I think you haven't read the other paragraphs. Please do so if you haven't.

But nevertheless, contrary to some open source developers, doctors are not giving their labour force for free nor living below the poverty line. The value of a doctor is very clear to our society and in Europe we happily pay our taxes to keep the universal healthcare system running. The value of software on the other hand is decreasing.
I agree. I'm not going to sign up without seeing a sample.
Yes, I know. But that's not what we're talking about now. We're taking about the objectionable comments he made now, rather than his long history of objectionable opinions. It probably affected the decision to fire him though.
Sodomy laws aren’t prosecuted because they are all considered unconstitutional, not because some spirit of the law isn’t being violated. In an ideal world, they would have been cleaned up along with other archaic laws still on the books.
It's very simple. Swatting is not a thing in most other countries. Where I live, I'm pretty sure the police would survey the situation and first seek verbal contact (via phone, through the door, through a window, etc.) before storming in. Maybe they'd even nicely knock and ask what's going on. The problem really is the US police. The US police needs to be demilitarised and trained in deescalation. That's all there is to it. The man who died in the case referred in this article was shot for no reason at all except that someone was a bit too trigger happy. No policeman was in any danger at all.
There is already a separate criminal suit; this one is just trying to prevent him from profiting from his book, due to it (allegedly) containing intelligence info and violating his NDA.

From the link: "This lawsuit is separate from the criminal charges brought against Snowden for his alleged disclosures of classified information. This lawsuit is a civil action, and based solely on Snowden’s failure to comply with the clear pre-publication review obligations included in his signed non-disclosure agreements. "
Honestly, when Stallman visited my university, because I knew the people that were involved with the organization, I got to know how a massive asshole he is, plus his conduct during the panel he was part of was deplorable. Also the vast majority of the time I saw something written by him made me strongly dislike him. I do recognize how his extremist views have pushed the open source movement into a good direction, though that is pretty much the only positive thing I can say about him.

Still my argument is that he should not be excised from society from having what the hivemind decided was the wrong kind of opinion. It's ok to discuss things and I'd even argue that all discussions should be had.

I just don't want to live in a place where expressing my opinion on some controversial issue, entirely lawfully, might have me excluded from society.
I started along the same path as you. What i have been experiencing is Analysis Paralysis. Like the OP says, the trick is to commit to something that helps you from point A to Point B the fastest. And that for the time being atleast is RoR as is very opinionated and there are lots of humungous opensource, well maintained libraries floating around. And last but not the least, The Rails Tutorial actually bets you going to building something useful in no time. Good luck.!
US on the whole is also fairly poor. For example, 40% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck can't afford an unexpected 400 dollar expense. And China has far better support for the poor than US with things like healthcare, education, and public transit.

Related question. Is it possible to use Gitlab CI with a runner running on your own hardware to get unlimited CI time? I'd like to take a machine at my home and use it to run automated tests/etc, especially because some of the integration tests can be quite long (ie, chewing up CI minutes).

For those wondering, the purpose here (part of a multi-pronged approach) is to restrict his income and seize his assets. The less money someone has access to, the less power they have. This makes it harder for him to live day-to-day, restricts his access to experts who won't work pro-bono, and ultimately will hurt his criminal defense should he ever return to the USA.

These guys don't fool around. Expect more pressure from other angles as well.

FWIW, this component:

PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch cluster, Redis, RabbitMQ, Django / Python3, uWSGI, Nginx, Celery, Celery Beat, Supervisord

All of that is a very typical Django stack with React bolted onto the frontend. Whether he runs into trouble managing RabbitMQ, Redis, Postgres or any of the Python services is another story, but at least if he did there are many, many others using the exact same stack, so he should be able to easily find answers to people experiencing the same problems. All of these technologies have several year track records now, too, so (hopefully) they are stable and reliable in production. My biggest concern would be managing the ES cluster.

On the other hand, I disagree with his points about docker being overly complex. Docker images are simple. Kubernetes, once you get the hang of it, is great on GKE and gives you automatic SSL via Google or let’s encrypt, and load balancing and auto-scaling just works. It’s probably more expensive than managing your own servers, at this level, but maybe not since you could pack more services into fewer compute instances.
I see the same issue with the other debate raging on HN: Stallman and Free Speech.

The issue is that people -- not sure whether it was OP, or you -- conflate what is moral with what is legal.

One person starts off with a moral premise: people should have free speech, or people should have the right to say what the government is doing.

Someone else responds with what is legal: the law applies to government curtailment of free speech, or there was a contract in place.

