If you're going to dismiss the majority of my arguments and points, as well as reality in favor of your own framing, then you're refusing to debate in good faith.

Epic's lawsuit is immaterial, imo. We don't know how the courts will decide. Rather, what's being debated is what a hypothetical open iOS will look like. Even if they lose the lawsuit, Pandora's box has been opened. Years of developer dissatisfaction and corporate strategizing has called Apple's dominance into question, and we are now examining potential futures if Apple opens up. I don't believe a forced opening on Epic's terms is inevitable, nor is it the only model for opening up.

One can even imagine a scenario where Apple opens up on its own terms. Perhaps they provide SDKs that allow the creation of third party app stores with stringent security mechanisms built in, and license that out to partners. They certainly have the resources to undertake such a process, and forcing such stores to pay a license fee would both allow them to recoup on lost revenue and allow them to maintain a level of control over their platform. Epic would scream but again they're neither the first to cry foul over the App Store monopoly, nor the last. If the bulk of the developer grievances can be sidestepped by Apple themselves, Epic would then truly just look like a litigious rent-seeker, rather than a company that's accidentally doing something that's helping the little guy.

How about the gaming market, especially over the past decade. The rise of Steam, the presence of somewhat niche alternatives like GOG.com, GamersGate, Humble Bundle, (I believe Blizzard was the major publisher with their own digital distribution store early on), then the sudden proliferation of other publishers from EA to UbiSoft and now Epic.

Does it require significant overhead for developers to support multiple stores? I'm sure it isn't free. But is it significantly detrimental to them? I'm not sure. Valve has been criticized over Steam's former near-monopoly of the gaming digital distribution market[0]. At least the present situation gives them alternatives to work with. The AAA publisher stores are often derided, but more from a consumer standpoint than a developer perspective. Having a ton of game installers and store accounts to manage is a pain. It's definitely not frictionless. But again, you're arguing on behalf of developers, and I'm not sure if they're unhappy with having more choices than just Steam.

> There will be exactly the same platform, but a whole load of additional predatory business to deal with.

Again, you have to provide examples in other segments where Facebook, Microsoft, et al have successfully created trouble for developers by offering them (and developers) more choices.

I’m saying the mere presence of a potential conflict of interest dont matter to me.

I’m saying I dont care if there is some way their current predilection can be seen as disingenuous because they made a bunch of money or maybe have a new company that can make a bunch of money.

Those are the things I dont care about
Moving cows is done today (as has been done for thousands of years) by calling them with, e.g. your voice. A lot of herds will come home on schedule without you even calling them.

I'm an undergrad student, and I already spent a term (may-august) remote at school with my cohort, is it meant for people to connect with anyone else at their school, or in the same courses. I like the idea of same course.

We used Discord, how does your tool compare to that? Because in Discord you can have "rooms" as voice channels, where people can casually drop in/out and have spontaneous chats in the message channels.
hi there! thanks for the detailed comment.

yes, remove.bg is awesome. we're still actively improving our edge detection, and hope to have new improvements ready within a few days.

could you share sample images that didn't perform well? then we can see if the new training data and model changes helped.

> "you rent it, you don't own it"

At least it's clear that you don't own it and if/when the service vanishes... have keep nothing.

Unlike many recent games/apps where they require being online to use... then when the service disappears - even though you own the product - you're screwed!! That pisses me off even more.
We occasionally spend 20 min on Tuesday and Thursday, at around 14:00.

Looking at the link. It seems that it was beaten and someone received the money. Now, this is my reason for posting my idea here : it's to get feedback on it. It seems to be rather unlikely that I would come up with something better than teams who are payed to come up with those recommendation algorithms.

However, what do you think of the proposed idea. Maybe in theory it looks better but until I A/B test it I might never know if it's really better than what's currently out there.
You’ll have no control, will probably find it difficult to sell your shares at any price, and while you’re entitled to any dividends, the controlling entities (Sam wer brothers) can take cash out in different ways and never declare a dividend.
Vikings in Chichén Itzá. Wow. That would be pretty stunning.

> Could the Vikings who left a settlement at L’Anse aux Meadows have made it to the Yucatán Peninsula – some 3,700 miles (c6,000 km) south of where the Viking penny surfaced at the Goddard site? One of the murals at the Temple of Warriors, painted around 1000 CE, depicted a naval battle scene showing blond-haired men being thrown into the water.
MStream and MIDAS are more accurate than previous baselines for unsupervised anomaly detection. However, there can be scenarios where some labels (ground truth information) are known. In such cases, a semi-supervised algorithm might work better. We are currently working towards building a semi-supervised approach for anomaly detection in real-time.

To the best of my knowledge, MStream and MIDAS are the fastest and detect anomalies in real-time.
I could definitely be wrong. I'd heard about people with gambling problems losing everything they own. In the end, perhaps the same parts of the brain are getting triggered.
I did some video work this year for Nedap out of the Netherlands who have cow collars that track heat detection and health issues. e.g., they’ll track reduced movement or tossing of the head, rumination, etc. Coupled with smart gates at the dairy, they can isolate cows automatically to health pens for review, etc.

