Apple also dropped it because they couldn't come together on price, partly because BeOS was in a fairly unfinished state:

> Apple's due diligence placed the value of Be at about $50 million and in early November it responded with a cash bid "well south of $100 million," according to Gassée. Be felt that Apple desperately needed its technology and Gassée's expertise. Apple noted that only $20 million had been invested in Be so far, and its offer represented a windfall, especially in light of the fact that the BeOS still needed three years of additional expensive development before it could ship (it didn't have any printer drivers, didn't support file sharing, wasn't available in languages other than English, and didn't run existing Mac applications). Direct talks between Amelio and Gassée broke down over price just after the Fall Comdex trade show, when Apple offered $125 million. Be's investors were said to be holding out for no less than $200 million, a figure Amelio considered "outrageous."

> ...With Be playing hard to get, Apple decided to play hardball and began investigating other options.

Glad you could find a place to shove in a plug for a piece of software that, if we're being frank, doesn't seem like the sort of thing I'd recommend to any user of a cloud environment. GUIs are failure modes for cloud operations. Using APIs first and last is the only way I've found to build a successful cloud team at any scale.

(And I have even less use for highly bloggable serverless stuff than I do baseline-working tools and systems. A "Dynamo tester" is less valuable in aggregate than, say, something that made Cloudmapper easier to deploy.)
To add to this, I really want to know why they felt they need to do this? My guess is someone was abusing the existing system and they needed to set tighter controls?

How do you define "the same" for two photons?
This seems like a problem that would be suited for an optimizing compiler.

You could imagine some hypothetical language in which all objects are immutable, as far as the programmer is concerned - however the compiler is allowed to reuse objects behind the scenes if there is provably no way that a side-effect could be introduced.

E.g., in such a language, the first variant would be the only legal form to write the normalizing function:

low = array1.min()
high = array1.max()
array2 = array1 - low
array3 = array2 / (high - low)
return array3

However, this could be safely turned into the following during compilation:

low = array1.min()
high = array1.max()
array2 = array1 - low
array2 /= (high - low)
return array2

... because array2 is not visible outside the function and therefore could not cause side-effects.

The customers are being stupid and rude: assigning blame, asking redundant questions, making threats. Nothing in any of the twitter threads I've seen has any potential to solve any problems, they're yelling thinly veiled abuse at support.

The industry standard is sucking up to them and groveling, and it's led to customers being very badly behaved.

The trouble is no one has a good working alternative to the industry standard.

Gandi certainly doesn't, they're not responding in a well thought out manner, they're losing their cool and getting angry with their customers. That's a quick way to go out of business.

Concentration of measure. If you have a quantity that depends on a large number of random variables but not too strongly on any small subset of them, it tends to behave like a constant. That's the intuition behind the law of large numbers, the central limit theorem, a bunch of concentration inequalities, and model averaging.
This is mostly the goal of MongoDB's license, the Service-Side Public License:

A possible explanation is the lawyers share the same office as the graphics designers or cartographers (if you can call them that) who make the maps.

I could see (and have seen) some people’s response to identical works, especially one produced by the public that could even be better, as negative. Put simply, they want to maintain control over what they see as “theirs”. This happens internally in companies all the time. I’m sure it was just a matter of this designer CC’ing legal when they came across it. They probably made some bullshit case about maintaining control, liability, prior art, etc.

When I was at LinkedIn, it was common for 3rd party designers to redesign the UI of the site and post on their blog. This made a lot of designers who actually worked there angry. I noticed the better the design, the more upset they got. They largely ignored the ones that weren’t that good. They would push to have legal step in and thankfully we had management who could see reason and reel in cry-baby designers.

Anyway, this may not be what actually happened but I think it’s a high possibility. People are incredibly petty.

If you need an employee to produce a continuous task log, they aren't producing value, and as a manager, you don't understand your business well enough anyway. You may benefit from doing some personal work on yourself as well.

The value in a relationship seems proportional to the smallest increment of time someone in it is accountable for. If someone asks you what you have done for them an hour ago, vs. this morning, vs. yesterday, vs. last week, vs. quarterly, vs. how's it all going and what they can do for you - this is a good measure of whether it's something worth keeping.

No trust means no value. Those employees should find somewhere else to work.

I'm sorry, but I don't get it. I mean, if what you want is an accurate color reconstruction, for scientific purpose, then yes, you probably need depth information. If what you want is simply to colorise an image inferring the correct colors from a mix of residual color, blue shift, and a general knowledge about the object itself (the color of a seaweed, a starfish, etc.) then you can probably do it pretty well from a single image. There are neural networks that can colorise a b&w picture with zero color data available(1), and in this case you just want to enhance existing colors, so it should be much easier. Of course you'll get a representation with no claim of accuracy, but it should be fine for many purposes.

