Ask HN: Royalty based compensation for software engineers?
Relevant article -
https://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1143972#

What are your thoughts on teams getting paid for software per use? Something similar to how artists are paid on spotify (only better).

Recently Tim Cook made some statements about how a college degree is not needed for getting a programming job. While taking such an approach would be convenient for big tech companies (more, cheap, disposable labor), it would be decidedly inconvenient for those who have spent considerable time and effort in getting their education (and building systems for tech companies to profit from).

The value of all that engineering effort is 'locked-in' in an ip owned by the company to make profits in perpetuity (Or as long as the company decides to keep the line of products alive) - while the engineers can with their degrees and knowledge have to make do with salary, bonuses etc.

Stocks is one way of doing it; but there are vesting schedules to deal with and number of stocks awarded do no take other metrics like usage into consideration. Also stock market prices are subject to 'market conditions'.

Do you think engineering teams should demand more share for the use of their software in light of companies wanting more fungible teams/resources?
No, it's just an aspirated dust sensor. No reason you couldn't run it inside. The main reason they suggest outside is so you can contribute to a global air quality database of some kind.
I'm surprised this sort of thing is on HN's front page.

Yes, we are on the tail end of a long expansion cycle, and a recession is inevitable. However, prediction headlines like this have been on the front page of CNBC, MarketWatch, etc every other day for FIVE YEARS now.

On the alternating days, there are headlines about how the expansion has a xx% chance of continuing for another two years.

Financial news is the lowest form of clickbait trash.

Its unlikely that he read any of the comments given the necessarily short time interval between announcement and perpetration.
I'm always glad to see these kinds of RPi competitors, but I've yet to buy one.

Says it runs "Android and Linux etc.OS" but those I've looked into after they've been in the hands of users always seem to have some issues that make me hesitate.

The latest Raspbian OS is really sweet and the list of add-ons and software keeps getting bigger and better too. Everything else in the category is still quite a ways behind them, but I still admire the work being done on them.
Can someone explain if this is a true story or fictional? I’m not quite sure.
> Is there something else I'm missing?

Yes, probably. Why do you need a supply of new front end developers? Is your workplace exceedingly lethal?

Have you considered that paying $2XX/year is a signal? It attracts a certain type of candidate and you can't extrapolate the talent level of the entire market just based on your experience with those that would try to land a $2XX/year job. Where I live, trading firms can pay that much and more, with potential bonuses that would make your eyes pop out of your head. Yet many extremely talented people I know would never submit a resume: "No thanks I like having a life." Many people I know that used to work in that environment think of it as an insurance policy: "at least I know that if I ever need money I can go back."

> We are offering higher than average pay for a job with average requirements

A lot of people will pass you by and assume that something is really wrong at your company to need to offer so much money for an average job.

Yes, it just isn't "secure" as far as the security-for-the-security-gods types are concerned.
I agree thoroughly with this prudent assessment. One thing I'd like to add is that, after far too much of my life spent on 4chan, I believe the line between a total joke and an expression of a sincere sentiment is much blurrier even than it seems. It's much more subtle than a crowd of irreverent kidders dotted with occasional cold blooded misanthropes.
As you speed up, you have to unlearn the wrong motions that do not work at full speed and replace them with different ones.

I don't know about piano, but at least in my experience with electric guitar the key to playing fast was to decouple the "gait" from speed by reducing wrist movements and using the elbow more.

Yield curve inversion != recession, as most people on HN have clarified numerous times. it's not even the top 10 predictors.

US has THE strongest economy in the world right now. You'll see depression in China (already happening), and recession in Japan/EU/Canada/Mexico first. US has the lowest unemployment rate in 30 years, wage growth, 3% gdp growth, and foreign direct investments going through the roof.

Marcuse's aim wasn't merely to redefine, one of the purposes of his book was to find out how these words came to be defined in industrial society as they are, and how these words (words considered also as what they signify) influence our thought. Marcuse would actually agree with your point here - how is it that these word games came to be defining of the concepts which they signify in modern society?

