There are still plenty of providers who don't use DRM.

You just want the DRM users content but you want it without DRM.

So what really happened is the content producers enticed the users into DRM with their content. It's the other way around, and the consumers voted with their wallet (and clicks)

I just don't understand why publishers don't use technical measures to prevent downloads. Simple system would use recaptcha to prevent bot downloads and it would be hard to work around. Also they could just investigate and ban accounts that Sci-Hub uses to download papers (just ask rare paper via Sci-Hub and check which account just downloaded that paper). Of if they actually are fighting, it would be very interesting to read details.

I think control and making money are not bad reasons to keep something closed source. I would like to see products going open source when the product is discontinued or, something I have been thinking about, when you made enough money for past and future to fullfil goals. For Wolfram that seems a point reached years ago, but then again, Wolfram his goals are not clear for the future, so you don't know when that part is satisfied. So I see his point and think it's valid.

Like others have said here, if I were Wolfram, I would make it free for personal use and then price it depending on the company size and revenue (like some game engines do). I mean 345 euros for Home Edition is really too much imho; I understand the power and reach of the product, but wouldn't it be better to get more people dependent on it so they try to push it at their jobs/companies?

My favourite "conspiracy theory" is that PEDs are rampant in football/soccer. It's not a high profile issue because those in charge of running the sport don't want to look under the carpet for fear of what might be there.

> Soccer is more of an art.

True, skill is paramount versus other more physical sports, but the main purpose of PEDs is to recover from injury not to bulk up or make guys bigger or stronger.

Interestingly, Messi was given HGH before reaching adulthood in order to overcome a growth hormone disorder[1] (completely legal). Without HGH it's unlikely he'd be half the player he is.

Pep Guardiola tested positive for a banned substance during his playing career, although he was later exonerated.

Arsene Wenger has publicly stated in the past that he reckons the sport is full of drug cheats.[2]

Operation Puerto in Spain[3] involved a lot of blood samples, including those from footballers, being destroyed. Around that time, Barcelona and the Spanish national team were absolutely ripping it up.

There was a doctor filmed in the UK[4] who allegedly supplied Arsenal, Chelsea and Leicester City with PEDs. Leicester went from relegation fodder in 2014-2015 (bottom of the league for quite some time), to winning the premier league in 2015-2016 season. They were 5000-1 odds to win the league, played a high intensity counter attacking football, with more or less the same 11 every week.

I wouldn't swear in court that any of the above examples are definitely doping, but it's incredible that none of this is seriously being investigated.

FYI most people don't know what a lac (lakh) or crore is. And if you simply Google "1 crore in USD" it converts 1 crore of your geolocated currency (which won't be Indian Rupees unless you're in India, which you won't be because then why would you be trying to find out what a crore is?).

It helps people understand what you're saying if you use international units like millions (of rupees).
Stripe's "getting started" documentation, as well as this article, show us how easy it is to get started with Stripe - if you ignore the existence of taxation.

The article is completely missing any mention of tax, be it sales tax or VAT. This is my biggest complaint of Stripe.

For a lot of us, we live in countries where we simply _have_ to start collecting and remitting tax from the very first customer.

Although it was immensely efficient, I cannot help but wonder if it was a circular reasoning: they wanted cheap, mass produced tanks, which means you're going to hand in on quality, which means that they break down faster and are less resilient, so your research shows that tanks don't last long, so you spend less on each individual tank, etc. etc.

You've not understood what the word amateur means, at all. It's like suggesting an amateur tennis player doesn't care if he isn't trying to play Wimbledon. Or an amateur runner doesn't care if he isn't top 5% of marathon.

In “optimizing for programming happiness”, there's much more left to be defined than ”happiness”. I think the biggest ambiguity here is ”programming”.

”Programming” can mean a lot of things, and I think Ruby still tailors too much to the ”be able to scrap things together somewhat elegantly” meaning.

