One little nuance you have to keep in mind there is that many automakers now generally like emission regulations. The reason is because it creates a cycle of obsolescence. Make a car that will be noncompliant with expected regulations in 'x' years and you now have a guaranteed revenue cycle. I'm not saying this is good or bad - it could well be that even if they have bad intentions it results in a good outcome, so who cares? But these little nuances are, I think, important in considering the big picture as you're doing with your statement.

Another example along these lines is asthma inhalers. The reason asthma inhalers cost so much in the US, even though it's for a dirt cheap drug that's long since out of patent protection, is because pharmaceutical companies lobbied to get rid of the CFC based delivery mechanism for "environmental reasons." They lobbied on this hard, for years. And finally succeeded. And once the new rules passed they immediately threw a hoard of patents at the new mandated HFC delivery system and jacked the prices up skyhigh. [1] So you'd think rolling back drug regulations would have the pharmaceutical industry jumping for joy, but in this case they specifically utilized regulations and environmentalism to create a massive profit that would not have otherwise existed.

Ultimately a lot of these issues are a lot more opaque than they might seem at a glance.

Really divestment is something which seems intuitively to be threshold based for its impact. If there is a robust investment pool any leaving will just be auto-filled by those seeking opportunities. However if it gets below a critical mass from enough divestitures they will find new investments hampered and those who are "late to the exit" will find it hard to get value out of it.
The fees are back up to where they used to be and the gas tax was also increased. An effort by various cavemen to repeal the act was soundly defeated last year.

Yes, everyone sees EV's as the way our of our mess, but that's only part of the problem - EV's will help with emissions, but not congestion.

And then there's the people that see self-driving cars as the way out of the congestion. But self-driving cars will make congestion worse, by making single occupancy vehicle trips cheaper and easier, shifting more people from transit to cars. But then each self-driving car doubles the number of trips, since instead of someone driving to work and parking, a self-driving car will drop them off at work then drive off to look for another passenger or parking outside of downtown, so 2 trips for one passenger.
Is this... a joke? Performance art?

Not snarking. I'm honestly more confused reading this than I was before.
Wrong. The person that actually carried out the swatting, is unnamed and does not face charges (the SWAT team member who shot and killed an unarmed, unidentified person).
This is pretty neat - just tried from two separate networks, got two separate results.
A good starting point is the federal guidelines https://www.gsa.gov/travel/plan-book/per-diem-rates. Just remember there are separate per diems for meals/incidentals and lodging, where travel is always 100% reimbursed or paid up front by the company (which I suggest you do). And I will tell you, that the lodging rates the GSA uses are low in my experience, for example, LA is easily $200/night with taxes etc to stay at a decent place that is close to businesses, but the GSA lodging for LA says $180/night. You can do < $180 to be fair, but many times to be near clients and not eat up travel time and car fees etc, it is a low amount for lodging. In other parts of the Country it is on the high side, but not crazy either way.

Not saying that is the end all of resources, but it is a place to start. Per diems are nice, as a consultant I used to make good money on the per diems, because usually I could do better on my expenses when I traveled. It does save a lot of money in terms of reimbursement management from the company side so that is a trade off, but if you are pinching every penny, I'd do reimbursements and put people on a reasonable budget when they travel, e.g. explain that no, the $100/steak dinner won't be covered as that is excessive. I can't remember the specific wording on this, but you can check with your payroll provider or attorney on it, but you can limit people from excess when doing reimbursements. And you may want to check with the attorney or payroll/tax person as well, because it used to be (and I don't know if it still is) you could set a per diem and/or do reimbursement. What that meant was that you can say you reimburse all expenses up to the maximum of the per diem rate, but I am not sure if this is still ok to do, but I worked for a few companies with this rule and it was fair IMO. At the same time, you should obviously exclude client events, e.g. your sales person takes the client to dinner, that's obviously excluded from the per diem or limits.