>I have already referred to the self-validating hypothesis as propositional form in the universe of political discourse. Such nouns as "freedom," "equality," "democracy," and "peace" imply, analytically, a specific set of attributes which occur invariably when the noun is spoken or written. In the West, the analytic predication is in such terms as free enterprise, initiative, elections, individual; in the East in terms of workers and peas-ants, building communism or socialism, abolition of hostile classes. On either side, transgression of the discourse beyond the closed analytical structure is incorrect or propaganda, although the means of enforcing the truth and the degree of punishment are very different. In this universe of public discourse, speech moves in synonyms and tautologies; actually, it never moves toward the qualitative difference.
"In contrast with (my) generation, which had spent most of its time online learning to code so that it could add crude butterfly animations to the backgrounds of its weblogs, the generation immediately following had spent most of its time online making incredibly bigoted jokes in order to laugh at the idiots who were stupid enough to think that they meant it. Except that after a while they did mean it, and then somehow at the end of it they were white supremacists. Was this always how it happened?"
Patricia Lockwood, London Review of Books, Feb 2019
Sadly I found the same to be true during my teens and early twenties when it came to relationships talk. A group of guys or gals would sit around bragging about how in control they are in their relationships, what high standards they have, etc. when in reality things were much more even keeled. The problem was that those in the group with little actual relationship experience would believe all this nonsense and try to pattern their relationships off of it. Everyone else knew the talk was all posturing without seeing how it negatively influenced those with little experience into making poor choices.
Microsoft and GitHub Deal: Developer Sentiment Survey (2019)
Apologies for being mistaken about type inference, and thanks for correcting me. Is this a recent addition, or was it present when first released?

My own dataflow language is described here: http://www.fmjlang.co.uk/fmj/tutorials/TOC.html

The pages are incomplete as I've since added new functionality to the language. I'm working alone, and have other commitments, so progress is quite slow. It's a research project, and I'm not planning any release until I'm happy with the language, and enough other people are sufficiently interested.

For iteration and conditional statements, FMJ doesn't require any separate constructs or use syntactic sugar. Iteration is done by feedback, when and unless by conditionally outputting other inputs depending on the value of the first input.

My aim was to build a language capable of running directly on hypothetical dataflow hardware, with the minimum of syntactic sugar, and I've mostly achieved that. I'm now looking at problems for which dataflow machines would be better suited for than conventional hardware, and by implication that dataflow languages are better suited for than conventional languages. I'm also looking for ways of reducing clutter (edges crossing), which is a problem with graphical languages.

Regarding directed graphs as a fundamental data type, I haven't done much in that regard yet, but it's high on my list of priorities.
Knowing about it and having the multiple kinds of know-how and budget to monitor it are two very different things.
> RF is the magic grey beards part, but can be quickly solved with off the shelf parts.

What do you mean by "off the shelf parts"? A competitive phone chipset is going to have integrated RF and digital baseband. Because of size constraints, you can't mix and match ICs and have any hope of fitting into a small form factor.
How do you know? What trains this feedback loop other than your own perception?
There have been just as comprehensive if not even more comprehensive sensor sets available for a really similar price. It's nothing unique.

As building such boards is quite common, I too have assembled many similar boards for my own use, to monitor both indoors and outdoors air quality although I don't have any external stations to compare my values to but they're "calibrated" according to the same baseline across my setup and it allows me to keep an eye on different types of pollution - different gases, particulates, UV, noise and so on. Would be nice if all these platforms could be tied together.
If the Nazis did not want to be bombed, they should not have picked a fight with the 2 superpowers (UK, US) who had heavy bombers when they had none.

