What makes you think governments are better allocators of capital than billionaires who are obviously producing valuable services and goods? The government is not creating anything: It extracts wealth rather than generates. It wastes an awful lot of the money it collects on bureaucracy and it doesn't create new jobs which add to the public purse through additional income taxes.

Many of the billionaires want to contribute towards the well-being of others, and decide to do it on their own accord rather than just giving their money to government where it is used inefficiently.
Where did I say I reply like this to everyone? Why would you expect to be rude to a support person and still get support?

In my view, you extend people basic courtesy, whether you're paying them or not, and paying doesn't give you the right to act entitled. Price doesn't enter into it, I reply the same way to every rude customer, except one-off payments don't have "I won't give you any more money" to fall back on to excuse their bad behaviour.

Bad customers might say "I'll go with your competitor", not realizing that that's no threat when the payment is one-time.
> Alternatively, charge them appropriately.

A somewhat smarter pricing model, in my own opinion, is rather than charging someone $200 for a phone call, sell them "coupons" in advance where one coupon equals one support contact. When they have used up N percent of their available coupons, send them an automated e-mail and tell them that future contacts will be denied unless coupons are available.

This way, you get the money up front, which is good. Customers that don't contact you a lot are also happy, because they won't need to "re-fill" for a long time -- and annoying customers that call you just to check if you got an e-mail will burn through their coupons in no time.

This way, there is no explicit cost for a single phone call that can be challenged by the customer, it's simply an objective way of charging "support contacts", and it's up to the customer to minimize those contacts if they want to save money.

What constitutes a contact is up to you, but in my mind it would make sense to classify "ticket creation" (not replies) or "phone call" both as separate contacts. This also makes tickets "worth" way more than a phone call, so you incentivize people to stop calling unless absolutely necessary.
Does anybody ask such questions really.

Indeed, making you more robot for "how things should be done".

Just one example: I like my code to be readable, and one of the things I apply for that is the use of white space. Between my functions/methods I have at least 3 lines of white space. It's a lie that this is not "how things should be done", and there is no way to tell prettier to accept that because it is meant to be opinionated. These tools have a place for some teams and junior devs, but I try to stay away from the ugly code it spits out.

Correction: the AGPL only means that you have to provide the open source code to your customers (folks who interact with the service), not to everyone (unless of course the service is open to everyone). Of course those customers could throw the code up on GitHub but in practice they probably won't.

I'm with you. It doesn't matter it's a business, if you can't have even the most basic level of courtesy they don't deserve much.

I guess most people here in HN never worked in customer support, or as cashier and such.

Treat people with respect. Customer support already mentally tax people, much more that you would expect if you never worked in it.
It really is scary how open the current administration is about attacking the postal system before a historic mail in election. I sent my ballot application in the other day and it is already taking an extra two days compared to what I am used to. The intent is clear.

That, plus the constant narrative about voter fraud (which apparently only happens in blue leaning states) and then the comment about delaying the election. He's setting himself up so that if he loses in November he can scream "they cheated" and try to override our democratic process. Voting is the core of democracy and it's crazy that it's coming under attack. Whatever the outcome of the election is, this November is going to be a scary time.
We were overriding non-virtual functions at run time in the 8-bit days. Even in the feature article's case it would be easier and more reliable to patch the GOT (since he's using ELF on Linux).

It's hardly news but I guess it makes this common cracking technique more accessible.
The limit would be set higher for a complex case. But for a simple branding case nobody will need months/years of work.

That indeed was puzzling to me, but I figured it out by the very entertaining live coverage of parliament sessions last year (with John Bercow still as Mr Speaker).

In US congress (?) they display Yea/Nee on voting displays I believe; anyone knows where that originates from?

I don't understand how that's "no threat" just because you got a one time payment. You're still losing customers to a competitor. Is this competitor also charging one time, or monthly? Do they make more money than you? Because if they're charging monthly, and more, you're clearly leaving money on the table as well.

There's a potential that you're paying a huge premium (that you don't even see) just for the enjoyment of being rude to customers. Maybe that's something you value extremely highly, I don't know.
It might be completely useless, but that has an etymological reason. Correlation derives from con + relation, where the n assimilated to the following r. On the other hand, corollary ultimately derives from corona with some diminutive suffix containing a double l.
> The problem is the justice system accept this behaviour.

Judges already have the ability to throw out a case of it has no merit. Why are obvious cases like this possible is a question I'd like an answer to.

We already depend on public opinion in general to determine criminal Justice norms. In place of apple put a prosecutor, in place of pear company put suspect. Every single one of us commits infractions every day we exist in the USA. Protectors use prosecutorial discretion. They do not charge us for every single crime that has technically been committed, because the populace would be up in arms and the prosector would lose their job. Each plaintiff is like a prosecutor. They should be beholden to popular opinion, and that opinion should be that behavior like this should be unacceptable.
Actually this got me thinking they should have built the resolution system on top of DNS. We already use emails for very sensitive communications and rely on DNS to resolve them correctly. I'm not sure why we couldn't do the same for payment addresses.

NCPI could definitely be a single point of failure, and I think that makes them vulnerable to more than just MITM and DDOS attacks.