Laws should reflect values, not vice-versa. What is legal should not be confused with what is right.

Note: I am not taking a moral position myself here. I just wish the legal position would not short-circuit the debate about what the correct moral position ought to be.
It would be a sad irony if it did. When Meetup first popped back in the mid-2000s, they very deliberately turned away from the "blitzscaling" model in favor of building a sustainable business. For them to end up as collateral damage of someone else's blitzscaling train wreck fifteen years later would show that God has a dark sense of humor.
The issue with the channels are the same than communicating over slack:

You customers are feeling like they can ask any question and get an answer in 1 minute, and if you dont answer them straight away then they are unhappy. Definitively not something I recommend
Honestly for me it's mostly because I started using GitHub first. The products aren't that different to me, mostly because I'm not a power user trying to squeeze the most of every last feature.
> People aren't for free speech, at all and anywhere: they are for people having the same opinion as them or follow an official line.

This just isn't true. Sure I want every one to respect my opinion but I don't want them to be a slave to it. I mean think about it if every one thought the same life would be boring as fuck.
The issue is being set in stone with the spin bit, bufferbloat or not. It's an always on path signature.
hmm, yes in the story I'm envisioning the AIs don't wipe out humanity because they have achieved sentience, but just because it turns out killing all humans is an optimizing component of solving some other problem.
But aren't they still supposed to fix the operations before they IPO, or at least enough to convince investors it's a good buy? We're not talking about companies that hope to stay private for the foreseeable future - these are companies that are trying (and failing) to IPO or very recently had unsuccessful IPOs.

A brand is only so useful if it's attached to a money fire.

Awesome, as a long-time Debian user myself that makes me very happy :)
I will admit I am not involved in FSF and am realizing I am missing a lot of context here regarding Stallmans apparent history of these types of comments.
Strange - I was using Shared Channels on an enterprise grid plan over a year ago...
Regus offices are soulless. If you try to run a startup out of one, you'll have a harder time hiring and everyone will want to go home at 5 pm.

The amazing thing about WeWork is that the offices are fun. The one I know in SF is an OK place to hang out in the evening.

So I disagree it's just a brand. WeWork's product is better.

Maybe other temporary office companies will figure out how to make their offices fun, but I sort of doubt it. Companies rarely learn how to be more fun if they didn't start off that way. If WeWork is the only fun office space, they'll be hugely profitable someday.
I can't tell if you're being serious, but for the love of freedom I hope you're not.

i have used shared channels to coordinate with outside contractors. not having to add every single contractor as a guest to a channel was a major win for me. each of their orgs already had a slack setup.
I don't know. In my mind I consider backblaze to be a competitor to S3. Has S3 ever raised prices? It's honestly hard to imagine S3 ever raising prices (not that they couldn't, just that they have made it part of their marketing identity that they lower prices over time).

I think this will affect how people compare S3 to backblaze in the future.
There's something to your idea of breaking this complicated problem in smaller chunks and tackling it over time. Would you like to write about this together?
As always, crazy interesting stuff coming out of OpenAI!

This is the type of stuff that amazes me - I really wish I had more of an opportunity to play with AI/ML in my day to day work.
> If you've done something wrong you're allowed to apologise.

mc32 wasn't saying an apology will increase damages, just that it is often seen as an admission of guilt. In some places (e.g. Canada) an apology is not a sign of guilt. But you seem to be saying something different?
Yes, have been doing this for a year in autoscaling configuration on gitlab.com

> The objective fact is that Tesla and Walmart are working together to solve these problems as it's literally in everyone's interest to solve them.

Not really. Walmart is well past that point. Walmart is literally suing Tesla over what Walmart perceives as gross incompetence on this issue.

> Looking at legal briefings from only one side in one court case is not going to leave you with a realistic, objective look at the situation.

In general, no. But in practice, Walmart has a very strong reputation in the business world. Walmart is well known to be an upstanding business that gives lots of leeway to its contractors. In fact, its pretty rare for Walmart to sue contractors, despite the fact that Walmart is a huge business with probably thousands of contractors working with them.

Furthermore, the Legal Briefing Walmart has prepared is unusually well-researched. The briefing makes clear that Walmart went to extraordinary lengths to help Tesla in this case:

> Walmart nevertheless worked closely with Tesla to explore a potential path toward re-energization of the systems. Walmart discussed with Tesla in detail the concerns it
had about the conditions it discovered at the sites, and Walmart's consultants helped educate
Tesla's personnel on how to conduct solar system inspections properly, including the types of
conditions that can contribute to the risk of fire, how to use equipment and tools properly to look
for and correct such conditions, and how to follow site safety and inspection protocols.

