> GitRoyalty looks at a repository's contributions history and determines each contributor's relative work on the project based on various factors. Even if a developer only made a contribution that we've deemed to be worth 0.001% of the total contributions, that user will get 0.001% of all subscription proceeds. Project maintainers cannot control who gets what share, so developers can rest assured knowing that they will get paid what they are owed, no matter how small their contribution.

Seems like a really hard problem to measure contribution automatically. Anyone know how you'd do this?

This is definitely on the roadmap and eventually we'll expand outside of GitHub and allow repos from other hosts like GitLab.

You should always commit your GitRoyalty license keys and share it with your teammates. This way you never have to deal with your package.json/lock files directly, just `npm install` and you're good to go! (This takes care of updating for you as well)

Thank you! I just used bootstrap and made the docs myself.
You're assuming that treating data carefully and complying with the law are the same thing. You can easily do the former and not the latter. More to the point, you can easily have already been treating data carefully and still have the compliance burden of paying lawyers to verify that fact put you out of business.

So what you're really saying is, if a company cannot afford to stay in business while navigating a legal framework designed for companies the size of Google, then perhaps they should not be in business. The result of which would be to have only companies the size of Google.

I don’t think the number of those disrupters is as small as you think it is. It really depends on the school though, for me it was much higher for 7th-10th grade in Vicksburg MS than it was for 11th-12th grade in Bothell WA (a much richer school district).

How does it distribute fairly based on contribution? If you just go off number of lines added/deleted that's going to cause major issues. Maintainers will be less likely to accept PR's as it will dilute their cut. Not to mention, not every contribution is equal in effort. If I submit a bunch of readme changes or add type defs should that count the same building out some new & complex feature?

> they probably can't afford to do it right

Two things occur to me here.

1) it's a cost of doing business. Costs of doing business change over time. Step changes as a result of regulation are typically introduced with windows to allow businesses time to respond. If you can't reasonably cover the cost of the change then...capitalism. You will fail and someone else will succeed. No one is guaranteed a profit.

2) Sounds like a business opportunity? GDPR/Privacy as a Service. e.g. https://privaon.com/ (first search hit).

Only flaw I see with this and stuff like FB saying they "deleted" your account is:

OLE became COM and ActiveX - but the terms are too broad to mean anything. Disregarding the low-level COM infrastructure (the ABI, component-oriented libraries, IUnknown and IDispatch, etc), a reboot of OLE’s concept of human-editable “objects” contained in other applications’ documents simply won’t work for various reasons mostly related to the currently very sad state of GUI programming on Windows: it’s a mess.

OLE worked fine back in the 1990s because there was only really one way to make a GUI: Using a Win32 User32/GDI Device Context to render something while it received window messages representing mouse and keyboard input.

Now in Windows 10, User32/GDI is deprecated and obsolete for high-performance applications (and it’s really slow too after they axed GDI hardware acceleration in Vista), but there isn’t a single replacement, instead there’s like 5 of 6 - all incompatible with each other. While it’s true that it shouldn’t matter because OLE objects were rendered to their own separate hWnd, consider that the new UWP system doesn’t use hWnds, and frameworks like WPF have “air gap” issues with rendering their content overlaying another hWnd and often resort to hacks using window content blitting which drastically hurts performance (as you need to blit to/from RAM, instead of keeping it all in VRAM).

So if this approach is not allowing components to render themselves to a surface then it must be using an some other representation like HTML+CSS or something like WPF’s XAML such as Silverlight - and that has its own set of problems (e.g. any HTML+CSS will be outdated in 5 years, and we all saw what happened to Silverlight.

If this is web-only, then that means this is the beginning of the end for the rich desktop experience for Office - but it’s also irrelevant because we’ve had <iframe> for over 20 years - and the new Web Component system is gaining popularity.
I'll just throw this out here: for IT you almost don't want your in-house trained people to stay very long because it's pretty important less experienced people to get a variety of different experiences. I would say that people who stick to their first job for a decade or so tend to become under performers and I don't think it's generally because they can't find another job. Breadth of experience is really valuable in this field.

I've often thought it would be amazing if you could do the equivalent of professional football (soccer) lending of players. Lend a developer to another company for a few years with the expectation that they will come back. If they decide to stay then the borrowing company give some compensation. But it would mean having very strict contracts that limit the freedom of workers, so it's almost certainly a no go. I wish there was a way to make it work, though...

Same. Well, I've been looking for a replacement rapid UI prototyping tool since I have recently moved away from bootstrap and adopted Bulma. This looks very, very promising!
Don't they use the same MAC for the same network? So when it reconnects to the same network, doesn't it adopt the same MAC as before? Otherwise one could not give a device a static IP in DHCP.

I'm not sure but I think I remember reading this. And it would mean that hotspot tracking (the most prevalent form as far as I've noticed) still works.
It means that unless the trains are moving at 400mph with perfect comfort, free wifi, and a price of $20, nobody cares.

LA to SF is a 1 hour flight as cheap as $50, with the same last-mile effort and total trip time as a train. Airlines are also elastic to meet demand without major capex.

So who's going to spend the 100s of billions to buy the land and build a line for a 2-3x slower travel option that will take a century to be paid back? California is actually trying to do this and has failed miserably because the land and infrastructure costs alone make the project infeasible.
Much of your post is wrong.

