While PGs essay talks about maker's and manager's schedule (emphasis), I find it being mis-framed here.

PG doesn't assign PM to manager's schedule.
You can see engineers themselves running in buckets of maker's and manager's schedules.

Mindset of PMs being "managers", who must "lead" and unblock engineers & designers is deeply flawed and creates silos, turfs and dysfunction.
Reality is that the notion of product is continuum between engineering and product management functions. One hardly need to manage other. One definitively need to partner with other.

> For the former, no, it relies almost entirely on economic coercion by denying practical freedom of choice for most of the population to serve the ends for which it was pursued by the class that relentlessly advanced it, and the form of commodified chattel slavery which with it replaced the patriarchal slavery of the feudal era fits well within that.

Nearly every single modern first world country, from Canada to Singapore to New Zealand to Switzerland to Sweden...all operate on capitalist systems where the majority of industries are privately owned, and operate for profit. They also happen to have robust safety nets where the exact sort of economic coercion is difficult to carry out. To argue that slavery is somehow inextricably linked to the dominant economic system of these countries is plainly absurd, in the same way that it's plainly absurd to claim that slavery is inextricably linked to communism/Marxism just by virtue of the practical manifestation of it we've seen in the 20th century, and not the theoretical ideal as posed by Marx. The whole point here is that slavery is orthogonal to the economic system, not an underlying prerequisite for it.

> in a perpetual game of "No True Scotsman"

> For the latter, sure, slavery is incompatible with that rationalization. But so is literally everything because the ideal is incoherent.

You either need to compare the platonic ideal of communism to the platonic ideal of capitalism, or stick with comparing the empirical outcomes of capitalism as it has been tried all over the developed world today with communism as it has been tried in the real world. You appear to be trying to compare the platonic ideal of communism with the empirical manifestation of capitalism, and then balk when I counter with my own platonic ideal. Compare apples to apples.

I got an answer from an expert. I asked:

1. How might one use nanopublications to document an assertion on a webpage?

2. Are these meant to be parsed by human readers? Who are these for and what are people supposed to do with them?

The answer:

(1) there's no real difference in a nanopub that originates in a webpage or elsewhere. I think the best to do here is to document the origin of assertions in the provenance graph (through e.g. prov:wasDerivedFrom or prov:used predicates that have URL/webpage entities has objects).

(2) That's a very open question, but I'd say they're mostly for machine use; you can get a nice overview at https://arxiv.org/pdf/1809.06532.pdf
Sparkfun has a nice collection of Engineering Essentials tutorials: https://www.sparkfun.com/engineering_essentials

They explain the fundamental topics of electrical engineering like electricity, circuits, components, communication protocols, signalling and so on in a fun and engagning way. They also sell all of these components with helpful hookup guides. So think of a system you want to make (e.g. conveyor belt), order the components and start building it :)

Once you're comforable these fundamentals you might want to look into the design of control/embedded systems. There are quite a few books on these which you could search online for.

Obviously, manufacturing lines today are built with more robust and established components but the above would probably be a good entry point to help you start understanding how these things work.

Professor Iwasaki (the author of the study) has been a great resource on Twitter for the latest news on COVID-19: https://twitter.com/VirusesImmunity/

I have Twitter set to notify me when Iwasaki tweets, the only such notification I have set. I highly recommend following if you have a Twitter account.
We get the news that sells. Otherwise, everyone should have their own staff of investiative reporters. It is simply cause-and-effect from the established conditions.

What this shows is that "cancel culture" is utterly toxic, and cuts both ways. You don't get to dehumanize people without reprecussions to your own status anymore. News media should reflect on their role and function in society once more too, as the focus on "dirt" just ends us all up in the same swamp inevitably.

The simple truth is, according to ethnicity and color of skin, the availability of opportunities are vastly different. That is institutional and cultural, that is now being adressed. One can choose to shut their eyes, ears and mind, or reach out a hand and try to understand the underlying issues and how other people think and feel about it below the hurt.

Glide (YC W19) is hiring a product designer and two engineers
Glide's (glideapps.com) mission is to create a billion new software developers by 2030. We started by making it easy & fun for anyone to create mobile apps from Google Sheets, but our ambition is to radically improve how software is designed & developed in general, so that anyone can create software to improve their community, their business, or their life.

Since launching Glide during YC a little over a year ago, over 100,000 entrepreneurs, students, workers, business owners, and everyday people have created apps with Glide.

We're looking for our third designer—a product designer who has worked on technical products—to help us turn the complexity of software design & development into a simple, intuitive, and powerful interface that anyone can use. [Learn more](https://www.glideapps.com/jobs/senior-product-designer-san-f...).

