The FSF is fine with charging for software. That's why they say "free as in freedom not free as in beer"
I'm not criticizing the hypothesis, simply pointing out it's not well understood.

But it is not true that the precautionary principle applies here regardless of the risk.

There is a cost to avoiding the behaviors that raise the possibility of run away methane release; carbon based energy was absolutely necessary to get out science/industry to the point we can look for alternatives.

If we muddled around in the pre-industrial age in perpetuity, eventually we'd get wiped out by some large event (astroid, super volcano, ice age etc). So the risk is worth it to a point since the cost of the alternative is equally high.
Got it, that makes sense
You are normalizing CPC actions by stating that the US does it or would do it in the CPC’s position.
Similarly, the NSA betrayed us. They don't get to say that they were just following orders. We must always understand that the NSA betrayed us and we can't trust them any more. Information dominance is the most powerful way for a nation to dominate and control its people. The NSA turned on the US Citizens and betrayed them in this way.
The moral argument is that theft is wrong. Further, it discourages innovation.

This is great, but the video has 1000 views and no comments. This is part of the problem - how do you get people to use a platform that no one else is using? It’s not a ‘build it and they will come’ situation, there are already working (non-free) options out there.
I agree this post is more about illegitimate video editing by right-wingers (lawmakers), rather than about purely technology.

Not an og public account but my first name starts with the first letter of the English alphabet twice. By quiencidence so does the first letter of my last name. That puts me dead top of any and every AD corporate email list. I get CCed on so many things. I think the worst, not the worst but it was the first time and I was brand new in my tech career and didn’t say anything until waaaaay after I should have. The CEO of a small NASDAQ was using his work account, my employer, to discuss the building of his mega house with his contractors. Specifics like cost, the address, window choices.
I co-founded Vine. Here's my advice for TikTok on how to stay on top
I get emails occasionally for I think 3 people in America all of whom have the same name as me. One is always to do with tires (tyres) he's bought, another is for a guy who buys a lot of expensive consumer goods in Costco and the third is for a guy who's involved in a charity. I don't get any for the latter for any more but I do for the first two, despite emailing all three repeatedly about it. The last email I got about the charity was a disrespectful one about a wealthy couple who they were expecting to receive a large donation from. He took action after he realized that one had escaped into the wild.
I need to get rid of Google, they don't even let me login to my own account anymore because they don't recognize my devices... but before I do I need to get my data out, somehow.
I get Harbor Freight as well. I’ve been getting someone’s AT&T bill for years. No amount of trying to convince AT&T to fix this has been successful. I agree that it’s maddening that there’s often no way to tell these companies that they have the wrong person.

For a while, any time I got signed up for something where they provided a cell phone, I’d use my Google Talk number to text the cell phone and inform them. I don’t really bother any more, as generally people are just confused and it ends up being a lot of back and forth.

A sampling of the other emails I’ve received over the years:

- Nude photos from a woman who, when I informed her that I wasn’t the person she meant to send them to, got quite offended that I didn’t want her pictures. After a little back and forth she realized her mistake (and I deleted the email and the pictures).

- Pictures and video of a baby, along with emails criticizing me for not wanting to see my baby, and not supporting her.

- There’s a man in Texas and a man in Florida who have both used my email address to sign up for what could only charitably be described as dating sites. These sites all seem to use the same base software, and have no way to remove your account. With these I’ve taken to resetting the password and deleting the account. Sometimes I’ll have a little fun and change the bio to something like “I hope you like STDs, because that’s all I’m bringing to the table”.

- Receipts for web purchases. Mostly these are boring, clothes, home goods and the like. However one person used my email address when purchasing several hundred dollars in sex toys. The email included his name (same as mine) and his address, along with a detailed accounting of his purchase. I was tempted to print that and mail it to the address with a nice note advising him to use his own email address next time.

- Job search emails. Sometimes it’s scheduling interviews, sometimes it’s notification of a start date and some paperwork. I’ve also gotten an email with the results of a background check that wasn’t favorable.

- The absolute craziest one was an email exchange that lasted over a year. This man in California would send texts from his phone to a bunch of different email addresses complaining to his wife, who had left him (and was included on the emails). He would rant about her new boyfriend, complain that she had stolen money from him and wouldn’t visit with his kid. It was a bit sad but I tried repeatedly to convince him that I wasn’t the person he thought I was, even going so far as to send him a selfie and asking him if I looked anything like the person he thought he was emailing (his response: yes, but you’ve gained a few pounds! Jackass.). I never did convince him, and he refused to stop sending emails. He told me I should just block him. I suspect he was having some mental health issues and perhaps wasn’t all there. The emails finally stopped. I kind of wonder if he passed away or ended up in a facility without access to his phone.

