Very good point and I'd go a step further: There are lots of organizations that are not even businesses in the first place who can sustainably fund open source work.

Postgres came out of UC Berkeley. GNU stuff like emacs and gcc came out of MIT. VLC came out of École Centrale Paris. SecureDrop is developed by the Free Software Foundation. Tor was originally funded by the Open Technology Fund (USG). Firefox is from a nonprofit funded by Google advertising and born from the ashes of a commercial failure. Etc etc etc.

There may or may not be an open source business model, but there does not have to be one at all for open source to thrive.
Yeah - I think we’re actually in agreement?

It’s possible you read my initial comment as more extreme than I intended.

I just think there’s more opportunity for collaboration - the stance I often see/hear/read about is combative. Tech companies vs. local politics. Local politicians vs. tech companies, etc. It’d be nice if there was less of this and more working towards shared goals.
This sort of law was tried in Europe several times without success. The Australian governments were always slow learners.

The way to have a shot would be to have a ballot which simultaneously gets rid of Prop 13 property tax caps (and increases property taxes) while capping income tax. If you are going to increase property taxes then people are going to want to see corresponding decreases in income tax.

No! God, I don't understand why people keep falling into this mindset. Do not hide/remove/censor/block/stop speech because of its content, ever, for any reason! Let all speak their piece, and let all hear what they choose to hear. There are a zillion and one reasons this is the right way to do things that people in first-world countries are forgetting.

Here's the easiest one to grasp: if you create the tools to suppress an idea and willingly let some party make use of them, then you have fulfilled all the preconditions for suppressing good ideas and true ideas except for "who holds the button" - but guess what? You can never guarantee button-holding status in the future! It is dangerous to enable, allow, or normalize speech suppression because you are doing the future bad guys' job for them in the process and making it easier to enact horrifying human rights abuses in the future.
If enough people demanded it though, we could make it socially unacceptable for Youtube to use their property rights in the pursuit of censorship. The problem really isn't the law, it's public opinion. We've lost sight of how important freedom of speech is, and we are by and large cheering on censorship where it hurts those we disagree with. It's short sighted and will ultimately cost us a lot more than it gains us... but it feels good for now.
Well there are and should be. The classic example is shouting “fire!” in a crowded room. This is freedom, but causes chaos without the benefits that freedom of expression allows.
Pure freedom can be as bad as authoritarianism. Pure freedom is lawlessness and law of the most powerful. This is what fake news is moving towards, the law of those who can manipulate the truth the best. Like all things balance between both extremes is the answer, and the disagreement is where that balance point lies.
Federal criminal investigation into Hunter Biden focuses on business in China
I think your examples touch on the enforcement of certain norms, not on the change in the reigning social view. In other words, in the 90s neither the average man on the street nor the ruling class would agree that publicly assaulting gay people or workplace sexual assault are anything but immoral. Both were also still crimes at that time, of course. I'm also not quite sure that workplace incidents of that kind have declined substantially up to the present, but I'd be interested in seeing data.

I've personally mentored dozens of women in my career, and hired just as many for technical roles. The first startup I ever joined was founded by a woman, who was also the CEO. I joined when it was her and 4 other people. I'm interviewing now with an insurance-tech startup founded by a woman, who is, again, the CEO. People like you have been the death of discourse on sites like this for a long time, because you're desperate to attribute every criticism to group identity characteristics. I deeply resent this behavior, and people like you who perpetrate it.

My denigration of Mrs. Jones would be identical if she were Mr. Jones, because it's fully focused on the fact that she was fired for insubordination by abusing her position as the maintainer of the dashboard to make unilateral decisions, like for example activating the CSV export functionality when one of the epidemiologists on her team was concerned that it was incomplete and was checking it against Johns Hopkins' data sources. She turned this firing into a PR stunt by falsely claiming (as it was later determined) that she was actually fired for protesting her team "hiding" covid deaths and hospitalizations. Naturally, these "hidden" deaths never materialized, because they were never there to begin with. She was proven a liar by late May, but her lies are politically convenient for the Democratic Party, and therefore she continues to be portrayed as a whistleblower by highly partisan outlets.

