I'm sure some foods are inherently addictive, but I hesitate to put the blame on specific foods because I gained most of my weight from eating sushi rice… a pot at a time.

My experience suggests to me that food addiction is primarily psychological in nature and is often the result of a history of "experience coupling" (examples to follow) and a genuine misunderstanding of what feeling "full" truly feels like.

Most obese people I know have no idea when they've eaten enough food and often don't stop eating until they're in pain. I'm not sure if this problem is physical, but as a formerly-obese person I can state with confidence that I still don't quite know when I've eaten enough. There is no feeling of "full" for me; just pain vs. no pain.

"Experience coupling" examples…

* Feeling the need to eat popcorn while watching a movie

* Feeling the need to eat peanuts, hot dogs, and beer at a baseball game

* Feeling the need to meet with friends at restaurants, coffee shops, etc.

* Feeling the need to eat cereal by the fistful when trying to work through a tough algorithm (<-- personal anecdote)

* Feeling the need to snack on road-trips
If he makes $1.5m/ year and his net worth is only $8m, he's not very good with money.

My feeling on taxes is likely overly simple. Take the median price of a home in the area and divide it by 4. If people make less than that, they shouldn't pay any taxes. Then people should pay flat rate for every dollar above that.
I generally like Stripe's API, and this blog post gives me some hope, but the complexity of their system and documentation has definitely been growing a lot more than I'd like. These days, I end up attaching `expand` to most API requests, because they've become addicted to overly nested data structures. And for some reason you have to include array brackets within the parameter name, so really it's `expand[]`, which is awkward in many contexts. The length of property names has gone up significantly and now often use multiple words separated by underscores, e.g. `statement_descriptor_suffix`, which is also awkward, especially in JavaScript. The docs still mention Sources and Tokens in many cases, without a clear translation to Payment Methods and usually without even mentioning that those concepts are deprecated or outdated.

Tangential to that, while the post seems to hint at trying to make a unified and cohesive experience, I can only see that happening for simple one-time payments. Subscriptions and Connect still seem like an afterthought. For the longest time, you could do destination charges for one-time payments but not subscriptions. Additionally, when using subscriptions with Connect, you have to specify the application fee as a percentage, which is painful for us because we want to charge a flat rate, so we have to fudge it with some math using hardcoded values to properly take into account coupons and Stripe's fees and we end up having to round to the nearest penny. It's just an unnecessarily messy headache. One-time payments are pretty easy with Stripe, the rest seems bolted on.

Reuters was the first to claim the attack was attributed to russia based on "3 sources close to the investigation" but presented no evidence.

The Washington Post claimed it was specifically APT29/CozyBear, also based on "3 anonymous sources familiar with the hack" with no supporting information.

Neither FireEye nor the US government have officially attributed the attack to any state actor, nonetheless russia, though it would be unusual to make an attribution this quickly anyways.

FireEye makes no note of any tools used in the hack that have been previously associated with either APT29 or Russia in general. Their countermeasures [0] seem to suggest all injected code was either in english or encrypted, but it would be pretty dumb to leave unencrypted russian (or any other language) text in your hack of a US program.

The security group Intel 471 apparently [1] found a russian-language actor trying to sell access to the solarwind network in April 2020, but it is unclear if they actually had that access, if that access was connected with this hack, or if this individual was anything more than a middleman. I just googled the name, and there is a facebook page for someone with no friends or activity who is signed up for a couple of ukrainian groups (a support group for the mayor of a town, a public transit department, etc) so the facebook page is clearly a bot but there may be no association.

That's the closest thing I could find to evidence.

Ignoring edge cases like selling a house, I would argue ‘fair share’ is for capital gains tax to have brackets that eventually equal regular income tax brackets, such that a CEO that makes $1 / year and 4 million in stocks, if he sells all 4 million in stocks 2 years later, isn’t paying only 15% income tax.
So let me get this straight. The entire basis for "we should understand that ideas go unchallenged" is because a Vice article told you that? An article that doesn't do anything other than cite a few instances where JR lets interviewees go unchallenged? Honestly, that article is terrible. I would expect something more conclusive to say something like "we fact checked 100 of JRE's guests and found 47 of them to be factually incorrect in what they were saying"

I mean I generally agree that he doesn't necessarily challenge his interviewees but to say you don't learn something from JRE is kind of off IMO.

Anyway, that's besides the point because I've both read the book and watched the podcast. Additionally I've checked some of the sources and they're consistent with what the author has communicated. In a world of sound bites, I'm simply offering that this soundbite is better than single sentence headliners but not as good as reading a whole book or even further, reading a book and every source.