I know someone who survived Dresden, and what those people went through was terrible. However, it was an inevitable consequence of stopping an ideological movement that did not value humanity in the least. When you hear people touting their ideology and how they can't respect people's rights because they're trying to achieve a greater good - watch out.
Their lawyers may try, but if their speech is found to have encouraged law-breaking, they can still be convicted and jailed — regardless that they only did it for sport.

> In 1969, the Supreme Court's decision in Brandenburg v. Ohio effectively overturned Schenck and any authority the case still carried. There, the Court held that inflammatory speech--and even speech advocating violence by members of the Ku Klux Klan--is protected under the First Amendment, unless the speech "is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action"
Well, you could start by not installing software that you know exfiltrates these data, like Microsoft Windows, or Adobe Flash...
The programming equivalent of "just playing" is watching conference talks on youtube, or writing code in a language/framework that you're already super comfortable with. These things are good for you, but they won't accelerate you as quickly as learning a new language, working through a challenging book, etc.
This is completely out of my area of expertise. But if that’s the case, why is it so much easier (relatively) for Apple to design processors with better thermals and lower power requirements than anyone in the world, soon will be able to design better GPUs for mobile (not high end GPUs) than any other company in the world, but can’t design cellular chips in house just as “easily”?

I have a project (X.509 certificate lifecycle manager for bootstrapping CAs, issuing certs, like Lemur or Vault PKI backend) I would like to provide this free for any solo system administrators, small companies for internal use, software developers, freelancers, but I don't want to give the possibilities for big companies to repackage and resell it as their own and I also want to force them contributing back.

What license should I choose and why? I thought GPL or AGPL, but I really don't want to scare away individuals and small teams (who this software would help the most).
Let's say I am on a forum talking theoretically about robbing a bank (say I'm a fan of the PayDay series or something). Let's say that someone on that forum ended up robbing a bank, perhaps using information that I provided.

Did I commit a crime? Am I am accomplice?

There's a big difference between planning a real crime and planning a fictitious one, but they can look identical to an outside observer.

As for your quote, I don't think it really applies here. You can say all sorts of trouble things, but I don't think you can accidentally become an accomplice, at the very least need motive.
I agree, it's not that different from scheduling a protest blocking a freeway.

All the idea of countries do is perpetuate inequality and allow for the sovereignty excuse for the abuse of their own people. Sovereignty is a tool of oppression. It codifies in law an Us and Them instead of We. Yay, I won the geographic lottery and was born to a rich country. We better enforce that at an imaginary line on the ground with weapons.

The problem starts when the powerful countries mess up the lives of people outside their borders, all the while complaining that those people shouldn't be allowed to come here.
Are you one of those "GPL is socialism" people? You are misguided. Yes, there are lots of marxists/communists in the open source / free software community and most people in it lean left.

But the GPL itself is compatible with a capitalist society. In fact, GPL can be the basis for making money with FLOSS software, by offering non-GPL'd commercial licenses. All the GPL ensures that if you want to make a proprietary fork of the software, its original author has to be made part of the equation. Some people see it as a tool to achieve communism and I think they are misguided in the view that the goal is desireable. The open source software they create is nevertheless a valuable and worthy contribution to mankind. You can't just reject someone's work because of idiotic ideology. As long as they share this view and allow me to have a productive working relationship with them on the open source component, I'm fine.
Well actually it has always been followed by a recession for quite a while now. So it's certainly a good predictor. But sometimes one had to wait as much as a few years, that's why SPY is not tanking.

Article's still trash. This guy is forecasting a 6% yield on 10 year treasuries, yeah sure:

Pre, probably based on a hypothetical reasonable person in the defendant's position. For example:

A provocateur is giving a speech to a crowd against someone or something. The crowd is agitated, and armed. The provocateur commands the crowd to go physically attack the target of their rage. A reasonable person would think that's likely to start a riot.

