>ts been shown pretty consistently that higher agreeableness (more empathy) has a negative effect on salary, primarily for women

It's not just salary - it's every single negotiation you have in your life. Negotiation is the art of backing down carefully, not all at once, not being a pushover, not going-along-to-get-along. If you're an agreeable person, then you by definition don't push for your way instead of someone else's; and when you're in a financial negotiation, this is basically the worst trait you can possibly have, because your adversary probably does this more often and was specifically hired for being someone that is good at pushing for their way. The company wants to hire you for less money; the car salesperson wants to sell you the car for a higher price; and so forth.

There is no way of fixing this problem "systemically" across the board, because game-theoretically it will rarely be to anyone's advantage to take the first step in this direction.
In Germany Amazon is using third party carriers for the the first and middle mile of their own courier network, meaning the route from the FC to a sort center and between sort centers. That these trucks are Amazon branded doesn't mean they are owned and operated by them. This is not the core business of UPS and FedEx, so.
I don't understand the point you are trying to make. You lead with a statement that sounds like disappointment, but then build up to the engineering complexity involved. What are you trying to say? That this doesn't add up to a great product? How long have you been using them for?

Pi-hole is still very much niche, and outside of that and enterprise network admins, the majority of users are stuck using the trash resolver of their operating system directed to the trash DNS servers of their ISP.

If DNS level blocking ever becomes popular enough, malware authors will change their systems to not use the system's DNS, or to use hard coded DNS over TLS/HTTP servers that they know will serve them the data they want.

Preventing proprietary applications from doing malicious things is a constant cat and mouse game. Pi-hole works well for now, I would argue, because it's not popular enough to put a big enough dent in the success rate of malware.
Any idea where one could learn more about the legally binding agreement? Especially wondering (i don't expect you to answer these, just wondering if you happen to know or know where one could read about it):

1. When was this entered into

2. What there "good and valuable consideration" exchanged and what was it?

3. Are there any other projects in an agreement like this?

Edit: Great resource, still reading through it and the many links: https://kde.org/community/whatiskde/kdefreeqtfoundation/
In our experience, all of the contributors were happy to give permission to re-license the code. They generally believed in the project (that's why they contributed) and wanted TerminusDB to be as successful as possible - if the core team felt that was going to happen by moving to Apache, they weren't going to stand in the way.

I suppose you could have somebody quite ideologically attached to the GNU/GPL who could then hold up a change. If the code was core and you couldn't easily re-implement, could make the price high.
Also, did he publicly attack his colleagues on Twitter for their race? “Bunch of privileged white guys” is not something you want to read from someone who you have to work with every day, she should have been fired immediately for that alone.

San Francisco's 35% Plunge in Rents Shows Effects of Tech Fleeing City
Nice exploration of an iterated design process. I love the "its ugly but the functions are there" stage; everything I build tops out there. Going on to make the simple and elegant design isn't necessary because I'm satisfied; or alternately because its good enough to be pressed into service and the next project demands attention.

It's good to see more of how that process goes and the kind of result looks to justify the effort in this case. that's a nifty solution.

I would think that if that room did/still exists they would most likely use passive optical taps, not interfere with transit traffic. Optical taps simply mirror a fiber optic signal one way to a tap aggregation switch/packet capture devices. They would also be mostly undetectable, you will just see a reduced light level.

I had the MX4s and they were just too uncomfortable. I was getting headaches after prolonged use and my manager couldn’t hear me on a call indoors.

I’m seriously considering getting the Airpods Max if they have good Noise cancellation, sound quality and comfort.
OK well he just spent $127K learning how to trade. Sounds like a very expensive education. He should most definitely not give up now, and throw that all away. And in fact he didn't:

"Two years ago, he quit day trading to become a real estate agent and a professional investor in that field, which he says he's much better suited for."

He just switched to investing in real estate, which has slower returns, but probably is much easier in the long run.
This, please. Every time they run down to ten percent it's like being stabbed in the eardrum.