I'm with you 100%. I lived in SF from 1998-2006, then again for a few years in the 2010's, and when rental prices are high landlords seem to prefer holding out rather than lowering their rates. I assume this is to avoid locking a potentially valuable rental unit into a low, rent-controlled lease. (On a side note, this is why many economists believe rent control is bad overall for rental markets: http://freakonomics.com/podcast/rent-control/)

> build more housing and put them in it

This is exactly what they want. Their contention is that SB50 doesn't place enough emphasis on affordability, so developers will mostly build market-rate housing. If you build enough market rate housing, the prices do eventually come down, but that takes a while to happen. During that time, a lot of people can lose their homes, especially since lower-income areas can be the most profitable ones to build new housing in. So the people who need it most never end up seeing the benefits of lower prices from market-rate housing, because they get kicked out of the city before those benefits kick in.
Much easier to hide things in plain sight than say a big box that says "Classified" or "Government Only"
The question seems somewhat biased, why is copyright assumed to be strictly beneficial? Of course it has benefits, but surely it can't have only benefits. Isn't a more honest question to ask: "What is the impact of copyright on society"?
Not surprising; the Fed is intent on ever-inflating the housing asset bubble.

Surely a management company would happily handle all that hassle and provide a secondary income stream.

Sounds like an opportunity here! The Chinese market for "stores of value" is quite high! There are tons of largely empty high-rise condos in China for this very reason. What about a company that has the connections and know-how to smooth over the transactions, then puts management into place to get AirBNB/rental income?
fwiw I find myself very torn to be rationalizing death when my mom just went into paliative care last week. I'm literally typing this as I should be walking out the door to the hospital. I suppose I'd like to push the button that let me mom live 200 years, but i also fear for that button ever existing. I don't think I could NOT push it.

I promise I'm not callous. I'm maybe suspicious of the west's cult of the individual. I feel like sometimes we as individuals can't have what we want for ourselves, if we want the bigger ongoing project to succeed. Things are already so complicated, not least due to accumulation of generational wealth and inaction of the older generation. I worry the "curing" death will doom us all, and collapse this whole beautiful mess in on itself :/ Curing death sounds great when young startup folks are pushing it, but we all age out, we all get stuck inside the minds that grew up in old worlds.

anyhow, much love to you and yours. truly

I work on a paid Chrome extension that tests if your website follows SEO, speed and security best practices:

https://www.checkbot.io/

I considered making it open source but couldn't see a way I could monetise it if I tried to charge for it mainly because someone could just upload a free version to the Chrome Web Store. Open sourcing a project also opens you up to taking on a lot more responsibilities as well (e.g. reviewing pull requests, on-boarding new developers, maintaining code standards) and you risk losing control of your own project if you're not careful. Helping users with support requests is already enough work when you're a solo developer too.

Generally, I guess you have to weigh up:

1) time investment from open sourcing and maintaining a community vs

2) benefits you'll get from having open source contributors vs

3) increased competition from the open source version

With some app ideas, it's very hard to reduce the impact of factor 3 which is a shame.
You’d have to ask them.
What about this piece is light on facts? I’ve read it and it seems pretty well substantiated.

The question this piece is focusing on isn’t whether this behavior is legal or not. The question is whether or not it’s the right way to treat their people.

Keep in mind that Facebook earns its living by harvesting data on users, mining it, and selling ads on it.

Now they’ve demonstrated a willingness to demand to know every little detail about a worker’s day, presumably under the guise of productivity.

People love to talk about surveillance capitalism and it’s similarly to “1984” (which I don’t necessarily disagree with), but here’s a perfect example of an authority demanding to know everything about you throughout the course of a day. Sure, they’re not a government, but given their size and power, they might as well be for the sake of this argument.
In terms of MTA motivation, aren't they just trying to protect it as an asset to limit its usage and thereby increase its potential value so that they can best monetize it? In this day and age where some spend their days trying to dissemble and neuter government traditional means of raising revenue, I don't necessarily find the approach problematic (putting aside the particulars of this specific case).

Definitely true.

People also seem to forget the Red River basin (e.g., North Dakota, Minnesota, Manitoba) that flows north to Hudson Bay was a massive lake about 10,000 years ago called Lake Agassiz. So its periodic flood pattern is expected. The topography today is a flat flood plain. Because of the lake bottom history, the soil is extremely fertile. But the cities Fargo, Grand Forks, and Winnipeg are not well placed to avoid flooding. Floods happened in the early 1800s before the arrival of settlements, wetland draining, plowing, etc.

I would agree, but only if the copyright holder is an active participant in making their standards legally binding, otherwise some city council somewhere is just unilaterally eliminating their copyright, which they have no right to do IMO. I mean if the standards bodies are pushing for their standards to become laws because that's an amazing business model, then I agree they should be waiving license fees as part of that push, but the buck stops with the government on that IMO. It shouldn't just be assumed or permitted. Don't have time to go dig myself right now to see if that's what's happening.

Agree on most points here, but the article I think does some damage to any claim to "clean room" approach. He saw the one map and thought he could improve it. The map is all there is, there isn't a secret underlying implementation that can be ignored to accomplish similar goals and dutifully respect IP right be not de-compiling or otherwise reverse engineering. Copyright law definitely is a complicated topic, and I don't think there is a brightline I can point to, but being derived from something else I certain instances is a copyright violation. For written works, using the likeness of copyrighted characters in totally different storylines and universes is a violation of copyright.
