I'm a huge fan of Adam Curtis, and that particular documentary.

I think you're maybe misinterpreting his message - he describes our reality as if it is a video game that's been created for us to live in, which is my very point. Thinking of it this way allows one to see the system more clearly, and in turn manipulate it to one's own ends (and very easily, provided those embedded within it are unaware of the situation, which is very much the case).

If (even for the sake of discussion) one assumes this to be the case, then availing oneself of this very same technique (and do it better, leveraging superior thinking & magnitude of compute (via crowd-sourcing), lower requirements for stealth, etc) to fight back seems like a no-brainer to me.

Getting those who live within such a system to even consider this possibility on the other hand, this is not an easy task. I see no no-brainer way to go about this, other than just talking about it explicitly. I'm essentially proposing that we apply the very same systems analysis techniques that we would use at work to the very system we live within, but it seems this is a very non-intuitive idea.

I didn't even bother to check the number of items caught by the pihole, and I'm sure there are a few things that got through because they haven't made it into the relevant blocklists yet.

I've been in tough founder situations. What I'd like to add to this conversation is: leaving is the right choice, find a way out, don't stay.
The OP considered that giving extra time off was praiseworthy. I countered that perception by pointing out that it is a very minor gift given by someone in a position of much larger power than the employee. I felt compelled to make this comment as I perceived this praise to be an inaccurate perception of the actual relationship between worker and employer. I'm calling attention to that as a form of thinking that can harm the employee but than can be improved. Working for an employer may be necessary, but adapting your thinking to praise the employer and their power is often not and needlessly decreases some of your freedom or power to get a better position. Take for example workers who feel guilt at leaving an employer, whereas the employer might discard them without any second thoughts if needed.

I compared it to feudalism for illustrative effect, but I believe the comparison also has merit in itself as de facto feudal power was further bolstered by cultural constructs that further limited the scope of analysis in favor of the status quo. We operate under similar constructs with hustle porn, by-your-bootstraps, CEO worship and so on. Of course, this is a matter of subjective and cultural perception but I wouldn't call it naive.

Nowhere did I propose a complete framework to radically improve all of society, nor was it necessary to do so for the scope of my argument which merely cautioned against needlessly submissive (and naive!) ways of looking at employment that add burdens way beyond what physical reality or the organization of society bestows.
I'm not one to get offended easily, so that aspect of your post isn't an issue for me. However you don't seem to have a real foundation for your belief, just an assumption. I can believe that the average Japanese person doesn't know every single kanji, just like the average english-speaking person doesn't know every word in the dictionary, but I think it's a big stretch to assume that Japanese people can't even read books on the train because their literacy is so low.

Microsoft is somewhat notorious for not correctly supporting C in Visual Studio. There's MinGW, which basically works, but it arguably doesn't count as 'native' support.

I've heard people claim that recent versions of VS are better, but I've also heard people claim that they just corrupted the standards process to get everything they didn't support relegated to optional extensions, so... [shrug].
Since when is "democracy" the golden standard for every culture and every country? Politics are all about trade-offs, among efficiency, centralized power, poverty to solve, nationality and defence, and many other aspects. Democracy can be beneficial but it sucks at so many things, and it's normally short-sighted. Is Singapore, with less democratic system, not as "legitimate" as the U.S.? Your opinion sounds like a 5-yr old talking about politics.

No they don't. Lies spread faster than truth[1] and repetition legitimizes[2]. The marketplace of ideas is the just world fallacy for people who like to think a lot.

Nice casual racism you threw in there.
The question shouldn't be "can I make as much working for non-evil[1] companies" but rather how much of a premium are you willing to give up for doing what is good for society. For me, I'll happily earn less if it means that my conscience[2] is clear.

[1] I mean, I'm using "evil" loosely here. Its just an illustration, I'm not going to argue about how evil or not evil FAANG are.

