> the problem is the adoption of GPL3, which forced many parties to switch to non-GPL alternatives.

Those are the same sort of businesses that, back in the '90s, would take BSD code and ship it without giving anything back. They were using GPL code only because they could respect the letter of the license while ignoring the spirit, thanks to coincidental technological changes (the move from PCs to server-based architectures). This problem keeps coming up and promotes a parasitic business model.

We'd be better served in the long run, as an ecosystem, by trying to find business models that work with GPL3.
Your math is off by a factor of 1000. 20 pounds is about 9kg, let's say 10 for easier math. 300 people with 10kg each is 3 tons, not 3000.

Why? In a software-triggered warm reset you wouldn't loose data to lack of refresh, so it doesn't seem that different than recovering from an interrupted on-disk log or whatever.
The bigger question is why it has come to that, that door #1 is such a joke.

Is competition not supposed to drive down the bargaining power of the investment banks in terms of fees and IPO discount? Apparently not.

Are institutional investors who are part of the 30x oversubscribed and not getting allocations not really upset with this process as well? Why would they not want to pay a higher price and benefit from a smaller IPO "pop" than the 30% build in the system?

There is probably a massive business opportunity to get IPO investors and IPO'ing companies connected in a much more structured and technology based way.
>You'll be literally voting for the person who sent _thousands_ of people to prison for relatively minor offenses and kept them there for slave labor, and the guy who wrote the laws under which she had done so.

Seems a little uh tangential to what he was saying given there was no talk of the presidential election, but when the alternative is a guy who would take away food stamps and was happy letting people die here because of our governor...

Relying on removing features then seeing which ones get you yelled at is not a great approach to building trust in your users. when you classify adding to tickets about the missing features with comments like "I really need this feature and it's omission is causing me to look elsewhere" as unproductive (or even in other projects taking a similar approach some have called it harassment) at the same time, it's a bad look.
It is political.

If we take the gallup and normalize it by social economic status then the result seems to pretty much align with a desire for more police presence at the lower end and less police presence at the higher end, which in turn reflect the crime rate at regions with higher social economics status vs low social economic status. This would unlikely surprise anyone here on HN.

But if you proxy social economic status with demographics then the result becomes political, and so people desire to find an different answer.
> Whatever does a rental property have to do with OpenZFS?

Not much (though I think it's fair to say that when someone is praised for their "refined leadership" it's talking about more than just the quality of their code). In any case, "that other guy also said something irrelevant" isn't really to the point.

> What about political contributions?

What about them?

> Are you genuinely unaware of all the crazy witchhunts [...] this CoC push?

My confusion is because so far as I can see "this CoC push" has nothing to do with anything here, it's just something you want to talk about. The OP isn't about CoCs. The thread you replied to isn't about CoCs. The comment you replied to isn't about CoCs. Kip Macy's mistreatment of his tenants isn't about CoCs, or caused by CoCs, or prohibited by CoCs. The OpenZFS merge isn't about CoCs. (Well, quite possibly the OpenZFS project and/or the FreeBSD project have them, but so what?)

> Have you ever heard of ESR?

Yes. I don't look to him for political guidance, though.

(Two other things, besides codes of conduct, that have nothing to do with anything in this discussion aside from your apparent wish to talk about them: political contributions, and Eric Raymond.)
Apple's position is that if you want to deploy apps onto the iPhone, then you must provide a way for the user to signup with Apple as the intermediary.

This actually increases user choices because for any app which has an existence outside the app store, users can now choose to either pay the conventional way or have Apple intermediate. Before users had to accept Microsoft's way or don't use Microsoft Office.

I'm okay with 3rd party app stores, but I wouldn't be okay with losing the option to signup through Apple, which is more what companies care about.
The northwest area of Saudi mentioned in the article has been archaeology blindspot for a long time and it is only being surveyed properly by Archaelogists starting in 1981 [1]. It is also believed to be the alternative location for Mount Sinai (where Moses first received his revelations) mentioned in both Old Testament and Quran, instead of the more popular location of Mount Sinai claimed to be in the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt.

The main basis of the claim is that the physical objects described in the holy books are clearly apparent in the alternative site instead of in the Sinai Peninsula[2]. The secondary basis is the fact (mentioned in both Old Testament and Quran) that Jethro (Arabic Shuaib) is believed to be the father-in-law of Moses when he went into hiding for many years in Midian (northwest Saudi Arabia) and got married there[3]. Fun facts, most of the 25 prophets well-known in Islam are of Jewish origin including Moses and Jesus, and Jethro/Shuaib and Muhammad are a few handful of Arabic prophets [4].

