Starsky engineer here. We spent a few days getting all of our emergency procedures in place and testing all fail-safe aspects of our system on the road in preparation of the run. We've done unmanned runs before (also in Florida), but at much lower speed and with a vastly less sophisticated emergency system.

This normalization of deviance can burn you for playing along.

In a previous job at an F100 company we routinely used contractors for a lot of day to day work. Every other week we had to sign a statement certifying the number of hours worked. This was fine for the first couple of years when we only had about a dozen contractors split across two managers.

As our organization grew, so did the number of contractors, mostly under a third manager at a different site. Due to peculiarities about how this large, blue logoed F100 company dealt with purchasing and contractors, I and a peer still had to sign the certifications instead of the third manager. We both protested (verbally, which was a mistake in hindsight) but were told "just go ahead it's how we do things."

Funny thing. That third manager, working out of our sight with their army of contractors at another site? Yeah. They were colluding with the contracting agency to overbill the company.

My peer left for unrelated reasons. The colluding manager left for another company as the scheme was coming to light. I spent a week being grilled by the company's purchasing team and eventually company lawyers about my "participation" in the scheme. Because, of course, I had signed all of these timesheets certifying that the hours worked were true.

In the end as far as I can tell the only penalty was for the contracting agency to be barred from working with the company again (they closed, formed a new LLC, and started right up again within a year). I got dinged professionally as the only manager left holding the bag so to speak.

So, if you find yourself in that sort of situation where you're being pressured to accommodate the process because that's how we've always done it, get it in writing absolving you of any responsibility for signing off.
Yes, you can even eat them raw when they are new.

That's probably a good thing.

If you find out that your records were released three times in the past year and when you ask to whom they were released to, it's better to have a piece of paper with a signature on it than for them to say "it must have been you, because we don't have any paperwork".
>What else could it possibly be determined by?

Appearance and cultural characteristics (e.g. language, community, location). The connection to genetics is very loose. In the USA for example, someone who's considered "black" might have just as much "white" ancestry as "black" ancestry.

Your signature on the contract will say otherwise. If you say you didn’t have time to read it, the judge is going to ask why you signed it.

Taken another way, this can’t work because otherwise everyone would just sign every contract without reading it and then get out of it later by saying they didn’t read it. Right?

Maybe we could fault the investors if they were clamoring for safe reliable income from well proven legacy business models and grumbling when the company invested more in R&D, but that's stretching things a fair bit.

Mostly the story seems to be "giant multinational company is slow to react to disruptive technologies", which is a story you will hear every year for all time. It is inevitable. No company wants to fund the R&D projects that will kill a cash cow. This is why disruptive tech almost always comes from small startups or scrappy underdogs.
However, those welfare systems then force other people to subsidize someone else working on something that, by definition, doesn’t contribute economic value that exceeds the cost of producing it. It’s an inefficient allocation of resources. Meaning money going to support someone building a “thing” nobody values instead of going to support a thing people do value. And by “value,” I mean willingness to pay for it. Free money in the form of welfare so someone could work on a hobby that may have no value is paid for by people who are creating value.

Should I get free healthcare and free food and free rent if I have a passion for making a widget that nobody is willing to pay for? Should I be able to spend my days walking in the woods while a barber spends his days cutting hair for money — money that is taxed to pay for someone to spend their day walking in the woods?

To be clear, welfare is valuable as a safety net, but it shouldn’t be a safety harness. If you are disabled or lost your job, definitely welfare is important. But welfare to support some guy writing a new JavaScript library nobody is willing to pay for? That’s ridiculous. Society needs people to build roads, cook food, and cut hair. If society rewarded people for sitting around doing nothing, then who would do those jobs? If people weren’t doing those jobs, who would pay the taxes for all the people that would decide to simply walk in the woods all day?

We would all like the freedom to pursue “this sort of thing,” however, what happens when everyone pursues “this sort of thing?” Who is going to pay for it? The guy hauling freight isn’t going to take too kindly to be paying for people to do nothing.

People should be able to do whatever they want, but it crosses the line of reason when other people are literally forced to pay for it.

