I feel like they're being very honest. If you (or anyone else) feels strongly, you can always fork the code now and develop it. You and I have no right to the _future code_ that Sentry might write and license under different terms.

Once it gets there, it's going to shift to a matter of "how expensive". On paper, it should be possible to get the cost down but that's many billions/trillions worth of investment down the line. Meanwhile the amount of money already planned to be invested in wind and solar is ranging into the trillions for the next few decades; and most of that is with a clear intention to get a decent ROI too.

If fusion becomes commercially viable, it will be well after we've gotten rid of fossil fuels. IMHO this will be somewhere deep into the second half of this century at the earliest. I might live to see that day but it's going to require some medical breakthroughs to increase longevity way beyond the current averages.

Realistically, existing fossil fuel based energy production is already at a cost disadvantage relative to newly built solar/wind + battery. That gap seems to be widening through ongoing innovation and also simply economies of scale. I doubt there will be a lot of fossil fuel based production surviving the next 2-3 decades because of this. At some point it will shift from being uncomfortably expensive to "this is just plain indefensibly/ludicrously more expensive; lets stop doing this yesterday". I mean, why would you pay 10-20x the nominal price of a kwh just to keep some ancient gas plant going.

The only natural brake on decommissioning this stuff is short term supply constraints for batteries, wind turbines, solar panels, and the associated support industry. Yes, it's cheaper but buying enough of it for everyone is just not possible even if you have the cash on hand until production capacity ramps up which may take a decade or two. We're currently deploying many Gwhs but we'll need many Twhs. That's 3 orders of magnitude difference. We'll get there, and when we do, prices will be a fraction of what they are today. But it will take time.

That in a nutshell is also the challenge for fusion. First we'll need to make it work and then we need to make it insanely cheap. Like fractions of a $ct/kwh. That's also the problem for new nuclear/gas plants. It does not make sense to plan based on current energy prices because they are going to drop by orders of magnitudes.
> Would people find it acceptable if you painted for an hour and charged for 15 hours?

It is perfectly common (and reasonable) to be expected to be compensated something for being available outside your normal hours.

E.g. many plumbers will charge you extra (or build into their fees) for a sunday emergency call, why shouldn't a developer ?

If I were in that consultants shoes I probably wouldn't propose 16 hours, but for sure I would bump my hourly rate (say 1.5x) or a min charge of 4 hours or something, if you wanted me available on say an hours notice over the weekend. If you wanted me available at the drop of a hat it would be more.

Scheduling normal work over weekends, etc. is a different issue, but being "on call" should always involve some compensation for the impact on your life.
I have carried a pocket knife (with a lock) every single day of my life since I was 9 years old. I have opened countless boxes, letters, and used it trim hoses, as an impromptu pick, to clean my fingernails, to poke something, to dig, as an aid since I lack long nails to pop watch clasps, and all sorts of other manners as a good all-purpose tool. It has never been used as a weapon, because that is not what a pocket knife is for.

The law you just described is beyond asinine to the point it is unfathomable to me the type of person who would propose such depth of stupidity be enacted as legislation.

The law you just described is literally tyrannical. It is so deeply unreasonable on its face that any right-thinking person should oppose it, and the means to enforce it necessitate the use of the violence of the state. It is fundamentally oppressive.

A knife is a tool, and is an essential tool for all manner of use to enable a person to more effectively live their life and do their work. Restricting it in this manner is a restriction on livelihood and is evil.

people's labor should be well compensated. this is a good move from Sentry, Mongodb and others that will follow. yeah, you've people with freeware or fsf idealism i.e Stallman ideas.That Sentry and the others betrayed their ideas. But simply, FU - let them get paid. Sentry is an amazing product. & the people who work on it should be able to put food on the table & sleep well, without worrying about Amazon n parasites. I think the greatest misconception is between open source and open core. & we should start labeling a bunch of software on Github as such. Now the parasitic cloud providers such as AWS won't profit via someone's work. when they hardly contribute to open core | source

I downloaded a copy of my data from Apple and they store the computer serial number, hostname and ip.

I recently found this (I haven't check the source):

> iOS forces users to “activate” devices (including non-cellular) which sets up a remote UUID-linked (also collecting registration IP) database for a given device with Apple for APNS/iMessage/FaceTime/Siri, and then Apple ID, iCloud etc. Apple ought be open to users about “activation” and allow users to avoid it.

I'd be nervous to work for a company where one of the co-founders isn't a marketer.

Marketing is usually one of the biggest line items for a business.

When your marketing team has little incentive to actually deliver, they're likely to ask for a ton of money only to add impressive things to their resumez, not really to deliver on their promises to the business.

If a founder is in charge of marketing, s/he's got a lot of reasons to deliver: founder's equity.
I've built several object detection systems and you definitely want to fine-tune your model to get good results, even if the object class you want to track is available in a pre-trained model (often it isn't).