I bought a pair of Sony WH-1000XM4s on sale a month or two ago in large part for the 30-hour battery life (yes I could use wired headphones and have an infinite-hour runtime; I have a very nice pair of Sennheisers for that. I don't always want to).
So, cards on the table I've been a Qt apologist, but the subscription thing for distribution seems nuts. But I'm genuinely curious: if I wanted to build a {thing}, how should I license it so that I can get credit and make money for my work, while also supporting FOSS? I think traditionally the model here is "GPL or you can pay for a perpetual commercial license". I think that's reasonable (and I think clearly not what Qt is doing anymore) strategy; are there things I should consider?
While not telling which way is superior sounds produced by the speakers are also felt by your whole body even if subtle. That makes for a noticeably different listening experience.

I already have tight hips and a bad back from sitting too much. It's a modern phenomenon not limited to lying down.
I mean I will have to wait to see them in person but tbh they look pretty ugly, like a no-name luxury headphone you would see at bestbuy for $70 marketed to a female market.

The price point is ridiculous but the Bose go for like $350? so I can see it I guess. Will have to wait till reviews. For me on quality to buy they would have to compete the entry level prosumer stuff HD-650 etc. But they are closed back, active noise canceling so it is a completely other market that I don't even have headphones in.

For walking on the street or in a plane I am into chi-fi IEMs that are like $35 and compete with $500 stuff and just block out the sound through isolation.
Debian, by a large margin. Ubuntu is already "owned" by Canonical and openSUSE is just a free counterpart to SUSE Linux Enterprise by SUSE software solutions GmbH in very much the same way CentOS was to RHEL in the recent years.

This kind of comment does little to advance the discussion. All you're doing is steamrollering over legitimate opinions with an ad hominem attack.

For example, while I don't mind the GPL, I prefer to use more permissive licenses for my own code, because that's what's more in line with my personal ethics. I'm just not a "strings attached" kind of person. There is a courage criticism to make of how I do things, but it works in the opposite of the direction you're trying to take things: I sometimes wish I had the guts to follow SQLite's lead on software licensing.

This isn’t good science fiction. I was at least hoping all of this was based on good, well thought out science fiction. Why even define the ships as being like DC-8s? There was absolutely no need to date something like that.
Open Source is not the same as Free and Open Source (FOSS). If you want true software freedom, stick with communities or orgs based on the FOSS ideology. Big corporations cannot be FOSS, it's a conflict of interest for them.
They're not that far off higher-end over-the-ear ANC/wireless headphones, give or take Apple's brand premium (which many other makers of expensive things also happily apply). That's not to say they are cheap but it feels closer to existing market pricing than $250 wireless earbuds - a move Apple pulled off seemingly successfully.

I'm not expecting anything to happen, but advocating for user privacy isn't about having anything to hide or expecting anything to happen. As far as I'm concerned, the most rational position is to expect user privacy as a primary feature of any services/products we use, particularly if they don't need to be relaying any data in the first place.

I mean, perhaps if Facebook made a pair of headphones would you accept that it's not quite tinfoil hat stuff to be interested in user privacy? We should never trust any centralized authority or corporation with data if we can help it.
Computational audio is another, it has the H1 chip, its gonna be Apple exclusive algorithms that make soundscape absolutely bonkers. Sort of like Dolby proprietary stuff.
> They may appear to be the same but they are not because in certain languages (like Rust) you are forced to handle the `Option` case when a value is `None` which guides a programmer's thinking in the direction of what to do in that situation.

i've definitely heard that said before here on HN. are you hearing it referred to that way internally at google?
Renaming the aircraft to avoid the reputation is scummy and predictable, but aircraft scheduling being what it is, if your chosen airline flies 737-MAX, and your flight's distance is within the 737-MAX capabilities, there's no way to know if you'll be on a 737-MAX until boarding. The 737 in general is very compatible with commercial airports, so there's probably not a lot of scheduldd routes 737-MAX can't service because it's too big.

If you have a preference to avoid this aircraft, you need to book flights on airlines that don't have any, or that are too long for it, or be prepared to abandon your ticket at boarding.
To elaborate the absolute numbers: around 1 in 55000 vaccinated were affected by the side effects in two years, so even if everybody in the UK was vaccinated with something causing such side effects, that translates to 1200 with the side effects.

