I have contributed a long time ago, before Github and recently. My point is that the incentive structure doesn’t align with the amount of effort that’s required.

You’re better off building something somebody needs and selling it. No reason to open source it, because the incentives are actually disincentives.
There are plenty of ISPs in the United States. I get 500 Mbps internet from a provider not on this list, despite being the sixth largest provider in the country and operating in ten different states.

You may not realize how many there are total because most of them are regional. Things like Spectrum or Charter or Verizon or Cox or CenturyLink are all broadband carriers that were never available where I am, so I only heard about them through others online. Meanwhile, neither you nor this announcement mentioned my ISP.

As many of those are not part of this inquiry, presumably the FTC is not worried about the privacy practices of those ISPs at this time, and just targeting ones it has specific concerns about.
Similar to Chris Alcock's The Morning Brew, which has been around since 2007. http://blog.cwa.me.uk/
> “equity is about alignment, not risk compensation”

This seems like moving the goalposts to me, I have always heard the opposite: that the tradeoff of working at a startup for a reduced salary is supposed to be that you get equity to compensate. If the equity share is tiny by the time you get to engineer #10, fine, but engineer #10 should get near-market salary to compensate. Otherwise there’s no reason not to go work for BigCorp if you don’t buy the starry-eyed promises about innovation and unique experience.

Not often enough. These days, people who are rude enough to send HTML emails are also rude enough not to include a plain-text version of the email.

2. If you'd like to use this software for commercial use, you must either actively contribute to this project, or provide a donation to the project maintainers at Patreon / Paypal / Liberapay, etc.

The worst part is that Firefox tried to change the error message it throws to include the "bar" piece of information, and that had to be reverted because it broke sites that were parsing the exception message with regexps. :( See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1498257 for the gory details, though it was not the only site affected: see also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1490772 (fixed by site author) and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1512401 (fixed by the backout).
Parking startup – never pay for parking again
leeslaminen says:

"Because we were unavailable, my younger brother-in-law was given Power of Attorney."

If what you say is true, then get a lawyer and request that the court transfer POA to you or your wife, whomever was specified in his papers or in the law by default. Now that you _are_ available, the court may transfer POA to you.

Let this be a reminder to those reading that, when you assign POA you might also wish to designate whom you DO NOT wish to be assigned POA, in case the first-listed assignees are not available, resign, or later removed somehow.

Too bad you didn't let him assault you: that would have made it much easier. You could have charged him with assault and used it as evidence in the POA hearing or simply as leverage to force him to yield.

Alternatively, if you can find grounds, you can question the original POA document and have it nullified.

All in all it sounds as if, in addition to having irritable in-laws (who doesn't?), you simply didn't get your way and are angry about it. So either lawyer up or learn how to deal with "No.".
Thanks! I'm thinking through partnerships. Whether that's real estate agents, visitors bureaus, corporations, or local businesses, I'm not certain yet.
Makes sense, thanks for the explanation.

A lack of language/cultural barriers would work well for those who go to mainland China. 5-10% of Taiwanese currently reside on the mainland, due largely to China granting long term resident status (with full rights to work and public services) to virtually everyone. It's a masterstroke in increasing ties and knowledge transfer while undermining the island's economy through brain drain.

I think you were in an impossible situation so there is no need to beat yourself up. Keeping observe and another opportunity for an intervention or steering things may come up later.
There are not plenty of ISPs for 99% of people in the US. You have one provider, maybe 2 if you’re lucky, and if you’re really lucky one will offer an uncapped symmetrical fiber connection. But that’s not the case for 99% of people.
One thing I hate a lot about Google - and I am not sure why they do it - I can't even sum it up in a word or sentence. Basically you search for something, and it returns (supposedly) 10,000 matches, and 100 pages to go thru (or whatnot). You look at the first page, check a few, then move to the second page. Suddenly, the number of pages drops in half or more. Within a few more pages, things narrow down to 5 pages or less, with the last page having only 2-3 links.

I don't understand this "narrowing". I want to see every single damn result, I want to go to the "last page" and see those weird and obscure results. But nope, not any more.

They do a similar thing with image search; you search for something that you know has tens of thousands of images (ie - cats), but you are limited to maybe a total of 1000 or fewer images (show more results...show more results...END).

One last thing that occurs - and I am not sure how this is done; I don't think it is google - but how is it that I can do a lookup for something, and then in google's search results there will be exact matches for that something being searched for, but if you go to those links, invariably they forward you to some kind of spammy or worse "content" (usually doing nothing for me, because they assume everyone is using Windows - so they drop a link for a file that's an executable .EXE - yeah, sure).

