Godwin's law or actually so?

I remember when trump was running the first time, many respected users of hacker news advocated for the suspension of Godwin's law because "this time he's actually a nazi"

Figuratively Vs literally goes out the window if emotions run high.

It's ironic because that is "literally" what Godwin's law is about.

Is your prof’s drug ready for sale? If not, I don’t understand what you mean by “bypass development”.

The most expensive and most risky part of drug development is getting a promising drug candidate all the way to market. 99% of those fail, yet can cost hundreds of millions.

And not sure what country you’re in, but if it’s the US, your prof would likely stand to make a ton of money if the drug is successful. The company doesn’t get it for free, they buy it from the patent owners.

>I've been seeing a significant rise in the usage of gold/silver/platinum lately, used heavily for banter on r/soccer (and for rewarding quality content as well.)

Same, but it's because they changed the way gold works. If you have a subscription, for stuff like removing ads and what not, you get coins every month which then allows me to give out several silvers every month or let them pile up to give out a week of gold here and there. I doubt there has been a significant rise in people paying and is likely largely the new coin system.

You are correct. The original drug will be a generic - cheap and ubiquitous.

The only way “making small tweaks” works to extend a patent is if you can convince doctors and insurers it’s worth it.

What's funny is actually that "chrome" option was just a stand in for "browser". I was also in Firefox and I clicked "continue in chrome" and the notification just went away. IIRC Reddit was first site to do this.
Fair. But on the flipside, what could we say to those families, those many millions, whose jobs and local economies get destroyed as multinational chains open shop and start arbitraging labor costs? What to say about rapid decline in quality of every good on the market, and the inability to even find a quality good if you have money? There were trust relationships that sort-of regulated this, but now I can't even find a decent furniture source, as both low and high-end brands ultimately have the same cheapest garbage parts somewhere in their supply chain. Consumer laws fix the worst problems here, but it's not perfect.

I'm not saying we should revert globalization; I'm right now only trying to learn about the good and bad sides, their relative balance, to figure out whether and where something needs to be done to achieve a better outcome for everyone. Because I get this growing feeling that screwing up local communities in exchange for freer money flow isn't turning as good a deal as advertised.

Your initial paragraphs talk about freedom, and I appreciate this view coming from a principle. Though looking at the world as it is today, couldn't you say that this focus on individual freedom, scaled up, actually ends up taking freedom from individuals away? How come when talking about freedom we focus on freedom to choose, but ignore the increasing constraints, the disappearance of options to choose from?

Money may still be made from it, but that doesn't mean they were originally created with the idea that today they'd be making money this way. Most of the money is generally made within the first couple of years after release.

My preference for copyright would be 30 years or until death of the author, whichever is longer. If there's no living author or the rights have been transferred, then it's simply 30 years. This gives plenty of time to make money from it, it means the author never loses control over their own thing during their lifetime, and their family can benefit from it if the author dies shortly after publication.

More than this is just corporations milking creations from the past.
That feels harsh, but honestly, I think it doesn't make sense for him to have control of master. Let him make branches and do PRs like everyone else. Obviously we know that when he's in the right frame of mind he's a good coder, but when he's not he can easily break master for a hugely popular piece of infrastructure. It doesn't play to his strengths to make him the controller of master.
This is accurate. I should have possibly mentioned in more detail that at the time I had a lot of experience with prior apps, so whipping another one together—particularly for such a simple concept—is trivial.

I’m surprised anyone here thinks something like Snaplight would take more than an hour to build (no repos, testing on device but otherwise no tests, simple permissions, uncomplicated UI that only improved post-launch, etc.).
Don’t have those apps on your mobile devices and block them with your hostfile on desktop. If I really want to check something I have to modify the hostfile and I always put the site back in when I’m done.

But each person responds differently to these types of measures. You’ll probably find a few recommendations here so try all of them and see which is the most effective for you.

One approach is proactive and the other reactive. Unless, one checks the release notes every 4 weeks... I would argue the utilitarian approach is exactly the other way. Verify and test if there is an API break with a major version change. Whether the browser is 2 years or 10 years old shouldn't make a difference.
That's what I am saying.

Don't choose things that can't be tracked quantitatively. Track things quantitatively and then make qualitative decisions.

At Square, we had "Make Commerce Easy". This was qualitative and thus up for interpretation. It became even vaguer when it became "Economic empowerment".

These things can't and shouldn't be tracked as if they are quantitative metrics but instead used as guiding stars.

So the trick is just to separate the two and as I said. Use data metrics for optimizing and not for creating or measuring of qualitative goals.
> 5. Torrents are more convenient.

Right but then you don't fall within the 90% that OP estimates would have bought the product. In OP's points, you either would buy it if you could (1, 2), or are planning to buy after limited evaluation (3). Item 4 is a bit of an odd one (though it applies to me: I only pay for Audible $10/month because you can still do .aa exports and turn them into mp3s and play anywhere, any time; otherwise I'd pirate the books or find a competitor), but your 5th is squarely a lost sale.

The text below your point doesn't really match your point, that sounds more like can't afford or just doesn't want to pay. Leaving in the middle whether it's reasonable to have to go to five "stores" to get everything you want, you either can afford it and are the (proposed) 10% or it falls under item 2.
I fell for the propaganda a few years ago and opted not to go to school on the basis of "too much theory" "side projects" etc. and am just now starting to believe that it was the biggest mistake of my career.

What Next for WeWork? How Adam Neumann Can Fix His Bungled IPO
I got one of these mails when my vpn dropped for something like 6 seconds (they even send your the timestamps). I wouldn't be surprised if they are seeding their own copyrighted work to figure out who's uploading. Once they get the IPs they simply have to ask the ISP for the name/address of the IP owner at that time.