Also a little known fact is that city of Mecca in Saudi is referenced in both the Old Testament and Quran as Baka and Bakkah Valley, respectively [5]. In the 7th century Arabic it was common practice to interchange letter M and B.

In the UK you just get going on your research. You don’t do initial courses. You effectively defend your proposal when you apply.

Ultimately the goal of a PhD is to learn to be a researcher and to produce a good new research result. If you can do that in three years why wait around another two or more for the sake of it?

I had a colleague who did a PhD in two years in Austria. In that time he got two top-tier papers published. If you’re getting multiple papers into top-tier venues then surely you’ve past the test? You obviously can do research and you obviously are producing good results as judged by a wide group of peers.

Why does the US drag it out so much?

I’ll tell you why - US PhD students also only spend about three years on their PhD. They spend the rest of their time doing masters-level taught classes, teaching (!) and working on their advisors’ projects instead of their own!
1) I use the android navigation bar at bottom to jump to Home or switch apps or lock the phone. FF in light theme mode takes over that area with a white background making it impossible to use white-on-white buttons. I had to switch to dark theme just to be able to see those buttons.

I have this problem too and I am using the default phone configuration. Its bizarre that professional Android developers would make the extra effort of breaking the navigation buttons on a product that is unfinished because of time constraints.

If they don't provide it then you can opt to just not read it. Not paying and not viewing ads is clearly expecting free content, the very same expectation that pushed so many ads online in the first place.
This rings true to me.

You see it, especially with racial issues, that when (mainly white activists) shame other white people for being white (and ergo automatically racist), those being shamed generally retract even further away from potentially engaging with the issues

Side note. Stores really need to fix their approach to reusable grocery bags. People will always forget to bring them and will go with the other option because of convenience. They need to factor that in. Maybe just charge a deposit on the reusable bags and allow people to return them at their leisure for a refund?

There is no correlation. Success is 100% business connections. Even if the CTO was terrible, it wouldn't matter because the most talented devs would be applying to work for this hot new startup and would be able to work around all of the CTO's silly constraints. I have seen this over and over in my career.

The CTO imposes pointless arbitrary rules, tools and languages and then talented developers figure out a way to deliver value within those arbitrary constraints. Developers will use whatever language their boss tells them, then later when the project succeeds, they will praise that language, those tools and their bosses.

People will always praise the leaders of a successful company, no matter how incompetent they are.

People who succeed always think that it was because of good decision making across the board. They don't admit to themselves that the only decisions that actually matter are who the CEO is and who their friends are. Our system is crony-capitalism, no doubt about it. Nothing to do with value creation; the evidence is everywhere.

Any good developer who analyzes cryptocurrency projects, for example, will realize that there is no correlation between quality (or scalability) of the technology and ranking/market cap of the project. The top, most valuable project is Bitcoin and consumes the same amount of electricity as the nation of Ireland to process a measly 4 transactions per second. Anyone who thinks that Bitcoin is the most valuable project due to technical merit is an idiot. It's 100% network effects.

I can say from experience across different tech industries that the current market selection process works the same way across the entire tech sector, not just cryptocurrency.

Every time a project succeeds, the people who built it will try to claim credit for that success. The people who are actually responsible for that success (through their personal connections) will happily let the technical people claim the credit because it diverts attention away from the much more cynical and unjust reality.

Any attempt to insinuate that success has anything to do with choice of tech is either misguided or deeply corrupt as the dogma harms real people (who will be forced to use tools they don't like) and causes real loss in productivity.

Googeling for "photonic tensor" I found this publication:

https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/5.0001942

which seems to describe a similar technology.

The matrix-multiplication is partially done in an "analog" way, multiplication with constant coefficients can be done using programmed optical attenuation elements, and the summing stage can be done by superposition of multiple optical signals.

This works well if you can do with a low dynamic range (low precision math) and with seldomly-changing coefficients (i.e. multiplying a changing vector/matrix with a constant matrix). On the other hand you save orders of magnitude of energy per operation. Maybe for neural networks this is a favourable trade-off. The paper at the link above talks about a 4-bit precision matrix multiplication.
What about the dementia of Biden ? None on the left is talking about it.
I think this would be a fair statement if the customer was given an option on the device, but when you consider that scenario, it becomes super clear that Apple's take is predatory:

- Either pay X, your purchase is handled through Stripe / Paypal, and your relationship is with the company directly.

