I bet breaking DRM is legal in most parts of the world. Good luck to any company trying to sue an individual for breaking DRM.
"Article 6.4 of the European Directive mandates Member States to ensure users can benefit from the copyright exceptions. This means that countries must have some kind of process in place to allow citizens to make copies of DRMed works." (https://fsfe.org/news/2019/news-20191113-01.en.html)
Unfortunately in US the corporate has lobbied so hard to make EULA, DRM and others enforceable by law.

You would be surprised how many contracts DON'T have this "severability clause" because an idiot did some C&P and did not know what he or she was doing.
Withstanding stress is a sufficient good reason.
When you need to deploy a security fix with a deadline of a week ago, it has to go smoothly; and it's going to go smoothly because everyone involved knows how to update everything reliably and efficiently.

> now I need to spend an hour guiding them through the update process

The update process should consist of deleting site-packages and Python binaries, installing Python, and running a simple script consisting mainly of "pip install x y z" steps. Or nowadays replacing a whole Docker coffin with an updated one. Can you elaborate on the required "guiding"?
Killing people is hardly the only issue. Rendering large tracts of land uninhabitable is extremely expensive. All told 4 nuclear reactors have had major issues, 2 subs and 1 power plant run by the USSR, and then another one very recently by Japan. Plus several near misses.

That’s a significant percentage of total reactors ever built including what was considered a safe design. We could go 1000 years without another incident, but from an insurance standpoint what would you charge a new power plant next to NYC? That means you need them in an a less expensive area, but everyone feels their area is valuable. That causes vast NIMBY issues and heavy regulation.

In theory modern Nuclear should cost less and be both clean and safe, but people gonna people both inside and outside the industry.
It was complicated quite a bit by the fact I never lived there full time:

It's not just a matter of publicity — the non-profit / NGO sector is a vector for oligarchical / corporate political influence.

Corporate lobbying is a problem. People who can't seem to fathom that political litmus tests among employees are an intensification of that problem are useful idiots for power they claim to object to.
This seems overly abstract to me, but we need better tools for these kinds of things!
Yes, which can be interesting to both leftists, rightists, and whatever other directionist you might wish to delineate.

It isn't politically neutral technology, sure-- but it's largely orthogonal to many other political concerns. This is good too, because an alternative money isn't particularly valuable unless it's useful to a broad spectrum of people.

I could easily imagine a cryptocurrency org that didn't have a culture of leaving your politics/religion at home -- at least to the extent that they didn't directly interact with your work-- could quickly become an extremely toxic and unproductive place.

Why Rick and Morty Were the Best Duo of the Past Decade
We're talking about flying. You don't need to go back very far (less than 50 years) to get to a point where the majority of people in western countries never took a flight. We're absolutely not talking about resetting life to what it was like in the 1700s. We might possibly be talking about going back to what it was like in the 1980s, where flights where mostly for the very wealthy or something people did 4 or 5 times in their lifetime, but it's more likely it'd be nothing as dramatic as that.
What would happen in reality is that customers in said affluent countries would face the bill, leading to less economic flow, while China and Co continue to produce the way they do.
I think a lot of the reasons for monopolies being allowed by American politics is because of how these companies are bringing in revenue from abroad. You wouldn't want to split Google or Amazon up because they'd be less of a threat to other countries local competition.
No, companies spend money to elect politicians who will favor them, and the fact that those politicians have to have positions on social issues as well is (for companies) an unavoidable negative. Hobby Lobby type companies with an active social agenda are a tiny minority.

Does the country in which you live have a status quo of the regular imprisonment, enslavement, and public executions of a specific race of people?

That's the issue in the USA, and "not taking sides" on that matter is, well, an issue, because it means you don't care about human rights.

It's artificial due to society treating child rearing as womens work. That's a social construct. In Scandinavia it's seen as an event handled by _both_ parents, equally. So both parents are expected to be just as absent from work as the other. This results in women not being singled out as a more "risky" employee over men. This is the default. That history has been cruel to women is no reason to treat what you describe above as the default. To assume that men need not take part in child raring before the child is ready for daycare is a sexist assumption.

You're treating a biological difference (the actual birth) of a few weeks as a valid reason for a much larger societal disadvantage.

Finally, child rearing should not be seen as a "loss of productivity" but as unpaid work, since without it, as you also noted, we would cease to exist.
I have a theory this is a consequence of tech companies wanting to move things online and become 'platform owners', leasing and ad-supporting everything rather than selling it.

After all, nobody would complain if the KKK had brought Microsoft Office licenses, any more than they'd complain if the KKK had brought food at wal-mart.

