In a libertarian society, a government using tax money to provide services counts as nation state sanctioned violence, but a private company doing the same for profit is called entrepreneurship.

I know it's a sensitive topic, but they are also doing:

vegan > not vegan

In South Africa, I refuse to buy (vegan) margarine. It contains palm oil, whereas our own butter is locally farmed in the Eastern Cape. TLDR: I've been on said dairy farms and it's way better for me to buy that butter than the (vegan) alternatives that contain palm oil.

The second issue I have is that they seem to have a book advertisement section.

Apart from that, there seem to be useful links there.
Murder is by definition unlawful. Homicide is the term that would include euthanasia, abortion, execution.
That is my point, yes. And doing so is essentially impossible. It is popular among property owners, who have a huge interest in defeating any attack on it. (It was also slightly amusing to see a history-free call for more taxation in that particular rag, given tribal affiliations.)

It does drive up housing costs. It also distorts commercial transactions weakens, local control, and generally casts a large shadow over, well, any conversation about taxation and anything taxation touches (like real estate) in California.
I could not think that this would be a bipartisan bill. At least Credit Karma is still around, offering free tax filings (no affiliation, just a super-happy user).

Something that benefits humans is usually not good for the planet or for animals :-) It basically means nothing and everything.
I do not know the right term for this, what if they try to cycle it once more through a legit transaction, like they release an music album on Amazon, and use the proceeds of the crime to buy 1000s of numbers of it, or some variation of such a scheme, then is the gains from the albums sales legit earnings or not?

I've lived in New York City for about 25 years in three different boroughs, and as as a member of the "arty bohemian gentrifier" class I was in transitional low-income areas and things like occasional street crime, gunshots and stuff like that were not unusual.

But only once did I actually see two street people start a knife fight on a subway train and it was during one of my probably less than five short visits to SF. It's equally rare that I'd agree with a National Review writer but SF was really ugly and quite unsafe feeling. Manhattan in the late 80s was probably a little more comparable to that. But I can't imagine why anyone would want to live in SF nowadays, if you're in tech you should aspire to work remotely and live anywhere you want.

The elites of SF and many people on HN are caught in this loop:

1. Companies don't take personal responsibility when they do antisocial things, claiming they can't be blamed, since they are just following incentives in order to compete.

2. Companies follow incentives, and lobby government to incentivize the behaviors that make them the most money (even if those behaviors are antisocial).

3. Government, influenced by the belief that the only way to do things is incentives (since regulation risks losing companies to other jurisdictions) gives companies the incentives they ask for (even when those incentives incentivize antisocial behavior).

4. GOTO 1.

We cannot trust markets to regulate the behaviors of companies. There is little to no benefit to any company, i.e. investing in ending homelessness when they can simply wall off their campus and prevent the homeless from entering. Companies might choose one or two social issues to do good on for marketing purposes, while creating equal or greater harm in other areas. Until SF (and indeed, the rest of the world) becomes more willing to regulate companies, things are only going to continue on their current trajectory.
Here's a quick test for you. Next time you go to SF, count how many dogs you see vs children. Then compare the ratio to NYC. Then tell me again about which city is not 'livable'.

You are comparing a loan to an equity. The ROI on equity usually is higher than on a loan, if all goes well. But the risks are higher.

In this case, if you graduate AND work AND at an average salary AND have no health problem, you payout will be higher than on a loan. But if any of these condition is not met (eg: you have trouble finding a job, your starting salary is lower than expected, ...) then you don’t have to pay as much. It’s more expensive in a best case scenario, but much more comfortable and safer in any other case. The risk is shared between you and the « lender ».

That seems unwarranted... they’re security / os syscall patches, and they don’t blur the lines between the JDK versions.

Even the article seems a little more FUDdy. As much as I dislike / don’t care for oracle, their JDK versioning approach reasonable. Commercial licensing for the special JDK, expensive support for the old versions, and open support for current openJDK version.