Someone posts on a message board filled with graphic descriptions of violence the posters purportedly intend intend to commit. The poster says they intend to kill [racial slurs] for the good of white people, start a race war, etc.... Another forum member, knowing that only one or two of the tens of thousands of posts of that nature has been connected to actual acts of violence replies "do it!". A reasonable person would not expect the poster actually planned to commit violence, or that their comment would change the outcome.
Are you just using "totalitarian" as a synonym for "really bad" here, or do you have something more precise in mind?
Nobody really knows when the next recession will be or how bad it will be. Whenever it does arrive, the most interesting impact will be on the pension funds. A terrible but short recession e.g. 50% equity decline for 1-2 years after which the Fed re-inflates the market is not as bad as a prolonged period of stagnation e.g. 20% equity decline and then no growth for 5-10 years. In the second scenario, trillions of dollars worth of pension funds head towards insolvency.
But we're currently on a different path, since backpropagation is not how nature does it (as far as I know).
Checking toilet and sink faucet before leaving bathrooms?
You are absolutely right and I should have been clearer on my first reply.

Most of my contact with LabView code was built by people that had no professional training on it. They use it to automate "simple" scientific experiments and create visualization dashboard, since they're mostly self-taught their software needs a re-write every 3 years.
Again I believe you are right, that is mostly due to the programmer not being knowledgeable about the language itself.

Regarding the syntax, most of the LabView code I've seen was built by people with the aforementioned knowledge of the language, so It is possible that I've never seen good LabView code. But I never liked the looping and conditionals.

The /pol/ boards on 4chan and 8chan aren't role playing boards. No one there is discussing race war in the context of an ARG or a fictional universe. The people being ironic here know perfectly well they are ironically supporting actual racists who actually sometimes commit violence in the real world.
Should Google be allowed to forbid criticism of Google on their platforms? I mean, perhaps - but it's hard to argue that there couldn't be consequences from that.

In the 20th century, here's how you could tell the good guys from the bad guys. The bad guys forced you to agree. If there were inconvenient facts or opinions, they were suppressed and the people espousing them were coerced. By contrast, the good guys were open. They let people criticize them, letting their good deeds speak for them. The bad guys destroyed lives just to get their way. Here's the thing: The good guys and the bad guys weren't properly defined by their flags. They weren't confined to particular geographic areas and constrained by borders. The good and bad were defined by the above actions.

So let's apply that to the present day. How does Google behave? Are they the kind of people who would suppress opinions they don't like? Are they the kind of people who would do something intellectually dishonest, like leave out the references? Are they the kind of people who would be the opposite of open, and use superior force to get their way?

Indeed, it's hard to argue that there couldn't be consequences from that. The arc of history is long, and it bends towards justice.
Lots of innuendo here, but that's about it. How many former police are members of the Democrat party? Would that be news?

Those "desirable metro areas" were not always that way. In 1963, my grandma spent $9000 to have a big house built on some undesirable empty hills that were a good distance from downtown. It's the geographic center of San Francisco.

Everybody wants to skip the "wait 56 years" step. Nobody seems to like building a house on some undesirable hills away from downtown and then waiting 56 years. People are even pushing to degrade her peaceful neighborhood, the one that exists because of people like her, with more crowding.
This thread was deleted from 8chan less than ten minutes after it was created - too fast for even any archives to be created - and the poster was instantly condemned as a criminal for carrying out this criminal act. That is an extremely impressive response, especially when compared to anything from Big Tech.

I haven't quite figured out the timelines in the court documents but it's clear that the authorities were in the subsequent discussions and took the screenshots themselves because of the (You) markers next to their comments.

To be fair, colonial reparations are such an ill-thought out idea in itself that adding privacy issues to it makes the whole concept completely over-the-top ludicrous. I'm not so sure it's a good example to illustrate why privacy matters.

But sure, in an insane world where they are accepted, there would be privacy implications to it.
Well the example was now around health data, but you can easily make up other more innocuous examples that will discriminate enough to give you a disadvantage.