I love seeing new Haskell projects, though I personally would rather just stick with Haskell's clean syntax:

data Maybe a = Nothing | Just a

...over this:

data Maybe<a> {
Nothing,
Just(value: a)
}

I understand that programmers coming from mainstream languages might feel uncomfortable without all those angle brackets, curly braces, and parentheses (why do C-like languages have so many ways to syntactically group things?), so if this project helps them ease their way into Haskell I totally support it. However, a small part of the joy of Haskell is freeing yourself from the arbitrary syntactic boilerplate that most languages have.

The "6" would be the first note of the next octave, and 7 and 8 would be up that 1 and 2 scale notes.

Except there's no "from" the straight minor per se, because entry is in scale degrees vs notes from the start.
Considering they did come back with a polite follow up, I agree with the above poster that it was likely a case of poor communication skills rather than intentioned rudeness. Your quick follow up to their inappropriate message with your own overt rudeness is clearly what is setting posters off here. I would have given them a bit more of the benefit of a doubt before I went off on them.
I'd have felt an obligation to make the effort to help them, on account of how they paid me, and I'd ask them to clarify the problem. I'd use a tone that reassures them I'm taking them seriously, rather than one that gives them good reason to think I don't care about them.

Yes, their tone is rude, but it's not as if it's outright abusive. One can't be so thin-skinned as to take offence at punctuation. They also failed to provide any details about the problem, but that's what happens when you deal with customers rather than professional testers. The ability to file good bug-reports (or support requests) is a skill; you can't very well insist that all your customers must have it.
You're in luck -- the article embeds a copy of the entire (352-page) opposition filing. (Maybe it was added since you read it, as it appears to be an update.)

Surely if the customer is prepared to go to the trouble of calling you up about their problem they're likely to leave if you don't solve it? At least unless you have a monopoly?
> You're still losing customers to a competitor.

Sure, that's true.

> for the enjoyment of being rude to customers

I was rude to customers? For pointing out they can't talk to me like that? I may have gotten the definition of "rude" wrong.
It may depend on age, overall knowledge of CS (including its history) and level of experience with multiple programming languages. Maybe the article itself does not literally support the idea, but it might still be inferred from it. It might also be the resulting discussion and responses, or additional field experience, that might give rise to this conclusion.

I personally think the whole typing movement of the last decade has been mostly a red herring. What I mean with that is that it appears to try solve the "wrong" problem. While strong typing certainly can solve a whole class of bugs, my impression is that where this has been required most, ended up always situations where horrible overall design and code quality were the actual main problems (not typing).

Coming from a (embedded) assembly and C direction myself, I have nothing against strong typing. But what has consistently rubbed me the wrong way about this modern strong typing "movement", both intuitively and rationally, is how it appears to fix something that is essentially broken on a whole different level. No amount of strong typing is going to fix that.

I know, nothing much actionable or concrete here. Just my opinion. Regardless, this old geezer certainly agrees with the overall impression that "unsound" is pretty much the state of this art, these days.

Cruelty is subjective, so I'll play the vegan's advocate here since I'm not vegan myself: Dairy cows are forcibly inseminated and then used for their milk way beyond the time period they normally would produce milk. In many parts of the world they are kept in conditions which are cruel, and they may also suffer physically from this treatment (infections etc). In essence, dairy animals are treated like machines rather than animals and very little concern is given to their well being rather than their profitability. Morality is, as always, subjective, but from a vegan perspective, this is unnecessary and cruel exploitation.

I'd also like to add that most vegans are not magically averse to meat or dairy as a product: they are mostly concerned with the industrial complex of producing animal products. I think most vegans would have no, or at least a lot less, problems with dairy production if it happened in a way where cows were treated very well and did not suffer in any way from having their milk taken (which would make milk prohibitively expensive, I assume).

Not spelling, but I prefer the way of referring to brackets in the UK. It's simpler and logical:

In the US:

() = parentheses (what a mouthful :-)

[] = brackets

> what successful product has Google created outside of advertising?

The answer is a revolutionary search engine, aside of course from their ground breaking email product, their mobile platform that is one of the only two viable ones, the top video platform and so on. These are all very successful products. Regarding the question if these are successful does it matter their financing model is mostly based on ads?

This would stifle small companies even more. Think of the reverse scenario where the large company is infringing on patents/trademark. If you sue, you better win because you risk paying double attorney's fees. With judges and juries making poor decisions a very real possibility that's a scary proposition.
I would be very surprised to see any T&C for a consumer grade app or service explicitly stating that they serve a specific purpose or solve a specific issue. Usually the T&C state that the service is "as is".
You are entitled to be pissed-off, as much as the developer is entitled to just say " no", unless you have a contract stating otherwise.

It's a pretty ridiculous simplification of how nature works. Animals being dependent on each-other is found everywhere in nature, and the fact is that cows at this point would stand almost no chance in nature since we have bred them to the point of cuddly teddy bears. So you could argue that cows get protection and we get milk, it's not necessarily exploitation in my mind until you get to the point where you talk about industrial production of meat and dairy, which to be honest is pretty cruel and horrifying in parts.
I agree. But amazon has AWS too which is high-end.

Social, or political - giving less technological countries advances shifts power.

And who in those countries gets the advances? A corporation or a community - if a community currently grow the own food inefficiently and you take the growing land, give it to a corporation and produce the same food efficiently then the people lose income, need to buy their food, and all financial benefits of the food sale get privatised. The value produced by that land is moved. We need to be careful not to spread the bad parts of efficient production.