But many tech companies have realised how profitable it is to be Facebook or Github. They own the domain, their name's in the banner at the top of the page and the name of the native app, they pay all the hosting costs and make all the ad money, and they've put themselves in the situation where they can censor users.

When we in tech moved away from "we just sell the stuff, none of our business what you do with it" and made "what you do with it" the core of our businesses, we were walking into the realm of politics whether we realised it at the time or not.

Researchers are exploring ways to use people’s voices to diagnose coronavirus
The state of politics today, as a base layer under and inside everything, is such that politics cannot be kept out of work. Look at something very straightforward like Covid-19, an airborne disease. For reasons that I can't explain, attitudes towards this virus in the US are political, such that there is a strong correlation between one's view of the severity of this virus and one's attitudes towards the legal status of abortion.

A company deciding between "everyone work from home" or "everyone come into the office and sit in open seating" has to engage with the realities of what the virus is, which necessitates taking a stand on issues which are political.

This is doubly impossible for Coinbase since cryptocurrency is the most overtly political area of technology.
If you're trying to demonstrate just how ridiculous political polarization in the US has become, you're doing a pretty great job.

I would add some of those 1001 other issues include things Well educated and common sense folk “know” to be sound, backed by evidence and scientific research. I would cite the reproducibility crisis which is not limited to just social science but endemic in academia and corporate driven research. Further I would hi-light the “fake news” situation is not ideologically limited nor is propaganda or any individuals personal biases leading to a kind of myopia to counter examples and challenging ideas. Suffice to say it’s easy to throw stones at flat earth and trump but if you think somehow your primate brain is not as broken or fallible as the next person then you’ve surely been had.

The blog post he made, which was a whole lot of words to say "We're not going to say Black Lives Matter, so stop asking", was really something else.

I see a lot of people praising the "not taking sides" thing. This presumes a false two-parties dichotomy that is endemic in the discussion of US social issues.

Really though, you can choose the status quo of widespread human rights abuses in the US, or you can choose to speak out against it. Those are the sides, and pretending that it maps to the tired and ongoing US electoral culture brawl is, well, "inaccurate" and "misleading" at best.

Coinbase has chosen, but they've done all sorts of weasel words to avoid the appearance that what they've chosen is anything other than a vote for the status quo.

This is not about "discussing politics", insofar as who-to-vote-for, et c. This is about the (really quite political) issue of whether or not you're fine with the state of human rights in US society, or not.

It's a bummer that they've decided that they're fine with the current situation, because it really sucks terribly for a lot of people: so badly that many people can't just "go to work and ignore it".

To see people praising this viewpoint is... baffling.
Show HN: I built a plugin to get face-to-face with clients on your website
Heyhi started two weeks ago to scratch my own itch.
As CEO/Salesman of my agency, I was used to travelling and meet my clients. When COVID hit Italy I needed to replace this business dev activities with video calls on Zoom, Hangout, etc. (as most of the world did).

The problem with those platforms is that they are barren, far for my brand; they don’t create the right sales environment to comment on projects, services or support my customers.

So I built Heyhi, a real-time video chat plugin that let you increase your website conversion by getting face-to-face with leads that land on your website, sell your products and support your customers.

Ah, so these companies lobby for policies that have no impact on any social issues, like taxes and immigration? They have no effect on my life?
Something I've found about recent "activism" (not sure if that's the best word) is that the supporters act like it's not enough to acknowledge and agree with the activists aims, but that these aims must in fact be the most important issue the world faces, and if you're not 100% committed you are against them.

I think this 'My cause is "the" cause' has arisen as an escalation in the fight for attention. And I think it's a big element in peoples view that not taking sides is controversial - "if you're not choosing to focus all your attention on my pet cause, you don't care about X"

> I don't understand this "us against them" mentality because it leaves no room for nuance.

IMO it is just a rhetorical trick / social manipulation tool. On a landscape of political positions, there is a status quo area X. Who is against status quo is in non-X (complement to X). There is a side who wants to change status quo to position Y, which is a small and specific subset of non-X (which is necessary, because 'away from X' is not consistent position / direction).

The fair approach would be to negotiate with other members of non-X (and perhaps some border members of X) for political support and get some compromise position with majority support.

The "us against them" is just a way to manipulate (by guilt trip or other ways) members of non-X to support position Y, without giving any consessions for them and their positions. It may help for that goal if position Y is not explicitly stated, and the side is just marked / marketed as non-X.
The main problem is that:

- on the one hand (I believe) developers would prefer owning more open devices (like Librem/Purism, Pine64 etc.)

- on the other hand they want to develop for the masses, which means they will need access to Apple hardware.
