The problem with open-core licenses is that you always have to weigh the risk of whether the feature you depend on will get pulled into the paid license, pegging you on a release forever without updates.

If you look at the direction of most popular products that are open-core, you have a spectrum from ElasticSearch (Slightly hobbled, the free x-pack features that you WILL use in production put you at risk of dipping into paid uses and in violation. running Amazon's fork/open distro is strictly better) to Neo4j (completely unusable in a production context without a paid, mega-expensive, cost-of-a-nice-house-per-year license. No clustering, can't be effectively monitored, none of the tuning knobs that you will need as your dataset grows).

Open-core licenses are entirely hostile to the spirit of OSS and just pay it lip service to delude the ignorant.
I would highly recommend reading this collection of essays compiled into a book titled "Einstein's Theories of Relativity and Gravitation"
There was a competition for anyone to explain Einstein's work for the layman and a lot of people wrote essays to win the $5000 prize, this book has the top essays that were chosen and really helped me get a grip on the idea of relativity.

Switching to electric cars will make the life better for most of us. Even ignoring the fight against climate change, they don't emit bad smelling and most importantly toxic exhaust, create much less noise. In most cases, they drive way better than ICE cars.
I did not say it's just Facebook and I said that the court can rule many times. I did say that the court would have to rule every single time. And if speech on the internet wasn't centralized the way it is today then the court would have to make as many decisions as there are people making the same statement. That would not work effectively if the expressed opinion was backed and expressed by many people in many places.

And let's not forget that the content of the opinion in question is not one on which a fruitful political debate can be built, you f ps ;) If it was, the court may have come to an entirely different conclusion.

I do not want to defend the court's ruling here and I have too few insights into the Austrian political landscape to understand how (in-)adequate this decision might be. But the fact remains: If I live outside of Austria but my website is reachable from Austria, I can write whatever I want and have nothing to fear from an Austrian court as long as I am not trying to take my website-business to the Austrian market.

They may decide to block my IP inside Austria but that would hardly be global censorship (even if it's still an issue worth fighting over).

The whole "people couldn't care less about FB" talk really takes this to the wrong place and is making me tired as long as you misinterpret everything else and repeat my own statements as if it was a counter-argument.

> as long as you buy a system with known good Linux support

And that is where the problem lies. With Windows I can buy pretty much any laptop and expect it to work with. With Linux I have a limited selection of laptops, if I want it to work fully. I'm a developer and I know my way around Linux pretty well, still I usually run into "missing drivers", "package management is broken", "hardware working mostly but not fully" when I try Ubuntu or Debian.
Has WordPress.com done this before? If not, that is one new thing. But yeah, overall there's not much new to say. Adding another company to the list is nothing novel.
I did something very similar with an old strategy game called Age of empires II. Over the course of two years I went from a 1300 rating to 1850. I don't play chess, so it's hard for me to compare the scales, but I will say the highest players were rated around 2600. I think being 1850 put me around 90-95th percentile for active players-- there were less than 50 players over 2300, and only a few hundred over 2000.

My only real commentary is that trying to follow a progression like this can be profoundly, profoundly frustrating. You need to really make sure you're enjoying this hobby before you try to dedicate yourself to a trajectory like this. It can really make you feel like shit a lot of the time, as you find yourself continually repeating mistakes that other people breeze past without issue. It takes true love of the game and a great deal of patience and persistence to push through all the downspells.

Eventually I decided that I no longer wished to prioritize the game over other things. The enormous time investment was no longer a worthwhile trade-off for me, and I stopped playing almost all together. I haven't regretted it since. There's just so many things to do in life. I gave it thousands of hours of my time, and now the door is closed on that. Now I'm learning Ruby on rails!
I'm an Ozzie. When the TPAA died it was pretty clear the Chinese were rubbing their hands in glee. Trump had handed them the Trump card in trade negotiations, as it were. This is from 2017:

https://rymndp.wordpress.com/2017/01/26/us-withdrawal-on-tra...

It's funny how it's all turned out. Trump ditched the TPAA, and along with it all those onerous copyright laws everybody hated. So we got a nicely watered down version. China steps into the void. But now on the day the RCEP they championed is signed, China ups the ante on the trade war it's having with Australia. They've banned just our wine imports, and threatening iron ore is next.

https://www.msn.com/en-au/money/markets/r/ar-BB1b2NMT

The trigger for this trade war? Our prime minister called for an investigation into the origins of COVID-19, right after Trump intimated it was bio-engineered by China and they were engaged in a cover up. Right now China is engaged in what looks to be genocide against their Muslim population, the Uighurs, egregious breaking of agreements with the UK over Hong Hong, threats to Taiwan, destabilising "Island Building" in the South China Sea, and we choose to take a principled stand over a ... conspiracy theory.