[2] Of course, everyone has a different definition of what they consider questionable and will therefore draw the line in different places. Its a personal decision, but you should hopefully understand why someone who doesn't agree with your definition might judge you for it, rightly or wrongly.
Show HN: Govips 2.0, lightning fast image processing for Go
I think this is where I’ve been most at odds with common OOP approaches (apart from the common practice of widespread mutability). An interface should be an abstraction defining what a given operation (function, module) needs from input to operate on it and produce output, and nothing more. Mirroring concrete types with an interface isn’t abstraction, it’s just putting an IPrefix on concrete types to check a design pattern box.

I’m not sure what part of the world you’re from. But if you’re American it’s good to note that tunnels in the EU cost about 50% of their equivalents (i.e. similar purpose and geological conditions) in the US. [1]

It’s not totally clear why this is the case. But for some reason building infrastructure in the US is substantially more expensive than anywhere else in the world. Even when controlling for the quality of that infrastructure.

So if you are American, then your intuitive costs for these tunnels might be way off their actual cost.

Reading code of nice, successful, projects helps learn what good looks like, how the projects are structured, how each module minds its own business, etc.

I'm not saying the code is perfect, but the improvement is faster than to do it in a vacuum.

Writing the tutorial and documentation for a library and show it around to colleagues before you write the code has been helpful. "Would this make sense to you?"

I also used to give non coders a laptop and the documentation for a library I wrote and tell them to follow the documentation to do something.

I disagree, I can easily imagine somebody having full metal to UI knowledge. Obviously not knowing every programming language, all types of electrical engineering applications, etc. But it's totally feasible to be able to have a sense of understanding from metal to front-end at least to an extent.
I was one of those backwards people who opposed containers, until late 2019.

My start was the official kubernetes docs, step by step. Try everything, write it down, make ansible playbooks. Even used some of their interactive training modules, but I quickly had my own cluster up in vagrant so didn't really need the online shell.

Now we have two clusters at work, I have ansible playbooks I'm really happy with that help me manage both our on-prem clusters and my managed LKE with the same playbooks.

I'm completely sold on this container thing. :)

They were both wrong in doing so. And the idea that Reif was a naïve first year college president does not make sense (an argument used to gaslight the MIT community). He'd spent years in positions of bureaucratic power at MIT and is masterful at playing Institute politics.

It is, but should it be?

The large majority of people agree that there should be Coronavirus relief. The people refusing are only doing so in order to perpetrate a stick up on something they know everybody wants in order to get something in that not everybody wants.

If you want your stupid garbage into the law, convince the majority of people that it's the right thing to do on its own merits. Horse trading against unrelated legislation is despicable, and doing it in the context of something people don't have time to read before they vote on it is even worse.

Ah but market factors probably don’t make that targetable. For infrastructure, much of the cost is probably planning and labor, as a guess. It’s probably not standardized as easily.

But I could see modular designs helping theoretically.
Tail at Store: A Revelation from Millions of Hours of Disk and SSD Deployments
A lot of the confusion about this has resulted from the ability of the word "streaming" to refer to both directions. The issue is not people watching a stream. Nor does the bill likely cover individual torrent/p2p users who upload works or even potentially seedboxes or services like Mega. So as far as people who are intentionally trying to pirate copyrighted works for the purpose of not buying them, the applicability is very limited. It would only apply to one of those streaming/DDL movie sites, or possible a torrent site themselves depending on the definition of "transmission service." You would have to be a fool to try and set that up from anywhere where the US could get to you anyway.

The problem, and the concern from groups like EFF, is that on the other hand people who are not really pirates (ie. their purpose is not to serve a substitute for buying the work) but who may violate copyrights in the process (ex. streamers who don't have distribution rights to music playing in the background) could be covered as long as they are in some way monetized, and it would not be hard to play this as a "major infringer" with a number of songs.
> Some diamonds were formed billions of years ago in space as the carbon-rich atmospheres of dying stars expanded and cooled. In our own planet's lifetime, high-temperatures and pressures in the mantle produced the diamonds that are familiar to us as gems. 5,000 years ago, a large meteorite that struck a carbon-rich sediment on Earth produced an impact diamond.

> Each of these diamonds differs from the others in both composition and genesis, but all are categorized as "diamond" by the authoritative guide to minerals—the International Mineralogical Association's Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification.