To compare, there were more than 70,000 excess deaths in the UK since start of pandemics. Around 60 times more deaths than, in the case of vaccine, those still living with side effects.

But these side effects were apparently the strongest in just a part of the population: 4-18, which is 11 million, resulting is estimated 200 people with side effects.

Covid-19 luckily affects exactly that part of population less, but even then I'd guess that Covid-19 already made more damage to more than 200 people in it.

And that small number of cases just can't be detected unless the trial covers enough of those affected. If the total effect is 200 cases in the whole population, a trial would have to be performed on at least one 20th of it: as much as 600,000 children would have to be a part of the trial to even detect that issue. Not to mention that it took two years to recognize the issue.

Now, for the trial to recognize the problem, half would have to be placebo group. That gives once all outside of the trial are counted 97.5% of people unprotected for two years.

In the case of whole population, and even waiting for only 10 months, there would still be 68,000 deaths more if that kind of trial would be a condition for the acceptance of vaccine.
Only some of Apple is quality, the rest is quality with quotes. The Apple's extended warranty program is worth billions, so is the repair industry fixing all the broken apple products. Heck they have yet to design a charging cable that doesn't fray. How is that quality?
>Perhaps unsurprisingly, they don’t end up with higher average incomes than their peers with light personalities.

This is the relevant quote. The article explicitly says "light personalities" have no penalty compared to "dark traits". This may be true in their comparison, but overall higher agreeableness is related to lower salary.

Synctera Brings 'FinTech as a Service' to Community Banks
Synctera, a new solution for partnership banking at scale, today announced the launch of its platform out of stealth, along with $12.4M in seed funding. The round was led by Lightspeed, with support from Diagram Ventures and strategic angel investors including Zachary Perret, CEO of Plaid; Max Levchin, founder and general partner at SciFi VC; Alexa Von Tobel, founder of LearnVest, and Inspired Capital; Henry Ward, CEO at Carta; and more. The platform is simple: Synctera connects community banks and FinTechs, making an otherwise complicated partnership easier and more streamlined. At launch, Synctera is announcing its first match with Coastal Community Bank, a local bank serving the greater Puget Sound community, and One, a new digital banking platform fostering financial wellness.
Kudos to you. Was a cesium user for a brief period in time. This domain is deceptively difficult.
You might get away with it if it's still in the 80s.
I feel like the inventory thing is a bit of a straw-man because the situation is set out in such a way that you need transactions for it to work. If you find yourself wishing you had a global write-lock on a topic to then of course it won't work. Modeling your data for Kafka is work just the same as it is for MySQL. Of course it might not be the best tool for the job but you should at least give it a fair shake.

You should be able to post "buy" messages to a topic without fear that it messes up your data integrity. Who cares if two people are fighting over the last item? You have a durable log. Post both "buys" and wait for the "confirm" message from a consumer that's reading the log at that point in time, validates, and confirms or rejects the buys. At the point that the buy reaches a consumer there is enough information to know for sure whether it's valid or not. Both of the buy events happened and should be recorded whether they can be fulfilled or not.
Yes! I didn't mention, but I contacted all contributors directly over the last month or so and asked for permission to re-license their code. We only went ahead with the change when everybody had signed off on the shift. In fact, all the contributors were postively disposed to the shift (with a few even suggesting that we go 'server side' immediatly to stop the AWS threat!)
>The biggest is that they have to have cash on hand to pay out employee pensions for the next 75 years.

>Everything that they make goes into a giant pot of money for the retirement fund of workers that haven't been born yet. The holdings must be in cash, so they can't even invest this giant pot of money.

This is not true. The law only requires saving money for accrued benefits, which makes sense to me. See section 802 and 803 of the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006:

https://www.congress.gov/109/plaws/publ435/PLAW-109publ435.p...

This is how deferred compensation should work. If an employer offers deferred compensation, they should be saving sufficient funds such that even if income were to stop today, the accrued benefits would have no problem being paid from the savings.

>This was a law pushed through by conservatives with the seeming intent to ensure that the USPS is never profitable.