For example, pre-trained models don't work too well at detecting people in surveillance footage when the camera is mounted on the ceiling and people are at an angle in the footage. Off-the-shelf object detection models also don't work well in poor lighting conditions but can work well if you fine-tune one of the pre-trained models for your dataset and lighting conditions.

Here's a great and fun tutorial on how to fine-tune an object detection model using TensorFlow (it's a surprisingly fiddly process but worth the headache):
https://towardsdatascience.com/how-to-train-your-own-object-...

I suspect you can use your fine-tuned model with this repo by replacing the `get_ssd_model.sh` compiled graph with your fine-tuned model graph.

It's also a fun exercise to implement the tracking yourself - here's a solid tutorial to get you started:

Amazon, Azure and GCP could burry Sentry as a company with that option. It's actually happened a few times at this point.
It's not that I disagree with you, it's just by your standards, [almost] no one should be in the self-driving car arena.
What does that have to do with an average Joe and his pocket knife?

Please walk me through your logic to believe that restrictions on knife carry are reasonable. I cannot see it, no matter how much I try.
If someone were interested in the link between inequality and inflation a scatter plot would be a perfectly reasonable place to start.

The issue is that the scatter plot shows there are something like 30 countries with an inflation rate of 0-15% and no correlation between inflation+gini/inflation+growth and then 8 countries where there is.
Wow I've been ahead of the curve here!

A _lot_ of US public policy changes and economic structural changes which favour the rich have happened since 1971. The problem with trying to pin everything on inflation is that inflation has been more stable and lower in recent years than much of the Bretton Woods era...
Seems a fair compromise.

Almost all users of Sentry.io benefit from the sort of freedom that FOSS is built on. They can control and modify the source that they are working with - sentry.io doesn't take away their rights.

At the same time, sentry.io does not have to compete against clones which are using sentry's own R&D against them.

I much prefer this over more restrictive alternatives.

New E-Book and E-Audiobook Loan Limits
It seems like Uber put in this "reaction delay" to prevent the cars from driving/maneuvering erratically (think excessive braking and avoidance turning). This, along with allowing the cars to drive on public roads at all before handling obvious concerns like pedestrians outside of crosswalks, is supposed to be balanced out by having a human ready to intervene and handle these situations.

I think one of the biggest lessons here is about the difficulty of relying on humans to maintain attention while covering an autonomous vehicle. Yes, this particular driver was actively negligent by apparently watching videos when they should have been monitoring the road. But even a more earnest driver could easily space out after long hours of uneventful driving with no "events" or inputs. And that could be enough that their delay in taking over could lead to the worst.

Certainly not defending the safety driver here - or Uber. But I think there's a bit of a paradox in that the better an AV system performs, and the more the human driver trusts it, the easier it is for that human to mentally disengage. Even if only subconsciously. This seems like a difficult problem to overcome, especially if AV development is counting on tracking driver interventions to further train the models for new, unexpected, or fringe driving situations.
The only way to gain intuition is to use units straight, without doing mental translation.
This is a very good place to pay attention to the difference between free markets and capitalism though. Compound interest scales exponentially because people can buy stock that gives them a stake in a company's profits in perpetuity, or rental properties that do the same. It's possible to imagine making it illegal to own private property (illegal to own things that are primarily for other people to use), while still having a market system for what's still allowed to be bought and sold (personal property).
Exactly. The central limit theorem wins every time.
Data Portability and Platform Competition
Dumping the entire burden of enforcing community conduct on the nominally democratic-republic municipal government is exactly why those governments exist. That's what they're for. City ordinances can be changed if people don't like them, or struck down by the courts if they are outright illegal.

HOAs are all about making little insular villages with none of the actual infrastructure necessary to support one, such as schools and parks and fire trucks and businesses that generate noise and traffic (and money). That is itself cutting corners to make everything as cheap as possible, and leaving the buyers holding the bag. Do you want to be part of the city that actually provides those things, or do you want to be continually subject to nasty letters for having a dandelion in your yard, just because the home building company stuck that clause in there as a marketing gimmick for the bermudagrass-monoculture lawn snobs?
He never was if you count gas
This makes me wonder how Uber got clearance in the first place. Did a regulatory body, like the NTSB, need to sign off on these self-driving cars before they could be driven on public roadways? If so, how did they miss this during that certification process? Surely emergency situations are at least discussed, tested, and reviewed?
Sure, but you have to consider that the often-touted Nordic countries have a very different demographic composition than the US. Easy example:

Estimates place the illegal immigrant population of the US somewhere in the 25 million range (as a conservative estimate). Assuming half of them are of working age, that is, in rough terms, over 10% of the portion of the US population that is working (about 108 million).

The vast majority of the people who enter the US in this manner do not have college degrees or high-value professions. Which means their earning potential will be severely reduced.

Take 10% of the workforce in any Nordic country, replace it with people who are educationally challenged and the numbers will look very different.

Please note: I am NOT, by any stretch of the imagination, arguing that we should not try to do better. However, certain things are simply inescapable realities that simply take tons of time and effort to improve. Not to go too far, the US is famous for spending more money per student than, dare I say, most nations in the world, and yet our educational results in mathematics, language and other areas don't rank very well at all when compared to nations with much less to spend.