I don't know what it feels like in NZ, but we Ozzies feel like we are living in interesting times.
It doesn’t make sense that it wouldn’t be contagious in Italy for all of that time until a major outbreak in Wuhan. If it was truly in Italy in September in 4 different people, it would have exponentially exploded long before the first wuhan case.
If I may source the same website from the same year (https://www.forbes.com/sites/tjmccue/2019/03/19/47-percent-o...) so many more users do not use an ad blocking solution. Google analytics for example is among the most used trackers. From checking ublock origin menu alone I would say probably twice or thrice as much as anything else. Every silly blog employs that shit. So now we can go figure about how much understanding users have of how tracking and ads work, how much more awareness and consistent behavior we need.
The ICE40 is about as close to this as you can get. A lot of open source tools work with them, and you can find boards being sold by companies that generally specialise in the Arduino ecosystem. Unfortunately not open hardware, but that's unlikely to happen anytime soon.

You'd never want to build anything production-quality with one, but they're decent enough for hobbyists.
Funny, one thing one hears in these discussions in Germany is: reducing the amount of CO2 emitted in Germany isn't affecting climate change in a measurable way. Now replicate this in most other countries... One has to start and other nations are going to quickly join in.

That's what I just discovered, too, using Android Chrome.

So, out of curiosity, I switched over to Android Firefox and turned on "reader view." Much better!

The choice of `ch` is clearly inspired by English, but the other common alternatives (Nihonshiki, Kunreishiki) are not self-consistent in that they paper over differences in pronunciation. To be consistent you need to represent ち as something other than `ti`, so then why not `chi`?

At this point anything other than Hepburn and Nihonshiki/Kunreishiki is a non-starter due to lack of familiarity, so I would be happy if everyone would just get on board with Hepburn.
I would say that the more parsimonious explanation is that:

a) they've got a model that has learned that people who buy X tend to buy X again, and

b) they don't have a model that can properly distinguish between classes of X for which this is true and classes of X for which it isn't. They are aware of the problem and have made several attempts to fix it over the years but the results have never been sufficiently compelling to incorporate into the actual recommendation model in prod
I am not saying it isn’t true what you are saying, but do you have links to the companies that were collectively ‘torn to shreds’ over similar issues?

I have seen this argument a few times now without any references.

Were, for instance, Microsoft or Amazon torn to shreds over similar claims?
If vacuum sellers are willing to bid top dollar to advertise to people that just ordered a vac, who is Amazon to say they are wrong? Maybe they are betting on a dissatisfied return by people that clearly were in the market for a vacuum. Maybe the transaction isn't data that is available to the bidders.

Advertizing works. even on those thar believe themselves immune.

Far more smart systems already exist and are already used to sway people on a large scale.

The smartest system might not be the most profitsble for the intermediate add platform owner, so in those cases you might be on the receiving end of 'stupid' adds because it means more profit for the platform owner.
Yeah, sure, other countries don't have such laws. And your laws are clearly working very well considering the events this year.
First and foremost, sound. I tried to get mixing -- simultaneous playback from different programs -- to work, spent like half an hour on trying to figure out and gave up. On Windows, it works out of the box, so half an hour was more than generous allotment of time.

Next, sleep / resume. Has never worked for me on Linux; at the work place where I used Linux, I just let the machine run overnight. That would be a no-go at home, as I sleep in the same room.

When I got a new machine, I installed Linux only to check that the HW was working and to download Win installation. The kernel had only experimental support for the chipset and integrated graphics (Intel, Skylake just about came out). I had to enable it with boot switches, after which I was able to start GUI (X). However, the GUI randomly and completely froze the machine, a hard reset was required.

I also think that audio mixing didn't work out of the box.

I also tried copy/paste for the fun of it, it did work this time, but only if I managed to guess the "correct" clipboard.

Thanks, but no thanks. $100-ish license that I paid for Windows Professional has paid itself out immensely with things that "just work" out of the box. My time is worth way more than $100.
I would be interested in which use cases you see for cars, that in 2030 cannot be provided by electric cars?
> The things that annoy me about Linux are the lack of system upgrade options, you basically have to reinstall from scratch every time...

