There's another option, of course: create regulations to limit only the harmful effects of the thing.

It's not like there's some law of economics that says we can't find a way to make loans accessible to people who need money without also enabling predatory lending.
Not suspicious for a mailing list, sure. But definitely suspicious for a security-related email from what is essentially a bank.
Social Programs are abused, but not nearly at the levels that people assume. In 2016, SNAP abuse accounted for just 0.9% of SNAP benefits paid. This also coincided with a drastic reduction in overall utilization from the 4 prior years.

Probably. Either way, I'm happy to see new features coming up on HN.
You know if someone ignored ethical guidelines about organ donations in performing medical research it's equally possible that they fudged the results or cut other corners. They've already decided to value expediency over integrity so why do you assume they're being rigorous in every other respect? The whole peer review enterprise depends on a baseline level of probity, and given the questions raised by the reproducibility crisis we could probably benefit from a more skeptical approach.
This is cool. Animation is pretty smooth. Could certainly make a game out of simulating solar systems, adding mass, and watching the resultant turbulent flow ;)
I guess I don't find referencing research in response to cultural tropes to be "over-the-top skepticism".

Have a good day.

That's my point. It isn't a trademark. They should come up with something new that is. 'OSI Approved' would be fine.
>Btw the children example is bad because there is an entirely separate argument about the child not being old enough to make decisions that completely muddies the point.

It used to be that kids were treated like little adults and were considered fully capable of decision making. Now it seems like a lot of people want adults to be treated like kids and protected (if you can call it that) from opportunities to make bad decisions.
Sure. Tinder and Facebook are tech firms, and so is Bloomberg.

That mattress company you put on the list isn't. Lines in the sand, yadda yadda, slapping a website on a store doesn't make it "tech".
Most companies don't have the infrastructure and staff needed to host an application like this and take care of security, ongoing maintenance, updates etc. Much easier to pay a few bucks per user and trust someone else to handle it.
"Open source" is just English words you can look up in a dictionary; it can mean any number of things.

If we disconnect one end of a field effect transistor, the one opposite to the "drain", we have an "open source".
English is not a prescriptive language: there is no committee with whom you can register a meaning.

But that means that meanings are determined by how people use the term, and the OSI is claiming that what people generally mean by the term is the OSD, and backing up that claim with signatories.

It's of course possible to choose to mean something different by "kilogram." Nobody has trademarked the word. But the word nonetheless has a clear and well-accepted meaning, and someone who uses "kilogram" to mean "the weight of a liter of water from my tap right now" is using a nonstandard and potentially confusing definition. That's the point of their analogy.
When I imagine history books written decades from now and how they will portray our time, I can't imagine any possibility other than them picturing us nearly entirely as cartoonishly and maliciously-stupid idiots for ignoring the problem and voting in people who treat the problem as a joke. Even if things happen to work out by luck, future generations will know we didn't apply ourselves and act on what we knew. I know I'm getting into rudely political territory for HN and polite conversational standards, but we're watching a terrible action in slow motion and we've convinced ourselves that it's rude to interrupt the perpetrators.
Victoria as well!

I agree that the Canadian history post-1945 wasn’t emphasized enough; it should have been the center-focus. I had a good teacher in the eleventh grade that vocationally extended the curriculum to include things like economic and social issues, but they were a rare one. Honestly, if they spent as much time on The Quiet Revolution or Western Alienation as WWI, I think young British Columbians would be much better off.
I can spot a Cadillac or GMC vehicle on the road a mile behind it from the flicker of the taillights. It's terrible.
In the context of limited time and information when making decisions - i.e. real life - removing an option that's (on average) a mistake can make the average chooser better off. That's obvious; it's why we have guardrails on the sides of highways. The question is utilitarian, not absolute. It depends on the specifics of the regulation. Furthermore you don't have to think that the regulators are elite - anyone can make a better decision in the abstract than they can in the heat of the moment.

To play devil's advocate, this is actually standard practice with tipped employees like waiters and waitresses. They are often paid a lower base wage because it is expected they make some of it back on tips. Tips have always been essentially a variable part of the worker's salary controlled by the customer. It's why in America it's considered basically unacceptable to not tip even though it's "optional."

Thank you!

The manager's email just asks me whether I'm still looking for a job and whether I would want to work for them, but without actually attaching an official offer in the email yet.

If I follow what you said, should I also ask for an official offer right now and tell them I will get back to them asap? Something like this: "Yes, I would love to work at XYZ but I'm currently waiting to hear from company JFK and will gladly get back to you as soon as possible, at the meantime, could you please provide an official offer via email?"

What do you think?

Thank you once again.
Yup, definitely a good problem to have.

"All features work without JavaScript" oh hello there, my new friend. :)
I’m not sure what you mean. I recently interviewed with Earnin and SoLo Funds, and they have their own risk and reputation algorithms based on many factors. All loans are no interest - borrowers pay a gratuity of their choosing. They are running at a much lower margin than traditional loans, and especially cash advance/payday loans, from what I understand.

The problem is when the readme file (or other marketing speak) says open source, so people think it's something that gives them the rights that OSI approved licences give, and then the license file says something else. For example, MongoDb's SSPL v1 or licenses with the commons clause.

