There is at least one SaaS tool for this (that takes its own cut too, of course) - the name escapes me - but rather than require that the change requestor put up the full sum, it allows multiple people to chip in ('+1 I have this problem too', but with cash) so rather than sort by #people affected as some projects do (proxied by +1s on the original post in the issue usually) they could sort by #currencyunits that the community is willing to pay, which clearly isn't necessarily the same as the issue that is annoying most people.

I think GitHub also marks that a commenter (or issue opener) is a 'Sponsor' if you use that system.
Looks nice. Although one thing I personally moved to is to have the templater/manager be actual code in the repo. Mine is written in Go. (https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/dotfiles/blob/master/magef...)

I always found templaters or managers to not do some one thing and extending the tool to do the thing wasn't always nice.

I'm not American but my non-political echo chambers have gotten quite political. Chess, Infosec, Atheism, philosophy, reddit, etc HATE trump for example. Then I have other echo chambers that tend to love Trump. Personally I'm neither side as I'm not American. I also enjoy looking at both sides and it's remarkable how different the viewpoints really are. The echo chambers worked exactly as expected, those places that hated trump only hear about things that are terrible about trump. Nothing negative about Biden at any point. Every single Gaffe by Biden was portrayed as completely fake as deepfakes or old footage dubbed over etc.

Generally speaking my echo chambers leaned anti-trump. The one thing I failed to find in the last 2 months is any actual discourse. There is absolutely no neutral viewpoints. There is absolutely no discussions between the 2 camps. The political divide in the USA is worse than I have ever seen it.

The perception I have, that wasn't a free and fair election. What's even more curious is that nobody seems to care. Ends justify the means. Which hey, I personally very much prefer Trump to lose. However, if healing the political divide is a goal, that's basically impossible now.

They say that every time they talk about vaccines but if you look at articles like this:

My belief is that contact tracing is a cultural non-starter here. There are people who protest with large, semi-automatic rifles because they don't want to wear masks inside private businesses.

There's absolutely no way they're going to trust a contact-tracing process championed by the government, even if there's no way for the government to access the data.

I suspect much of the population will continue to ignore the virus and winter weather will cause a spike that will cripple hospitals.
On one hand you're right to be concerned:

* The largest chilled supply chains, for things like frozen food, don't get anywhere near -80°C

* The question of what to do in poor countries is very much unsolved

On the other hand:

* Developed countries have at least some cryogenic supply chain in place, for things like fertility medicine.

* You can get a surprisingly long way with couriers transporting insulated boxes full of dry ice (or liquid nitrogen).

* The prize on offer here is absolutely huge, because lockdown is so expensive. $10 billion a day buys a heck of a lot of couriers.
Yes - jailbreak the phone.
The software engineer in me makes me very weary of this. All of our historic vaccines came from very bad circumstances and they were tested on people without any real guards, starting with Jenner's famous Horsepox treatments.

I'm fine with this vaccine being available for people who want it, but as someone who is low risk, I really hope this doesn't become mandatory. A lot of people aren't old enough to remember the Swine Flu vaccine and all the complications from that.

No one is talking about the safety here and that's disturbing. I don't see how a vaccine can be listed as safe with less than a year of testing. Traditionally it's an 8~12 year process.

Yes, without encryption, they have that possibility, after they prove probable cause. Without getting into a debate whether that is appropriate, it is important to keep in mind that it is the citizen's right to privacy of conversations is the more fundamental here. The government does not have a right to snoop on everyone's conversations, they simply have this possibility in certain situations.

So, for me, this changes nothing.

The number in this specific trial is a 90% reduction in cases when comparing a vaccinated group to an unvaccinated one. So, if for example 10% of the unvaccinated got COVID in the trial timeframe, 90% effectiveness would mean only 1% of the vaccinated people did.

So no, they can't do what you described.

Unless he also repeals recent executive orders around H-1B pay, the these visas are not going to result in "cheap workers" per this rule change.

I feel the same way. In the early nineties a corporation got in touch with me, they said they were working on a Java IDE and could they ship some of my source as "example projects". I thought about it for about six seconds and said "Yes please!" I think they even mailed me a CD-ROM at some later point.

At the time I was thinking "Yay! I'm famous! My code is good!".

Over the years I've seen some of my code, not much of course, end up in other big projects and I'm a little proud, and a little pleased. The fact that the company got the money and not me? Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

I write code for me, and if I get bug reports that prove other people used it then I'll try to improve things. Money just isn't a consideration, although I have linked an Amazon wishlist in a few places over the years, and received unexpected books/films which make me smile.

The permission system on Android is still severely broken.

If you track over time, which that site doesn't show, you'd see that "number of users" isn't much of a factor. There are a bunch of popular apps with shitty security practices that have cheaper bugs than less popular apps with better design practices.

This is a great way to measure "attacker utility". That is, it's not only a measure of how rare some of these bugs are, but how useful they are to attackers.

Chrome bugs have been significantly more expensive than IE bugs since long before Chrome overtook IE in popularity.

>We do not know yet.