Of course this will be an unpopular opinion here because there is an entitlement mentality that would suggest that someone’s latest JavaScript library should be tax subsidized. However, try making that case to a freight hauler who pays the taxes. Make that case to the restaurant owner that she should pay higher taxes so someone else can sit at home writing browser plugins or painting cute rocks with animal faces that nobody wants to buy.
Cellphone holsters: why dads love them, and why they could come back
Last week I attended a talk by one of the nuxt.js core devs, Sébastien Chopin. Nuxt, in case you haven't heard of it, is a framework built on Vue.js, with almost 100k weekly downloads on npm and 20k+ stars on Github. He said they have multiple sources of income, but donations and sponsors is just enough to cover hosting and offices. The team seem to get by on chômage (France's unemployment program, which is relatively generous... for a limited amount of time) and on some consulting work.

Maybe that's normal, but I hope that we can find more sustainable ways to develop great projects like this.

I would highly recommend following @0xDUDE on twitter, he always posts surveillance leaks in China.

Well, in the real world you can only boil water so the highest temperature of (uncontained) water at nominal pressures is ~100C no matter how long you wait or how much heat you apply. Even in an espresso maker the max pressure sets the max temp. So it might be that the maximum temperature is the right answer (not infinity) for a good cup.
They may not think you’re an idiot, but your signature on a contract is prima facie evidence that you assented to it.
Often you cannot give the proper context of why an action is prefered until you debate/speak of the principles. For example, we both may want healthcare, but there isn't an easy 'action' to arrive at without discussing the 'truth' of if people have the right to their health or if the framing of the decision should be a market economic one. So I think you need both: both abstract arguments (without navel-gazing) and also a focus on the here-and-now immediacy of need fulfillment.

>I would be interested in seeing an open source license that made the software free to use for anyone who contributed at least one fix or one feature to the code each year, but cost $10,000/year to license to use if you chose not to contribute any fixes or features. //

Any fix? I mean you can get a fix for something on Fiverr, I expect, but that might make more work for a project than it usefully resolves.

Personally I'm not a programmer, I've sent a couple of pull requests at most, but I do share stuff that I do - like I add places to OSM, upload "art" to OCAL [though it's down at the moment, worryingly], answer question on SE network sites and sometimes on Launchpad, report bugs and test other's bugs. Basically I do my best to be a contributing part of the FLOSS community.

I guess I see programmers create the many FLOSS apps I use as something like being a Scout leader (which is a volunteer position that costs you money), they do it to make a positive and lasting contribution for society with no expectation of financial gain. Though I realise, many do work on FLOSS for wages, just as many people work in outward bounds or as teachers, or what-have-you.
AIUI, legally, a signature isn't itself inherently binding to anything, neither necessary nor sufficient. You don't even need a signature to form a binding contract.

The signature is merely evidence that you were physically present and signed the document, since a signature is generally (if farcically) considered to be something only you can create. The contract that the signature is attached to is another evidentiary question, which is why some multi-page documents ask for a signature or at least initials on every page.

Now, if the signature page you signed says, "I have read to and agree to Document X", that's evidence of... what it says, but there's still the very open question what are the contents of Document X, unless "X" is something like an SHA hash of a document, or a name and date/version of a document maintained by a well-trusted escrow agent.

"Billionaire gives opinion on causes of poverty"

I'm not sure what this person is admitting other than than their own opinion. For example, it is incredibly debatable that raising the minimum wage would improve the livelihood of low income workers, as those workers could end up trading underemployment for unemployment.

This just reads like a progressive opinion piece, which is fine, except it postures itself as the truth revealed. I'd downvote it if I could.
Thank you, this is awesome, very readable.
JSON Query and Transformation Language
I did not get to contribute much to open source. I do think it is a privilege if you are able to make something you want to make and give it away to people who use it a lot. You get to put your name out there etc. And if you can really afford it and that is where your heart is, why not.

Maintaining commercial software is not a choice. It's done out of pure necessity. My company wants to get rid of me for what I think are bad reasons. Meaning I need to pay for a lawyer to fight them. Its just misery for people to treat each other like that. This is common in IT. It does not take much and it really does not make as much as portrayed (globally speaking, as open source is global). I used to like the company but clearly they don't give much of a damn about the law (not US law) or just being good employers. Literally all It managers are like this. All I've met anyways and I've been around. IT is a brutal world. But you will get a new job? Yes I will get a new job. Of course I will. I can't afford not to.

