One Truest Formula.

And so it is for data. The representation that makes the most sense for that domain under those constraints is the one that is "truest".
Maybe for bogans ranting on talk back radio but its absolutely not a common position for regular people otherwise it would have become the law.
Interesting I typed in Clash of Clans and found all of the Clash of Clans clone games like Clash of Kings, etc. Only the Chinese App store had Chinese letters in their name.
Even that would be hard to use in real life, as an "out of office message" does not mean that their colleagues can't easily reach them.

If you're some outsider you don't know if that person is really unreachable or if their colleagues can easily reach them on Slack/send them a text/whatever if they have some important question.

And if you are internal/close enough to know their time off plans and that they're going backpacking in the Canadian Arctic, you didn't need the message to tell you they're out of office.
Humans are the problem, not some mythical AI powering the bots. It costs a fraction of a cent to get a CAPTCHA solved. The only real counter being used is making it take longer to solve a CAPTCHA - which is exactly what the services like reCAPTCHA do, while minimizing the impact on heuristically 'good' users.

Making CAPTCHA solves take 30 seconds or a minute instead of 5 seconds is the state of the art.

The patents (8,069,839, 9,255,519, 9,810,166, and 10,138,826) are strange. Each describes a system where both gasoline and ethanol are available in separate tanks and the mixing is controlled to minimize knock. That's a dead end as a commercial product. The claims, though, were drafted to cover a system where the fuel enters the cylinder through both a port and direct injection, allowing some tweaking. It's a stretch to claim these patents cover a single-fuel engine.

Ford can probably argue that the claims are not supported by the specification.
Nothing ironic about it. Liquid water is rather easy and efficient to move in pipelines, it just expensive capital costs and the associated politics.

We are arguing different points. I’m saying _if_ an organisation _is_ insecure enough for social engineering to work then a vacation auto-responder is not going to represent any meaningful increase in risk.
And nobody ever leaves the country. Or if they do, they're totally willing to go through the entire giant hassle of switching their account for a few days.
Weirdly, I actually think that's a feature not a bug. It keep ill intentioned idiots from gumming up the works because they are forced to contribute and really don't have the corporate beliefs or culture that would make them productive and not a distraction.

Agreed. It's scientifically proven that sans-serif fonts are easier to read on digital screens because of pixel rendering, brightness and the vertical scrolling surface.

It's the fault of designers who think UX is just pretty UI.
I am arguing that _most_ organizations are insecure enough for social engineering to work, and that autoresponders are yet another vector. Orgs that observe proper operational security are still a minority.
In fact, git stores a full snapshot of your entire repo with every commit. It does not store diffs from the previous commit. When you do "git show <COMMIT_SHA>" it generates a diff from the parent commit on the fly.

There's a huge optimization though: it uses a content-addressed blob store, where everything is referenced by the sha1 of its contents. So if a file's contents is exactly the same between two commits, it ends up using the same blob. They don't have to be sequential commits, or it could even be two different file paths in the same commit. Git doesn't care - it's a "dumb content tracker". If one character of a file is different, git stores a whole separate copy of the file for it. But every once in a while it packs all blobs into a single file, and compresses the whole thing at once, and the compression can take advantage of blobs which are very similar.

I would definitely increase taxes. I'm not small government minded, and I am not anti tax. AFAIK its by far the best way to get public utility functions done. The exceptions are out there: Japan Rail is a good example of an efficient non-public utility running, with no subsidy. So I don't claim its the only model, but its the one I like best. Most of the "but its my money" arguments come from people with disposable income, or who are in denial about how much the depend on centrally managed spend (again, IMNSHO)

In my own economy, attempts to avoid public support for transport have marginalized investment, and meant service is very expensive, and not well suited to local communities. A number of things like Uber have wrecked the taxi industry, and Lime appears to be squeezing a rental-bike model funded out of Bus Shelter advertizing. This doesn't make me happy.
Which Apple Censorship? This shit is going on all the time.
Isn't this just "Apple complies with local laws in China (etc.) requiring them to remove VPN apps and hand over data belonging to political dissidents?"

Greatfire is right: Apple could indeed take a stand for freedom - if the shareholders demanded it and and were willing to shut down Apple's iPhone sales and manufacturing business, which is responsible for the bulk of Apple's income and profits.

Google famously left China, but Google is more of an advertising company than a hardware company.
So why do they ask me to allow them to add themselves to the system?

AI can help you improve your Pitch to Investors
We are doing an AI-solutions for enterprise customers, sometimes in education and employee assessment. One of our customers asked to make a trainer for public speeches. We did it. It’s a web application. You can go to our site and try to tell your speech to a virtual audience, so it’s like a public performance simulation. When you finish, you'll get an analytics report based on your pitch.

In this report you can see:
- how you spoke, loudly or quietly in particular moments
- which emotions you expressed at each stage of the pitch
- whether you looked at the audience, or your eyes were wandering around
- whether you used fillers a lot or not
- whether you made long pauses or not
- how often you used gesticulation, would it be worth using it less or vice versa
- how did you manage to answer the questions (analysis of the meaning of your answers)

Also, our virtual listener can suddenly interrupt you and analyze your reaction to similar situations (emotions, the speed of response, voice timbre).