Anyway, however they are doing it they seem to be very good at it.

CETA and ISDS: The Byzantinization of the EU
I see your point now, thanks for the clarification.
Specifically to allow easier changes: abstraction, encapsulation and separation of concerns.

An example would be if you have a module that calls a REST API to get/put something (say time sheets for your invoicing app), then have that be its own module that is testable.

Create internal TimeSheet data structures that you pass to/from that module. The core functionality of your app should be implemented using the TimeSheet data structures and you can have tests that use those and then separate tests around calling an API.

New customer comes along and says they want to send you CSV files via SFTP (yuck, but they got money). You just have to write a new interface that works with exchanging those files and gets them into your TimeSheet data structures, the core of your app should remain unchanged.
Sumner agrees with your sarcasm, so not sure who you're arguing with ...

What he's pointing out is there's a human-driven force to economics so it's not accurate to compare it to a (theoretically) closed system like physics.

How to add an optimization for C# to RyuJIT
FWIW, I find that form quite useful for defining short aliases, e.g.

But the market could be a lot freer than it is now, most issues with USA's healthcare would disappear if it was easy to open up a cheap hospital using doctors educated in Mexico in order to serve people who currently can't afford healthcare. Then suddenly the established doctors and hospitals would be forced to motivate their much higher costs, creating competition which is good for the system. Some rich people will probably choose the more expensive option still, but most poor and middle class people are probably fine with foreign level doctors.

I am fairly supportive of IP law in general, but I don’t believe that the creators of Friends would have passed on making on the series if they were only going to able to monetize for 20 years.

20 years out at only a 5% discount rate pa is a 65% discount. At a more reasonable 15% discount rate for a proven show, you’re left with under 4% 20 years out. For an unproven pilot, you probably handicap that significantly more.
I always felt that phrase was an ugly affirmation of the phenomenon and consequences of "white flight" [1]. Almost like the meaning conveyed is "there only are white men in suburbia, duh".

In my experience in Silicon Valley it’s more like drive the Ferrari on weekends. One weekend a coworker at Sun invited me to come up to sears point raceway and drive my rx7 on the track.

I showed up and there were a handful of people, turns out the coworker had rented the whole track (and skid pad) for the weekend for “trying out” different driving moves. I expect it cost them less than $100,000 for the weekend.

But the engineer in question here probably had a net worth of more than $50M and yet they came into work every day and built cool stuff.

Now the Sun case was more “typical” of the valley at the time where a company goes public and now there are lots of millionaires in the ranks. Same thing at Google when they went public, and Facebook. In my experience it is the unusual case that the newly wealthy person quits work and pursues a life of idle hedonism.

Not saying that it doesn’t happen, just saying that there is an alternative response to being wealthy.
Just because you seem to be unfamiliar with bash doesn’t mean it’s unreadable. Almost any language will look cryptic if you don’t know it.

Isn’t ACH slow though? I have personally used ACH to transfer between personal bank accounts and it usually takes 2-3 days for each transaction to complete.

Also a 1% transaction fee for something that takes 2-3 days to process seems very high. Companies already have a business checking account, why can’t I use that account to process the ACH transactions?

If US banks got their head out of their ass they could leverage their existing ACH infrastructure and include it as a low cost way to process transactions (static fee of a few cents).

I just looked at the lifetime stats for the app and in total it only ever generated ~$4,000 in profit.

I would often change the price to 1. See if I could squeeze a few more dollars out of the work and 2. Generate more downloads.

A fun "trick" for getting more downloads is to temporarily make a paid app free, as many, many people follow "Apps Gone Free" type of bots or directories and if your app has any substantial numbers behind it more people tend to notice when it switches to free.
> The real advantage it has is simply that it’s there, always.

Yes, this is a huge deal in a good way. It's also why standalone zero dependency Python scripts are so successful since most systems have Python installed by default.

Although after reading your first sentence, I got excited. I thought you were going to write about how it's always there in the sense that if you're working in the terminal, Bash and friends are always right there at your finger tips. There's no context switch to get something done, which is super empowering for hacking together things to solve a problem. It just feels like the whole terminal environment in general was made to let tinkerers create the best possible system / workflows for them personally.
Do they have superior perspectives? No, but they have different perspectives.

Additionally minority groups tend to be aware of majority problems, points of views, etc; while the inverse is generally not true.

That is to say a black man generally knows the struggles of a white man, but a white man is often ignorant of a black mans.

This is because society caters to the majority, so most news, media, etc is from the perspective of the majority. LGBT folk have a pretty good understanding of what dating is like for cishet people because their friends tell them, tv tells them, the news tells them. Meanwhile most cishet folk are unaware of the unique issues of dating in the LGBT community.

You aren't clear in what things you claim the "far right" is advocating but I'm guessing it isn't the things that I think the right is advocating like:

* individual rights
* equality for women
* limited government (especially at the national level)
* free market economics
* personal responsibility
* separation of church and state

You are probably right that there are some things that are more American than European (expansive free speech rights, gun ownership), but I was trying to keep things simple by saying "western civ". The right wants to welcome people who support these ideas and shun people who don't support these ideas.

As for multiculturalism, your comments suggest that your use of that term is not the same as mine. Multiculturalism from the left is not about assimilating people from disparate cultures but instead is about insisting that the ideas I listed above aren't to be valued and instead all cultures and ideologies are to be accepted as is, leading to balkanization, discord, and the devaluation of the ideas that have made the "West" and America successful.
