2k/mo would pay for 37 devs for a year. Rather than that do micropayments for contributions (approved packages, finished tasks). A project such as Debian only needs a few core members or people working on important projects paid full time. It works for FreeBSD.

I really like Debian but volunteers are probably better off packaging for other distros such as Arch or Alpine with simpler packaging/better tooling and less strict rules. One thing to improve would be tooling to make packages.
You having no expectation of privacy means that the person being photographed has no constitutional rights as far as the constitution to protect. Conversely the photographer has no first amendment right to take a picture save freedom of the press.

If the picture isn't being captured for the purpose of informing their fellow citizenry they have no first amendment rights at all to protect in this scenario.

If both of these things are true this law creates a new right not to be subject to facial recognition which if it doesn't contravene state or federal legislation is perfectly legal.

Do you have a legal theory as to why this law would be problematic? The first amendment seems like a dead end but if you would like to argue it could you please expand on the matter?
That technique still exists today. When justices reserve judgment you find there is no mechanism to require they pass judgement.

I love records. There are plenty of reasons why records are great that don't usually get mentioned here.

* The big one: There is tons of music out there that isn't on streaming services. If you like punk, breakcore, UK dubstep, noise, really anything even a little bit out of the mainstream, or from the past - you can't find the best stuff on any streaming services. If I could only make one point, this would be it. Spotify! Doesn't! Haven't! Everything! You'll never dance around your living room to the good version of This Bike is a Pipebomb's 'Better Off Dead', because you don't have the split 7".

* Vinyl is a good value store. If you keep good care of your records - and you have good taste - you'll find that your collection _appreciates_ in value over time, unlike other forms which _depreciate_. Some of the records I picked up in high school are worth over a hundred bucks now! Not that I plan on ever selling them, but it's nice to know I could.

* Vinyl is something to do while traveling! It's great going to another country or city and browsing the record shops and finding something you're after, or something funky looking in the $2 bin. Random finds in dollar bins are a bit like Magic: The Gathering cards - usually crap, but occasionally brilliant. Plus, whenever you take it out, you get to remember the trip you got it on.

* Sampling. I make hip hop, and samples from vinyls just sound better with that real grit. They just do.

Records! Yeah!
So here's a curious question that is perhaps incredibly naive and seemingly impolite, hence the throwaway, but I really don't know, which is why I'm asking.

Why must one be a senior engineer in tech before they can become a staff engineer? To me, this seems much more like a communication role. Moreover, the tech that is needed to know is at a high level. Is it really needed to know the technical finer details of systems when high level software architecture and communication seem to be 90% of the whole role?

Or put in a more blunt, albeit unrefined, way: why can't someone who specializes in communication become a staff engineer? I mean people like consultants. They get so much experience with communication and high level tech (some of them at least) that this seems to be what they'd be good at.
Wow that is just complete gibberish. I haven’t been plugged into these incidents and didn’t realize there were such issues. Is this an indictment of news media? I feel like I’ve mostly been fed vague but confidently positive news bites before this discussion.
Some Debian developers tried to get funding to finish the Etch release, but it was met with a lot of hostility:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2006/10/msg00260.htm...

That doesn't mean that it cannot be done. E.g. the FreeBSD Foundation pays developers for specific projects that are important to the future of FreeBSD:

Yeah, I agree that there's definitely a time when it can make sense. From what I can tell it's either at the very beginning or much later in your career though.

In the beginning of your career, a startup that has solid senior eng talent means you get a good mentor and a big playground where you can really "get your feet wet" and learn a lot, fast. Frankly, in a way that I think is really difficult to do at most FAANGs nowadays where a large number of things are abstracted away.

L5 (and equivalents) are terminal levels at most FAANGs and most engineers don't make staff or above. I think it's pretty common for engineers that get the vibe their current team isn't going to let them reach L6+ to bounce to a startup. This is where typical startup offers (even for "staff" level eng) aren't going to include enough equity for it to be worthwhile. Here, the "non-monetary" factors really need to be huge for it to really make sense as a career move.

So I'm really not convinced as your "run of the mill" L5 engineer that going to a startup is ever going to monetarily be the rational choice. You really have to value something else.

Again, the math here is totally different when you're talking L6+ (or effectively performing/hireable at that level)

Can't you exercise your freedom of the press without automatically subjecting all passers by to facial recognition? For example one could argue that the freedom of the press would be paramount were you wanting to write a story about an event that had happened while using facial recognition to identify participants and or witnesses without letting people gather info on every person on the public street at all hours from now until forever?
I got ThinkPad E495 (Ryzen 5 3500U, 128GB SSD/ 8GB RAM, IPS FHD) on about $360 with huge $110 cashback (in Japan), that's steal. The great thing is that it has 2xSODIMM, 1xSATA, 1xM.2 slots so I added cheap 512GB SSD and 16+8GB RAM rather than expensive BTO option.
That's pretty low for software L5 at FB/GOOG/NFLX. Probably not AMZN.
I was in the fertilizer business for twenty plus years. I went from Roundup's original introduction in the seventies to the beginnings of Roundup Ready seed. I kept a book in my office (as an EPA requirement) that allowed any employee or customer to view the safety of each chemical.