- Or pay X + 30%, and your relationship is with Apple

Certainly I can see some advantages to the second option, but how many customers do you think would willingly pay a 30% premium for that given the choice.

At 5-10% (i.e. a few percentage points above established and legit payment processors, but ones that are a little less full-service), I think it becomes a much more reasonable argument.
People on this site are not in general nerds. The explosion in developers around the late 00s meant that the average coder is no longer a typical 'news for nerds stuff that matters' person.
It's user generated content. What is Google supposed to do about sponsors in videos?

Technically the Youtube subscription is for the platform itself and extra features, and a little bit of the money is shared with creators in return for removing the ads. They actually make less with Youtube premium users, and if you paid them the same as their ad revenue then your total subscription would be much higher.
Nah, if the really card holder make a complaint to the card issuer, there will be a full charge-back by the card issuer plus a investigation fee and the store will have to cover the loss.

I know a little about Coinbase. The CEO did the initial MVC with ruby on rails. He was somewhat technical so it was a natural choice.

Then they moved forward with ruby for the whole platform, maybe as that's what he understood and what was the alternative back in the day.

However for any of these businesses the language of choice if starting today for me would be rust.

I really feel you get a much more maintainable codebase than a ruby project,

Yeah, fluentd... I had to look into its in_stdin plugin, and I can tell you one thing: it simply doesn't handle regexes properly. In fact, none of its input plugins can correctly handle the situation where a multiline regex doesn't match the whole line, unless they do what in_tail did (split the lines yourself and disallow the multiline regexes).

Edit: Sorry, I meant "Fluent bit". No idea how fluentd handle this scenario, but I was told it was too slow (being written in Ruby) so that's why the switch to fluentbit was made.
I don't disagree. But working at apple is not much better.

For me the interface is a regression in every way, except for the ability to select bar location (I have it at the top, but the choice is nice).

That said the performance improvements are nice, and it'll stay my primary browser on Android.

> It's unfortunate that the percentage cut ends up overshadowing the real antitrust issue

The merits of the antitrust part are not supposed to be handled in a TRO. Its purpose is to maintain the status quo and limit possibly irreparable damages while the complex issues are debated in court. Here the 30% cut is important because it's a matter of deciding what a reasonable number would be.

In the case most favorable to Epic, it could be reduced to a lower value after a lengthy court process, but it would not necessarily change the nature of the market / economy. In other antitrust cases, you could have situations where the continued infringement by a near monopolistic entity would indeed qualify for a restraining order as the final judgment would arrive after the smaller competitor would be long dead.

> Haven't 37 US states legalized (to some extent) marijuana, while the federal government still has prohibition laws/rules in place?

I mean, that's a bad example because if you admit you've done drugs to a border guard (even while in a state where it's 'legal') you'll get deported. It's not really legal anywhere in the US, there's just a bunch of people doing illegal things. At best this is a case of "it's not illegal of you don't get caught" even if that's because the locals are intentionally trying not to look.

This is an example of dysfunction, not successful function, and an abject failure of federal policy and leadership.

I agree that it should be a states rights issue.

An alternative way to look at it: what did western civilisation do to grow such a huge amount of wealth compared to the rest of the world? What could the rest of the world learn from this, so that they could build wealth of their own? Fortunately the answer is relatively simple, as evidenced by how most east Asian countries have now become just as wealthy/developed as western countries: by embracing markets, the rule of law and personal responsibility.

Cousteau's first wife Simone was independently wealthy and financed his boat (Calypso) and expeditions. She lived on board most of the time (yet never appears on camera). But he had another secret family (with kids) on the shore with a former flight attendant, since the late 70s. Simone only learned about it in 1990. Letters were published where she asks a friend in disbelief if this can be true. She then died within a few months. Can't find the letters right now but I did read them then.

There sure is a lot to discover below the surface of our oceans.

I recently watched "Diving Deep" https://de.oceanfilmtour.com/en/movies/volume-7/diving-deep/ a documentary (part of the Ocean Film Tour 2020) about Mike deGruy, an ocean cinematographer.

deGruy showed what the chemicals that were used to disperse the oil during the Deepwater Horizon spill did to the life on the ocean floor. The chemicals removed the oil from the surface of the ocean (where it was visible), but made a mess below the surface. A wakeup call for sure.

He also appears to have been a really nice, fun guy.
I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment on the validity of these claims but my gut feeling is along the lines of "If it sounds too good to be true..."

It would be great if this was for real though. The possibilities of such such a thing are almost unimaginable.