But once the project takes off, you want performance and safety. Performance is constantly improved, but it seems safety is completely overlooked. TypeScript & co. proved you can make a type system that doesn't compromise for flexibility, so I think it should be at the core of the Ruby language improvements discussions.
Building Choice Architecture for Investors
A few things that I can think of, off the top of my head (other posters: feel free to correct me if I've made a mistake):

1. Wages are a small portion of the total cost of everything. For example, for a place like Walmart, the bulk of their costs is the products themselves (a lot of which are not even manufactured in the US, and thus not affected by minimum wage changes). The costs of running the stores can't be all that low, either. Increasing wages to $15 wouldn't make a huge difference to prices. They might go up a slight bit, but... it's simply not going to be that much.

2. Only 2.3% of hourly workers are paid the minimum wage. [0] (Although obviously, if increased to $15, then everyone below $15 becomes a "minimum wage" worker, meaning the percentage will be a bit higher) When you talk about increasing the minimum wage, you have to realise you're not actually increasing wages for everyone, only a small portion of people. Increasing them will not increase prices all that much, since it doesn't affect that many people to begin with.

Some prices would go up a bit, yes. But a lot of companies wouldn't be affected in the slightest, and so their prices wouldn't change, meaning the overall effect wouldn't be all that pronounced.

I use emojis in instant messaging with my wife. We use these two emojis sometimes, as a single message to express a state of mind, they have very specific meaning and are not confused.

In addition to regular conversation we have a shared vocabulary of maybe a dozen emojis to express things that can't be put into words easily or is more effective as a single character. Over time we also developed alternate meaning for some of them.

I was an emoji/emoticon skeptic for a long time but I came to realize they can encode a lot of information.

As a Buddhist, quite baffling to read about this "friendly, intelligent, and perfectly reasonable" buddhist family.

In Mahayana Buddhism, which I follow and practice, special stress is given upon practice of compassion which requires seeing all sentient beings as your mother.
So having a view similar to the family you referenced would be considered so un-buddhist.

No, but many hours can. If those aren't, appreciating nature (or gardening or whatever) instead, has political implications...

Ruby already has perl-like magic variables. Too bad $1 $2.. are already used to hold regexp matches if I remember correctly.

wpennington answered the overall question better than I could, but one clarification on this:

> Isn't VC the person with the money, so they are more in control.

Most of the money VCs invest isn't their own. The money is allocated by "limited partners" (entities such as pension funds, endowment funds, sovereign wealth funds, rich individuals/families), and the VC firm uses their expertise and network to invest the money on the LPs' behalf, in exchange for a "management fee" and a cut of the returns.

The VC firm's partners do usually invest some of their own money (to have some "skin in the game"), but it's a token amount compared to the outside money they're investing.

Due to their role as custodians for huge amounts of other people's money (which, particularly in the case of pension funds, ultimately belongs to ordinary people), there are substantial regulatory controls and requirements.

Google? I'm sure there's some way they could, but I don't think it would be easy. A large part of their employees' compensation is stock, which if they can't sell it on the public market is not very useful.
Aren't there two seperate discussions? 1. Paying something for the contribution of others that offer their product for free (OSS) and 2. Paying for and using proprietary software according to the licenses as offered by the licensee. Mathematica falls under 2 and is obviously totally allowed to pursue any pricing scheme they find acceptable. We just happen to think that leads to a lower than optimal rate of acceptance, which is a societal loss but Wolframs good right. Given Wolframs love of I and there being two I's in prIcIng, he must have written about his motivations somewhere.
I absolutely agree, interference with instance variable/method alias '@' looks awkward. For me it seems a little bit against Ruby-way.

Hi everyone. Founder here. I'm flattered that this popped up on HN. I'm a long-time lurker and browse multiple times a day but seldom post.

For some context, you guys are looking at an MVP. It took me a month to build this. The marketing site was done in 2 hours (today, fuelled by coffee). I'm bootstrapping after leaving my corporate job last year.