Roundup was way safer to humans than the cocktail of other herbicides that it replaced. It felt like considerable progress at the time although we all knew it would lead to Roundup resistant weeds in time.

From the beginning there was a small but loud opposition to GMO seeds. Some scientist, usually in Europe, would produce a report that Roundup causes cancer or such. Six different Midwestern universities would try to duplicate the research, fail and then publish exactly where the original researcher made a mistake.

I don't claim to be a scientist but as an interested observer I think that's how the scientific process should work. Now they've switched battlefields to the courts and gained several early victories. I predict they will be overturned on appeal.

I agree with you on monocultural crops. I think rotation should be encouraged but I'm not exactly sure how to do it. What I don't want to see is the government telling farmers what they can plant. They could provide financial incentives however if they can convince the taxpayers it's worth the price.
at least one of them seems to just he hiring every reasonably talented fresh grad they can indoctrinate before they get any morals, ethics or know-better. :X

I think there are probably more than a dozen people, but they are working other projects. GPT-3 is cool, but it's not really commercially viable yet. There are lots of more immediately profitable projects to work on in the large enterprises that employ these capable people.
I realise this isn't aimed at us civilian plebs (yet, lol!), but still, I guess the old adage applies, if you have to ask, you can't afford it. Unless I missed the price sticker somewhere?
I believe that this only works on MS-DOS 7.0 and later

One of the beauties of having an unwritten constitution and instead an approach that vests the constitution in a Parliament, as we do here in the UK, is that nothing ever ossifies.

The constitution is a living breathing thing that evolves as the Parliament evolves. Of course that conversation has been particularly intense over the last few months as the UK removes itself from the EU. But it is working - if a little messy.

Which shows that an Anglo-Saxon oral constitution still works has it has done for a thousand years.
Interesting article but this quote

"For Wallen, there is another longstanding issue in the development community that needs to be addressed. “It’s become clear that there needs to be significant improvement in the way the development community treats people of color, women, and members of the LGBTQ community,” he says. “At this point, there must be a zero tolerance for unwanted or unequal treatment.”"

does not follow at all from the rest of the post, as higher agreeableness, the trait that would most match what the author just described, is not mentioned as being relevant to their findings anywhere. It would be interesting to see a study on the levels of agreeableness of developers compared to the rest of the population, as it is mentioned in the article that "Most developers are agreeable!" but I haven't seen anything to support that assertion.
The story behind the current graphs looks like it could be interesting
There is a tool called "Click Monitor DDC" that can control a lot of display settings via DDC. It warns that changing settings too often would wear out a display's flash memory used for storing the settings. This shouldn't be limited to changing settings via DDC but automated setting changes might occur lots of times more often than manual changes.

Projectors are supposed to allow you to disrespect that. You don't use a projector the same way you use a tablet or a desktop monitor.

Monitors are not. They have fixed surface area and it's entirely possible to respect that, since modern monitors identify themselves to the OS, so it's relatively trivial to calculate pixel density.

This sizing system was designed to be used with paper and PostScript printers respect it (or it'd be impractical to drive printers with different pixel densities).
Your logical conclusion is then what? Only anarchism is devoid of tyranny? You gonna have a hard time backing that one up.

I am currently unemployed/independently-wealthy/thrifter/bumming around the bay area. I love debian, and I sometimes joke that if there was such a thing as a minimum wage dev job, I would gladly take it to get out of having to pass another technical interview :/

It would be neat if they could split the difference between free and real job, but I wonder if part of the reason they don't is that they want people who care unreservedly about values and code quality rather than people who need $500 a week?
Apparently it is not making nitrogen at all, but splitting aerial nitrogen and binding it into bigger molecules.

Making nitrogen would be an impressive achievement for anybody, never mind a plant. Probably easiest is to make a lot of hydrocarbons with deuterium substituted for the regular hydrogen, and pack that around a source of free neutrons. The neutrons would lose energy to the deuteriums, and end up slow enough to be absorbed by the carbon nuclei, which would become nitrogen after a few steps. Also the deuterium would become tritium and then helium. Plants probably could concentrate deuterium. Where plants would get free neutrons is a poser; some plants will concentrate radionuclides from soil...

But of course there's already plenty of nitrogen in the air.
Surely that's a given?

It's literally sampling from a representative workload (production) vs a non-representative one (anything synthetic).
FAANG equity - like RSUs at any other stable public company - is almost as reliable as getting paid in cash. There is some risk, as with all market-based compensation, but the risk of $FB or $APPL going down by a few percent in a bad year is nothing like the risk of a startup being worthless, or the risk that strange fine print or tax trreatment makes your private equity end up literally worthless (or worse) even if the company succeeds.