Would need to evaluate the one-time charges to determine if they actually would be ongoing. Simply having some one-time charges doesn't mean they will necessarily be perpetual.

In fact, the vast majority of riders have a preferred option even without the frequent rider incentives. This is even starker on the driver side.

The advent of pooling and continuing improvement absolutely have had a significant impact on the economics.

Uber has delivered various efficiency improvements including map-based routing and pricing, pooling. Lyft has "Shared Savers" that trade time/walking for lower fares and more efficient pickups/drop-ffs.

In fact, Uber & Lyft are frequently more expensive than taxis because of surge pricing and superior product.

Uber & Lyft are in the best position to take advantage of robo-drivers.

Not remotely feasible. The overall curvature of the universe is swamped by local inhomogeneities until you get to scales that are much larger than galaxies. So you'd only be measuring the curvature due to nearby matter unless you had proves traveling at relativistic speeds and were willing to wait millions of years.

Ubiquity, for all its faults, is kit I can buy and it works today.

Until you enable hardware acceleration and it corrupts your traffic mysteriously. Or maybe you don't want your network gear to phone home. Maybe you don't want to overheat and kill its internal storage. Maybe you want the PoE to be configured in a way that you're going to fry things accidentally.

I had to look up what the fuck Oceteon even is and it looks like an embedded platform. I can't see any ready-made solution for the things Uni-Fi does, so that means it's roll-your-own. No thanks.

If you don't know what the fuck I'm talking about maybe instead of swearing and whining like a jackass you should look it up.

Edit: If anyone else out there is interested in defending Ubiquiti without knowing anything about their products - Cavium's Oceton is a MIPS64 SoC for network appliances that Ubiquiti uses in their EdgeRouter Lite lineup (and potentially others). It's also found in a variety of hardware from vendors like D-Link and SonicWall. It's a bit power hungry (you can cook an egg on an ERL), but is supported by NetBSD and OpenBSD just fine.

Ubiquiti is like the Mongo of networking appliances. They have a lot of checkboxes on their datasheets, but not all of the features are well developed.

I don’t like webrtc based solutions because the speeds are subpar.

My phone and iPad are on the same WiFi network and both have a link speed of roughly 400mbps.

Using trebleshot(a oss file sharing tool like shareit/midrop) I was able to get 30-40MBps which is pretty insane speed if you ask me.

But sharedrop didnt’t work. It failed with “could not establish direct WiFi connection with peer” error and with snapdrop that someone else suggested I could only get speeds of up to 15mbps(or roughly 2MBps).

I only use trebleshot on android and trebleshot via the web interface to transfer between iOS and android. It’s the fastest tool I have ever used and I strongly recommend it if you are looking for a tool like that.

TLDR being, webrtc based tools for p2p file sharing suck.
I started school in Russia in 80s. Back then there were no magnet schools in my small home town but now I realize that the ministry of education came up with a different solution to a bullying problem: a dedicated school for “special needs” children. I do not remember anyone being sent there for bad marks but repeated behavioral offenses would get you there. All the potential bullies were scared shitless to be sent there. It is one thing to be a bully and the strongest guy in the class and totally different to be in the class full of people exactly like you.
I'd like to commit to a really modest lifestyle, maybe until 2025, and see where I end up.

I'd like to go to bed, calm, not worried about the books I need to be reading or the projects I should be finishing. I'd like to actually be bored, and accept the boredom as a fine thing.

I appreciate it might be hard to do with just static markup, but sometimes when using rapid prototyping tools I want to get back markup I can edit and then it becomes a real project other times I just want to test a lot of different layout ideas and see how they look on the page without wiring up a lot of components first because I can do it at the end when I've settled on the layout.

The other thing that would be quite magical is ability to add your own custom snippets into your library. That'd be just perfect.
Unfortunately terms are a bit overloaded. When some people say algebra they might mean algebra over a field. A field alone adds a lot of structure to your set and is powerful enough to define vectors on. Algebra over a field adds even more.

But that is different from an algebraic structure. An algebraic structure is just some set with some operations and laws. It can be magmas, monoids, groups etc.

And abstract algebra is also a necessary term to differentiate from "ordinary" algebra that is taught in middle schools and high schools, where algebra only means using letters to substitute numbers.

It's unfortunate.

The same goes for any other kind of regulatory compliance.

No small company has to pay lawyers to validate that they are complying with GDPR. It’s just that if it turns out they weren’t, the fines for violations can be quite steep, so a risk-averse company is going to be proactive about it.

There are many types of regulations which are much stricter with more up-front costs than GDPR, which companies of every size manage to cope with (or sometimes don’t, and go out of business). The technology industry has just gotten used to not being held accountable when it harms people, so now that some sensible consumer protection regulation comes down (some) people are freaking out.

I think the tech industry has been infected by a monopoly mindset, that the only way to build a business is to be the only business in that space.

It doesn't help that the most visible "successful" tech companies are all monopolies or duopolies (Google, Facebook, etc.)

But for every category-dominating Microsoft, there are dozens of very successful software companies in every vertical. Dozens of project management software companies, countless task management software companies, etc.
The end results are much, much better than I thought they would be. Luckily, I think it would be easy to fool the training by thinking about a totally different image to the baseline one. Idk if that would stand up to rubber hose cryptanalysis, but there’s got to be a way that can.
