You cannot be working on FOSS 24/7 and also be working on a side project to make money. If it were that easy, many people would do the simple side project and then skip the FOSS part altogether and go do something fun.

FOSS is what you can do when you're no longer tied up in the mundane day to day tasks of running a business; when you have employees who keep the business processes you put in place running while you simply make high level decisions and provide capital.

And of course these small kind of businesses rarely last forever. Instead of thinking long term, think of this small business as a temporary opportunity to extra value from a market while it is still there. Eventually the opportunity is exhausted the way a mineral field gets harvested and you must find a new opportunity to mine. There's not much time to do both things well.

My advice to developers who want to build FOSS for a living is to make money from the software itself by providing implementation and consulting services around it. This way your interests align well with the things that pay your bills, and you can excel at both simultaneously.
They renamed/rebranded (reprounounced?) themselves as "parlor" rather than "parlay" probably since MAGAs all pronounced it like the former.
Is this the endgame of the attention economy? If I show you a picture of a cat and evidence of an existential threat, which are you most likely to pay real attention to?

Donald Trump attacked illegal immigration specifically: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2016/aug/08/tim-kaine/...

Also, he attacked accepting refugees from certain high-risk countries (which had been designated as such by the Obama administration).

He didn’t say “immigrants bad.”

> Kaine has embellished the controversy by saying Trump has said "all Mexicans are rapists." The Democrat doesn’t come close to proving his claim; all of the Trump quotes Kaine’s campaign sent us pertain to unauthorized immigrants crossing the Mexican border into the U.S.

Also, it’s not like Clinton didn’t spend four years “disputing ... democracy.” See: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/hillary-clinton-trum...

> Hillary Clinton dismissed President Trump as an “illegitimate president” and suggested that “he knows” that he stole the 2016 presidential election in a CBS News interview to be aired Sunday.

Journalists can’t help allowing their point of view to influence their reporting. But when someone can just pull up as transcript and say “well he didn’t really say that” that damages the credibility of the media. Even if what he actually said was wrong or bad on its own merits. This is what drives people to alternative media silos, and that’s bad because people are no longer operating from the same facts.
This article is true in the kind of way if you limit crispr to crispr as it is now, and puts on blinders on imagination.

It's very similar to someone saying: The Penicillin Antibiotic will never be used widely to directly treat disease, while not knowing that in the times after its discovery, we would figure out how to mass produce this antibiotic, and then come up with whole groups of penicillin-like and non-like and synthetic antibiotics that today, are critical to the survival of the human race.

Just wait a few decades and this article would seem quaint.
If consumers don't drive to get their food, over time their insurance should come down. It should come down more since a restaurant delivery driver can make multiple stops on one optimized route vs a customer just going to the restaurant and back, but once you factor in how much more dangerous scooter delivery is vs car maybe this doesn't hold up.
They degraded in that 4 years(2-3 at time of incidents) time, and when put under stresses, they caught fire. Tesla vehicles are not configured to avoid stressing their packs, therefore users were not made aware of degradations.

Isn’t this simple enough and correct enough? I’m tired of their social media native ads. Let’s keep it simple.
A very, very few places offer it at the table. Most places I’ve been to in the last few years do not offer it.

I agree with the conclusion, but daily fuel consumption isn’t the right thing to track.

Indeed, indeed. If it's not about the principled and unflinching protection of free speech, then what is it about?

I've said it about twitter and I'll say it about parler. Freedom of association is also a first amendment right. Speech is being exercised by the owners of a platform when they edit/curate/annotate posts, and association is being exercised when they ban/shadowban users.
Just a note: "Shouting Fire in a crowded theater" is protected, since Brandenberg in 1969. The standard is that you can't incite imminent lawless action, and people trying to escape from a fire isn't "lawless".

I don’t think there’s any secrecy left nowadays with Apple’s hardware, just a theatre. Their presentations are the least surprising of all tech firms - partly due leaks part due to super conservative feature development (if any).
So, the pea grew faster towards a thinner support, but why does that mean it grew less accurate?
When "free speech" is the primary selling point of a social media website, it tends to only attract people who feel slighted by the platform they're migrating from. Unfortunately this has the opposite effect of Parler's stated goal of being "the world's town square" since it simply isn't attractive to people with opposing views of those who did move.

I think free speech is important and I think that social media platforms can be a bit overzealous in their moderation of the content of its users. I just don't think you can sell a platform on it alone. It should be a feature of your platform, not the only thing going for it.
They're helpful for certain things, like cold bread (15s is great, 20+s is too much).
The deck ovens used to bake bread would be challenging to use for other types of food. You could perhaps bake some bread in a combi oven, but it’s going to be much slower.
That kinda works the same, because most of what they're offering is made from bulk, cheap staples that doesn't require that much labor. (Assembly of a sandwich is pretty cheap and you let soups simmer away.)

Most restaurants are not turning out food that is both extremely cheap and fast to make in high volume.

> Now you can afford to hire talent.

The end goal of business is making money, not hiring talent.

Managing people is like herding cats. There are many business owners that do not want to herd cats.

Nothing wrong with that being your personal aspiration, but it is a dangerous mindset.

Seeing hiring as the end goal, can result in you raising overhead because you want to build a fiefdom well before you really need employees.
Since it's a tech forum I always assume we're talking tech money.

This is very well said.

Here’s an article specifically talking about how fashion brands destroy their own products to drive up prices: https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2018/9/17/17852294/fashion-bra...

Amazing how pretty much all tech companies get away with same arguments when they try to protect their monopoly

Apple - "we want to keep it simple to our users"

Google - "AI doesn't have any control over data we've collected"

Facebook - "Every company is spying on their users"

Amazon - "we control mere 10% of global economy"

Salesforce - "you can ‘easily’ export your data from our completely proprietary platform"

There's a reason tuitions have risen so high and it's largely been cited as the ratio of admins to teachers as being at least 10:1 when it used to be much closer.

