I know that your point might be "there's too much to give up", but I believe OP's point is why can't these people give them up?

Quick google search for NBA stars' pay: https://www.shmoop.com/careers/basketball-player/salary.html

At the top you have folks with $30m in salary and $30m in endorsements. Even if they lose all endorsements (and they won't), there's still $30m in salary left. Average stars make $5m/year for 5 years. That's certainly enough money for a lifetime of pretty good living. These are the folks who can afford to take a stand, is what OP means. In contrast, if the average office worker takes a stand and loses their $60k/year job, life would be really difficult for them.

One question: is the 40 hours of work something that your company would like to use, that may go into production at Automattic? Or is it just some toy project to work on over that time?
Secret Court: FBI and NSA's Massive Warrantless Dragnet Was Illegal
The reason hiring becomes automated is because there is a flood of people who apply to jobs. Here is a rough list:

1. Graduates looking for their first job

2. Unemployed people looking for work

3. Employed people looking for better work

4. Recruiters scouring the web.

5. Automated systems that apply everywhere they can.

6. Spam.

The people from 1-3 are lost in the noise of 4-6. Automation should only try to discard the last 3. That's it!

Automation will save you time and money in the hiring process. You will spend that time and money in HR and employee management, which will end up costing you more. The more you rely on automation, the less you will personally screen people, which means you don't really know who you are hiring.

You are better off using my secret algorithm[1] to select candidates, then personally review their resume.

No, just no. I want Open Source to be a true meritocracy, irrespective of creed, race, identity, country, etc. I think I am not alone in that.

If we start using Open Source as a political weapon, we've let the genii out of their bottles, and can never put them back - we will have forever changed how non-developers use Open Source.

Projects could then start asking things like "Are you pro-life?", "Are you pro-choice", "Do you support impeachment?", "Do you support making America great again?".

Taken to the extreme, projects could become Pro-X and their stance used as campaign advertising fodder (e.g., Apache powers X% of the world's web, and they stand behind candidate Y), users choose a project not because it is the best technically or fits their need the best, but because it supports their favorite cause, or because it echoes their favorite rallying cry of protest.

We would also ensure Open Source will not, can not, be used on government programs. Government programs are not allowed to show favoritism to any vendor or support any political cause or candidate. If a specific Open Source project supports a particular cause or candidate, then choosing to use/contribute to that project could be construed as favoritism, and many program managers will shy away from even the hint of the appearance of favoritism.

Please do not support OSOS, or anything like it. Please do spread this caution far and wide.

> If you park your car on the lower level of the Millennium Lakeside Garage under Maggie Daley Park, you might feel like you've just pulled into a subterranean car dealership.
> Rows of new and used Volkswagens and Hondas—nearly 400 in total—fill a lot of the space. You might spot a worker painting a Jetta with a spray gun. The level above has a more nautical feel, with dozens of empty boat trailers.

With 9,176 spaces, the garages constitute the largest underground parking system in the country. At 3.8 million square feet, it's almost as big as Willis Tower.
> It's actually too big, which is why Rick West, the executive who runs the garages, is exploring creative ways to fill excess space in Lakeside, the easternmost and largest garage, with 3,850 spaces.

Sorry for the confusion. The 30k was just some random amount to make it easy for most people. And did honestly not expect that a lot of people's income would come to 100% from n8n. Thought it would be one of multiple things they do and so 30k seemed like more than enough to cover the majority.
Additionally did I not mean that they can ever make more. I simply wrote that up to that amount they do not even have to say anything. In the next sentence it additionally says:
"If you have bigger things planned simply write an email to license@n8n.io."
And the problem with China is not that it's lacking rule of law, but that the laws are unjust. It is easy to predict what will happen to you if you criticize the government.
I think it’s fine to debate licensing and have a good discussion what constitutes free and open source software.

BUT I’m really shocked by this and other abusive comments that you made here.

I’m using the software and even contributing to it. I’m aware of it’s license and ok with it.

I am also aware that others might have issues with the licensing and might not contribute. Everyone is free to decide - that’s fine!

However, insulting the author and accusing him of deception is just wrong.

The author wants to contribute something to the community and is by no means an expert on licensing. He has clearly explained his rationale / fear and was is very open to feedback.

With your expertise you could have provided constructive feedback and maybe helped to eventually move the project to a better license. You chose otherwise.

Every time it’s sad to see this kind of behavior eventually driving people away from building things and contributing to other projects.

I went to school for statistics, and work in "analytics" (a catch all term for anything from basic reporting to analytics infrastructure to conversion rate optimization experiments).

You're absolutely right in that people tend to take you more seriously if you come with numbers. But it's such a kangaroo court[1] that it drives me nuts. The instrumentation and implementation to support that sort of data-driven approach is usually far too lacking to give it the amount of merit it receives. Once you take do a first principle's sanity check of things, you learn that no one on the business side has a solid understanding of what "response rate" is actually referring to. Then when you look at the technical implementation, you realize that there's little reconciliation between what it's actually representative of and what anyone on the business side think it's representative of.