People are free to use whatever license they want. They should own up to it though instead of trying to paint their license as something else.
This is very exciting. Once it lands, I'll change virtme [0] to use this when available.

They're not trying to enforce it in the sense of sending the police after you for misusing it. They're just trying to establish that it has one well-accepted definition.

> Now, once the "business and purpose" of the company is defined to be profit for the shareholders the company has fiduciary duty to perform in the "best interest" of the company and its shareholders as defined by this mission statement.

Absolutely not. Here are the fiduciary duties of corporate management:

https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/fiduciary-responsibi...

The closest that comes to your assertion is the "Fiduciary Duty of Loyalty" and that states managers must put the best interests of the corporation (note, not just the shareholders) above their own. In general, the management of corporations in the US has significant leeway (from a legal standpoint) in deciding how best to run their corporation. If the board doesn't like the choices upper management is making, their recourse is to fire upper management.

Furthermore, the standard you are asserting is legally ludicrous. Not every shareholder has the same "best interest". There is no litigable standard of "best", thus no way of holding executives legally responsible for actions they didn't take. Additionally, such a standard would open up people to civil consequences merely for being bad at their job.

> "In a famous 1970 article in The New York Times Magazine, Milton Friedman wrote that the “great virtue” of the shareholder wealth maximization norm is that “it forces people to be responsible for their own actions and makes it difficult for them to ‘exploit’ other people for either selfish or unselfish purposes.”" (https://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2015/04/16/what-are-co...)

That was Friedman's opinion. It was never substantiated by any statute or case law.

I agree & speculate that mental wellbeing has everything to do with finances. Including if a person develops a mental illness; of course there will be cases where the person is financially well off. Approximately 75% of suicides occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where rates of poverty are high.

In uncontroversial cases, it is not that people let the OSI be the arbiter, but rather, they have no need to argue with the OSI about the use of the term in those cases because their goals are aligned. The controversial cases make this clear - many people do not see the OSI as the authority on the term, and never have.
Yes you do. I supposed it is possible to be "healthy" on an all meat or all veg diet, but that's not optimal. Especially for veg diet since they need tons of supplements and/or have to track down all kinds of exotic veg, nuts, etc to stay sane and healthy.

It's like walking on all fours. Sure I can get from point A to point B on all fours, but it's not optimal. We were built to walk on our legs. The same goes for food. We were built to be omnivores.

The fact that no human society ( or pre human society ) existed on an all meat or all veg diet should be a dead giveaway.

Frankly, as a one time vegan myself, veganism should be labeled an eating disorder. Human beings should be eating a balanced diet.
Mr. Devault is serious about software craft. He's worth your $10 if you are considering. I am a early adopter of his works.
I don't think you were "age" discriminated here my friend, it's likely you were just skill discriminated -- sometime it happens -- something you think is terribly easy and boring might come out as completely "wow" to some -- some people take it well, some, don't. Don't let that drag you down, remember the other thing I've posted in that thread: THESE people failings are what will keep you employed to fix them in the foreseable future :-)

I'm really sorry about that man... I guess young people tend to feel like they own the world. I'm 27 and I believe I have been raised outside this toxic bubble (I got a lot of shit from my parents, I never thought I was somewhat special just for the sake of it, I only felt special after achieving goals, I always felt necessary to them though, regardless of achievements). I believe younger people are raised like they are too special, the promise of a better world, the ultimate legacy of their parents and that tend to go over their heads, specially after a historical period of unprecedented growth in which my parents and I believe their parents lived (60s through 80s) in which they prospered.

Young people tend therefore to believe they inherited their parents achievement and they can only go forward. I feel lucky I don't share that and I would love to be your coworker and learn from you.
> Signs no longer reflect a profound reality. [...] In Baudrillard’s view, signs no longer have this sacramental power because they have been detached from the Real, due, in no small part, to the dissembling media environment.

Given that we're already talking about cognitive psychology with a religious tinge, the Screwtape Letters (1942) [0] seem entirely relevant here. (Context: A senior devil is advising a junior one on how to corrupt his human)

> Looking at the problem another way, we could just fund education properly and provide a better social safety net.

You missed the point. More funding won't help if you're placed with kids that do not want to learn. A perfectly reasonable solution is exactly like OP said, separate out at sophomore year the people who GAF. Germany does this, it works well, and it doesn't cost a fortune to try to give students a Stanford level education who just want to do nothing.
Seconded that. I switched to Ikea lamps back in the CFL days and today use their LED bulbs and lamps with no problems at all. Of course they're not manufactured by Ikea, but whichever is the maker it seems a very reliable one.
Thanks, for the link to the paper. Even though I knew the basics, this paper is really well written and makes a good job of explaining the details.
Surely VCs would be amenable to reforming their practices and demands upon companies, and be content with less drastic growth targets, to create an environment that is more sustainable and less race to the bottom? No one's calling for them to be abolished, until they've at least tried to fix the conditions they've created.