I personally blame cheap gov subsidized credit for this quickly forming trend, which only took ~2 decades to have a devastating effect on students who come out of school without a degree which can somehow pay back such debt (which we in STEM are fortunate and I personally dropped out early).

Agreed.

Call home features can be spoofed by a poisoning type of attack upstream in various forms.

This is not bullet proof and a cop-out with a poor solution for security.

You know who has effective call home features? Vendors that sell to major enterprises. It is a natural progression and a particularly nasty environment to live within.

If they are legitimately trying to protect the brand through force or merely forcefully controlling the app ecosystem... it's an abusive relationship to be in.

The fact this is not configurable without dead lettering the route is all they need to do to show tethering is something they consider as a viable security measure.

There will be a lot of datapoints supporting that “law”... the problem is that it’s subjective.

Everyone hates “education bureaucrats”, but if the mission is educating children, at some level the state of the institution is critical to that mission.
That's not really the type of information offered during a reference check. Did x employees actions on this project result in a 27% increase in engagement?

A lot of places only give yes this person worked here between those two dates.

The person giving the reference would be in no position to answer in many cases.

Legally a company doesn't want to get sued because they told another company the person didn't hit 27% when they might be able to prove they did.
This is certainly a line of thinking. Of course the alternative is:

1. Tech platforms were too slow with limiting extremist viewpoints

2. Instead of keeping extremist views isolated, this allowed them to pick up more support. These groups continue to move more and more extreme, and more popular.

3. Delays in taking action to prevent the spread of these views allowed the combination of extremism and popular support that empowered people to make outrageous claims.

Of course, the presidential bully pulpit being used to stoke these ideas didn't help. We could argue about which of these mis more likely all day.
Then who will have the power to decide what free speech needs to be suppressed? Let's give it a thought at the options available:

A) Government. Some years liberals will supress conservatives, when the power is switch conservatives will supress back. The whole concept of free speech was specifically designed to not have the government dictate what you can say or not say.

B) The press. Which one, CNN or Fox News? The trust on the media is an all-time low and they clearly have earned that reputation.

C) The judicial system? Again, most of them are appointed by the government.

D) Tech lords. I really hope no one is advocating for this.

I am not American, I wish to live in a country where I can criticize anyone, even the President, without fear of getting arrested for a bogus claim of defimation. Is sad to see that most Americans don't value their own freedoms.
On reddit, these reasons you mention are selectively enforced and often actually made by people trying to get the subreddits banned. Bans are also familial: reddit tends to do “ban waves” where they also ban similar subreddits, irrespective of whether they have rule violations or not. There’s no communication; no appeals; no “you got this wrong”.

If you’ve ever participated in one of the banned subreddits; you’ll know “hate speech” or “doxxing” are a big fat lie. WE are the ones getting doxxed and brigaded!

It’s not too different to police using marijuana laws to target Black communities. In a free-to-join community of thousands to millions of people, you will get people breaking the rules. Moderators clean them up. The only difference is unwelcome viewpoints get their subreddit banned with this as the pretext.

I personally don't shy from mentioning rough base salary range first though it is against popular wisdom. I let the companies know this is my range for base and its flexible based on the offered equity. Because of the base + equity splits I can bend whichever lever companies are comfortable with.

I really like the nxp sdks, what wasn't rated here is how well written the sdks and peripheral drivers are. My experience with nxp was really good. ST SDK is good as well but has these two different levels to it that add confusion to creating software.
Not the parent, but I read the book, and the principles have become so common nowadays that I never really had a wow moment. It was more like "Yeah, this guy is telling me things I already know." It is nice to see the common knowledge built up from scratch, rather than just automatically accepted the way it is, but I wouldn't consider the value you get from the book worth the time, today.

The messy, volatile human element is the product of the calculation process. Lets say you want to know whether consumers should spend $20 at Chuck-e-Cheese or $200 at Walt Disney World. You can let them spend their money and see, and some will be happy about their choices and make the same choice next time, some will be regretful and make different choices, and some will be on the margin and either conclude that they are regretful or satisfied because of psychological and social factors.

Now imagine that you simulated all these people and determined that 70% of them would prefer Chuck-E-Cheese and 30% would prefer Disney. What do you do with this information?
My easy fix for that was to use Tasker to disable my Wireguard tunnel when on my home network and enable it again when I'm not. The official Wireguard app has Tasker integration, so you can use it to manage individual tunnels if you like.

I don't believe Clinton ever attacked the integrity of the election process itself. She did claim (and as far as I'm aware the investigations more or less supported the claims) that the Trump campaign colluded with foreign governments to influence the election.
I had severe depression for a few years that became debilitating at the start of 2020 causing me to be unable to socialize or work or do anything but sleep. I was a terrible friend, parent, spouse, and employee. I tried multiple anti-depressants and therapists, but nothing helped. This august I found a psychiatrist that also did ketamine treatment and it was a miracle. Literally the day after my first treatment I wasn’t depressed and have had zero depressed feelings since. It was surreal. Depression had define my life for so long. I wish the treatment was more accessible, but unfortunately it is very expensive and not covered by insurance.

"Same rules for everyone" countries: the archetype would be England after the civil war, where it became established that it didnt' matter if you were related to the King (or were the King), the law applied to you also.

(Of course there are varying values of "everyone." Most countries pretty much excluded half of the adult population until recently.)

For "family first" countries: this is the default mode for humans, so pretty much every country at one point or another. Nigeria and India would be two ountries where it's important to be related to the right people. India's caste system further reduces opportunities for many, perhaps most, people. For more extreme examples: Yemen, Afghanistan.