Inequality at work. Money isn't the only variable.

Perhaps that's the real thing that bothers me about these discussions about inequality. These are complex multivariate problems and these discussions make it sound like the only variable worth considering is how much money the top 1% have. It isn't. In fact, I would venture to guess that this factor or variable might not even make the list of the top 100 factors if we were to make such a list from a framework of being brutally honest rather than political.

Simple example of this: Brutal dictatorial regimes hold back their population, cause misery, suffering and inequality. That's a big one. Places like Latin America, North Korea, the Middle East and a good deal of Africa are afflicted by this. Do we, the "civilized world" in the name of creating equal opportunity and access to better outcomes, invade all of these countries, depose all tyrants and institute one hundred years of external benevolent control?

This is crazy, of course, but it is also reality. As a single example, I researched the Paris Accord in great detail and learned that dictators were enriching themselves, their families and associates with the money put into the system by the US and Europe. Money that was supposed to be devoted towards these nations becoming "greener" ended-up buying the ruling class new jets, cars and other "energy efficient" luxuries. So, yeah, the "do we invade and rule" scenario isn't too far fetched if we truly care about creating equality of opportunity and elevating millions out of truly deplorable conditions.

Not an easy problem. Not a single variable problem. And the "richest 1%" thing is a complete red herring.
I think the link points to a photo in the article right now. This is the correct link: https://venturebeat.com/2019/11/06/github-over-80-of-reposit...

Also, looking at the original report, the headline is not true. 80% of users are from outside the US, not 80% of contributions.

https://github.blog/2019-11-06-the-state-of-the-octoverse-20...

From the graph here (https://octoverse.github.com/), it looks like there were ~2.5M open source contributions, with just under 1M from the US, so over 60% of open source contributions come from outside the US.

A divorce settlement could also be called "fulfilling agreed financial obligations", but it certainly doesn't make it any easier to swallow.

I believe it'll mostly be investment into projects we'll never see the fruits of, I hardly believe they'll say "well, seeming as you invested into this, it's only fair you eat from the tree".
> Sentry is no longer Open Source at all

I just want to clarify that in addition to BSL converting into an Open Source license after the conversion date, we also did not BSL license everything. Client libraries are completely unaffected and so is a lot that is going on behind the scenes. We're firmly committed to being good Open Source citizens. For instance a lot of the work that is going on behind the scenes is separated into independent reusable libraries that retain their original licenses.
Measuring the effects of marketing started a bit earlier than Google: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_Advertising
Wrong. They call it an "OSS" license:

"This scenario assumes that ITER will deliver on the promise of tokamak-based fusion. That isn’t guaranteed. Magnetic confinement fusion remains a scientific research problem rather than an engineering problem, and the engineering issues have barely been touched."

Quoted from the first link on your PROTO wikipedia page:

> You’ll have to summarize any key points from the book, since I don’t own a copy.

The first few chapters of Rethinking the Economics of Land and Housing describe the distinction between competitive capital (whose price signals the economy to create more) and land (which cannot be created) and thus why they should be taxed differently. I think it is mostly based on this essay by Mason Gaffney: “Neo-classical Economics as a Stratagem against Henry George” (http://masongaffney.org/publications/K1Neo-classical_Stratag...)

> You say that property tax is a tool to reduce inequality, but I’m not 100% sure about that. For example, I don’t even know where my property taxes go

Broadly speaking, progressive taxation is all about taxing any income that is above and beyond what the average wage-earner earns from wages and competitive capital, and using it to fund services that are used by everybody. Virtually everyone has their own labor, whereas income from ownership of natural resources and monopolies is concentrated, so taxation of income above and beyond wages and interest reduces inequality.

Increases in land rent are unearned income that are not due to the owner’s wages and do not incentivize the creation of capital, so it is fair game to tax it as part of a progressive income tax system. If we don’t tax it using property taxes, then land value increases only become a windfall to the owner, leading to greater wealth inequality.

But it doesn't necessarily have to be a fork. It can be the raw unadulterated software that Amazon wraps a service layer around and then who would trust the a small player against one of the largest companies in the world?

If Amazon needs to make changes and opem source it, they can and without risk to their market because its value is in scale, balance sheet protection, name recognition for management buy in, and the integration on their AWS platform.
It does not offer essential freedoms as defined in the Open Source Definition. This includes the ability to fork the software, make alterations, and sell use the result however one wants to (within the rights of the open source license), including selling it or creating a commercial service based on it. This license restricts the ability of the community to collaborate on the software by placing the community at a lower status than a single commercial sponsor.
JTBD is super overhyped (which is not to say bad). It is a clear, simple concept - understand your role in your customers' lives by understanding what could replace you.

It frustrates the bejesus out of me that every halfway thoughtful concept needs to be bundled into a framework and sold.

The concept of selling to people isn't hard - execution is hard and people use frameworks as a differentiator to sell their 'services'