I don't think diffs are the "natural" object - if you talk to someone who isn't using an automated version control system but still doing revision control, what they have is "Resume 12-1-2020.doc," "Resume 12-2-2020.doc," "Resume reviewed by Joe.doc," "Resume for Contoso final.doc," "Resume for Contoso final final USE THIS VERSION.doc," etc.

Those are snapshots of individual versions of the files, not diffs.

Or think about your favorite wiki (Wikipedia or your corporate wiki) - if you hit the "History" page, what you see is a list of the versions of the page, and then some UI to compare any two given versions. While there's a button for computing a diff between any version and the previous, that's not what it appears to treat as the natural object.

Diffs are an emergent object when you have some mechanism to automatically create them and apply them. (This is generally a programmatic mechanism, but there have long been cases where the mechanism is manual effort - think laws that amend other laws by saying "After section 3 insert... and remove section 5".) But the ultimate goal is to produce a version of the file.

If you want a diff management system, play around with quilt, which treats diffs (patch files) as the first-class object. Just about everyone I know who's tried using quilt for more than the tiniest amount of work vastly prefers just importing the applied patches into git and working with them in git. This is largely because quilt is empirically much more leaky - it's very sensitive to the current state of your directory, because a diff is a second-class object which requires something to be applied to in order to make sense, and it's too easy for the contents of your directory to not quite line up.

(Put another way - there's a reason we call it "version control" / "revision control". The thing it tracks is versions/revisions, which are concrete instances of the file in time. Quilt is a patch management system, and very few people are interested in those.)
There's no objective, fair way to answer that question. This is something that can only be answered by a societal discussion and hopefully some democratic way of decision.

I'm not sure this is what you're trying to do, but it sounds a bit you want to imply that because there's no objective measurements of "fairness" we shouldn't even try.

FWIW I think your question doesn't give me enough information to form an opionion, because the tax should depend on needs of the authority that does the taxing (e.g. if there's an obvious lack of healthcare in a country that causes many people to die needlessly - that'd be a good reason for higher taxes).
> The cost to the original company is a lost sale, a lost product, and $20 [lost] in exchange for a 5-star review. That may well be worth it for the company, so I'm not sure this scheme would actually stop dishonest reviews, only make it worse.

Sometimes when I see a product being sold FBA I will do a search on Alibaba (they’re always on Alibaba) to find the wholesale price. I’ve found that the markup on most products is high enough that if a seller were to give every buyer $20, they’d still be making money.

For being "easy" it actually is quite hard to find documentation on how to run an S3 website with CloudFront "properly". Amazon makes it very confusing to figure out that, e.g., web server mode is different than regular S3 mode. CF itself tries to get you to do the wrong thing. Plus you have to jump through hoops to make your bucket private but still give CF access to it. I was doing that wrong for years. How many multimillion dollar companies wouldn't be relevant if Amazon just fixed their freaking docs?

I hear you. The need for something simple is real.

I don't have a complex SSO/Auth need, and so, something as simple as single-factor FIDO based passwordless login (such as sawo [0] / portier [1]) or hands-off user management (like userbase [2] / human-id [3]) cuts it for me.

That said, the only question I have is the GitHub page says SuperTokens is "open core"

> SuperTokens is an open core alternative to proprietary login providers like Auth0 or AWS Cognito. We are different because we offer:

> - Open source:...

...So, which parts of supertokens is open core vs open source (supertokens-core, I can see, is vanilla Apache v2 without any strings attached like the horrible Commons Clause)?

Great article.

The first thing that I was told about git was that commits are snapshots. It is enough to understand the simple workflow: pull, commit -a, push.

What confused me was everything that involves applying diffs (git stash apply, git rebase, git cherry-pick).

The secret is that you need to think both in terms of snapshots, or diffs, depending on the context.

Some git tutorials show you a few "magic" commands to get you started but it's best to really understand the git model as soon as possible. It's not that hard, and it's here to stay. We may still be using git in 30 years, just like we're still using bash and vim.
I'm not a fan of blaming feminism (there's a very valid point that it's unfair that the woman is/was expected to be the home maker), but I do see a correlation between the rise of 2-worker households, stagnating wages, and the difficulty of raising children.

The line of thinking here is that feminism caused 2-worker households, which doubled the workforce, which caused wage stagnation. Basically that doubling the workforce crashed the price of labor, but companies were unable to reduce everyone's salaries, and instead stagnated wages until inflation caused them to fall to the new price of labor.

