I'm sorry, but you seem to absolutely refuse to keep the concept that Pelosi only wanted nothing less than her 2.2 trillion dollar bill.

So yes, they have refused to pass anything less than Pelosis bill for months.

And now it's taken so long that your complaint about McConnell is mute right? because it's not going to happen for awhile now.

You can't complain about McConnell delaying it without complaining about Pelosi.

Obvious logic. She has more leverage now that Trump lost, but she wanted more leverage with a blue wave into congress. she didn't get it though.

Reminds me of Nokia laughing at Apple's 1% smartphone market share in 2008.

To me it was obvious the moment I saw a review of the iPhone on YouTube after launch that everything else was just made obsolete. It didn't matter how many more phones all the other companies were selling compared to Apple - they were all about to become obsolete.

It took Blackberry like another 4-5 years to realize this, too, because they were still seeing a lot of growth in other countries where the iPhone and Android devices weren't selling yet or people hadn't heard much about them.

There are issues with micropackaging functions and code, and the fact that they didn't exist as a concept when the JavaScript language was being designed may contribute to that - but I don't think that it's clear whether micropackaging will turn out to be a good or bad trend overall.

Hundreds of thousands of untested, unaudited implementations of a roughly-similar function _could_ be far worse in terms of overall ecosystem stability and security than a small number of frequently-used (albeit yes, potentially flawed and vulnerable) micropackage dependencies.

The outcome for each micropackage may depend on how much scrutiny and test coverage is available when updates occur, and how well-defined the package's API is.

In a sense, that's not hugely different to version upgrades for other, larger library dependencies. Incremental library changes tend to be easier for developers to audit and integrate, so perhaps eventually this is a better approach?

In my opinion Microsoft (via GitHub and NPM) are likely best-placed to make significant progress on evaluating and improving the situation.

When a micropackage is updated, they're in a position where they could run continuous integration tests not just for the package itself, but also for dependent packages, to gain an early sense for the correctness and disruption potential of the change.

That kind of information would be useful to make a micropackaging ecosystem more viable and healthy, although it would also increase the ecosystem's long-term dependence on Microsoft.
Play Services already calculates some kind of security score for the phone based on whether it is rooted etc. and banking apps have access to that API.
"That's a problem" - why do you call it a problem? An artist (say lady Gaga) made a song that can be played on repeat in bars and not annoy customers, keep them entertained. Why is it implied that her music is of lower quality that niche artists?

"other than because their music is so great." There are multiple ways to measure music. One of them is how touched you are by it, to each his own - and this is why niche artists are "niche" - because there are so many unique ways to make special music.

There is value in music that appeases to everyone equally. You will never be able to play niche music in a bar for prolonged periods (unless it's a special bar).

This is kindof like the difference between a ferrari and an F150. The truck does it all for everyone. A single ferrari is more special and more expensive than a ford, but in the end, you cannot argue that Ford the company sells more cars than Ferrari, which is why they deserve a larger stock value.

You can write any license you want and claim it's an open source license. It won't be OSI approved of course and, you almost certainly won't build a meaningful community around it but there's nothing keeping you from creating one.
I believe we need a way to charge companies of any size for the value that they generate out of using open source tools as part of their SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, etc. offering. If your cloud makes money by hosting an open source project as a service, that open source project should be entitled to a share of the revenue.

And, actually, we already have something quite similar, but I predict it won't fly with open source communities, most of which hate it unequivocally:

The "property" is the quota, the proportion of the total allowed catch of a species. As you say quotas can be bought and sold, so they are ordinary property.

Yeah Mitch McConnel is my biggest worry. He can keep on blocking until Biden loses support. Our government is hell bent on preserving their egos that they often don’t do what’s best for their citizens.

I don’t expect much to change this time unless there are drastic changes on how decisions get made. Or if Biden can appeal to the few republicans that actually do care about their constituents over being Mitch McConnel’s sheep.

This is the first time we have shared the pathological version during this election. Great leaders choose to take responsibility for their negative impact and commit to growth. We help people choose that every day and have served many great tech leaders startups and companies. Of course there is a LOT of detail not included in this short blog.

And yet, the point you’re making is itself entirely political (just pointing that out). Many would disagree on the premise that it’s not the government’s job to be involved in any of those things. And that’s just as valid as your viewpoint.

Also: downvoting something only because you disagree with it doesn’t help anyone. In fact, it’s one step on a path towards more oppression, not less.

Maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong, and we'll never know. Either way, your comment tears down the initial commentators memorable and positive experience, for a non-sourced based claim. To me it came off as more insensitive than insightful. Especially given the subject matter of this thread.
I think someone who says they are into politics or a “politics nerd” means to say they enjoy following the human drama of scandal, who is winning, who is unpopular etc in the same way some people follow sports teams, which is fine but does not interest me. Its interesting that we have a completely different term- a “policy wonk” for someone who is knowledgable about policy. I feel like I can care about policy without caring who represents me.

This is why politics are so prone to corruption. Because democracies depend on people caring about the local and macro implications of policies driven by their representatives.
I understand people who don’t care about politics because they don’t trust the system. I also understand those that don’t care about politics because they don’t have the education to form political opinions.