Never underestimate someone's gut feeling, especially so if it's from an individual in the trenches. More often than not, dissonance between gut feelings and data point to an issue with the data. Not necessarily that the data is wrong, just that it isn't fully representative of the context it's being collected in and should be trusted accordingly.

If I was a Chinese citizen I probably 1. wouldn't be around anymore or 2. not be nearly the same person - I'm quite thankful I grew up in a society that let me read Marx for Beginners[1] at a young age and has allowed me to express myself - I support the HK protestors without any reservations and, even with the oval office being as it is, I think the US's government is far more fair and held to account than China's - still, it is counterproductive to the freedoms of America to constantly exaggerate those freedoms and hold patriotism over honesty. America may be a shining city on a hill but up close it's pretty clear to see the parts that are tarnished - we can work to fix those issues if we accept that they are issues, or we can insist there are no issues and let those hard fought for freedoms get taken away.

Obviously he wants to finish a deal w/ China before the elections so he can use it as an example. Not everything is a conspiracy.

Not to mention he seems to permanently be in a state of political crisis with his adversaries in the US. They've been rattling the impeachment sword since he got in power.

Joining a fast growing org early in your career is a bad idea, doing it as an intern is indispensable.

Also, networking is vital, however mostly to develop a filter for BS and BS slingers (money slingers or "rich" people are deceptively good at BS slinging). I had a friend who would go to meetups and befriend everyone, in my experience this is not really productive and will lead to being taken advantage of.
Oh so that tweet and South Park, Hong Kong and political prisoners in China were orchestrated by the admin?!
Advocating/preparing/performing a coup is punished no matter what system you want to change into. But propagating totalitarian systems is illegal even if you don't want to do it with a coup.

Also we don't do case law here (if I understand what "case law" means).

On related note we've got hilarious court case where neonazis from ONR were explaining to the court they weren't doing "heil hitler" salute to propagate nazism, but to celebrate Roman traditions. SS signs were for reenactment and swastikas as everybody knows are Hindu symbols of good luck.
It's a bad onboarding though, full stop, and not very Apple like. For example, I imagine there could be a way to present the user a screen with all apps, and ask the user on one screen to check/uncheck any that it would like to receive notifications for.

Similarly, for the apps requesting access to various things, if I were Apple, I'd wait a bit and then present the user a list with the apps requesting access, explaining why it's happening, etc.

So two simple screens with clear explanations and helpful advice, versus a million baffling popups.

If the history of credit unions is anything to go by, then due process rules will enshrine the ability of individuals to force the employer to do their due-diligence. But as this is initiated by the individual, only a relatively small number of people will do this.

612 grams of silver is $342 today. Those who have life-savings of $342 in bank or more, get auto-taxed. At this level, we are talking about the un-banked mostly, so they don't have accounts in the first place. In other words, nearly all bank accounts get auto-taxed, so silver price fluctuations do not really affect this.

Second, try to calculate the silver price fluctuations, and calculate the ACTUAL dollar amount that becomes disposable to spend. Its peanuts.

Finally, this category of people do not give charity. They take charity.
Why Every Startup Needs a Mascot
One answer is:

Because lip-service here and now is easy and has almost no consequences.
Great to hear! If you have any problems simply post them in the forum I try to get back to you asap (sorry, will maybe be right ow longer than normal as I have a lot to follow up right now).
Do you think the TPP was a response to this fear? Genuine question here.
I probably stopped trying to understand what it meant at the 3rd-4th paragraph. I feel I wasn't worth an explanation...
Accounts with a bunch of numbers at the end are always a good sign of one-off accounts.
It's much worse than that. The claim is "you criticizing our government is hate speech". That is, they presume to have the right (or perhaps the moral authority) to say what the rules for free speech should be in other countries. I find that rather staggering.
This has already been going on for months, though. It's gotta be front-of-mind over there.

The image of English-speaking westerners talking about "liberate hong kong" is a bit triggering for the average Chinese person, due to Hong Kong and England's history. It must be incredibly easy for CCTV to point at that and say that it's just the western imperialists trying to take HK away.
Again, note the qualifiers: nobody is arguing that faster JSON parsing isn't a good thing, only that anything measured in the millions is probably not considered “small”. A significant amount of code is never profiled since it's fast enough and if someone does find the stdlib json library to be using enough time to care about it is certainly easily replaced.
Having worked remotely for a startup and within a really nice office for a corporate hell hole, I'm now convinced that the best balance for productivity / sanity for me is in-office 4 days a week with a handful of remote days.

When I was fully remote, after a few weeks I joined a really unique co-working space that was really more of a social club (Hall Boston - now defunct for any curious). It was a really special place, but in hindsight I didn't get much work done when I was focusing there. However, gives me hope for a resurgence of community driven social clubs for city dwellers and entrepreneurial types.
I just surprised it wasn't already years ago, given South Park's nothing-is-safe free-pass in The States which we loved.
Apple could have figured out a way to coalesce all the individual pop-ups into a single window. I'm sure they considered it and deemed it not worth the effort since this is a one-time pain... of course it's one-time pain shared by millions of users. :-(
Why do you think the hardware and software versions are getting worse? My late 2017 15 inch rMBP is a lot better than my 2011 MBP. I also like the recent releases of MacOS. Dark mode, stacks on desktop, seeing Meta data in preview, and the new screenshot tool are a few Mojave features I like.