The one thing to be really careful of, don't tell people after 5pm they are on their own time so the company doesn't cover them, that can get you into trouble if they file a complaint (typically with wage and labor board in most states). If someone is traveling on business for your company, even if that means over a weekend or typical company holiday, they are to be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses, or are eligible for a per diem. When I ran my consulting businesses I just gave a fair but higher per diem and said screw it, just made life way easier. Easier to budget and plan plus in our case we could pass the cost on to the client (so we didn't make it crazy either). When you are doing sales, the costing isn't as clean but a per diem does help budgeting as you are learning the process.
> Your first comment implies

It doesn't.

> certainly you don't.

I don't. I speak just for all the users that don't benefit from the more frequent release cycle.

Note that the more frequent release cycle doesn't mean that any development will take less (especially absolute) time. It can even take more, as more frequent release cycles mean that administrative work related to every release increases.

> You seem to be suggesting a shorter release cycle will prevent them from continuing that work.

No. Again you construct what I haven't said, because you don't have valid arguments against what I've actually said.

I'm claiming that the total work by both the developers inside of Mozilla and by all the users who have to respond to the event of the new release increases with this management decision. And I quote the argument of the management, written in the release, which I consider to be weak compared to the said costs:

"Shorter release cycles provide greater flexibility to support product planning and priority changes due to business or market requirements"

No. Comparing the two acts is uncharitable. The 17 year old was exploited and faced a much worse wrong. Stallman was wronged in my opinion but of course it isn't comparable to it.
Please Correct me if I am wrong.

"We’re adjusting our cadence to increase our agility, and bring you new features more quickly. "

Does having faster release cycle really means having new features more quickly? The original 6-8 Weeks are already pretty damn fast. So I this pcs as marketing to general new site rather than technical.

Firefox, ( And Google Chrome ) already has Alpha and Beta Channels with fairly large number of audience testing it in real world. And features requires time to think, design, bake, tested in real world and refine, having a few more releases in between those process doesn't make the features come out any quicker.
Not just destroy the environment. The US car industry will have a hard time developing and manufactoring cars which can be exported. Practically every other market will have stricter norms. China is betting big on electric cars, setting domestic restrictions forcing the Chinese car industry to innovate.

Then, the US will argue that the trade deficit is "unfair", while the real reason that markets will not buy US goods is that the products are anachronistic, sub-standard junk.
I would imagine there is more of a compelling state interest in protecting against actual "things" (contraband, bombs, etc), whereas a letter can pretty much only contain "speech".
I assume, not an expert here, that GitLab’s runners spin up when you make a push that triggers a build.

I’ve set up my own pipeline with Jenkins, Docker Registry, and Gitea and when I push a change to Gitea, a hook is called in Jenkins which starts executing relatively simple bash scripts for building images, pushing them into the Docker Registry, fetching them on my server, and restarting them.

Runners are almost certainly the equivalent of Jenkins here. A hook is called, and Gitlab’s runner starts executing some script to build images and assets, and deploys them for you.

If you add in tests things can probably get pricey.

But I bet you can have multiple runners building different parts of your system in parallel which is why their by the minute charging scheme makes sense (as opposed to number of runners required per build or something).

And it seems fair to charge you a combined total of ten minutes of processing time for two parallel runners, one of which started at the 0th second and ran for one minute and one which started and ran for 9 minutes.

If you don’t use it now, it can be a lot of initial work to set up, but watching your CI/CD pipeline chug along and deploy your work can be really really satisfying.

Was definitely overkill for my personal home page but really enjoyable to build and have it come together.
Venture funds typically take 10-15 years for the investments to cash out. It's been close to 10 years for fund II, but I believe they invested in Foursquare and AirBnB, so depending on how those companies do it could change their returns.

In general, it's hard to answer questions based on this chart. In addition to IRR, VC funds are judged on two other key numbers:

TVPI (Total Value to Paid In) which is the total value of all of the fund's investments divided by the capital LPs have put into the fund, both realized and unrealized. For the latter, LPs will often look at the investments themselves and make their own determination of value. Especially in this environment, many funds have investments in unicorns that are inflated and never end up being realized. A fund with a $800m TV may not actually look great if a large % of that is in WeWork and is based on a $40B valuation. This is also the case for IRR.