Apparently, you've never criticized a female in your entire life, and anyone who does must automatically be motivated by misogyny. The solution to this is for men to only work with other men, because how can you work with someone if you can't constructively criticize them? That's the world that your behavior will create.
YEAH BUDDY!
Well, according to a federal judge appointed by President Trump:

> Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here.

And according to Giuliani, Trump's own attorney, in the actual court filings:

> the Campaign “doesn’t plead fraud. . . . [T]his is not a fraud case.” Mot. to Dismiss Hr’g Tr. 118:19–20, 137:18

When your own attorney says "this is not a fraud case", do you think maybe there was no fraud?

> restaurants lose

I don't know if you've noticed, but we're in the middle of a pandemic and something like 85%[1] of restaurants have closed in some areas. For most restaurants, something like Doordash is the only way they're actually staying alive at this time.

In conjunction with Rails's "russian-doll" caching, N+1 queries are (or at least, can be) a good thing.

This sounds counterintuitive; but, in the common case of read-heavy services, N ≐ 0 after the first access. When something changes, subsequent views end up loading & rendering the one record that changed, instead of preloading an entire collection.

However, achieving this in practice requires some care in the nesting of view partials and records.

Eclipse Vert.x 4 Released
Cristina and Russ Mitchell and are both part of the TSLAQ short selling / anti-Tesla hate group. They've bullied and victimized dozens of Tesla customers in their quest to smear Tesla and Musk. Just my perspective on what I've seen following these people for a few years. They also failed to mention that Cristina already lost the lawsuit once. Now she is appealing, which she has the right to do. I wish her the best of luck in resolving this in a way that allows her to move on from what happened.
This is like what happened to newspapers with the rise of the internet. It was great for the top few - the NYT, the Washington Post. But why would you read the Cincinnati Enquirer if it was equally convenient to read the Wall Street Journal?

Similarly, the rise of DoorDash etc is going to be bad for most restaurants. If there are 100 Chinese restaurants in my city, why would I ever order from one that wasn’t one of the best? Any restaurant whose food isn’t good enough to win on DoorDash is going to be hurt when more people choose delivery.

It will be great for some, though. The best restaurants with big delivery volume will be able to expand and improve their margins by operating at a larger scale.
> Except that in any civilized society, the courts should be impartial and not favor the employer nor the employee and pass verdicts based on the law and not based on the culture and if the law says you can fire someone who continuously underperforms over a period of time then that law will be applied.

Prop 13 doesn't allow taxes to grow at a rate commensurate with infrastructure, which is why so many counties in California are teaching out of "temporary classrooms" installed in the 70's and 80's, except for the wealthy counties. For example: Folsom has a multi-million dollar highschool, but south sac has Luther Burbank, with aforementioned trailers.

Another problem is that many California counties subsidized suburban sprawl by not charging for utility hookups (like sewers). This put them in debt which caused them to encourage sprawl to balance the books, and some day someone will get left holding the bag, as is happening now.

California catered to the wealthy for decades and now they are having to pay the piper, so to speak.

This is what happens when you bend over backward for the super rich. I say good riddance, maybe California's taxation policies will recover to something more equitable without the 0.1%ers fucking it all up.... Like lowering income tax and repealing prop 13.
There's a huge difference between government censorship/suppression, and a private entity deciding what they will and won't host.
Did they have blue blooded individuals in the trial? /s
Can you stop your real-world friends from divulging your friendship to 3rd parties? Would you even presume to have any standing to do so?

I think a case could be made that knowledge that <A friend B> belongs to A and B equally and that neither has standing to preclude the other from sharing that fact. Of course they could both mutually agree to such an arrangement ahead of time, but outside of such an agreement, I have a hard time seeing the case for "B prevents A from telling C that A and B are friends".