This is also true, and the proof is "conservatives" exempted governments from the rules it wants the USPS to follow. Politicians do not want to force proper funding of government employee benefits, as then they could not advertise low taxes to voters at the same time they advertise higher compensation (via benefits in retirement) to government employee unions.

>It is a mandate that literally no other organization is saddled with.

Non taxpayer funded organizations do have similar mandates. See Pension Protection Act of 2006.
Only 20% of patients are in ICU because of Covid, so it is simply incorrect to claim that because of Covid the system is close to collapse. It is not. And if you call more than 80% use (which we don't even have) "exceptional load", it still isn't the same as "close to collapse". Have you even looked at the charts? If you count the emergency reserve, there is still capacity for 15000 more beds. A "doubling of cases" would put 4000 more people into ICU, so it wouldn't break the system at all. https://www.intensivregister.de/#/aktuelle-lage/zeitreihen

As for nurses working overtime, do you have any data for that? Quoting some individual hospital managers warning of "possible collapse" is not really evidence. They can also be politically motivated ("see, we really need more money for our ICU section"). You can also find individual hospital managers saying everything is fine.
I think the parent commenter is saying that in order to make a superior product these days, you need an extraordinary amount of investment for R&D which can only be made up by selling it at volumes that someone like Apple can achieve. I think their comment is about bang for your engineering buck.
So the world's elite are getting together in close proximity to discuss how to recover from everyone getting together in close proximity.

I think that you will be able to tell who the "elite" that should actually be listened to by those who choose not to go this year.
This is really ahistorical. Apple definitely has had a few head shakers, but the "apple tax" is largely overblown.

Sure, they are never interested in the bottom of the consumer market, but that doesn't make them overpriced for what they are; they tend to be competitive with actual competitor units.
I've always thought that the GPLv3 effort was one of the FSF's biggest mistakes. It split the GPL community into GPLv2 and GPLv3, since the two aren't compatible. And the GPLv3 was simply far too scary for companies.

It's clear that the Apache license is more friendly toward corporate concerns. But companies were willing to deal with GPLv2, because there were sufficiently large projects (such as the Linux kernel) that added enough value that it overcame their fears over how the GPLv2 restricted how they could monetize their software engineering investments.

Unfortunately, the GPLv3 and even more so, the AGPLv3, was simply a step too far; put simply, in my opinion, the FSF overplayed their hand. Whether a more scaled back GPLv3, or simply sticking with GPLv2, with all of its admitted ambiguities and admitted legal short-comings, would have made enough of a difference at the end of the day is impossible to know. But I think copyleft as a viable open source licensing regime, and the GPL in particular, would have had a much better chance of success if GPLv3 never happened.
I'm not sure I completely understand your point, sorry.

I'm saying that it makes no sense to lose on purpose just to say you "played fair".
You're right, Electron app. are ok... If there is only one in RAM !

On my 8 GB computer, I used to run in the same time :

- VsCode (700 MB)

- Teams (600 MB),

- PostMan (350 MB !? WTF)

- WhatsApp (consumes almost 600 MB after 1 hour !)

I had to switch to the web version for the last 3...

In contrast, running 25 torrents with qBitTorrent: ~25 mb.
Looks like you still cannot contribute without granting copyright ownership to Google. In turn, GOOG licenses it out under a BSD (or BSD-like) license.

This is a big difference relative to Linux, and its part of why Linux works so well as a collaboration between competitors. The GPL's copyleft acts as a joint development agreement between equals.

IMO, Fuchsia's model only works well for integration partners that are willing to act as sharecroppers in the ecosystem. That certainly does work for some device manufacturers, but it cannot serve as the foundation of a new Free operating system.
Oh my god naming things. That's another thing that basically only Apple does right. I still can't get over how many companies have decided that their naming scheme for consumer products should just be a bunch of random letters and numbers, I guess because they think it sounds more advanced and techey? Thinkpads are another massive offender here.
Amazing guy, his challenges and the way he dealt with them, over his lifetime could teach a lot about handling stress and pressure.
Thanks, I suspected as much. I'd contend that I've done neither of those things but will instead take it as an opportunity to re-evaluate my choice in even spending time here. Time to sign out, I think.