Sure we do. mRNA vaccines have been under development for over a decade now. And while none have been approved for human use yet, it's not for lack of safety data. There have been zero serious adverse events reported in the Moderna or Pfizer phase 1, 2, and 3 trials. The only side effects are mild fatigue, headache, and soreness that you would associate with an immune response. Furthermore there is no possible way that the vaccine can even cause long term effects; the mRNA breaks down naturally in the body almost immediately. Any side effects will be immediately present and related to acute immune response. Worrying about some vague long term "what if" problems that have no mechanism for action is just non-scientific magical thinking.
Old data doesn’t make it invalid. I think it’s pretty reasonable to assume soil with more nutrients in it results in food with more nutrients in it (at least within a reasonable set of values). I think it’s also worth checking that food that is modified for growth and resistance factors is still as “nutritious” as before. Do you have any references to your claim that organic food does/does not change health outcomes?

I didn't vote for Trump or Biden. I am talking about confidence in the process. GOP workers were thrown out of polls in PA and NV. There are due process violations. There are 6,000 votes that went the wrong way in one MI county due to software "glitchs" and that software is used in 45 counties. At least 7,000 dead people have voted in Michigan and officials are finding more all the time.

I am concerned with the integrity of the process. I have never believe US elections were fair. I would prefer they were. The irregularities here are massive. PA literally violated an order from Justice Alito going into this election, and that cause will very likely go back to the Supreme Court.

I know you want your side to win, but do you want it at this cost? The integrity of the system is in jeopardy. The media doesn't decide elections. There is a process, starting with certifying the results, electors being selected, those electors voting in the capitol and the House voting based on those electors. None of that has happened yet, and we've never had the news media "call" an election with this much up in the air.

I feel for him being in his tough spot, but let's be clear on what faker.js is. I suspect many companies (like mine) use it to create "decent"-looking data for tests. But we could trivially do without it, and basically just used it because it was there. I contrast this with some other open source projects we use that we specifically contribute to (using GitHub donations) because they are central libraries to our code base.
Using what for raw materials? Sand?
Yeah you can be the smartest person on earth, if nobody listens to you then your advice isn't helpful to society. Not your fault, to be clear, it's society's fault, but that doesn't change anything about the helpfulness. A lot of people give a lot of proposals for how something should be done. What will tell you that the proposal is good? Especially if you are a politician who isn't educated in computer science.

Agreed that the WebAssembly spec is a pain to read. I mostly used this outdated doc: https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/BinaryEnco...

Apple has also been steadily increasing the prices of new iPhones. I don't know if this is enough for them to make up the difference on lower sales, but it's surely a factor in how many people buy iphones.

I also really don't really understand the attitude that this is a problem. Apple could half their current sales numbers and still have a massively profitable business that most people could only dream of. As long as that lower rate was sustained then there isn't really a problem for the company.
> it’s extra hard when you get no additional value.

I believe this, the identification and the articulation of additional value, is the problem with FOSS sustainability, and it's urgent that we resolve that.

I hope I am onto something with the idea of crowdfunding specific commitments, as I have sketched there: https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-project/message/3735cd917...

The mental model behind this is quite simple, and I hope that once adopted, it will avoid a lot of unproductive behaviours and expectations on both sides, of the producers and the consumers.

It's strange that there's so little crowdfunding happening to deliver free and open source software. One of the very few prominent examples is https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andrewgodwin/schema-mig...

Basically I believe in offerings which promise specific qualities (timeliness of responses and bugfixes, roadmap features schedule etc) and cover the costs of development (including market rate salary for the developers according to their skills which they use to develop and manage the project).

I am currently developing this with the aim to roll out my first experimental offerings.
I am keen to help others to adopt this approach, so everybody is most welcome to reach out to me with any questions.
I live in Greece and only buy seasonal produce because everything out of its season is choke full of pesticides, plus they don't taste the same. For example tomatoes in September are sour, while if you buy them during February they're sweeter. You can also tell by their shape, produce grown in a greenhouse looks in a far better shape than the one grown in the field, because the latter is exposed to weather condition and it takes a beat on its surface/appearance. As a general rule of thumb, the more uniform a vegetable/fruit appears the less tasty it is.

Other than that, there are plenty of guides on the web regarding what to buy when. Just make a search for "seasonal vegetables and fruits" and you'll find a lot of infographics.

> What's the point you're making? There's a lot of proprietary software that's

> - high usage - high protection - high profit

> What's the argument that OSS software (which you could use for free indefinitely until you gain profitability) is somehow not capable of the same?

Software that meets those criteria also has an organization that spends quite a lot on sales and marketing. Stimulation of usage and extraction of revenue doesn't happen on its own.

More explicitly, if an already-profitable organization can't use the software without paying on day zero, quite a lot of effort has to be expended to get them to make the leap, hence the long enterprise sales cycle. You can do it with just marketing if you keep the purchase price low (ie. below what a department manager is allowed to spend using a corporate credit card).

Open source can circumvent this to an extent, but to do so it has to allow businesses to use the software for free, and convert a percentage of those users to paying voluntarily.

Whether the mechanism of conversion is consulting and customization services, hosting services, support services, dual licensing, an 'enterprise' version with specific features, or something else is immaterial, they are never just paying for exactly what they were getting for free. The closest a business will come to that is employing developers to work on the open-source software, or at least allowing employees to work on the software during work hours.

The specific licensing-only approach you're outlining will only work in a very narrow case: A new unprofitable company starts using the software for free, and starts paying once they cross over to profitability (at which point they might decide to switch to using something else, instead). Note that there are some very large VC-fueled companies that have yet to be profitable. Convincing an already profitable business to pay at the outset just can't be done without the aforementioned marketing and sales.