Not trying to make excuses, but I think a lot of questions can simply be answered with "it's one month of work, by one dude, and it launched today" :)

It's live now. That's the easy part over with - the hard stuff begins now!

Or worse, career politicians and career policy advisors. That is, people totally removed from any implication of their policies for others, and usually far removed (economically, socially, culturally) from the population they decide for.

I think the ancient Athenian democracy had it right: some law-making bodies should be filled by lottery -- akin to juries or the draft.
If correct, that is cheating against law.
Couldn't one detect the frozen ones by simply noticing the loss of noise in the readings? I imagine an AoA sensor functioning normally to have a small amount of variation between readings due to turbulent air etc.

Alternatively, couldn't one correlate the AoA sensor output with the accelerometer output (or some other pitch sensor)? A frozen AoA would have identical readings as the plane changes pitch, a functioning one shouldn't, no?

How do you solve the context problem?

A lot of poorly translated software suffers from translations that obviously lack context. This is especially common with labels for UI elements like buttons and menu items.

A lot of AWS suffers from that -- for example, the AWS Lambda interface is translated so poorly to German in some places that I had to switch to English to understand what the options are supposed to do.

For example, there was a permission setting labelled "öffnen", (which is a verb and means "to open") when the correct translation would have been "öffentlich" (public).

Or in another case, the command "Exit" (as in leave the program) was translated as "Ausfahrt" (as in a highway exit).

Mistakes like that make it cery hard to use localized software. How do you suppose you can fix that?
When you submit the search, there is a message below the Show All button which states that the breach data is provided by Have I Been Pwned. So it shouldn't differ at all really. Hopefully this is just the first steps by Mozilla towards creating this kind of service.
I partially agree with you. When I used to work at one of the big five, PMs for my team would regularly disregard the engineers' output on most matters (apart from occasionally letting us make purely technical decisions). This, of course, ultimately led to almost the entire team leaving, including me, and the rest transferring internally.
It's not all the engineers' fault. One can push back as much as one wants, but it rarely changes anything at all. However the PMs' success is measured based on delivered features and projects. In most big enterprises the engineers are just worker bees, for the queen PM bee and if they don't perform or don't want to do something, they can be somewhat easily replaced with someone who will. And don't forget that a lot of the engineers might be on a working visa, for example. And why would they jeopardize their job and their way of life on moral grounds, instead of keeping their head down and just going through the motions. I'm not saying that I agree with them, but putting all engineers in the same basket seems unfair.
Now that's why realistically it is much rarer for a group of engineers to take a stance than you'd think. This is why cases like the Google engineers who refused to work on military contracts got so much attention. As inspiring and empowering as it might seem, in reality it (almost) never happens.

It's incredibly unlikely, but not entirely unforseeable that enough sensors would fail at the same time for the same reason. All four engines on the 747 BA9 failed at the same time due to volcanic ash [0]. If you just take the median of nine, it's possible that a mere five failed sensors could break MCAS. And then you are back to the issue of handing over to the pilots.

They do this because banks refuse to implement a properly-secured read-only API for granting access to transaction data. (I think maybe Chase now finally has one)

Maybe if the banks realize their customers are handing over their credentials in large numbers, it will light a fire under them to build a real solution.

When the ecosystem is somehow tapping into an ancient stockpile of high energy C compounds to oxidate, sure, it will release more CO2 than it consumes. An example of such an ecosystem would be humans doing agriculture boosted with the Haber-Bosch process, which oxidates fossil fuel to capture plant nutrients from the air (even our crops are not entirely solar powered).

Chemistry is incredibly simple when you are only interested in the general inputs and outputs of a black box system.

His claims is not that Wolfram can't be Open Source (and be what it is).

He gives "12 reasons why [he] think[]s that it would not have been possible to create the Wolfram technology stack using a free and open-source model".

I.e. his concern is not whether a project can be open sourced (and make money, or keep its vision, etc). Sure it can.

His concern is whether something like Wolfram can be built up the "bazaar" way, from a disparate open source community.
