Would it be possible to build an end user system that completely sandboxes applications with these components? ie Is it possible Apple is doing more than server side stuff here?
Firstly, this post is really excellent and quite profound - I read it end to end and would recommend you do so too if you've just come directly to the comments - it goes a lot broader than the title might suggest and contains quite a few quotes I'll be referring back to.

That said, on the surface point about making money directly from open source, I'd just like to chip in with my own perspective that wasn't really covered in the article (it's a different type of thing).

In the article the author is talking about building a complete, functional product and open sourcing it, and how that means users are very unlikely to pay (donate) cash to the author. This is 100% accurate, and the point is very well made (again, seriously, read this article, it's great).

I've put out a few libraries and tools on my github (i.e. not full products, but smaller component parts others can build products from), mostly to solve my own problems, and have the source easily available and properly licensed to reuse between projects. And hey, if someone else finds them useful, great. This is pretty important - I did this for my own benefit, and I get this benefit regardless of if anyone else stars or uses the repos.

Most of these repos, that's exactly what happened, 1 or 2 stars at best, only I use them. But one of them, react-frontload [0], actually took off because it turned out to be useful for quite a lot of people. Now, the reason for writing and open sourcing that library was the same as all the others. I don't expect, need or frankly even particularly want people to donate money for me to work on that. Any time I invest in improving it pays off anyway, because I use it.

But what has happened because of my work on that library is I've had people contacting me for contracting work integrating it into their product, general job offers, meetup talks, etc etc. So in a way, it has actually led to opportunities for making money, more or less directly. As in, had I not open sourced that, none of these things would have happened.

Just to add that point to the discussion here: whilst you definitely shouldn't expect to make direct money from open source, especially via donations, you absolutely can find it opening doors to opportunities and making money in other ways. But even then, that shouldn't be your motivation going in. I suspect if it were, you might have a lot lower chance of it happening as a result, ironically.

Haven't read the whole article yet, but if I can put one unnecessary and unimportant opinion from the whole thing out there, I don't really like the flag Jeremia Heaton chose for his new country. I mean, it isn't terrible. I have seen worse but common man, you had the rare chance to create a new flag and you went with something that kinda has a seal in the middle of it (fourth principle of flag design). I mean it isn't the worst seal on a flag out there but at the same time the crown will surely not be destinct from a couple of hundred meters away even.
Donation in open source works only for BIG projects. Small project get pennies in 99% cases. The hard truth or/and dark side of FOSS.

You can literally pull every single conversation private or not from Slack with a button push or email request. The company owns all that data. There doesn't appear to be anything special about how Teams does data retention from my perspective.
Sure, both are consequences of the same overall point: the west doesn't have the same power over China that it had over the AS countries.
About the only thing you will get unity on from the Chinese people is unity.
This misses the point. The parent isn’t talking about just building a few chat apps. They are talking about building a chat app which can have basically any ms office thing embedded inside it.
The thing is, all of these algorithms should be able to do well with arbitrary constraints. If it means saving less money then so be it.

Many of these systems start optimizing some simple criteria and work fairly well. But with additional constraints they fall apart.

Even companies that manage their own fleets for their own needs would like different things to purely optimizing distance/duration. They might want to balance the workload across all of their drivers, separate the drivers so they drive in a particular area, undefined start or end of the driving job.

In the case above, something could have definitely be done, if the algorithm was efficient enough.
> FYI, some alleged that mainland policemen are already operating inside the HKPF.

This is why I said "openly."

Economically, Hong Kong is increasingly irrelevant to China - it's only like the fifth largest city by GDP, and there are 10 more catching up quickly. HK is far more important as a symbol, and if I were Xi Jinping headed into a turbulent global economy with flagging growth at home I wouldn't want it to look like I couldn't control my people.

That said, it's a delicate balancing act. Too little response and you seem weak; too harsh and you draw international condemnation and confirm the worst fear of everyone who is counting on China to join the world order rather than try and upend it.
Just get a $30 RTLSDR kit from Amazon. Plenty of easy/fun projects, only caveat is its read(listen) only. Track planes, listen to TV/Radio/watch your garage door clicker/listen to satellites/the space station/a million other things.

If you like it and want to take things further, buy a limesdr mini or bladerf or something. By then you'll feel constrained by the rtlsdr and know better what you want.

I heard that the same thing happened in California and it's led to a lot of people being disillusioned with the solar promise. Is it lobbying by the utility companies that is leading to these reductions or other factors?
A thing I love about my therapist is, that I tell my anxiety stories exactly like you, without much emotion and pretty clear and to the point. Still, in that moment, I experienced heavy levels of anxiety, but I can't just reproduce that at a later time (that sounds odd to me anyway). But he takes my word for it and works through it with me. Never in my therapy did he not believe me, just because I didn't tell it with a terrified look in my face.