Run a rolling release then like Manjaro or another Arch based system. I’ve been running the latest release of my distro for years, never had to reinstall.

Also, there are plenty of free backup apps for Linux like Deja Dupe or Back-in-time. I don’t really bother with them though because all of my important stuff goes into git, even my dot files.
True, but NAT-T is almost a given if one of the endpoints is a laptop or mobile device these days.

Also, UDP and ESP can almost be used interchangeably for this discussion (flow control, congestion control, segmentation etc. or a lack thereof).
I'm trying to have a discourse right here in the open, but you keep evading the topic and burrying your head in the sand.

I've been very transparent and upfront. I value democracy, reason, liberty and equality above all else. I have good reasons to do so, one of which is that its proved itself historically to create some of the most peaceful and prosperous societies. But I also have phylosophical reasons for it, such as believing that individually we're better off working collaboratively on equal footing with others, than in a constant battle of the fittest for supremacy. And as I brought up the individual, I believe that individual rights are very important to stability, and should be respected even against a majority, for the betterment of each individual and society as a whole.

I don't believe anyone is of lesser worth and value than me, that would go against liberal values to do so. It's quite the contrary in fact, I'm strongly against anyone who'd try to suggest A is lesser than B narratives, or A is more deserving than B narratives.

Now being against someone doesn't mean I believe they are lesser, but simply that they are a liability to what I value, thus a risk towards democracy, reason, liberty and equality. And I am prepared to hope to change their minds, or go to war for it, if it came to that. It would be quite unamerican not too:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" - United States Declaration of Independence

Edit: And just so there's no misunderstanding, I'm not talking about democrats or republicans. I'm talking about liberalism and democracy. I don't have any issue with any political party who'd simply disagree on how best to uphold liberalism and democracy in practice. But I will have issue with one who tries to destroy democracy, take away my liberty, increase inequality, and employ illogical and irrational justifications and strategies. And I'm not saying the republican party is trying to do so, but it's never been less clear to me if they are or not then now.

TCP does have retransmission, but it was designed for networks with very low packet loss and where most packet loss is due to congestion, so it does not react quickly to packet loss and when multiple packets are lost it slows down dramatically. TCP typically uses an exponential backoff in re-transmission times to avoid exacerbating congestion.

When dealing directly with UDP, one can implement different application-level logic for dealing with packet loss: "NAK" packets, different backoff strategies, and even forward error correction.
You seem to be suggesting that humans only prefer certain smells (eg a nice perfume) to others (dirt and sweat) because advertising has created this desire. I don't believe this is true.
"in 1994, 6.3 per cent of cars on the road were over 13 years of age...(in 2019) the percentage of vehicles over this age is 19 per cent."

"according to the research, the average age of all cars on UK roads has increased from 6.7 years in 1994 to 8.3 years in 2019."

https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-8739771/Bri...

So the average car is getting older, but still far from 12 years.

That would be a reason to require electric outlets at each parking space a bit earlier than 2030. And of course, not every car is electric in 2030, hopefully only every new car.

One of my favourite tools is plus/delta. After a meeting, or a talk, or a presentation where I have been involved I ask my fellows two questions:

1: What was good about [this event]?

2: What could I have done better?

I try to avoid using negative words, like bad or criticism. It is important to get some feedback that has focus on self-improvement.
This is what I've been telling people as well. We're not the country that can deal with adversity anymore.

During WW2, people sacrificed steel so that industry could produce the weapons we needed. Now, there's a rush on toilet paper, for little discernable rational reason.

Distrust of science is increasing, and rationality decreasing. Soon, we'll have anti vaxxers marching against any covid vaccine, crippling our pathway out of the current mess. Memes and sound bites dictate public discourse, no one is reading anything.

The most concerning trend is the de-emphasizing of the importance of college for today's youth. Yes college is not for everyone, but to actively campaign against it is going to be a destabilizing force against the US' technical and engineering prowess in very short order.

The trends seem more and more clear by the year, and I don't see it slowing.
I do understand and sympathise, genuinely, but I think this approach is what has held India back for the last few generations. Just look at the speed with which China has modernised over the last 30 years in comparison. Protectionism freezes an economy and society in place.