Unless service is so great that you have to leave a tip. I guess the culture in the US really puts tipping in a different light. When it becomes normal or close to mandatory I would say, to tip, so that workers get close to minimum wage, it really defeats the purpose. I guess I wanna tip when I feel that I'm getting more value than the amount I'm paying for and also when I'm not obliged to do so.

Anyways, aside from this point, whatever these startups are doing, are real shady. Them carefully choosing their words in the binding documents makes it even worse since they know the potential repercussions of these actions.
I agree says one die hard sway user.
I often meet the driver. Some of them are nicer than others.
I never get the argument it’s more expensive to eat fruit and veg, I find it far cheaper.

Sure go to your local supermarket it’s way overpriced and expensive. Go to your local green grocer or market and by seasonal produce, it’s cheap, really cheap. Even the stores like Aldi and Lidl are pretty cheap if you are short on time to go shopping round your local green grocery / market.

Where fruit and vegetables are expensive is time, you have to prepare a meal vs putting a ready meal in the microwave for a few minutes.
I gotta agree. The readme itself describes nothing. The code to me feels useless without documentation on how to use it.

Otherwise, I have to painstakingly go through their source or read 19 pages of small font. I don't want to do that.
It's in the summary too:

>They took account of many potential confounding factors, including age, income, marital status, number of children, employment status, smoking status, exercise levels (measured by days each week on which they walked for at least 10 minutes at a time) and whether they had a longstanding health condition.

>The study has limitations, however. The most important is that this type of observational study can't tell us whether the fruit and veg consumption actually causes improved mental wellbeing.

While the longitudinal design and the adjustment for potential confounding factors helps to make the results more robust, there may be something else unaccounted for at play here. The possibility that people who feel happier are more likely to choose healthier food, for example, cannot be ruled out.

Its a responsible and cautious summary.

Are you suggesting poor people go out and invest in sous vide equipment? That's not to mention the running cost of vacuum sealer bags.

More sensibly, time and money poor people should invest in a slow cooker. You can cook a huge variety of different cheap and easy meals with one. It also allows you to prep in the evening, then put it on to cook in the morning, so you have dinner ready to go the instant you get home.
You pay the tax on your expenses even if you have zero income .

I am not talking about the tax you charge on your product and collect on behalf of the government. I am talking about the tax you pay for stuff you consume as a company.

While you may be able to offset some of the taxes you have paid already against what you collect from the customer like in Value Added Tax, you still pay those taxes on your consumption even if there are no customers.
When ill I couldn't eat anything beside raw food. Anything with just too much sugar (one biscuit was enough) would make me faint.

It's not a "de jure" standard, but it is a "de facto" standard. In every meaningful sense, the OSD is the definition of "Open Source".
>The existing community in which open source is used largely understands "open" to refer to freedom in the broadest means possible.

And yet nobody disputes that copyleft licenses, not just permissive licenses, are open source.
I'd definitely discount applicants on that basis.

is it hard for them to act like they were either ignorant or against the decision?

No, but fooling me if I want to know is a different matter.
From my experience they aren't necessarily always on your side, but for a small enough transaction they may not care. They don't investigate aggressively, rather they put the burden on doordash to prove all these small charges.

That being said, technically it's not allowed as you authorized the charges and maybe didn't get 100% of what you were advertised, but I'm not sure you can get a refund for that.
I'm a bit alarmed. We have fruit, but not veg. Hopefully, vegetables are a good substitute for veg.

Context matters.
Given that poor people are more likely to be obese, I don't think that getting their daily calorie intake is a serious issue.
Can confirm this is a problem in Naval aviation also.
It doesn't really matter if it's peer-reviewed or how many variables they controlled for. It's still an observational study and not a randomized controlled trial.
You would also have to ignore or miss any other signs of very fast rotation, such as noise or air movement or the power switch being on.
Money is still the biggest problem if you are poor. It blocks out all the others. You spend all your time thinking about staying ahead of financial ruin. Calling time and discipline the largest factors, to me, misses the point entirely. You can’t have time if you juggle multiple employers and have kids and are still scraping by. You can’t have “discipline” or willpower or whatever about this stuff if there are 20 more important things you don’t even get done thinking about before you fall asleep from exhaustion at the end of the day. Who’s doing organized meal prep when they have to decide whether to pay the water or the gas bill this month or take out a payday loan or what to do?

Sorry for the rant, if that tone is coming through. But no, the problem is not that poor people aren’t trying hard enough, which is what these kinds of responses seem to boil down too. The problem is people without wealth are exposed to way too much risk and hardship to ever have a chance (or even enough resources and time) to act strategically the way people. Everything is tactical, everything is about just staying upright.
> There are many people that disagree with the OSI about what "open source" means, and that is what it takes for a definition.

> There is a certain irony in the OSI talking about open source like they own it.

They defined it, there are many people that disagree that the Earth is spherical -it's still doesn't make it true.
I wasn't referring to legality, only replying to the idea that "open" and "source" are "just two words". For an example closer to the subject at hand, the Free Software Foundation makes it clear what does and what does not fit the Free Software definition and that does not rely on the force of law.
Then what would you do with all your capital? Sit on it? I highly doubt it. You'd either spend it (which is good) or invest it because 50% of more money is still more money.
