I agree. BSD just needs some benefit to use over Linux to consider the time wasted a good return. It used to be zfs but recently I just don't have it.
A stock is a voting right in a company, which among other things can be used to vote for distributing dividends to stock owners.

That is what gives it value to the purchases of the stock.

It is purchased because the buyer expects to earn more from it than they paid, and that they likely can pass it on later.

The value of stocks is certainly connected to real value, and it is one of humanity’s greatest inventions.
I literally dared you to complain about awful democrats and you absolutely refused.

you don't even know who they are but you're sure they're better. disgusting.
[This has been hinted at in various threads but I'm stating it clearly here]

A fundamental cause of political polarisation is social media. Tech platforms incentivised by advertising to increase engagement have (probably mostly inadvertently) become manipulation engines that have destabilised democracies.

I think at this moment in time the tech community should take pause to consider what we have done. We started with heady ideals and hopes, especially for the internet, but we have veered a long way from that vision.

As engineers, we have great power in this world. For the foreseeable future, our skills will be highly in demand and shape the future of humanity, in every area of society - from finance to health, from entertainment to politics.

If you work for a social media company, or a search engine, or any company that is reliant on adtech or high engagement for its income, then I implore you to think long and hard about how your actions may have contributed to bringing us to this point, and whether it is possible to change the course of your organisation or it would be better to leave.

More positively, the large social media networks are now entrenched corporations, and they have lost the advantages that startups confer. With sufficient imagination and hard work there are many opportunities to disrupt those companies with the compelling mission of making the world a better, not a worse, place.
It's great to see modern software engineers dealing with classical music!

It would be amazing if spotify could put some more love into their gigantic collection of classical recordings. Their autoplay feature often changes the piece in between movements, which is a torture.
Some database for navigating through all the works of a composer, sorted by significance would also be very helpful to discover new pieces.

I would also love to see more innovation in score management/recognition etc. Like seeing the score while you listen to a recording or being able to compare different recordings at a given bar. You could even teach music lessons if you can use it to easily compare home made recordings with professional ones.

I agree: if you only consider extra revenue, it's not worth the extra effort.

And yet, GNU/Linux is supported by many commercial games: Amnesia, SOMA, SpaceChems, Towerfall, Braid, HyperLight Drifter, Shovel Knight, Undertale, VVVVVV, Hollow Knight, Overload, WarGame Red Dragon ...

So there must be something else there than extra revenue.

> If we, or all nations, want to come together, our first step is to recognize the importance of the United Nations.

Interesting that the other response to my post (thus far) essentially argues for the opposite. That a re-emphasis on local politics would be preferable.

Personally, I think letting people go there own way as much as possible is the best course, and empowering the United Nations is pretty much the opposite of that. I'm not saying there isn't a lot of good stuff in the Declaration of Human Rights, but to have a super-ordinate body that is in no way directly accountable to the people over whom it rules, and which attempts to reconcile increasingly disparate cultures, will result in authoritarianism and war.
that's smart. full disclosure i created exactly your app but like 8 years ago. exact same purpose. if i did it now (which you have), then one avenue to consider is crawling closed captioning from the youtube video. you should be able to

1) find interesting content and note it on there

2) allow people to search for a spot to go to based on the closed captioning. that sounds pretty neat actually now that i think of it

3) if you wanted to get a little risky, you could watch where people scroll to/pause/get started at from the time stamp query and use that to determine popularity at a certain spot in the video

I'd be more willing to let is slide as a slip up if not for the surrounding context — both during the debate, and during the days following.

The whole premise of the question (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIHhB1ZMV_o) was his criticism of Biden for not specifically calling out antifa and other left-wing extremist groups, and whether he'd be willing to "condemn white supremacists and militia groups" and "say that they need to stand down and not add to the violence".

Mistake or not, he didn't condemn the proud boys during the debate. If it was his intent to do so, when it became clear that large portions of the country misunderstood his remarks — including the proud boys themselves — he should have clearly communicated his intended message, instead of dodging questions about his remarks for 2 days. (See, e.g., https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-pres...)

> Fuel leaks would be a disaster.

Not at all. Fuel leaks are a disaster today.

Ammonia is different. It will dissolve into water, get diluted quickly, and bacteria will degrade it. A fuel leak on an ammonia fueled ship is just like fish peeing into the water. Admittedly, a whole lot of fish, so it's still a local problem that takes a while to solve itself.

Likewise, a fuel spill on land would be a brief local problem. Today, if a truck spill its guts, we have to scramble to absorb the fuel oil before it contaminates soil or gets into the sewage system. With ammonia, we'd just flush it down with an excess of water. In soil, it is fertilizer, and in a sewage treatment plant, it gets biodegraded.
Serious in what sense?

A debugger can do anything. You can't outthink a debugger and shouldn't try.

Speculation is when you guess and need to have a guard in case the guess is wrong. They're describing a situation where it can't be wrong and you wouldn't need to speculate.