I don’t think even Go or Rails support major version minus 1 or 2.

A world built on completely unrestrained speech, surprisingly, is also a world built on fear. Counter-intuitive, but hypothetically: if a workplace has the freedom to openly declare that while they must act to comply with the law, they never voluntarily hire women because they believe women can't do the job as well as men? We have enough research to know the kind of hostile work environment that creates.

Absolutism in either direction is unacceptable; the particulars are debatable.

This is one of the more explicit examples where complexity is stealth-deliberately is promoted.

Tyler Cowen (and in his own way, david graeber) made a point that really stuck with me. Badly paraphrased:

The introduction of PCs & software to the office, has not increased office worker productivity at all. It's very hard to define or measure white collar productivity, but to the extent that it can be measured... it hasn't improved. From another angle, university administrations, tax collectors, accountants, legal departments, international customs agencies, etc. have as many or more people and don't seem to be producing a whole lot more.

To paraphrase Graeber's more beligerent take on it: Getting more efficient at paperwork just produces more & more complicated paperwork.

The streamers seem to be some of the more honest "influencers" acting as entertainers. At least ones I follow (there are many subgroupings within) will disclose if they have any special connections or contractual obligations (can't show this cutscene or boss fight prerelease), sponsorships, or even if they just received a free copy.

I would advise treating unaffiliated middlemen as scammers like those offering jobs for money. (If there is some affiliated group of streamers and they handle communications that is fine.)
If you want cheap marketing releasing some free copies generate no to marginal expenses.

It is respectful to all involved - you are giving away a few potential sales in exchange for a potential larger market, they can give it a fair shake and let people know what they think.

The viral effect can be real but it seems to depend on its own merits even if the "merit" is a gimmick like being hillariously glitchy.
Buying the cheapest part that will last longer than the warranty period is the standard practice at most companies. It's not malicious, it's just what happens when life of a product isn't something that consumers want or are able to judge.
You are. The community asked for those changes, but some don't understand them and are confused because they apply old terms to new concepts.

First, Oracle has completely open sourced the JDK, for the first time ever. Instead of a JDK with a complex license, mixing both free and commercial features and containing field-of-use restrictions, Oracle now provides the JDK under a 100% free and open source license, or under a commercial license for those who wish to purchase a support subscription (and fund the development of OpenJDK).

Second, there are no longer major releases, and the new feature releases are similar to the old six-monthly "limited update". JDK 10, 11 and 12 are roughly the same size as 7u2 and 7u4, which also didn't get free security patches after six months. What's changed is the name given to those releases, and to make the updates cheaper and easier, they have been made more gradual, by allowing spec changes in feature releases. Not only do you get security fixes for free forever, but there are no more major upgrades.

So the main point of confusion is that some confuse the new feature releases with the old major releases, when, in fact, they are much closer to the old "limited update" releases. People see a new version number, see that that number is not freely supported beyond six months and panic, when, in fact, the old releases that were similar to the new feature releases were also not supported beyond six months. They themselves were considered "updates" to some major release, but major releases no longer exist, and the "updates" now get a new version number. See here [1] for a more complete explanation.

In addition, there's another new model, that allows organizations that for some reason need a much less gradual upgrade process than the new one -- and even less gradual than the old one -- and that is something that Oracle charges for. But because the JDK is now completely open source, other OpenJDK members have committed to backporting the fixes to provided a similar step-wise upgrade path for free.

(I work on OpenJDK at Oracle, but speak only for myself)

I'd just like to say, as somebody who used to live in SF, I feel sorry for tourists. What the city is permitting is unthinkable, but up to about a year ago, even saying that it wasn't acceptable was social suicide. Now it's changed a bunch- people are much more clearly stating that allowing people to put up tents and litter the sstreets with poop and needles isn't OK. However, the city really can't do anything about it because it's tolerated this for so long and anything they did would be massively controversial.