If you don't mind wearing a Hololens all day, it orients itself by turning your entire surroundings into ~1m mesh blocks that serve as its internal map. As a bonus, you can retrieve the current mesh from the device's internal web server in order to visualize against it.

Cons: Wearing Hololens all day, spending thousands on a hobby project. :-/ Fascinating if you manage to borrow one though.
"the beliefs of people living at that time functioned differently"

What are you suggesting would be a suitable modern day analogue?

If other people are claiming that he's the son of god, rather than he himself, doesn't that also throw the question of hypersanity into question. If you were to claim that I were the son of God, would that not colour everything else you wrote about me? You are at best not a neutral witness.

Am not so sure about this, the current emphasis on "territorial integrity" is IMO as much, if not more of, a result of PRC propaganda as established on any historical basis.
The general interpretation is along the lines of:

https://globalnews.ca/news/3230205/women-work-more-than-men-... - "Women work more than men and it’s impacting their health, study says"

"According to a recent study by the Australian National University, women (on average) work fewer hours at the office. But when taking unpaid domestic labour and care-giving into account, they’re going above and beyond their “workhour-health limits.”" ...

"Men, the researchers say, are able to dedicate more time at work because they spend less time on housework, which gives them an edge in their career, co-author Lyndall Strazdins tells Broadly.

In fact, men get 100 extra hours a year to advance their careers, she says."

and https://www.theguardian.com/society/2012/mar/10/housework-ge... - "Forty years of feminism – but women still do most of the housework?"

"Nick Pearce, director of IPPR. "Women still shoulder the overwhelming burden of household tasks, particularly after they have had children. When they earn more, their bargaining power with their partners increases, so closing the gender pay gap would help. Universal childcare, rather than tax relief for nannies or cleaners, is also the best way forward for a family-friendly, more equal Britain."

And https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wages_for_housework :

"The International Wages for Housework Campaign was a feminist global social movement, which grew out of the International Feminist Collective in Italy in 1972 and organized resistance and public debate on the social formations produced by gendered labor and reproductive labor, for example domestic work such as housework, childcare, gender discrimination, and the socially reinforced performance of gender roles, gendered desire, and leisure inequality. The Campaign's platform included the women's right to work outside of the home, unemployment benefits, parental leave, and equal pay."

The history section includes the term 'oppression' directly:

"A number of early feminists focused women's economic independence along with the role of housewife in relation to women's oppression. In 1898 Charlotte Perkins Gilman published Women and Economics. This book argued for paid housework 74 years before the International Wages for Housework Campaign was founded as well as arguing to expand the definition of women in the home."

Absolutely, my friend got bitten by this in Croatia. He invested quite a lot in solar and then government cut down on what they pay per kWh. Plus with the prices of panels going down all the time you're effectively throwing away money by going into it too early...
Didnt FedEx or UPS do this same thing years back by eliminating left hand turns?
At least it is voted by the people no matter how imperfect it is. 1200 people is hardly a definition of "by people".
I need to make a correction to my comments on plasma screening here, after a 4am realization that my mental model of what would happen to the potential was in fact pretty solidly wrong. That said, I feel like fixing my mistake just leads this proposed dipole drive to fail in a different way.

So: It is entirely possible for a negative screening charge to accumulate right next to the positive plate/grid that will completely eliminate the exterior field (and similarly on the other side), and that will not generate the extremely strong field at the edge of the plate that I was imagining in my comment above. Specifically, if the negative screening charge is more or less in the shape of an adjacent parallel plate of plasma (and a positive parallel plate of plasma right next to the negative plate/grid), that will indeed perfectly cancel the field outside. At that point, the most you'd find for the field in between the "plasma plate" and the real one would be a simple parallel plate capacitor field: the same magnitude that was originally expected between the real plates. Because it would only act over a very small distance, this would only lead to a negligibly small change in potential. BUT! In this scenario, you have essentially neutralized both of the original plates: both sides are at roughly zero potential, and the net effect of these "four parallel plates" in the interior region is to have zero field there, so there is no longer any field in the middle to accelerate plasma particles and the drive doesn't work.

On the other hand, if you constantly keep pumping charge to maintain the desired potential difference between your original plates/grids, that precisely means that you are not allowing your plates to be fully screened: you get your drive field back in between the plates, but now you're basically back to the unscreened case and it seems that my original objections hold. (I assume that as charge piled up, eventually the narrow fields between the grids and the surrounding plasma would become strong enough that electrons would leak between them, creating an awkward circuit.) And I suspect that any intermediate situation between these two extremes would just interpolate between their two different modes of not working.