> Besides inherit a strong and growing economy

The bottomless debt and asset inflation Trump inherited was not a sign of a strong and growing economy.

How can you call a countries economy Strong when its lending its money for near zero interest? It’s a deeply flawed idea that’s not sustainable in the long run. Obama’s fed tried to placate this worry that the QE and low rates were temporary.

Well here we are. 12 years after 2008 and we are back to zero % rates and more QE that doubles the national debt every Presidents term limit.

The Truth is the economy began to show signs of cracking in dec 2018 with the yield curve reversal when Trumps fed tried to raise rates above a measly 2%. A healthy economy would not do this. The economy hasn’t been healthy since early 2000s
I'm going to brace for the Karma hit here, but this is piracy pure and simple.

Spotify is pay-to-play and the royalties model is designed around that. Artists/Labels get a a very small slice of money from every play. As a Spotify consumer you do not pay for the right to play the track offline - if you did, the Artist/Label would get a bigger slice. If you want to play the tracks offline, just buy the non-DRM MP3 from Amazon or some other place.

For people saying the Labels take all the money anyway, there are many independent artists on Spotify who deserve your money if you play their work.

Most of us here are hard working professionals in our fields - how would we feel if someone said at the end of each week, "Thanks for what you did, it's really useful, but I've decided to not pay you, but I'm going to keep your output anyway and use it forever." We wouldn't stand for it, and nor should music artists have to.
oh.. i assumed it was using the webcam.
I'm not referring to implementation bugs, I'm referring to choice of curve, which can't be changed after the fact.

Look at the table at the bottom of: https://safecurves.cr.yp.to/

Today, Curve25519 is a good choice because it's popular and checks all the boxes. But how many undiscovered columns are in this table?

My top level comment seems unpopular, so for what it's worth, I'll clarify that I definitely agree that there are fewer knobs for the non-cryptographer implementer to get wrong with ECC. But that's because the only way to implement an ECC system exactly as specified by the cryptographers. That's clearly an improvement over RSA, but I remain unconvinced that the cryptographers designing the curves are infallible. There are curves and curve parameters that, for various reasons, are bad.

Maybe there's a proof that it's impossible to do better than Curve25519, but if there is, I haven't seen it, and tptacek would rather be snarky than provide a reference. Is it impossible for more columns to show up in that safecurves table? If so, prove it. Otherwise, I think my top level suspicion is reasonable.
With reference to the definition of socialism: “any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods”

1. taxation takes the proceeds from the property - the higher the taxes, the more socialist.

Not a socialist issue, for instance Donald trump raised taxes by capping the SLPT deductions, and imo has nothing to do with the state owning the means of production.

2. Rent control.

Not a federal or Democratic Party policy issue, just a stupid approach to control cost of living. The real answer is just supply and demand, and to permit building. This isn’t partisan it’s bad policy and has nothing to do with the means of production.

3. California specifies the gender makeup of boards of directors.

That has nothing to do with the means of production and isn’t a federal issue.

4. Single payer health care.

Not a left vs right issue IMO any more than a socialized fire department or police department are socialist. This is evident in the fact both democrats and republicans love Medicare which is literal socialized medicine for folks over 65.

My personal opinion is that medical care does not fall under “means of production” and should instead fall under basic infrastructure which supports and facilitates the private ownership of the means of production.

> The US then shouldn't be such a popular destination for immigrants looking for opportunity.

This doesn’t prove or disprove anything. People often come to the US hoping they will do better than average. I suggested on average folks are better off elsewhere and your statement doesn’t prove or disprove that. Worse, immigration was basically wholesale suspended.

You're correct, but observably that's not where the political trenches are dug. The wedge issues for the past few years haven't been around "how do we best implement the science", instead they're around fundamental disagreements that the science even exists.

Moving the trenches such that the main problem was trying to decide what the implementation of the shared science-based policy should be would be such a seismic shift in political discourse that I don't think I can visualise what that world would actually look like.
> I'd much sooner get behind something like a single payer/universal coverage and kill off the useless insurance industry.

At least in Germany most people still have a private care insurance option because the free stuff doesn’t cover everything and it’s just as expensive as the USAs insurance so I don’t think the insurance industry will go away just because their is a single payer system.
The parent comment is concerning American domestic cohesion. A tricky problem in and of itself.

To your point, I'm not sold that all nations ought to come together into a unified state. Least of all beneath the banner of the UN, which has hardly shown itself to be apolitical (its very mission presumes a specific cultural and political end).

Articles 7, 13, 26(2), 29(3) are non-starters for much of the country (myself included). As I read them, they have significant implications for national sovereignty.

I’m not sure what you mean by context change. Is that where you have two (or more) items that are of different sorts (from different contexts or domains), where this difference between them makes it difficult to compare them and thus rank them in a list?
Thank you for showing us who you are.
Since this pandemic began, I’ve never understood this line of reasoning. I invite you to enlighten me.

Let’s say we use the governments force to close business down, in order to hinder the virus from spreading there.