It is almost like sites are (somehow) generating search results on the fly for google based on your keywords, but that can't be possible (?) because that isn't how google does indexing (that wouldn't even work or be efficient). So I don't know how it is that sites have my exact keyword matches (unless due to sheer numbers, my searches aren't that unique - but I do often search for very obscure stuff, and even those things pop up).

Meh...
I think the idea of "getting rich" is your first mistake. That seems like a terrible reason to do anything.

When I left Citi, I went to a startup so I could work at a small company and get away from politics. Ya the paycheck was ok, and stock was fine, but that company went under and I moved onto the next. The idea of "getting rich" was never in my head.

Also, when you start a company, if your goal is to "get rich" than you have already once again failed. You should have a completely separate sub set of goals that are pushing you forward. I.e. lifestyle, financial independence, changing an industry, doing what you love, etc.

Then they learn how the robots work? Because their brains work and because they have the underlying plasticity of skillset to pick it up?

I'm a software developer first and foremost. When I've needed to deal with hardware, I learned it. And it was easier because the first question was always "OK, now how do we make this something a human doesn't do?". It's a band-pass filter for what actually matters to continued operations.

To me, it feels as if “just following orders” is a different order of magnitude than disregarding a country’s rules and laws.

They might be the same broad concept, but I think it’s a much larger conversation than just following orders.

I don’t agree with the decision to censor in China but it feels like an unrealistic comparison to make here.

A lot of people want to treat copyright licenses as code, but law doesn't work like that. The question is what a court/judge would think about the work as a whole and how it functions.

If you gave a non-technical person a copy, would they look at the project as a single work or two work that simply interact with each other. If it is the later and you think that is what most people would interpret it as, then no need to change the license. If not then you should change the license as what you got is a combined work which GPLv3 has specific requirements for.

Finding a viable third way is going to require identifying a set of broadly agreed-on values that differ from those espoused by FSF or OSI. Maybe my thinking is limited by what's already out there, but I have a hard time seeing a third free-as-in- beyond speech (FSF) and beer (OSI). Perhaps thinking in terms of free-as-in- is too constrained and we need to propose an entirely new social contract around participatory software development?
Same. Reminds me of when I was a child playing videogames. I knew that animation was a series of still pictures, so I assumed every possible image the game could show had to be pre-rendered and shown at the right time, which is exactly what's been done here!

> Not really? This isn't a flat 'you need to pay 10k a yr regardless of your size' imposition. Proportionality is important.

The problem is the proportionality requirements are poorly designed. It would be one thing if requirements increased solely with revenue, but increasing with time or user count is purely destructive.

Plenty of small services will hit the time limit before they're big, and then the costs destroy them before they have a chance to be. And the fact that that's likely to happen will keep many people from even trying to begin with.

And user count doesn't mean anything if the profit per user is low. Many side projects have a million users, that doesn't mean it's making any money that could be used to spend on filters -- many of them are lucky to even pay for all of their own hosting costs.

> Do you know why that's an issue? Because sometime soon people are going to start getting bullshit copyright trolling demand letters, and all this furor about how the internet is dead is going to convince them to close up shop or cave instead of saying 'nah, serve me your originating documents, this is a bogus claim'.

That's a different problem. If there were real penalties for making false copyright claims then there wouldn't be so many fraudulent demand letters. I don't think as many people would be objecting to "copyright reform" if it did that.
Interesting. That seems like it'd be horrible for latency but I guess it works well enough that I haven't heard complaints about it.
Yes, they used a test designed to find a difference between two groups, and it failed to report a difference.

Your analysis of that is correct, although the terminology "p-test" to describe "a statistical test designed to find a difference" is not. I don't know the general term for this class of tests.

The definition of p-values is a bit wonky (there's actually a set of null hypotheses rather than a single one, and it involves a supremum over that set), but the line "if we're wrong, then the chance of seeing this data is at most p" is pretty accurate. All kinds of frequentist statistical tests use them, including equivalence tests.
Just because you do not directly elect the commissioners does not mean that they are "unelected".

