yes, surely the questioner is trying to balance “doing as much of the work as possible”, and “breaking the problem down into small steps”, versus “give me the answer to my entire problem”

I don't see these as equivalent, at least not based on what I've learned about the cases (feel free to correct). As I understand, Therac-25 was due to software bug and a genuine design process inadequacy that allowed it to cause a problem, that could happen with people acting entirely in good faith, simply because they didn't know better. That's why they created standards to address the design process. With 737MAX... pretty much literally everyone could tell you the decisions were bad, and so many seem to have been made in bad faith, specifically to e.g. avoid recertification and increase revenues in a pretty reckless manner.

I haven't written a traditional book, but I'm currently working on writing Holloway's Guide to Technical Recruiting and Hiring (https://www.holloway.com/g/technical-recruiting-hiring/about). Writing is hard but my experience so far feels a lot more positive than the process described here. I had a ton of editorial support and we were able to get contribution (through interviews, reviews and edits, and even written contributions from a bunch of subject matter experts).

In any case, it's still not an easy feat and I have a ton of respect for anyone who embarks on (let alone finishes) the task of writing a book.

> The short justification given is that even though the GPL doesn't let you do everything, it still doesn't interfere with the 4 essential freedoms that Open Source guarantees. You may or may not agree with that justification.

Wait, what? "Four essential freedoms" are part of FSF philosophy, not Open Source, and GPL is literally the canonical example of a license that guarantees and safeguards them. Many Open Source (not Free Software) licenses do not, in fact, guarantee these freedoms.
The difference is:

I don't like the medium paywall stuff, but I'm finding myself annoyed by Hackernoon's "Medium is bad" positioning.

I posted a few things on Medium, and got contacted by Hackernoon (and some other publications) about putting them on their "publication", which I allowed (and later removed). So presumably this happened a lot and lots of Hackernoon pieces came from Hackernoon contacting people using Medium, and those people putting things into a Medium publication called Hackernoon, via Medium.

So some business model drama happened and now neither party is happy, and Hackernoon is moving away and that seems fine.

I don't think they're wrong to move off Medium, but their positioning - that Medium is a big bad preventing publications and authors from moving - seems like bullshit. There is clearly a muddled symbiotic relationship here, neither is wrong, neither is right.

Tl;dr This is giving me a very poor opinion of Hackernoon.

I wonder if not having any social media presence would be a problem; I think that would be the more insidiuous thing. Social media posts are, effectively, publications; whether they tell you it's policy or not, it's likely that they would (and perhaps should) look.

My main concern is that they would be suspicious of people who don't publish their every thought on the internet.

An interesting anecdote: Even if you are transiting through US you need a transit visa. So we were flying from Australia to Canada with a change of planes in US and we had to get an ESTA visa.

The visa application requires you to enter social media profiles for major platforms including facebook, twitter etc but there is no way for them to verify it's really yours.
We did fill up ours but for my two year old toddler I just marked as no social media profile.

The lack of social media profile on one of the application meant the whole application was flagged delaying our ESTA. I would have assumed that the system would have a check to allow no social media for people younger than 13 (or 16)
True however, even with that people are less represented than corporations.

"Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence. The results provide substantial support for theories of Economic-Elite Domination and for theories of Biased Pluralism, but not for theories of Majoritarian Electoral Democracy or Majoritarian Pluralism."

In the US, 8% is about right for a graduate/professional loan by the federal government[1]. I'm not sure about private/bank loans.

10% interest on a credit card would be pretty low for the US, AFAICT. Most first-time cards come with 23-24% interest, at least when I started searching for one.

It’s less literal than that.

You can think of the whole cosmopolitan urban vs salt-of-the-earth rural aspect of American politics as one example. Or southern identity/culture. “As a veteran who served”/“As a parent”, or the cross-denomination “moral majority”— it’s all based around the idea that your lived experience as something shapes your political perspective and is intrinsically valuable to the political conversation.

And even Occupy: was occupy simply making a statement about economic politics or was it the identity of “the 1%” or “Bankers” vs the rest of Americans? These categories were somewhat arbitrary and basically represented which group you identified with.
Not really a surprise. The point is that it is a completely valid address to use, and in this case it just defines a range. /32 are commonly used in routers (even servers in some cases) and /31 for linknets.

Isn’t anything you do on a company issued machine or network monitored as is? I think the question is not whether or not your activity is monitored but whether or not you work for an employer who cares that you occasionally browse Facebook, in which case the problem is your employer and not the fact that you’re activity is monitored.
>Dumping usually means selling below unit cost, which they're not doing.

only if you fall for their clever structural arrangement, the article addressed this. Regular tech startups lose money because of high fixed costs but recuperate through falling marginal cost once they scale.

Uber has no change in marginal cost because every additional driver costs exactly the same, and in fact they incur inefficiencies because every driver has to look after their own car, so there is no scale.

They absolutely do sell below unit costs, just with one level of indirection between drivers and company because at the end of the day they have to subsidize rides if they want to compete with other business.
“If only we could have drivers work for free and be extremely satisfied...”

I’m wondering if Uber will seek to collaboration with the correctional facilities which can provide staffing for similar scenarios.
> And sure, maybe its as simple as "are you profiting from it" -- but then we get into weird edge cases of me using your software on my router that I use for my real estate business or something.