Memory compression in Mavericks was also something I feel is great. Although I never dealt with it directly as a programmer, only a user.
> If we foster hate speech, many people will eventually die.

True, if we collectively foster it. Let's definitely not do that.

> where is that status derived from?

It's just agreed upon, or not. The extent to which free speech is unassailable is the extent to which free speech is unassailable. Every society has restricted it in some way or other; many (even western) societies have restricted it much too far, in my opinion. We can go as far as we choose.

Personally, I wish we wouldn't choose speech policing in the US at this point in time. The implications are far reaching. Policing something doesn't just affect the people who break the law, it affects anybody who could theoretically break it. Mechanisms to monitor and silence speech get another great justification. And the people doing the policing will of course err on the side of caution at times. Look at the recent stack overflow kerfuffle. Since intent is so difficult to judge, there is no way that the only thing hate speech laws are applied to will be speech with hateful intent. Some arguments in support of Israel are considered by some to be hate speech, as supporting the Hong Kong protests is by others. Both of those platforms are deeply offensive to a particular demographic. And the argument that these are just "bad applications" of the law is insufficient, because laws at their very best are applied badly sometimes, and at their worst applied badly _most_ of the time.

Saying that a limitation on this particular right for this particular reason "is actually the solution that maximizes liberalism by limiting genocide," is not a good argument. Genocide has some probability of occurring in a country with the policies in place today, and some other probability of occurring with different policies in place. If we just applied any policy that reduced the probability, there would be no freedoms at all. And even hundreds of examples in history don't work very well as evidence unless you can demonstrate an inverse correlation in history between the degree to which countries restricted hate speech and the extend to which they engaged in genocide, and I wouldn't be surprised if you found exactly the opposite.
There is a difference between the Chinese government and the Chinese people. The parent is (presumably) calling for action against the Chinese government, because what the Chinese government wants is harmful to freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and other basic rights. This is not an attack on the Chinese people.

In general, one has to be careful about conflating the interests of the Chinese government and the Chinese people. They're not the same thing, although the Chinese government tries to portray it as such. Speaking out against the Chinese government is not the same as speaking out against Chinese people.
Maybe we can force companies to divest from Tencent now like we made Grindr divest? Seems like a bad idea to let foreign state-companies own large swaths of your economy.
If you choose to code as a hobby that's fine. Nobody will stop you. The problem is when others say that I should do it. Or worse, when it becomes an expectation to get hired.
That would also imply essentially any kind of public figure who makes a strong political statement would not be allowed to play this game.

It looks to me that it was written with stuff more in line with white supremacy advocation and stuff like that in mind.

It's no skin off my back when someone makes non-OSS/nonfree software. I won't use it, but that's a choice they can make. It doesn't bother me that you or anyone else would want to contribute to such a project, either.

What I won't stand for is lying about that software's status as open source. He may not be an expert on licensing but he's had it explained to him by experts and chooses to continue lying. That's not acceptable behavior.

>Every time it’s sad to see this kind of behavior eventually driving people away from building things and contributing to other projects.

It's even worse to see projects like this misleading contributors into giving to a project which isn't even open source in the first place and asks for more than it gives.
I love dark mode as a user, but as a developer it terrifies me how much complexity is involved in programming in 2019. At a stroke, it doubles the number of possible combinations of:

- 2 device sizes: desktop vs mobile (e.g. responsive)

- 3 platforms: web vs iOS vs Android, or web vs Windows vs macOS vs Linux (not even counting cross-browser or OS version quirks), or god forbid all of the above

- 2 input methods: hover/click/drag vs tap/hold/swipe

- 2 modes for accessibility: full visual+audio vs screenreader/captioned

- And now 2 visual modes: light vs dark

That's 48 combinations to design and test for. I'm probably forgetting some too. But as a developer it makes just the baseline cost of any basic app so damned high.

Again, as a user I love it. But the entrance cost for entrepreneurs, or even hobbyists? Man oh man.
It shouldn't be a mess. We voted for it and it passed. When we voted, there was no stipulation that repayment was necessary. That came after and that bill should have been struck down because that was not the will of the people.
The climate argument is not "weak for electric cars." Electric cars are about a factor of 2.5 better in terms of emissions per mile even with the current US electric grid.

A 35mpg car emits about 250 grams of carbon per mile (a gallon of gasoline emits about 20 pounds of CO2).

US emissions per kWh using the most recent data is about 400-410 grams per kWh. A Model 3 gets about 4.1 miles per kWh. So each mile emits just 100 grams.

And in California (which has the most EVs of any state by far), where the electricity carbon intensity is more like 200 grams per kWh, it's just 50 grams per mile in the Model 3, or about a factor of 5 better than the gasoline car.