Isn’t this one of the reasons why US healthcare is so unaffordable?
Agreed. This looks very cool, but I saw "subscription" and just went "nope".

That's a dealbreaker, and always will be. I really don't intend to be rude, and I don't doubt this is worth more than what most of us have become used to paying for apps. But I can't, in good conscience, support subware (or afford to, for that matter). I believe in buying apps once, not every month.

I mentioned some of the technologies I've worked with above, but there are others. I have a strong history of starting a project with little or no knowledge of the project's stack, and leaving my clients pleased with the outcome.

I'm especially interested in work outside of frontend web development, especially: anything climate change-related, networking, embedded design, or app development.

I've worked on everything from data pipelines to APIs to basic assemblers, and I'm confident I can meet or exceed expectations on anything that's thrown my way.

Why is it a stretch? Only a tiny itsy bitty minority even know what FP is (a little more these days because of some JS frameworks and reactive programming, but still).

Then among the people who do know about it, an even smaller fraction learnt about it first, or in the same depth. Among those who did, very few learnt it in a practical way (Learning ML in college is unlikely to get someone to use FP to build production software, especially before ReasonML was a thing).

With all that, is it a stretch to think people don't use FP because they don't know about it? No, I don't think so. It could be 100% objectively superior in every way and people still wouldn't use it in those circumstances. And its' far from being "obviously" better.
Could very well be mistaken on this, but if I’m right, at some point some USB host port conformance test specified such A-A rollover cable.

And also in more recent years, Intel DCI uses A-A 3.0 cable for CPU debugging on tablet PCs. Lesser known but Intel defines USB host controller spec.

So not allowed in spec for public use, but not custom cables per se.

I wish exist a way to access to micro-funding in this area. Even if is still for "hobby" I think it could make a dent because from my experience most believe this kind of tools are "too hard" for the average developer to work on, until somehow you find some time and just try.

This way the talent pool can be build...
> The fact IAM policies still can't deny requests missing a tag, or deny requests by tag-value condition seems silly to me...

Am I missing something here? I could have sworn that aws:RequestTag with a “Tag On Create” Actions would enforce the authorization check based on the in the Tags parameter? Similarly aws:TagKeys allows you to control the permitted values of those Tags.

> allowing some auto-populated tags like what principle was responsible for making the instance in the first place.

These do exist as “system tags”, but its on a per service basis. Migration Hib and ECS come to mind. I dont know of any cross cutting application (like IAM) where theyre applied universally.

That article foes not substantiate your claim. That article says Snowden-leaked data shows the NSA collected information on Petrobras. There is no indication why. There is no information suggesting the NSA provided that information to US businesses or gathered the information for anything other than national security purposes.

If you have something other than speculation that backs up your claim, I am happy to consider it. But this is not it.
Does it compile to WebAssembly VM? Any compilers on Android or iOS? Will it work with Docker? Is it deployable on AWS or Azure?
There was some tool for
doing this securely on the command line. You run it with the file name and it gives you back a token. You give the token to your friend, they run the same tool with the token, and it downloads the file. Can’t for the life of me find it or remember what it was called. Wormhole?

Edit: I guess it was magic wormhole, discussed elsewhere in this thread.
> and now the arbitrary control over Chinese companies when China is probably the largest private investor in India right now

I do not fully agree with some of the other points made, but this I completely disagree. There are many reasons the banning of Chinese money and influence in India is a long term strategic security issue.

For the immediate short-term, there are Chinese tanks, fighter planes, artillery and soldiers gathering across the border with India, with multiple incidents and provocations. India still has the debacle of 1962 Sino-Chinese war fresh in it's mind. Couple that with the recent aggressive posturing, land grabs and general disregard for the rights of other countries displayed by China, it is obvious why Chinese capital and companies have to be banned or reduced.

You cannot have trade / exchanges with a country that is on the verge of attacking you. The very fact that China chose a military display of power to provoke India, very clearly shows that China does not respect India and it's sovereignty.

Now you may couple this with other aspects of Indian domestic and foreign policies, but those have to be solved through other channels. Not by military force.

Perhaps you are from the US, and believe that global flow of capital is more important and sacred than other issues, but I would encourage you to have a look from a different perspective.

Investments by Chinese companies in various countries around the world makes it clear that China is trying to influence internal politics of other nations through it's money and loans.