Just to be clear, if you are referring to Commons Clause, you can freely use the software for real estate or whatever, you just can't sell the router itself, software itself, or offer paid consulting / support / hosting for the software (well you can, but you need to obtain a commercial license - which is fair enough, since you are making money off the software, not off you real estate business).

This is a common misconception about Commons Clause. You can use it for commercial purposes. Exception is when you are selling the software itself, or the services that base on it.

As for blogging example, the concern is imho not justified. Hybrid licenses need support of community as much as open source ones and such behaviour would be suicide. It would help if the projects were clearly stating the allowed (and disallowed) usages in advance, but it's a bit early... There aren't many projects using Commons Clause yet for example.

But shouldn't most drivers be working for both companies?

This is a dangerous position to take. I have a junior dev on my team frequently asking for help on Z when X is still a problem. If I actually answer his question, what he puts out is a disaster.'

Like he was having trouble with generating prime numbers. I could have answered his question, but why is he generating prime numbers? Long story short, to create an "optimal" number of threads to insert to a database because inserts were slow and he had 100k to do. Dude. Batch insert. Why are we threading, absolutely not, no. Stepping back Z, Y, X, and V and finding a better solution. 1/10th the code, 1/20th the time, better for the DB.

When you have someone on your team doing things like this, absolutely ask about X.

Do you have any numbers to support your statement? I just looked up migration stats from the UN, and found:

1. The vast bulk of migrants do not go to the US

2. International share of migrants has grown much faster than the US share

The US has a large overall number of immigrants as it is a large country, but per capita many countries are taking in more. Canada takes in about 3x per capita for example.

I'm curious how this is supposed to work for Facebook, or an Instagram or Twitter account set to private. What good is a username if no content is publicly available?

Naturally, it would seem to follow then that if all the State Department is asking for is the username, and this isn't just for show, they must have some other method of access, presumably an agreement with social media companies, clearly spelled out somewhere down in section 27b.6 of the TOS.

But then what about WeChat? I somehow doubt Tencent is going to have the same relationship with the US State Dept. that Facebook does.

Yes, your application will be flagged. I just commented above on how my toddler's application was flagged due to lack of social media profiles.

The only saving grace is that they don't/can't verify that you really own the social media profile. You can just put in Mark Zuckerberg's profile and apply
> It worries me that we're developing a culture where I as an individual must adhere to some moral framework when writing code, lest I violate some social open source norms. To me, this is deeply poisonous to the spirit of open source.

Every culture or community has norms, and many of those norms generalize to universal moral principles, like: participate fairly in a community, not exploit it.

"Spirit of Open Source" isn't something defined entirely in the phrase of "open source". It's an idea that gets defeated by actions of some larger players today, hence the outrage (and an opportunity to remind people yet again, that RMS was right about this).

I want you to have the right to be an asshole, but I'd prefer it if you were not an asshole. I don't want to enforce my preferences through contracts, licenses, and law. I might still call you out if you're an asshole.

How hard is it to understand this worldview? A world of freedom, where people do the right thing because it's the right thing to do, and not because they are given no other choice.
People are right to focus on the downsides, but I do want to intrude one consideration: Newsrooms have already been the target of attack. There are people out there with skills and weapons, who view journalists as "the target".

Police are pretty much immune from all consequences. They can barely be fired- even for good cause- and if they are they can be sued to be reinstated. They have nothing to worry about.

I think s/he means Elastic's use of Lucene - https://lucene.apache.org/.
Can you use your API to perform the updates?

Btw balena is a great service, good job!
Elasticsearch uses Lucene for the actual inverted index DB systems. They then built a robust and updateable distributed system on top of it. By updateable, I mean that Lucene indexes are fixed at creation, and Elasticsearch coordinates multiple index versions to expose an updateable index system.
Jobs! They created millions of jobs over the years, that's something entirely missed here.

I assume this comment was not intended to be taken seriously. Most of the population of what are now independent countries of Belarus and Ukraine, but used to be part of USSR, are pretty well aware of where the Polish border was in 1939. If you visit, it becomes apparent that this fact would be impossible to hide, and no serious efforts to hide it have been made in recent years or earlier. Most towns West of Minsk still bear polish-sounding names and are predominantly catholic while those East of Minsk are orthodox with Russian-sounding names. Many people in western parts of Ukraine and Belarus hold the equivalent of polish green cards issued to them as poles, and everyone is pretty well aware of the reasons, and so on. I don’t know what the modern school books say on the subject (it is true that 30 years ago they began the WWII history with the 1941 events) but there is abundance of information on the subject, including Russian resources, and none of it certainly “gets you killed”.

This is not 100% correct. A large part of the format is standardized in ECMA-376 and ISO/IEC 29500, but many details are implementation-dependent. Many of those details are covered under other specifications like [MS-DOCX] that are covered by a covenant not to sue, but other details are not covered and are therefore in murky legal territory.

IMO this is how social media ends itself. As real world consequences become less distant and people have to be more ‘politically correct’ where being ‘politically correct’ is a function of which political party is currently in charge, people will use social media less and less. Social media will just become another outlet for ‘mainstream media’ and sycophants.

It’s been difficult to see anything positive in the social media sphere lately. I closed my Facebook account nearly 5 years ago because it just felt like a toxic influence. My reddit account nearly 6 years ago met the same fate.

These days I can only stand using Discord and WhatsApp for conversations with people I know IRL. I can’t imagine my kids ever being interested in most social media sites as they’ve already skipped most social media services to talk to their friends directly in video games like Minecraft and Roblox and using iMessage in group conversations.