As far as I'm concerned open source maintainers are the lucky ones. They do not need to deal with management.

Ps: not that I begrudge them extra wages. I'm all for it.

That's quite a stretch to blame everything on GE's Power division. I've been following GE for a while and the problems at GE go back many years. At the heart of the problem isn't its Power division (which is bleeding money) but GE's Capital division, which has a lot of liabilities still from the 2008 recession, its opaque finances, and its massive pension liabilities. The Alstrom acquisition (cost GE $10B) and being late to the wind turbine game can't explain $193B loss in market cap. It was basically really badly managed by Immelt for a decade. GE used tens of billions to do stock buybacks rather than pay down its liabilities.

The clean energy transition is just one of many problems for GE and isn't even its most urgent. Companies like GE make bad decisions like that all the time but it takes a series of bad steps and mismanagement to push a conglomerate like GE to the brink.

That said, I still think GE has a lot of very valuable assets that generate a lot of cash flow and things are starting to turn around. The massive amount of cash it got from offloading its biopharma division will give it a bit more runway so it doesn't have to sell its best assets (aviation, healthcare, etc.) to finances its bad debts.

Edit: Full disclosure -- the reason I know about GE's issues is because I've a long position on GE. So please read my comment with the view that I'm biased. Otherwise, I wouldn't be going long on GE.

This is awesome, thanks! My learning style is to read summaries of things and then go deeper where I feel like. I'm not a fan of reading 20 pages of proofs that don't teach me anything new, only to reach half a page that takes me 3 hours to get through. A book which is basically a massive cheat sheet is perfect for reading as if I'm skimming a much larger work.
How did you find out?!
I must admit it's not perfect. What I usually do is add

_ = unusedVar

and then do the debugging stuff. Not sure why, but over time I ran into this procedure far less often but I do very pedantic error checking like

return fmt.Errorf("foo(%v): %v", fn, err)

and putting in checks sometimes that can return custom errors. So in my log I often end up with messages like "bar: baz: foo(/data.txt): open: file not found". Debugging usually means for me replacing

return err

with a more verbose

return fmt.Errorf("...: %v", err)

and adding mentioned checks and/or additional log messages. Either with the log package or logrus. (And possibly adding unit tests/factoring out code into separate functions.) This gives me information content like in a full Java stack trace but in one line.

But YMMV, probably it also depends what kind of software one writes.

I doubt that it said you had to move in, unless it was a condo with bizarrely strict vacancy rules. do you mean that it said you have the right to move in in those time-frames?

The UK cancelled their space programme immediately after achieving orbit. Seems reasonable to have a view on how other nations are approaching it. Particularly when it's a nation we give hundreds of millions in development aid to.

No it's not, you're confusing it with how many bits are used.

Once you are above the Nyquist frequency you can perfectly represent the sample. Any more frequency does absolutely nothing.

But the number of bits of resolution that's what actually determines how perfectly the digital wave form matches the original.

That's all very true - the context in the early 1980s was that the UK government had only changed UK citizenship law to fully exclude the remaining colonies from citizenship in 1981 (which became effective in 1983); Enoch Powell was still an MP (albeit for the UUP not the Conservatives) and Commonwealth/colonial immigration in general was still seen by a large number of people as a problem, often for racist reasons.

But I don't think that's the whole story. Once the UK had conceded that it would hand over Hong Kong, it was determined to use it in a positive way - hoping that China would see the success of Hong Kong and try to emulate it, by liberalising its economy, rather than moving Hong Kong towards the Chinese system. Deng Xiaoping was relatively newly in power and economic liberalisation in China was no longer unthinkable. In the context of the cold war, encouraging this was an important strategic imperative which it's easy to forget now.

There were very real (and arguably very justified) fears that granting UK citizenship automatically would have led to a huge brain drain effect which could have harmed Hong Kong and frustrated this objective.

Of course, by the 1990s the Cold War was over and none of this was relevant any more. The decision to only offer 50,000 people full UK citizenship then was indeed a huge mistake and something we should be ashamed of - unfortunately it didn't get wide publicity in the UK at the time the decision was made and I think people are still very unaware of it.