We now run a considerable amount of global infrastructure and are looking for an ops engineer to tame this complexity and improve our velocity and service reliability. [Learn more](https://www.glideapps.com/jobs/senior-ops-engineer-remote).

Finally, we're looking for another software engineer to work on the Glide platform & product. Come help us make software development simple but not simplistic, easy but not boring, and fun but powerful! [Learn more](https://www.glideapps.com/jobs/senior-software-engineer-san-...).
>"I don't really understand your take-away except for a cynical "bah, nothing ever works so don't try." Or maybe it annoys you that you didn't see some trite platitudinal disclaimer in my post about how how life is all about trade-offs and what works for Bob might work for Alice."

The take away is clearly "things that work in the small often don't work in the large. If you're taking life advice, take it from someone who has done something for a while and had a reasonable experience.".

Someone crowing about their two day experience is...well...

This applies to all sorts of similar enthusiastic advice. Intermittent napping. Standing desks. The Dvorak keyboard. Drinking your coffee with butter. New diets. Going without the internet. Meditating. Taking up karate. Working in parks. Whatever. There's a lot of wisdom and knowledge among them, but it isn't coming from the guy who just started.

If someone is giving a sales pitch for a lifestyle change based upon a tiny experience, they are often doing it because they think converting others makes it more real/more likely to yield the change they want. It doesn't work that way.

Try things. Try lots of things. Save evangelizing until you maybe have a real experience?
> That both slavery and Colonialism flourished under such an incentive structure should not be a surprise.

But that's factually untrue, slavery held back the accumulation of capital. American agriculture became MORE profitable after slavery was abolished. Once the actual cost of manufacturing had to be factored in, planters were forced to find more productive crops to grow. That process led to:

1. the decimation of the economy of the South, where slavery was rampant. The South had to quickly learn to industrialize to keep up

2. the steep increase in market capitalization of agricultural businesses once capital was forced to be more efficiently allocated, resulting in the agrarian revolution of the Great Plains, which remains one of America's dominant agriculture centers

Slavery quite literally does not allow the incentive structure, by your own words, to flourish.

In my previous job, I implemented the backend integration with Stripe and also the frontend for iOS (Native Swift App). It was a piece of cake to get the whole implementation done across the stack.
Six months later, our company decided to switch to Adyen so we could target more local payment methods in different countries. Back then, Stripe wasn't so flexible on that. With Adyen, we could for example offer "carte bancaire" in France and "iDEAL" in the Netherlands with zero changes on our accounting and backend infrastructure.
I have to be honest, from the developer perspective, Stripe is light years ahead of Adyen regarding docs and simple to integrate (simple != easy).
But once we deployed Adyen, our sales skyrocketed after we enabled local payment methods for specific countries across Europe.

If you are outside of the US, you should really consider Adyen instead of Stripe from the business standpoint.
I am still a super fan of Stripe btw.

Ah, so worthless cynicism and condescension after all. I see why you made a novelty account for this. But I wonder if you see the irony in promoting yourself into this role of inquisitor?

I get it, you're mad that I admitted I only have two days of experience while telling people how to get started in one of the most important software platforms in the world (it's how Wikipedia works) -- I'm not exactly making new sounds on this. Maybe you're fine with my install instructions, but I went too far (for your tastes) when I said it was promising so far. And you thought this behavior needed to be called out by your "Dunning-Kruger in the wild" meme account.

I don't think I've misinterpreted the situation, I just find it a bit sad and I wonder how much you think you've added to the discussion. That you run that account, you must think: "quite a bit!" I'll leave that one up to the audience.

This reads more like a general diatribe against AGPLv3 than a critique of the program.

I don't like GPL licenses myself, I prefer BSD/MIT/etc.

But that aside, this has very little to do with this program, and it very little (if any) impediment to using this kind of program.

It might prevent a company from building a commercial closed source version (which is fine, we have plenty of commercial DAWs already), and it might prevent a company from somehow turning this into SaaS. Both of those seem like very remote and unlike possibilities, even if this was non GPLv3.
From the article "SOFA robots have become something of a national treasure in Thailand."

Do keep in mind that this kind of thinking is kind of self-reinforcing; by using cargo to distribute software, you'll keep a certain group of users outside of your ecosystem, thus never seeing complaints.

I, for one, cannot install this on the latest Debian Stable, I'm getting 'failed to parse Cargo.lock file' errors with cargo. So since there's no other way for me to install this or try this out, that's it.

Now I could probably install a more recent cargo version, but really, should I have to? I'm not a rust dev at all, and it seems like a high tax to pay for installing a tool I don't even know I will really use. I'll also know that raising a support issue about this would come off as entitled, and I'm not too familiar with Rust's ecosystem so I don't know if I step on anyone's toes, so I won't do it.