In equally good faith, I'll observe that our disagreement is because I'm using the word "elected" to mean "has run in some sort of election and won by getting votes". You appear to be using a rather different definition, something like "some N number of appointment steps away from someone who directly ran in an election and won" where N is maybe 2 or 3 depending how you count (local politician -> head of government -> commissioner), except that commissioners are appointed one per country, no? So it's not like all the heads of state get together and run a giant interview process. Rather, the positions are dished out on a national basis. If the UK or Germany happens to field half the most qualified candidates that doesn't matter, Portugal will still get a commissioner.

most people don't even bother with EU politics because they're more concerned with their countries politics

Yes, oddly they care more about the elections where candidates discuss the issues they care about. The top concerns of populations in every country in the EU, according to the EU's own polling, are quite consistent - immigration then terrorism.

https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-eu-eurobarometer/immigrati...

How many MEPs are talking about restricting immigration or controlling terrorism? When was the last time you heard about a tightly fought European election where "tough on immigrants" was a factor?

It never happens because the Parliament is irrelevant; if someone wanted to waste their time getting elected to the EP on such a platform it'd be useless, Juncker has said "borders are the worst invention of politicians" and thus the issue dies there.

The EU is fundamentally uninterested in the top concerns of its citizens and there is no way to change that via voting. That is the ground truth and why the EU is correctly described as undemocratic.

Free Software seems like a model aimed at maximizing the available benefit for all people, while Open Source seems like a model that aims to maximize growth (in both quality and quantity) of that benefit, even if unevenly applied.

To me, this seems very analogous to some economic models I could mention. Communism sure sounds good, but I feel pretty confident in stating that the wild growth Capitalism has encouraged has made even the poor much better off than they would be in a system that was purely communistic for the same time period.

That said, I wouldn't call our current system purely capitalistic, which I think goes a long way towards explaining why the poor have an increased standard of living, and points towards the truth of what you're seeing (and what we've been seeing more recently with "interesting" business models using Open Source). The middle ground is often much more beneficial than the ideological extremes.

To bring this back to Free Software and Open Source, do we think there would be nearly as much high quality free software if Open Source had not introduces the large talent pools and funding of businesses? Would Open Source have had anything to entice those businesses with had not Free Software provided the base upon which to build the current ecosystem? They both provide a large benefit, but for different aspects. I think a mix of them is the most beneficial way forward, whether that's a third way, or a vacillation between these extremes as more licenses are developed and tweaked that change how the market for software of this type responds.
>Map and pattern matching are not silent.

I'm writing a complicated algorithm and am at a point where I know for certain that a given value must be non-nil. Sometimes it can be nil, but at this point it's provably non-nil (E.g. at the end of Dijkstra's algorithm every entry in the distance vector must be non-nil - assuming the graph is connected). The type system can't prove this, but I know that it's non-nil at this point.

So, when I access it, I want the program to fail loud and clear, because it means that I've messed up somewhere. Handling it via map or pattern matching makes no sense here. What would you write in the nil case of the pattern matching anyway? return -1? That's absurd. abort()? That's exactly what get() does.
Because you are not in target audience. Target audience is not top 20% of Gauss distribution or probably not even top 40% of confident people. It is all those people who fear they will be fired but are still needed (you still can have top performers with anxiety). If they hear someone "graduated" it becomes OK in a day or two, but "fired" will trigger them and all anxiety will make them think not about working harder but about what they will do when they are next.

"Your audience can take hearing that you fired someone", that is situation specific, company specific, yes audience specific.

If you think we are all adults and should treat everyone who is over 21 as perfectly reasonable person, you are in world of surprise.
Also, you got paid out $15,000 on a $200mm exit. Sounds like you didnt do a good job negotiating your worth from the start. I would chalk that up to YOUR failure, not the startups failure.

I also went to graduate school in The Netherlands, studying Space Systems Engineering at TU Delft. The article does a good job at describing what the student life is like there and common pitfalls that will set you back. The ideas are good, and work great for the author, but they are better generalized as "fall in love with the process" [0]. He found ways to fall in love with the process of graduate school, primarily by finding a morning routine that he enjoyed. Just buying the things in the referral links is misguided. It is better to find ways that make YOU enjoy your daily routine more while on the path to mastery (in his case a PhD).

I’m the one that “broke” the story the author mentioned as being reported in 2015. At the time, the team at the New York Times reached out to a source at Apple that confirmed that this behavior was intentional: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/12/technology/apple-is-said-...

iOS disables Apple news based on the mobile country code / network code and not on the name in my experience.

If your iOS device doesn’t have cellular capability or if it is in airplane mode, it uses Ip addresses. This means you can enable airplane mode and connect to a vpn over Wi-Fi and circumvent the censorship.

The mechanism that does this appears to be the same mechanism that disables “global” Apple maps and switches to Apple maps provided by Chinese map maker Autonavi.

I wrote this post at the time the explains the censorship behavior which hasn’t changed.