I find it crass to blame feminism for that, though. Women should have always been free to join the workforce, and the problem is really 2-worker households, not that women are able to work. I think single-worker households address some of these issues, but there's no reason to point and say women were the problem. It's just as valid for the wife to go work and the husband to take care of the house.

Single-worker households aren't going to make a comeback, imo. For one, we, as a society, don't really respect homemakers. It's unskilled labor, and we grant it about as much value as most unskilled labor. And the more likely you are to be able to afford having a single-worker household, the more drastic the gap in prestige between the worker and homemaker becomes, which creates a weird power dynamic. I.e. if you're a hotshot lawyer and your wife stays at home, that's a huge gap in how you're perceived by other people. The second reason is that wages have effectively fallen through stagnation and inflation. Even if we forced all households to only have a single worker tomorrow, I'm doubtful wages would rise to where they might have been. Third and finally, a lot of homemaking is stuff people don't really want to do. Time with the kids is great, but does anyone really enjoy vacuuming, or cleaning the bathroom, or doing dishes? This might just be my perspective bleeding through, but the work itself seems awful. And worse yet, you do it either almost entirely alone, or while children are playing/screaming/fighting around you. It's physically demanding, and generally not mentally stimulating.

Longer-term, I would bet that the solution to this is a) more optimized services (i.e. a cleaning service that cleans all the houses on your street, like landscaping people often do), and b) robotics that are able to handle small bits of this. Roomba is a good example. They're reasonably effective at vacuuming. Give it a decade and they'll probably be able to actually replace vacuuming. We will also need a way for people that can't afford the upfront price to have one, which will probably come forth in the form of a subscription (give us a $100 deposit, and then we'll charge you $1 every time it runs).
That's a strange position at a company whose board and top executives are huge political activists spending tens of millions of dollars on lobbying. Political activism is a big part of what Google does, and at a scale that exceeds many if not most non-profits.
Curious what sorts of headaches there were in this. We're currently in the process of implementing KC12 using the docker image, a User Storage SPI (our users exist in our legacy master database which is synced from an external billing system), and it's looking so far like it'll be a fairly simple setup. This is basically just acting as a OAuth shim between our primary database and an external service provider in our case, which I imagine keeps the complexity down. But I'm wondering what you might have run into that we haven't yet. Thanks!
For this specific notion - I can't remember honestly. But most of the book is backed up by sources / studies.

As I noted in this thread - I don't think 100% of what author communicates in the book is factual or conclusive, but he does a great job of collecting multiple perspectives and studies to combine it into one thought provoking read. Like any book that has an agenda/angle, a healthy dose of skepticism is always required.
I appreciate your thoughts.

A company doesn't have to have the resources to run a managed service in order to benefit from the guaranteed possibility for such an alternative to exist. I don't need to fork a project to benefit from the guarantee that I can fork it and do whatever I like with it.

There is a concept in many open source communities of a "benevolent dictator" project leader. It doesn't matter if the project leader is an individual, or a company. Many open source projects are lead by a single company that dictates how it is ran.

The thing that keeps such dictators benevolent is the Freedom To Fork. Without the Freedom To Fork, how do we guarantee benevolence? The current CRL folks could be the nicest, most wonderful people in the world, but there is no guarantee the company won't change hands, the current folks won't retire or move on, or their motivations don't change and they begin to lose their benevolence.

Sure, CRL may be interested in partnering and playing nice- now. But they hold the keys to the kingdom, and can lock the door anytime they want to.

I simply want the possibility, that if things don't work out, I have options.

But you are right- I do have ideals about how projects like this should get funded and built. And you are right, there are a wide range of reasonable answers. I disagree with them being a fantasy though.

I think Postgres is a great example! There is a long list of companies that are "significant" contributors to Postgres. https://www.postgresql.org/about/sponsors/

This list included consultants, hosting providers (Even the much maligned AWS is a sponsor), and companies that use Postgres.

WordPress/Automatic is another successful example, one with a strong business as community leader. They do well with their consulting and hosting business.

The Linux Foundation umbrella also has a variety of supporters and manage a lot of open source projects.

There are a variety of open source projects that are developed by companies that use them, much of the Apache Foundation projects fall into this category.

Another model that works well for many (I'm not a huge fan of this model) is the Open Core model. If as a user I stick to relying only upon the open source editions of projects like GitLab, I get all the benefits of using open source. (This does not prevent me from buying a commercial license from the company to gain support- if they are willing to support my use of their open source edition in an acceptable manner).

RedHat is pretty successful at selling support and consulting.

Other open source developers do well selling a hosted managed service of their product.

There are a lot of different ways to fund open source projects.