Sounds like you are in a good position. This is not legal advice so go seek your own licensed legal counsel.

If they don’t pay you the equity then they would not own your tech. Any revenue/profit they derive would be unjust enrichment.

Not to say that I’d even leave them with working tech. I’d disable everything I built today until we had a more equitable agreement.

No chance I’d let them profit from this tech alone anymore. At best I’d offer them a license to use it.

Then go start your own company with it and be the majority owner.

No need for the bad business partner.

It's an interesting case in that the internet has caused big media to push for stricter copyright enforcement and experiment with giving people less and less rights on their products, but at the same time the internet has made people much more aware of the downsides of copyright.

I wouldn't say that it doesn't matter. I think that propagating the values of free software is important, so I'm certainly supportive to a large degree.

But I think HN is the place to discuss nuances such as these:

Firstly, it's very unclear to me how Purism and the FSF reconcile the FSF criteria regarding 'Nonfree Firmware' with the blobs on the device. It's also unclear to me what the distinction is between this part of the criteria and the RYF certification.

https://ryf.fsf.org/about/criteria

Furthermore, the FSF's criteria regarding non-free firmware seems problematic, and it directly affects the Librem. Purism has been working with the FSF in pursuit of the RYF certification, and all of the responses I've found seem to be somewhat evasive of the fact that it may be the Librem will not get firmware updates, and that this is in accordance with RYF criteria.

https://forums.puri.sm/t/does-respects-your-freedom-certific...

The response from the CSO almost confirms this.

I find a lack of firmware updates to be possibly more of a concern than whether or not only my application CPU is running only free software.

What the FSF and company define as 'software' also still seems to be problematic.
Unfortunately it doesn't sound like an option:

Going by the quoted portion of the bill up thread, "platform" doesn't appear in the relevant portions text but neither does "digital service" - it says "digital transmission service".

There isn't an upside. Theoretically it means that certain investment vehicles must buy shares of your company. But they do so from the open market; not from offerings.

Otherwise, it's just a matter of prestige: the S&P lists are just the X largest (by stock value) profitable publicly traded companies.

The difference between S&P X00 and Nasdaq: S&P is just a list of publicly traded companies; it is not a stock exchange. Nasdaq is an actual stock exchange, like the NYSE.

He sort of was. I don't remember all the details but he apparently deliberately obscured where the money was coming from.

As I recall, he did sign a routine thank you letter but it was a committee of three people in treasurer's office who actually OKd it. Two had already left and the EVP of finance resigned to do a pursue other interests sort of thing, presumably because he saw the writing on the wall.

I would guess it was a very near thing for Reif but he didn't quite have his fingerprints on it.
Maybe if you view your relationship with your mother with the same lens as a business transaction. Otherwise, it’s not.
Well, in this particular company, everything was public. Even the 1-1 discussions tended to be threads in the public slack channel. Or at least comments on the ticket.

The main point was if you want the other team to do something, you create a ticket so that they can schedule it in, rather than interrupting them demanding they drop whatever they might be doing to do your thing. And if your question is already addressed in the documentation, then its a waste of the teams time and energy to answer the same thing over and over.

If you have a legitimate question that isn't answered in the documentation, then you can absolutely ask and get an answer. The main goal is to reduce interruption with needlessly (everyone is busy!) and to reduce low quality low effort questions. Answers then often also made it back into the documentation.

So its not about treating the requester badly, but rather that its easy and low effort to ask someone to do or answer something, while it can be incredibly disruptive for the team being asked. This is a means of managing that, and in my opinion it worked great. It also pushed me to put enough effort into questions when I did have them (what am I trying to achieve, what have I tried, where have I looked for answers, what problems am I having).
SPA moves all the routing/templating to the browser side.

server side rendering does it all on the server and spits out html(legacy cgi style)

between these two: static html template downloaded from the server, then use ajax to update json in the html pages, which is the old boring way but it might still be the best middle ground?

Unless I need make a desktop complex GUI program where SPA could be a reasonable choice, I will just do the html/ajax old way, not fully geared towards to server or client side rendering, life is much easier.