Another aspect of this though, is "how much can A tell C about B without permission from B?" We know that IRL, people do get angry when friends reveal overly personal details about their lives to others, so this is definitely something to consider.

> but it's not like the US government is doing a better job

I think this is the part people are overlooking when they talk about censorship and freedom of speech...what are you supposed to do when it's the government of your country itself that is actively pushing large amounts of misinformation? Does it not completely change the situation compared to an individual or organisation doing this?

It takes more effort to show a lie to be false than it does to tell another lie, and the public only have finite time to weigh up the accuracy of information. The government has more power to push out convincing misinformation in vast quantities than anyone else.

A lot of the time of you don't need censorship because truth and open critique will drown out the lies, but there's going to be a breaking point when the misinformation being thrown out becomes overpowering.
The page switch fuckery I'm noticing is not quite as severe as what you described, but still annoying:

* say you're on page A, an open pull request

* merge the pull request

* switch to a different site entirely

* go back to github's page A

* notice how it shows the pull request as if it wasn't merged yet

* refresh the page and see the status switch to merged

> Lots of good stuff in here, including much more support for using UUIDs as PKs.

I missed this. Going through the changelogs the only thing I found is support case-insensitivity for pg UUID types. Is that what you meant?

I really think that not supporting UUID PKs is one of biggest issues with Rails. You can go around it and maybe even use a gem for it, but that's still a bit risky.

> If that's the case, how can one say that, for all of history, they have been underpaid? What is the standard that defines underpaid?

Your original statement was: "the common view of "underpaid" being a view that isn't consistent with the history of the space."

And this statement is false. Now you're trying to wiggle out of this by pretending that "being underpaid" is undefined because we haven't decided the concept of paid/underpaid and other demagoguery.

1) Delivery drivers are underpaid

2) Doordash and all the rest of gig economy businesses systematically underpay and make conditions even worse because they force people into becoming external contractors with zero rights and protections, and shift many additional costs to these contractors.

> When we talk about delivery people being underpaid, though, that seems directly against the initial pitch

The pitch doesn't matter in the least. Especially if you essentially argue that "Doordash's pitch is true because the common view of "underpaid" isn't consistent with the history of the space."

1) Delivery drivers are underpaid

2) Doordash and all the rest of gig economy businesses systematically underpay people who work for them

I think this is a good example of what happens when you wade into a nest of vipers. 'Fraud' can have different meanings, and sometimes what is used in common language is not the correct legal term.

So is it misleading to call it fraud? Or are you just nitpicking? Depends on who you ask.
Are you arguing in bad faith, or do you actually think making it impossible for people to effectually accuse the winners of a election of election fraud is a good idea?
Why we don't work 15 hour work-weeks
I've seen this discussion come up on HN a few times so I think people may find Tyler Cowen's talk on this subject interesting.

Some interesting bits of information:

- People do work less to some extent, but the reduction in working hours is concentrated in teen years and old age (65+).

- People seem to like work, will continue their jobs even if they win the lottery.

- Rich people (top 1%) now work longer hours than poorer people.

You can downvote me, but first indulge me...

Imagine, for a second, that you saw something concerning. For argument’s sake, say you saw your boss doing something you perceived to be illegal.

Imagine, then, that you were told that asking about those things was dangerous, because it would cause everyone to lose faith in who they work for.

Now imagine that HR or a PR firm comes, only after trying hard to convince you that you shouldn’t ask any questions at all, and then tells you that they investigated and found nothing wrong.

Then imagine that, while some of the explanation given made sense, some of it did not, and maybe led to more questions.

Finally, imagine then being told that not only should you no longer question, but that anyone caught talking about it would be removed.

Now, we don’t know that something illegal did or did not occur.

But be honest... would that scenario convince you that nothing illegal happened, and that you should move on as instructed?