Yes this policy helps some rural families, but it also condemns all the other rural families to getting only variable quality, intermittently available, expensive dairy products. Every protectionist support for a local industry imposes a cost on everyone else, to the point where everyone benefits a bit from protection, but also pays costs on all the goods and services they themselves consume. It may even be sustainable, but only at the price of sacrificing the chance of a better future.

Change is painful, no doubt about it, but opening up to international markets can also mean opening up to international investment, technical skills and partnerships. It needs to be coordinated and there should also be transition plans to mitigate some of the pain. I do believe it’s for the best though.
I ain't mockin nuffin.
It does make it through many firewalls these days, yes.

But all implementations I know use a much shorter timeout/keepalive period for UDP than they use for TCP because of firewalls/NATs. (I think the RFCs even recommend something like 300 seconds for TCP, but only 30 for UDP as a default?)

This has pretty significant implications on power consumption for mobile devices.
Not casual dismissal, no "fuck them".

Just: This ruling is not about censoring the internet. It's about keeping a huge actor from publishing a type of content.

My point was that it is a problem that so many people are dependent on the standing of this single player. If Facebook it outlawed somewhere, this silences everyone on the platform.

And not to forget that it gives Facebook the ability to promote or censor content as much as they want. But they wouldn't, because they're all about free speech. Phew!
Because I enjoy using things I find aesthetically pleasing more than things I don’t.

It’s one of the main reasons I left Sourcehut. No slight intended — I think Drew has built something really useful and I’ve even submitted a patch to fix a design bug. But ultimately I prefer GitLab’s visual polish.

> But 99% of that latency in the above 490ms figure is the extreme distance of the satellite, and not whether or not one site is slightly further down the sphere, as viewed from a theoretical observer sitting on the satellite.

Path length varies from ~34500km to ~42000km (~115ms to ~140ms). So, assuming an ideally placed teleport, from 115 * 4 = 460ms to 115 * 2 + 140 * 2 = 510ms speed of light delay on round trips. This is why I said I found 492ms to be an amazingly over-precise number. Just call it 500ms. :P
Most recently I got a cheap HP laptop with some online caveats. But it actually works nearly perfectly, better than most versions of Windows I've used. I started using Linux desktop eight years ago and it's only gotten better (and I've always gotten random bargain PCs).

At an Elo level of around 2000 they converge. (I.e. both lichess and chesscom calibrate their algorithm to match on-the-board standards around that region.)

For various reasons, online Elos are inflated by 100+ points if you go above 2500+ or below 1500. A progression from zero to 1750 rating is just as instructive if you assume he went from zero to 1650...

I said that based on experience as a travel entrepreneur. There is a sentiment in investors about travel being a cold market, and many arent interested outright(regardless of traction).

Airbnb was an exception given they had good people backing them (PG et al) just based on team and they competed in a different segment and that they had enough funds to actually show repeats and retention (something many others lack). It did spawn a few clones all over which got funded, but folded very early. This indeed helped Airbnb in later rounds as they virtually had no competition.

> There's plenty of investors for software as a service.

True when the Gross Margins are 60-80% and not about 5-10% as in case of travel.

> tech services like AirBnB and TripAdvisor are competing with DIY search

Travel planning is an experience in itself, and hacking those prices/places gives a dopamine hit which no app can compensate for imo. People like to try out the app and use it once, but the retention for these apps are low. Users tend to forget about these apps next time they travel.
Apparently Naver has been providing funding and office space for VLC development. (I was told so by a friend working for Navers Europe division a couple of years back)

I wonder if there has been any pressure or influence from them to steer the project in that direction.
Not a bad summary of a very complex topic, but one key takeaway is missing: for all practical purposes, despite not being a formally anointed standard, Hepburn "won" the romanization war. It's used in Japanese passports, road signs, railway signs, all major newspapers, JNTO (the tourism org), most textbooks, etc etc.

In second place, particularly in informal contexts, is wapuro (word processor/computer/mobile phone) romaji. "jya" for じゃ is neither Hepburn, Kunreishiki nor Nipponshiki, but it's probably how the average Japanese would write the romaji for that if asked to.

Legit Kunrei/Nipponshiki, despite its notional official status, is dead: nobody writes Japan's tallest mountain as "Huzi".
"Reader view" on Firefox is one of the best inventions ever ;)
Unfortunately, this isn't generally true. There are great hybrids like the Toyota HSD system, which do save some fuel - still about 4 liters per 100km - but a lot of the hybrids are just for compliance and when run on their main engine, they don't save fuel, sometimes even use more as they are dragging all the electric stuff with them.