One dairy we visited had robotic milk machines running all night. The cows return as needed and the cups automatically find the tests, check for disease, track milk volume and so on.
Yes, and I also remember a time when people were afraid that someone might be listening in on their conversations at home or being watched by their TVs.

Today people think those things are features and pay for them for some reason.
Education is never a straight line
Bob Martin put it best: "Software projects are marathons, and in a marathon you don't want to sprint."

I do think it's useful to have some cadence for important meetings, but the arbitrary timeframe should not be treated as a goal or even something worth dignifying in and of itself. It's simply a tool, nothing more and nothing less, and we should expressly state its purpose and discard it in situations where it ceases to be useful.

I actually do like the default Agile meetings, but I think they're usually implemented haphazardly. I would prefer standups at the end of the day so that they run no risk of destroying the context of a programming task or block me from starting my work day. I like IPM/sprint planning to refine stories and make sure they're ready to work. I like having a "definition of done" to create a shared agreement of what my commitments are and whether I've met them. I like retro to evaluate how we're doing as a team and to improve processes and working culture. I like technical retros to share learning and troubleshoot architectural problems and identify useful areas of research.

All of these things are great when done well and for the right reason. All of them can be sources of misery when they are done ineptly or as mere formalities, with no underlying sense of purpose.
I hate to respond just to say "thanks!", but this was interesting and you taught me two things in a handful of sentences. Thanks!

I hadn't heard of L-Theanin and Cacao before, but their blog post [1] describes why they matter:

====L-theanine====

L-theanine is a calming amino acid found in green tea. It activates alpha waves in your brain, which are present when you’re in a state of wakeful relaxation. Your mind isn’t totally at rest but you’re not processing a lot of information or tackling any big problems. (Think meditation, right before bed or in the shower) Alpha waves are essential for creativity.

The cool thing about L-theanine is that it relaxes you but it doesn’t sedate you. Mix with caffeine and you get the “zen-like” focus AND the caffeinated motivation.

Increased creativity, better task switching, no jitters. The benefits are endless. Seriously, do some Googling. It’s an incredible combination.

====Cacao====

Daily caffeine usage can cause blood vessel constriction. Less blood flow limits caffeines effect on brain activation. This is what leads to chronic tolerance and dependency out of fear of the dreaded “crash” from withdrawal.

Cacao, meanwhile, INCREASES the elasticity of blood vessels and facilitates more blood flow to the brain, which results in more efficient thinking. Crazy, right?

In addition to stopping you from feeling less stressed from the magnesium and potassium inside Cacao, the mix of beneficial natural compounds like serotonin, endorphins and phenylethylamine (a compound humans produce when in love) combine to create mild feelings of euphoria and happiness.

Regarding his book, yeah I saw that, but I hadn't considered that as a possible cause of my observation as well. Well pointed.
Yea, we did stand-ups Mon, Wed, Fri, which tended to be a good balance. Still able to let people know what you are doing, but not having to be forced to do it everyday as if you are children.

Well there are three classes really. (1) Criminals who got caught. (2) Crimes that were obviously committed, but were never solved. (3) And crimes that were performed so well that we don't even know they happened.

I think you would be very hard-pressed to create a large scale drug marketplace in category 3. Thus we can look at ratio of 1 and 2, to see how clever criminals are.
> That said, the hearing aids vendor lock-in is really atrocious and can use a disruption

Agreed about the disruption in this space.

> They don't like users configuring the aids themselves

I get the feeling most users don't want to configure the aids themselves, and even if they did, wouldn't feel comfortable doing it or don't have the ability or audiology knowledge needed.

Later on you mention how helping with hearing loss is not quick or straightforward, which seems to support that the default of encouraging sessions with an expert is right approach, at least to start.

> It restricts customers who find that Timescale is unable or unwilling to support them in an agree-able manner from paying some one else to manage it for them.

It restricts Customers from going to a Timescale-as-a-Service provider, but I don't see how it restricts the Customer from contracting to have a third-party support the Customer's Timescale installation (or to make changes to the codebase as a work-for-hire).

I agree w/ your assessment of their new license insofar as it being proprietary. Their old proprietary license made the product unacceptable for my use, but I am comfortable with the limitations to my rights with the new proprietary license. It has enough "right-to-repair" and ability to avoid vendor lock-in to make me feel comfortable that I could maintain a private fork of my use case was dependent on their software.

Edit:

My first paragraph was a quick-and-dirty. The child post is absolutely right. The license restricts Customers from providing Timescale-as-a-Service services.
This whole site is dedicated to articles on how to reach the Staff Engineer level (i.e. on the IC track, above Senior Engineer).

From the site's front page:

> The transition into Staff Engineer, and its further evolutions like Principal Engineer, remains particularly challenging and undocumented. What are the skills you need to develop to reach Staff Engineer? What skills do you need to succeed after you've reached it? How do most folks reach this role? What can companies do to streamline the path to Staff Engineer? Will you enjoy being a Staff Engineer or toil for years for a role that doesn't suit you?