But those who think not caring about politics is some sort of intelectual position that can be defended through the same means of political advocacy are not only the most cynical members of a society, but also the most dangerous since they often become opportunistically political when is their time to be affected by public policies.

Is definitely OK to not voice your political opinions and only cast your positions through vote. That’s is definitely OK. But saying that is OK to not care about politics, is why politicians are capable of governing for some and not for everyone, without consequences.

Right. My point is, the WebM solution was not needed to fulfill customer demand (just like Flash turned out not to be needed either). Customer demand isn't "give me WebM" - it's "give me high quality video in my mobile browser that doesn't kill my battery."

I think there's a difference between "not caring about politics", and actively avoiding political discussion and influence in the news and social media. I care about politics and about the policies of the society in which I live. But I have removed every bit of political media and news from my life and my daily mood and outlook on life has increased dramatically. People will say yeah, because "ignorance is bliss". I'm not ignorant. I know what's going on in the world. I just choose not to be inundated in it all the time. The news, even (maybe especially) local news, can never make you feel good. It will only ever make you feel bad, or scared, or worried, or confused, or disheartened.

That's not my point. If you live in a HOA and don't care about the governance of that HOA then you are a slave to the HOA. The HOA may be a benevolent dictator or a malevolent one but you are their slave.

edit: The same applies to government except you don't generally get the choice to not live under a government (or the cost of moving is massive). As I see it, over longer periods of time being a slave is unpleasant even if it can be cushy in the short term.

125Mhz is the frequency you get with 100 base tx. It's basically the baud rate of 100mb plus the 5 bits to encode 4 bits overhead. 100 * 5/4 = 125.

As you mention, this is toggling the expected 125Mhz on and off. It's not noise, it's "the signal".

Back in the 90s we had cookie confirmation things. A browser called konqueror even had it on by default. Every time a server tried to set a cookie you got a chance to say no, etc…

For users it was as awful then as the experience is now.

The people who made this law seemed to be under the impression that sites would react by removing cookies. This is naive or plain stupid. Instead what we have now is that every single site has a popup saying "Lorem ipsum" (nobody reads this), and you have to click "fuck off" to get to the content.

I would LIKE to say that all this law does is annoy people. I would like that, but no. Instead what it does is train literally billions of people to click "fuck off" (actual text is usually something like "I agree", but what the user means is "fuck off, I'm trying to read the article"), without reading what the box says.

ACTUAL security problems now, or ACTUAL choices, now cannot be warned about. Because if users were not good at reading actual meaningful warnings before, they sure as hell don't read them now.

So not only is this law (1) not helping, people still have cookies. It's also (2) annoying absolutely everyone every day, with up to four "fuck off" buttons users need to click per page load, and (3) actively hurting via huge externalities, as described above.

Oh, and for extra bonus on a weekly basis I run into websites that chose to simply block users from EU IPs, presumably after a ROI calculation. Thanks, EU.

What do you mean take control? He already has control of the entire nuclear arsenal of the US. He's had it since he was inaugurated in 2017 and he'll have it for another two and a half months.

But more importantly - yes, you're being paranoid; it's very unlikely that it comes to that.
And that has changed now?

Hacker News tends to be pretty good about people not just downvoting posts because they disagree with them. However, that goes out the window when the discussion gets political.

I'd be really interested in seeing the numbers for upvotes and downvotes on political topics vs other topics. I wouldn't be surprised if you could train a classifier to spot political articles based on this distribution.

Linux isn't a BSD, and it isn't run like one. The only positive thing I can say is, if you prefer the way *BSD is it remains a completely reasonable option in 2020.

> can be played on repeat in bars [...]. Why is it implied that her music is of lower quality that niche artists?

Well first of all, it's illegal. Spotify's TOS disallows you to play your 9,99 subscription for an audience of more than a usual household amount of people. If you're entertaining a dozen guests or more 365 days a year and for commercial purposes, your part should be quite a bit more than ten bucks a month.

And so I get that people are unhappy that their individual subscription money goes to the entertainment of restaurant guests, background noise for a workplace, etc. because of the way plays are counted.

> to each [her] own - and this is why niche artists are "niche"

Sure, I'm not saying that we should pay all artists equally right? Not like anyone above a certain (low) threshold of monthly playbacks should earn a minimum wage to support the niche ones. No, what people mind is that the money they pay to listen to artist B is instead sent to artist A due to a side effect of the revenue distribution model.

Artist A gets more playbacks not because they are better but because of, so to say, a runaway effect of being popular. Those popular artists would already earn enough if this distribution model would be on an individual user basis, but the current distribution system causes even less money to go to niche artists despite having plenty of fans listening to them. It makes it harder to earn money with niche music, which would be a negative effect on what I think you value as well: each can have their own.

Spotify doesn't seem to support your favorite artists as well as you might expect from paying for Spotify and knowing that the money goes to the artists behind the tracks you play.

Erm looking that "F150" up on image search (I don't speak car and driver), it looks like a huge asshole car. If everyone would drive that we might as well pick up and leave this planet. Also I don't get what the comparison is trying to tell me.