That said, I am not even remotely an expert on plasma physics. I can't rule out the possibility that there's some fascinating effect in plasma dynamics that would turn the nitty-gritty details of all this into a functioning drive system. But I'm pretty convinced that if it does work, the justification will depend strongly on detailed plasma dynamics: the simple arguments we've been making about how parallel plate capacitors accelerate individual ions (or even individual electron/proton pairs) won't capture the heart of it.

That's true globally but many countries have birth rates below replacement levels. A declining population can cause problems just as an increasing one can.
Because you won't get money from OSS contribution for most part. If your priority is money, then OSS is not the best option unless you have a clear strategy of monetizing it.
Leave aside the ideology of restricted use in open source.

What's commercial use? Creative Commons has been messing around with this question for something like decade and has never come to a resolution.

So, sure, advocate for changes to the open source definition if you like. But there are reasons that a lot of people are resistant.
It was a focused product. Native apps, high performance, no funny business. Yes, it lacked some features that the newer stuff had, but it did the team chat part really well and got out of your way.

Deploying web apps lets you iterate faster, stuff features in faster without ending up with different capabilities across the group of apps. Sometimes the ability to add features too easily is abused to add too many features without thinking through them.
It's not a bubble, it's a model for paying for things you value. People used to pay a lot for their TV, satellite dish, VHS tapes, all the space to store them, newspaper subscriptions, 3+ magazine subscriptions, phones (which were actually just phones), long distance calls, etc. We came in and replaced so much of that with software, which is still overall cheaper and much better if you pay for it.

Keep your password manager offline with Keepass2 USB keyboard plugin for Keepass2Android [1], but I'm not sure how well it works. Too-fast USB keyboard input does seem to have issues (the open issue seems similar to things I've seen an AlphaSmart 2000/3000 do in USB emulation mode; PS/2 always worked fine).

I don't know specifically about Caliornia, but in several places that uses to offer "pay back" plans for injecting power into the grid, the problem was that solar power generates power when it is not in the highest demand and varies too much.

I still think there are some adaptations that could be done to mitigate that problem, but the grid seems simply not correctly set up to efficiently use the energy produced by millions of people generating a lot of power during the day and draining a lot at night.
10% sound fair? Split it 20 ways for each lib. I'm sure they'd all enjoy their 47 cents.
Then why in the article says that when untreated the mortality is over 75%?
One thing that has been happening is that peak rate times are moving in response to solar, which has a pretty negative effect on the economics of grid attached solar.

Grid attached solar is a lot more attractive when your generation is at substantially at peak rates and your morning/evening grid usage is at part-peak or off-peak rates.

Sure, why not. Perhaps at the same time they could organize referenda on independence for Tibet, Taiwan and Xinjiang. Maybe they could open the global Internet to their citizens and abandon the ridiculous censorship programs they run. They could also submit to international adjudication on the South China Sea. They would be reasonable things to do.
What is the value of not being disappeared? I highly doubt they would have any takers.
Sometimes inclusion is going to be a bit embarrassing
I would like to think that a hyper-rational would opt out of society in general. Not relying on the conventional ways of sustenance that we are accustomed to. One example of this is the survivalist, that lives in nature. One could start incrementally moving towards minimalism, acquiring the training and skills to farm and hurt animals and finally step outside of organized society.

This is something I have been thinking about lately. To what extent is technological progress and economic growth truly useful?

These are correlations, since the study did not quantify or estimate what bees or other insects are actually exposed to. It may or may not overestimate actual insecticide doses received by bees, the study says.

There are no clear criteria to distinguish dyslexia from poor reading ability; multiple studies have found that reading ability is unimodally distributed, with no clear distinction between dyslexics and "ordinary" poor readers. We have identified no interventions that are particularly beneficial to dyslexics; dyslexics and non-dyslexics appear to respond at similar rates to training and practice in reading skills.

Sky CREDIT SOLUTION is the best credit repair company
I used to wallow in self-pity each time I think about the kind of mediocre life I lived just because I had a miserable credit. My FICO was at 510 and I had many hard inquiries with 9 items in collection, late payments and a mistake that was made on my address. Last month I decided to do something about it and contacted SKY CREDIT SOLUTION via a referral. They helped me recover my lost glory, my score was increased to 768 and the inquiries, collections, and late payments were all wiped. They even corrected the error on my address. If you require adequate credit repair, I insist you engage their services, here is how you can reach them Text (620) 399 6316 or Email SKYCREDITSOLUTION247@GMAIL.COM...

People don't happily sign up for 99 $5 subscriptions and then cancel all of them when they need a 100th. They evaluate the value that each subscription is bringing them, and when they feel they're spending too much they cancel the ones that represent the least value for money. They do that even when they're not signing up for something new. Consequently the subscription bubble won't ever crash, because it's not a bubble. It's just a business model.