> The StaffEng project aims to collect the stories of folks who are operating in Staff, Principal or Distinguished Engineer roles.
Stand ups are supposed to be good if it has a focused purpose but eventually it morphs into a “I’m continuing to work on X and no blockers”. Then everyone resents what a waste of time it is because the team basically knows 80% of what everyone is already doing. Or the blockers/issues/new features they have won’t be sufficiently explained in the stand up, and everyone pretends to understand or care for it.
It doesn’t seem like they are obligated to reinstate the content
You would think this would be a fairly logical extension of Newell's game delivery system (Steam) too.
There might be some miscommunication.

The quote isn't literal about your children. Weather we as individuals choose to participate or not, our lives aren't an end, the story continues with the royal our children.

Either we: (1) set them up for success at our expense; (2) set them up for success at no expense to us; or (3) set them up for failure to benefit ourselves.

Sadly so far, too many of us as individuals have been choosing (3). Hopefully enough of us as individuals have been choosing (1) and overall it balances to (2). However, currently its looking more and more like in aggregate we are ending up with (3).
Like I said, I dont find your cognitive dissonance relevant enough to want to do that research for you. If you do research it, I hope the filter bubble Google put you in lets you get access to this version of reality.

Do you have any evidence that Amazon is using some secret Safari API that Google and Microsoft can’t use?

Netflix and Hulu had the same deal from day one reportedly.

Do you think any business makes the same deals with other big players that they make with small players? If so, you’ve never been in the room when CxOs are making enterprise deals with companies like MS and Oracle.
You can always convince yourself something is evil enough. ICE has a lot of support which at least means it's not universally seen as evil. Making a decision to not work with someone who represents widely accepted views/policy is the definition of politicizing.

Same goes for military. If it should be a purely defensive force it one ensuring global interests is a polarizing political issue. It's not simply evil or good.

> You have to learn to like it.

This is absolutely untrue.
I disagree. "source available" already has a long established meaning, and one that it far more restrictive than the TSL.

The TSL actually lets you do a lot - almost anything, really. It's an open source license (I even used little o's!) that is designed to only prevent cloud providers from selling TimescaleDB as a service.
What about the AGPL?

Wouldn’t it grant “the right to study the code running on your hardware, the right to make modifications to it, the right to distribute those modifications” and provide protection from FAANG profiting without reciprocating, while being OSI and FSF approved?
This is clearly not true. If it were, developers and consumers would prioritize Android.
could you use the technology in regress to control humans through other humans?
It's human. Mistakes can sometimes be really subtle and require only a moment's inattention but sound REALLY dumb when you look at it in fundamental terms.

Christ, trained CIA field agents with funding and support staff have made some really stupid mistakes en par. Things like being tracked by metadata from not turning off their cell phone because they thought a chip bag was a good enough faraday cage. Ostensibly it sounds dumb, but that might have only been one time for 20 minutes or something that allowed the Italian investigators to connect the dots.

Perfect security for a short time period with one incident is actually still really hard. When you make it a lifestyle going on for months/years, it's nearly impossible.

Poppycock. For the first 50 years of the nation, only 6% of the population could vote. White, male, landowners.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_voting_rights_in_t...

The founding of the nation was built on compromise. The direction ever since has been to greater equality. To more representation. To form a more perfect union. Senators used to be appointed by state legislatures until 1913. Would you advocate for a return to that? Neither party used to have primaries as we know them today. Would you advocate for a return to that?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_pri...

A republic just means that we elect leaders who pass laws, instead of voting on those laws directly.

The EC was a compromise just as much as the 3/5ths compromise.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-Fifths_Compromise

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Electoral_Colleg...

The last two presidents elected by a minority of the vote have been an unmitigated disaster for America. The EC has enabled that. The EC serves no useful purpose anymore. We should abolish it or work-around it with the National Vote Compact.

As far as the Senate, 53 Senators currently represent 15 million fewer Americans that the other 47. I think that's that's a problem. It tilts in favor of the GOP today, but tomorrow it may tilt in favor of Democrats. I would still think it's a problem.

The 26 smallest states make up only 18 percent of the population.

We can mitigate it by adding DC and Puerto Rico (should they so chose) as states. DC and PR residents are Americans. They should be represented in the Senate.

But I suppose, if I were around at the nation's founding, I would have been a Federalist.

Relevant piece on the Senate with some astute observations about why it used to work (TL;DR: compromise) but no longer does, and the danger of minoritarian rule:

I completely disagree. As a developer, standups have always ended up devolving into the bane of my existence, and now I only work for companies that don't do them (or at a minimum, allow them to be async).

Not all of us enjoy being micromanaged.
But they probably also lose a lot of money from all the people who now won't need to upgrade to a paid storage plan.

Considering data stored for a long time and very rarely accessed is effectively free in a modern datacenter (since disks are all IO limited not capacity limited in cloud deployments), I reckon they're losing money with this change.

There's a good chance they're doing it because their lawyers have told them to - clicking the "send to trash" button could be considered a GDPR deletion request, and if Google leaves that document in the trash forever, they could be found in breach of GDPR rules.

I am using this quite successfully in Micro (https://github.com/micro/micro).