DPI (Distributions to Paid In) which is the total amount of cash a VC fund has sent to LPs divided by the amount of the LPs paid into the fund. At the end of the day, this is the most important number as it's what the fund's investors make, but it can take 10-15 years for a fund to completely distribute everything, so it's not that useful unless the fund has been around a long time.

Interesting; I made the same attempt, but based it off of italics and then got sloppy so that it would look like cursive to a teacher that refused to accept printed homework. All of my lines start from the top, my descenders and ascenders are huge to compensate for the miniscule x-height, and my "f" is an "l" with a "y"-style loop on it. (The "f" started out as a long "s" with a line through it; the line ended up joining up with the bottom of the "s" and then the curve at the top withered away)

It turns out that it looks reasonably nice in a font[1] (except for my horrible keming) because most of the ugliness came from the characters all being irregular.

> Some other commenters in this thread have pointed out that nobody is forcing open source developers to work on the contributions that they make, and that is strictly speaking true. But in the culture of software development, there does seem to be an ambient message often repeated or hinted at, that it is good to "give back" to open source by contributing and that it is virtuous to do so.

I can’t see anything wrong with that, it’s like people doing favors every day for other people without asking for money

> I now am starting to rethink this sentiment because the vast majority of the benefit of open source contributions on github, be they to languages, runtimes, application frameworks, databases, etc, go towards increasing the bottom line of for-profit companies, not to developers. And the vast majority of the beneficiaries of open source will never support the project even when they are fortune 50 companies saving millions of dollars by using the work of one volunteer.

Yes open-source improve computation as a whole, companies as well as individuals

> There is also the idea that contributing will be great for your career development. I have found that not to be the case at all, I think that no potential or current employer has ever given a rat's ass about open source contributions, and do not consider that work as valuable when making hiring decisions. The work you are paid to do is the only thing anyone cares about. I'm not saying that that shouldn't be the case, but just that that is the case.

Not my experience, have never stumbled upon a recruiter that doesn’t value OS contributions

> Given then, that there's very little upside to doing open source, and most/all the benefits go to profit-making corporations, it is puzzling why do we even push for greater involvement in open source at all? It seems we shouldn't be, we should be warning people who want to contribute to Open Source that they should probably spend their time doing their own studying and personal/skill development which will allow them to succeed in the roles that they have with their current role or a role they'd like to obtain one day, for money.

Since all previous assumptios was wrong, conclusion doesn’t follow. But I agree that people should not do Open Source for money

>1) Nobody can own a gun until they complete 40 hours of training in usage, safe handling, safe storage, tactics and law, and demonstrate proficiency in each area to an impartial test proctor.

40 hours is pretty fucking lot. Are you sure you'd not be okay with like 4 hours lecture and exam based on the lecture and then like 5 two hour training sessions?

>2) Each weapon purchased must include a certificate of insurance that will reimburse $10,000,000 to any innocent individual harmed by that weapon.

Ah, you are not actually honestly in this, you are just trolling.

>3) No restrictions on cosmetic appearance of weapons, as long as personal firearms are incapable of firing more than 10 rounds in 20 seconds.

His sexually-inappropriate behavior towards women has been well-known for years. MIT has chosen to not do anything about it. The truth is that if HR thinks they can sweep something under the table to protect their superstars, they will.

Would a simple solution be to "lie" about the runway direction by a few degrees: instead of runways 10 and 28, bump it up to 11 and 29 (or down if that's a smaller lie).

If you build a chair, you have a single chair.

If you build some software, you can share that an infinite number of times.

That chair has value. Maybe you can sell it, but maybe you just wanted to make a really nice chair.

That software has value. Maybe you can sell it, but maybe you just wanted to make a really nice piece of software. But just because the software is infinitely copy-able doesn't make it worth infinite dollars.

That last point is really the only important one and it makes no difference, to me, as the developer. I just want to make cool software. It just so happens that software is infinitely copy-able and chairs are not. The production side is the same.