When the government later stops applying this force and business can reopen with persecution, will the virus not just continue from where it left off?

In March they said “flatten the curve to not temporarily overload hospitals”, which I get, but the reasoning for keeping the forced lockdown only seems logical if you never reopen.

For this reason I’m glad my country is one of very few that never locked down. More have died here than in the neighbour countries, but I fail to see why they won’t catch up when they reopen.
I wrote an Electron app (started as just a local web server) to basically do this. The UI is kind of like iPhotos or any other photo viewer except you can split view as many times as you want and views something different in each pane.

Here's a short clip of 8 videos playing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK52DY6sq9U

or a better video starting from the basic UI, starting videos, zooming them to "cover" mode, and splitting and starting more

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gH9h3XGkFmc

Here's the app

https://mopho-v.org

You can also open multiple windows so if you have multiple monitors you can easily run one more videos per monitor until your computer can't keep up.

note: It's pretty alpha, several bugs, but I've used it several times a week, living with it's bugs, for a couple of years. Not sure I can justify fixing it up as I'm the only person using it AFAICT but maybe it will give others inspiration. The code I'm sure is a mess. It was my first React app (a reason to give React a try).

It also works pretty good in VR as in on Oculus Rift I open my desktop and manipulate videos and splits with the touch controllers as a mouse. No particular VR support, just saying that most of the features have clickable buttons so it's easy to use in VR.

A big limit is being Electron it can only play what Chromium plays (mp4, mkv, vp8, vp9). I've been wanting to look info FFMpeg in wasm to add support for other formats, saw the post yesterday someone had done something. I figured it might be too slow and that figuring out how to sync audio might be painful but it's still on my magical "someday I might" to do list. Since Chromium already uses ffmpeg it might be easier to just patch Electron to use ffmpeg with all features enabled instead of just the few that ship with Chrome.
They were a success long before Ruby on Rails. The article doesn't quite connect the dots, but they were so successful as a consulting company that they created Basecamp as an internal tool to manage their own products. And then Basecamp was such a hit with their clients that they sold it as a service. And when that service became a massive success, they open-sourced the framework they'd built it on. [1]

> Well, again - videos of poll watchers being denied access to polling places

Are you referring to the cases where the place was packed above capacity (and packed with both dem and good observers) and those wanting to enter had to wait for their turn to enter?

> videos of political material posted at the entrance to multiple polling places;

Are you talking about the Trump supporters getting arrested after picketing a polling place with pro Trump propaganda while brandishing a firearm?

I'm going to make it very simple for you: show any evidence. A primary source describing anything will do. Don't fabricate accounts or go with the "he said she said" approach. Each and every single case you vaguely referred to has been debunked and corrected, but apparently either you prefer to ignore facts or preferred to turn yourself off from the world. Show the evidence. Can you do it?
> A friendly minor correction...

Thank you. I'm no expert in ZFS TBH (We use Lustre much more) but, IIRC, when I was benchmarking the then new Sun Oracle ZFS 7320, I remember it was resilvering the disks after especially torturous loads, at night.

Maybe it was specific to the appliances (Our behemoth 7420 did the same) or, something was wrong. I remember Oracle/Sun guys jokingly asking me whether I succeeded to make it resilver the disks and, hearing it did indeed resilver the disks a dozen times visibly upset them. They've only said that "Pack it up, we need to go".

Fun times, it was.
The analogy is mildly inconsistent with what the OP was complaining about. The complaint is about the market being submerged with low quality knock-offs and automatically made products. The pottery story doesn’t apply because there’s no artistic craft learning curve involved in mindlessly running the tools.

Also, it’s not justified to assume artists didn’t practice and produce early iterations e between public releases.

Not to be pedantic but the headline should be: "A better way to manage your business". At least it sounds more natural IMO.

Other than that as the other comments said, more business information and transparency would be good additions if you'd like other businesses to trust you with their data, specially financials.
> Personally, I think letting people go there own way as much as possible is the best course, and empowering the United Nations is pretty much the opposite of that.

As in a Native American reservation type of self localized governing? That’s the only way I could see any good coming from separating each individual locality apart and attaching their own executive branch to it. We currently have 50 seperate states which almost govern in that way but they still must answer to an executive branch and that can be confusing.

Should one branch have a say in all local decisions? Who gets to decide on which person makes those decisions for all? My fear would be that governing completely independent of any other branch could also lead to authoritarianism: if one person persuades the locals they have the best mind to guide them through troubles, they’d ultimately have the final say in decision making once they gain their trust and the ability to govern.

(Apologies if formatting makes it sound confusing, I jumped off my laptop and am instead currently using mobile. Will edit to clarify any discrepancies.)

> And the scrub has to be initiated somehow, typically cron job, it's not automatic in ZFS.

The devices were Oracle/Sun ZFS appliances (I tortured a 7320, we liked it & bought a full-out 7420) so, maybe it was set up to scrub/resilver automatically in some cases.

As I've aforementioned, we're more of a Lustre shop and retired the systems some years ago.