Walmart gave Tesla over a year to correct the defects and to raise the quality of the inspections. And yet fire-after-fire continued to break out at Walmart stores across the country.

This wasn't some sort of one-off crazy event. And all the evidence has been documented already. Sure, these court documents show Walmart's perspective on the matter, but they're not allowed to lie or slander in these court documents.

Walmart started to move and investigate after the 3rd fire. A total of seven fires took place before Walmart sued (and even after Tesla allegedly de-energized systems). This is a systemic issue.
Brexit uncertainty: what it means for your job search

If by economics you mean "mainstream economic dogma", then sure. Every abstraction necessarily leaves something out, and I'm arguing for what has been cast aside. Simply restating the dogma does not address my claim.

Concretely this dogma was formed based around a need to be manufacturing more stuff. Now we have plenty of stuff but are depleting our natural resources creating a massive surplus just to throw it away. I'd say it's time to revisit the assumptions of that dogma.
Now it's just semantics. Denying the current settlement would inevitably result in a larger settlement, unless everyone appealing to the courts is saying that the $125 repayment is too much.
The thing people seem unable to do with Snowden is separate the intention of his actions with the impact. I have no doubt he had the right intentions. Informing the people of the gross violations of civil liberties is a noble endeavor.

However, the impact that it had and the manner in which he conducted it, and the channels he went through to do so had a dramatically negative impact on sources and methods. Real people in the field were put into actual danger as a direct result of his actions. US National Security was hampered as a result. The biggest rejoicers were arguably our two biggest threats: Russia, whom we have been fighting a proxy war in the middle east for ages now, and China and that alone should tell you something. People who believe they are doing the right thing for their country were endangered, and my country's ability to keep us safe was hampered.

Surely there was a way to let the appropriate people in charge know about these programs, and maybe had a greater possibility of enacting actual change, because as it stands right now, while we are more informed as a people, exactly zilch has changed since 2013.
For the average person a basic understanding of arithmetic would be nice.

People are always complaining that schools don't teach them how to do their taxes, but for most people doing taxes is a combination of addition, subtraction, and following a page of instructions about which numbers to copy from one piece of paper to another.

Imagine trying to teach 16 and 17 year olds that are going to grow into adults that struggle to copy numbers from Box A to Line 3 and then add them correctly the difference between t-value and a t-value.

(I also believe the average person should have a better understanding of probability and statistics ... but we're still working on getting the average high schooler an understanding of why 1/2 + 1/3 is not 1/6 and why you don't need a calculator to calculate 7 * 0)

This is what I've always heard. I am sure the amount of violations is higher in absolute numbers, given that it's war and a lot of things. Anecdotally I've also heard former military police officers are the best de-escalators.

Most American cities have condos available for less than 1m dollars. In fact, pretty much all of them do. In fact, pretty much only in certain areas of NYC, SF, Boston and LA are the median condo prices above 1m. In Chicago, the 3rd largest city in the US, condo prices are like 400k-600k for a 30th floor lakeview 2br in a nice neighborhood.

I recall in the 90s people saying with a straight face things like "it's about eyeballs, not profits." Sure, eventually companies like Google were able to turn the eyeballs into profits by way of advertising, but most of the 90s web ventures failed to turn their eyeballs into sustainable revenue. Now no one doubts you can sell stuff on the web, services on the web, ads on the web. Now what we doubt is the companies like Uber and WeWork that want to 'disrupt' old businesses like car rental office rental. They've done so, but mainly by pricing themselves below cost. (leaving aside the, uh, quirks of management) And there's no sign that they can either raise prices significantly or come up with other more profitable revenue streams.
> How much money is "dip my toes"?

That's one of the things I'm not sure of too. I technically can afford basically whatever, but there's a lot of opportunity cost and I'll feel really bad if I buy something pricy and it ends up collecting dust.

This thread has been great for getting me to think about why I might want hardware and what my actual goals are. If it's to produce finished, polished songs, I think using a DAW is a better workflow for me. If it's as a sound source, I'm not yet convinced that real analog is worth the complexity and cost.

But if it's a fun box to get inspired by and play with away from the computer, then something that has an interesting UI, can make some sounds, and has some amount of sequencing is what I should focus on. That sounds like an OP-1, Digitone or Deluge to me.

> Also, try to buy a used device. You can save tons of money this way.