The most important thing is that, with public equity, you can tell when it's happening. If you work for a public company and the stock price goes down, that's public information, and you can readjust your valuation of your future compensation and react accordingly. If you're getting paid in funny-money private options, that doesn't work for two reasons. First, the value of your future compensation can change without your knowledge (e.g., with the introduction of preferred investor classes). Second, the value of past compensation can effectively change post-facto if you're forced to hold options for a significant amount of time.
It's funny because even the Wikipedia links you posted explicitly mention Brownian motion modeling as the first practical use of such curve…
"For most of Republican history there was no formal law criminalising homicide: the Roman government was so deliberately decentralised that it did not see itself as a state which was harmed by private homicide. The murder of a private person did not affect the various magistrates’ power, and therefore the state need not interfere."

I like to consider myself a Roman History fan but this is a fact that shocked me. On a fundamental level I cannot conceive of a state that would take this attitude, regardless of time period. I tend to think people across history are more or less the same; I cannot fathom how a society would work when the government has this sort of attitude. This is probably one of the few things I've read about Rome where my thought is "My God they were totally different than us" rather than "My God they were just like us".
>AFAIK, most legal systems (at least based on the British legal system)

Just a nit: Most legal systems are not based on the British system. Civil law is more widespread globally and it operates in a very different manner in respect of the role of the judiciary.

I'd agree with your post if you restricted it to commonwealth countries, though.

> Which email metadata program specifically

There was only one in the leaks. That one.

> how do you know there's no other programs

If there were any, Snowden would have leaked those instead of a program that had already been shut down.

> how do we know it actually was reduced and not just changed codename?

Because laws were changed, and oversight was added that showed how many metadata records the NSA requested from the telcos.

> how you know Biden personally had anything to do with shutting it down

Does it matter if he was personally in charge or if he delegated? Collection of Americans'metadata shrunk while he was VP.
I don't know if it's useful to see it as a zero sum game. The sun is beaming practically unlimited energy out towards us (and a whole lot more that doesn't reach Earth but is still available eventually).

Even if it is zero sum: if we all stopped eating meat, we could pretty easily sustain ourselves. Putting it on population size instead of how that population behaves is not useful and frankly fatalist.
You can not compile a society's laws and get a full description of how that society functions and what it will collectively do in any given situation. Much more goes into that than just legislation.
Yes, that's why the first point is more controversial. But the second is interesting: alphabets that lack lowercase, like Korean hangul, have bigger characters but they pack more information into each of them.

Surely there are more but we are talking about a very limited number: Think top 20 athletes in any given sport. And considering the Pareto distribution(which I'm absolutely convinced is equally valid in this scenario), we are most likely looking at double digit numbers.

> they need good people who like though problems; 2k is nothing for those types however

Many people of that type work at universities for comparable compensations. E.g. 50% E13 position at TU Berlin gives you monthly 2k pre tax. If you spend lots of your time to improve the public good, you'll still need something to put food on your table (unless you are financially independent of course, but many people aren't).

How are white composite fillings helpful in dealing with teeth issues?
White composite fillings helps in improving the teeth which are damaged due to cavities. Dealing with dental issues is not that easy thing. It is essential to have dental treatments. There are a lot of people who have white composite fillings for a very long time. When you have lost your tooth due to cavities, white composite fillings are a great thing to fill the gap.

It is a tiresome process. I attempted to submit a particular package (and others before and after me). It was either met with a lot of red tape (IIRC document licenses for each file individually) and months of no visible progress when comments were addressed.

This was in stark contrast to e.g. contributing to nixpkgs. Do a PR on GitHub. The package gets built automatically by CI. Get feedback. Make changes to address the feedback. And it gets merged. Of course, PRs sometimes go stale (most projects are dealing with a lack of manpower), but the process is generally fast.

But the outcomes are radically different: I never attempted to contribute to Debian again, but I have become an active contributor to nixpkgs.

I think to attract developers the process needs to be modernized. Put all the package definitions in a Gitlab monorepo. Build each PR in a sandbox on CI. Describe the submission process on a single page.
I'm not an expert on any of this, but I've been keeping a close eye on the legislation as I make most of my income as a contractor. From what I can surmise, there is still a lot of confusion among everyone, including lawyers, on how the language in the bill should be interpreted. They are supposed to be having webinars to help the public understand the impact it will have on them, but I have no idea when those will be or where they would even post that information.

Sorry I can't help you more, but keep an eye out for any info on the webinars.
My understanding of the mechanism for getting yachts quickly under Stalin is that if you gave someone a large pile of money, that was clearly bribery, Взятка. If you gave someone a large pile of money and a few bottles of vodka, then it was just a tip, merely Brassica oleracea.