Please read how Chinese companies have wreaked havoc in Africa and South-east Asia.

At this point of time, China simply cannot be trusted by India and Indians. Neither should other countries. Because, in the long term, China has plans for world domination and being a super power. But that is not based on sound values, like that in the US constitution, but based on authoritarian diktats and a world view where Chinese usually see no one is their equal or even close to being one.

This whole thread is like part of a crazy Batman themed nightmare to me
For average folks, their ability to deliver is of little importance. What sets their compensation is the market rate. They can slack off for a few years, do bare minimum, then move to another FANG and double their pay, because such is the new market rate. Their past performance means shit. Their ability to perform on interviews and get competing offers means everything.

For exceptional folks it's silly to be the A players unless they have a buddy in the VP ranks who drags them up the ranks, as otherwise they would waste their best years on flat compensation and a bunch of petty bonuses. Exceptional folks should really slack off, become those C players, and build their own gig on a side.
> If you tell one organization you won't use its “portal” or app, so you will deal with it by phone, that helps.

If those are the choices, I think using a proprietary app might be better from a non-religious, consequentialist perspective than adding to the stress of an overworked and underpaid call center worker.

Also, for some people, using the app isn't just a slight convenience. I don't know this for sure and would be happy to be corrected, but I imagine that deaf people greatly prefer an app over using a TDD or a hearing interpreter to communicate with a phone-based customer service rep.

Congress granting pardons is different. It's limited in scope and has a higher bar, since it requires the assent of a majority of the legislative branch.

What's chaotic about punishing a lawbreaking president? Sounds pretty lawful to me. It's how healthy democracies are supposed to operate. Pardoning Nixon set a bad precedent.

Started at ... 10 and have been doing this for > 35 years in some capacity.

Sometimes that 'best tool' really just happens to be the one I have X years of experience in, because I'm here, right now, in front of the project, and have solved the same problem Y times before with acceptable results (systems running, people getting value as expected). That doesn't automatically justify being a stick-in-the-mud and never adopting any new technology ever.

But it also means that jumping to new tools on a semi-annual basis, you'll have a hard time having justified confidence you can deliver something of value. I have to qualify with "justified" because... I've seen too many folks who have confidence and... really shouldn't. And I recognize that because I can see how I was once there.

I had a call from someone in 2017 asking about something I'd built for them in 2002. System was still running. Someone had been doing basic system upgrades every so often, but they'd hit some logical issues and needed more insight, and pinged me. Last year I noticed a previous client project started in 2000 was still up. I've no doubt they've updated some of the back end stuff, but some of the stuff I put in place I can still see (html comment, semi-unusual url structure, etc).

Understanding that what you build might actually be in place, working for people for 15-20 years is hard to get your head around until you've actually done this for 20 years. When I was 20 I could not understand the ramifications of decisions impacting people or companies for 20 years - I just didn't have that life experience - no one at 20 does. We're often fed magical press releases about acquisitions and exits and we read stories of things shutting down, getting sunset, etc. Those aren't the norms though, I don't think.

With that in mind, my criteria for choosing the 'right tool' has shifted some in the last few years, and I'm always a bit more hesitant to jump on latest shiny trends, as... I do get somewhat concerned about the long term viability. That has to be a factor in 'best tool' calculations, no? (sorry for long ramble)...

But being "held responsible" and being "held accountable" are very different. Holding someone responsible means to blame them. Holding someone accountable means giving them consequences. Many people blame the government for all sorts of things. Only a very small number of those things is the government ever held accountable for.

I agree that many people blamed the British Government for their problems, indeed that was the impetus for the revolution, but accountability of the British government was limited to none.
I should have demonstrated my picks. I didn't just look for citation but also looked for at least some nontrivial review of the results of the paper^.

I pick these two papers. The first is literally about adjunctions pertaining to combinatorial species whereas the second devotes an entire section to reviewing the theory and stating results that it uses in a way that I don't really understand. I'm going to read the first paper though because it's relevant to my interests :)

Rajan. The adjoints to the derivative functor on species

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0097316593...

Panagiotou, Konstantinos; Stufler, Benedikt; Weller, Kerstin. Scaling limits of random graphs from subcritical classes.

https://projecteuclid.org/euclid.aop/1474462098

The fact that I have to go rummaging around for these examples kind of proves your point, doesn't it? I don't think category theory will lead to any fantastic new results in the fields we're discussing, but the bar is quite low for it to be useful as an organizational tool.

^ I searched for the word functor of course! :)