We are using a lot of machine learning algorithms, NLP, emotional recognition, speech recognition and other.
We have already done this project, but we’re still hesitating if this trainer can be useful for delivering a better pitch. We are considering an idea to create this trainer like a separate product. What do you think about it? Do you train your pitch? How often? Is this product seem useful for you? I'll appreciate any feedback.
This is not entirely accurate. It will also show apps missing in China that the author has decided not to publish in that region.
Perhaps you can try to recruit all the other "founders" who cannot code and who cannot raise money to work for you. The best place to find these potential recruits are at "networking events." However, be prepared for them to to counter-recruit you to work for them for free or below market rates.
Wrong site. When someone ask here if it's better to get cash or equity, the most common answer is cash. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19064983

How much equity? Does it has the standard vesting scheme? What happens in case the employee get fired? Does he/she keep the equity? When there are real investors, will they get liquidation preference? What happened to the previous developer?
Don't bother, the anti-Chinese sentiment on HN is rampant and mods don't care.

…which forms the second factor, the "something you have". (The private key.)

I don't really see how it's very different from an external security token that does basically the same thing. (Though an external security device can make it very difficult for something malicious to get at the private key, which is good.)

So essentially you are asking people to work for free. Why should they spend their time and effort on working on your idea? You got to make people believe that you are going to make it and their investment will not go to waste.

You are not doing yourself a favor by being stingy on the details. You say you are a founder but of what kind of startup? What are you building? Are you making any profit?

Most importantly, do you really need employees right now? They are expensive and make things complicate. Outsource when possible and hire a VA
As zenpsycho said, all you get is eventual consistency across aggregates, if you’re talking about projection aggregates. As you say, for domain aggregates you can wire up transactions by writing your own 2PC on top of Kafka exactly once semantics.

I would recommend only to people who are really committed to the idea or know what they are doing and modeling. It took me a long time because I went from zero knowledge of Java/DDD. First I had to learn Java, then Kafka, then KS, but still I was lost. Learning the most basic DDD was enough for me and did the trick though. Writing a 2PC to coordinate across aggregates wasn’t pleasant but also wasn’t hard with KS. The hard part was learning all the other stuff and the modeling.

I think a well done ES framework based on Kafka streams would maybe be the first ES framework that would have a chance. The primitives in KS seem just right.
When I say minimize rendering, I don't mean skipping frames although it could mean that. During a single frame, 3d engines try to minimize the number of triangles, textures, etc that need to be rendered in that frame. Also some non-realtime 3d applications, like CAD, will skip frames. If React has to do animation, then it can't skip frames either.
Here's the strategy: you can't take a piss without breaking a patent or ten, so don't even bother checking them. Let the lawyers do their best to fend off the scavengers and consider it a cost of doing business.
Yeah... My comment was an oversimplification, but you get the point. :)

With event sourcing there's also the concept of snapshotting, btw.
Since most startups fail, equity in an unknown startup can only be rationally valued at $0. Even if equity in your company has a positive value, it's likely to be diluted if the company raises additional funding rounds. Employees who understand this would be unlikely to exchange a market salary for equity.

It's also a really, really, really hard line to draw. Lots of countries have laws and regulations that may require a company to withdraw apps from an app store. If you had a Wolfenstein game in your app store, you'd have to "censor" it in the German app store. China is especially censorious and authoritarian, but your only options are (a) don't do business at all in an especially censorious and authoritarian country, thereby censoring all of the apps, or (b) censor the apps the government wants you to censor, which is what you already have to do in lots of other countries anyway.
>it doesn’t matter if you take something from someone because you still have to work to do something with the concept or technology.

Thats a rather convenient rationalization for poor behavior.
First, yes emacs has this functionality. But a visual keyboard interface would make it super intuitive and direct.

Second, I disagree with the touch typing argument. Touch typing is a learned skill on an interface like the qwerty or the dvorak button layout, and has its roots in typewriting.

There are innumerable other button layouts you could "touch type" on. On a visual keyboard of course you can still touch type in the classic style in the qwerty layout. But then there are many other possible layouts allowing varying types of control, not just a layout for typing letters and numbers.

Also when you really think about it, it's pretty arbitrary that control commands in pro software and games involve letters and numbers. It's an awkward consequence of the ingrained limited keyboard layout. You should be pressing the "fire!" button not the key for typing the letter "f" (if indeed letter "f" is not occupied by some other command whose name starts with "f").
It's not even just scrolling, a lot of my relatives who are still in the Philippines tend to comment on or interact with just about everything that pops up on their feed.

The hostility is not towards the tradition, it's towards the selected individuals who take it upon themselves to aggressively attack all secular issue, and then shied themselves under the "religious haters" shield when one defends their invaded territory.

Since the article is not helpful on details:

A Delaware docket search indicates the patents in question are US 8,069,839 B2 ;US 9,255,519 B2 ;US 9,810,166 B2 ;US 10,138,826 B2

The 826 issued end of November, 2018. Independent claims 12, 21, and 31 are for dual injection system engines.

Given that Bloomberg indicate only infringement of one patent, I speculate that is the 826 patent issued in late 2018. Now that 826 is issued, they are able to pursue.

826 is a continuation filing in the family that starts with 7,314,033. I haven't looked at the family, nor tried to make any appraisal of merit.
Lots of inventions like this seem obvious in hindsight.
