Just because software is made available using a public web server does not mean that you are free to use it as you please. It's distributed along with a ToS agreement that governs its use.

Bringing in words like "illegal" can be fraught because I don't think we've seen a court case (in the US at least) about exactly how binding a "click-wrap" agreement actually is, but there's no question that projects like the one linked upthread violate the terms of the software license.
> ...each participant is doing local recording which is progressively uploaded to our servers so as soon as the call ends...

I was wondering where this product was, and/or why some of the podcasts I listen to don't use something like this.

This works on a browser, though? What if the guest forgets that they still need to upload the tail end of their data and closes their browser?

"nearly all your taxes get spent on building a palace"

hyperbole much? like, really?

"all your taxes" - 12 trillion roubles, roughly $171 billion in one year out of the total federal budget of ~20 trillion roubles ($285 billion)
Федеральная налоговая служба администрировала за год доходы на 12 трлн 612,13 млрд рублей
https://www.interfax.ru/business/691856

the palace, whoever owns it, cost ~$1.5 billion, presumably over 15 years
> Стоимость дворца с постройками ФБК оценивает в 100 миллиардов рублей

"siloviki" budget - 2 trillion roubles, ~$28 billion
https://www.rbc.ru/politics/23/10/2016/580a526d9a7947cb56546...

military budget - $65 billion
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_...

Let's do some math:
$28 billion for the "police"
$65 billion for the military (U.S. spends ~$700 billion of the total federal budget of $3.9 trillion for FY2018, that's about ~20%, about the same)
$1.5 billion for the "palace"

None of this stuff combined is "nearly all your taxes", so why would you claim something like that? "more police and military" seems to be no different then what the other countries are doing. The dude might have stolen this palace, but why would you make nonsensical claims?
"The economy" probably wouldn't matter to the typical Albertan anyway. While I definitely would love to hear from local voices, I imagine that it's similar to Alaska: The oil pipelines give everybody a few hundred USD/CAD per year, and that's enough to make it worth living there. Is giving hundreds of dollars to Albertans worth the ruined lives and histories of Dakotans? It's not clear.
I do something similar. I just keep my closet organized by type of item (pants together, button down shirts together, etc). A stuff is worn/laundered, they go to the left. Stuff that rarely gets worn slowly moves to the right as worn items displace unworn.

Every few months, I look to the right and if I see things I never wore (and have no plans to wear), I donate them. Obv I don't do this with out of season items, but generally, work shirts are work shirts (if it's cold, I add a cardigan or blazer).

Unlike the blog author, I don't track underwear. First, all my undershirts are the same - I'd have to label them to differentiate. I tend to simply chuck them all in the "rags" bin once a year and replace en masse. And underpants last for ages, so I don't see the need to bother.

I should track shoes, just to see what happens. They're so specialized and seasonal, I haven't bothered. Chukkas for winter, loafers for 3 season wear, boat shoes for the worst of summer, etc.
Amazing to see people leave money on the table for good for the users.

Thank you for the info! Incase it helps, we’ve been running our own WebRTC infrastructure (TURN servers only at the moment) for the last 5 years. It’s globally distributed, fault tolerant and allows us to mitigate the high costs. We’re doing 10s of TB of traffic at a fraction of the cost. Would be happy to discuss our infra incase it helps.

Not necessarily. Also, there are lots of big players that don't care about small clients with their 'minimum 50 licences' approach. That's where the opportunities are.

You can't just look at the clients, you have to consider a VPN protocol holistically. Do you think that most VPN installations are going to run two different gateways side-by-side so that they can provide Protocol X for Platforms A and B, and Protocol Y for Platforms C and D? (Even worse: X for just Platform A, and Y for literally every other user.)
Isn't it the case already? The first 3 results of some search terms (e.g. "mattress") already go to the highest bidders.
>blindly shovel money at problems.

Strawman fallacy. OP specifically said we need to appropriately fund teachers such that they don't need to buy school supplies out of pocket.

>I'm not proposing solutions

Fair enough. Some people are in fact proposing solutions (fund teachers), so I guess we will go with the only proposal on the board.
In every dbms I have used count(*) is optimized to just count rows a fast as possible. count(column name) might actually be slower as it has to check for null values.

Same goes for EXISTS(select * from table)

I have seen many use count(1) and EXISTS (select 1 from table) this is mostly superstition and ends up getting optimized to the same as * at least now days.

> “I was thrilled with those results,” says Neuman. “Even though we were hamstrung by the lower clock speed, we made up for it by just being more efficient.”

So besides the lampoon-ability of this article as inventing new words for old concepts (hardware acceleration) which I am not qualified to lob (and therefore only hint at ;) ), how much more software efficiency is out there to 'mine' out of standard CPU/RAM/Storage Von Neumann-style computing devices?

Some people claim that moving things from Electron to native would be a huge speedup, and I don't disagree with that, somehow a Windows 98 box provided 95%+ of today's computing experience (I can't speak for older things like Amigas, Apple ][s/Lisas/etc) at like 1% of the computing power.

But what do I know, maybe all the software efficiency in the world has been wrung out and there is no more low-hanging fruit? And/or that is the case for robotics but not for general computing.
Cloud gaming is where we're headed, arguably Google might have been a little early - but they probably rather wanted to be too early than too late.

There's already a few players in this space that are well respected like Nvidia, growth is kinda unavoidable and arguably Stadia gives you the best experience since all games are optimized for it, with the trade-off of having to "rebuy" them outside of Steam.

You can arrive at the same by slicing in nearly any manner you wish: vertical dx strips, horizontal dy strips, radial dtheta strips, concentric rings treated as rectangles, diagonal strips, literally anything you wish.

If you've never set up and worked a few, try the dx version and the dy version, then maybe fiddle with a few others. They all work.

The concentric rings one is trivial to work out. Integrate over r from 0 to R. Each ring at radius r has thickness dr, and has length 2 pi r, treated simply as a rectangle, which is "close enough" since each is arbitrarily thin. Then the integral is

int_0^R 2 pi r dr = 2pi r^2/2 from 0 to R = pi R^2.

A really pretty one cuts the circle into wedges, then rearranges them by alternating direction to make a "rectangle" approx r high, approx pi * r wide, with bumpy top and bottom. In the limit this has area pi * r * r, and can be shown to kids without needing calculus.

And it's not magic or circular, since pi is defined (in this case...) as the ratio of circumference to diameter.
Yes, the license allows it. So, technically they can. But you have to admit that it's a bit of a dick move.

The reality is, ElasticSearch with all of it's capabilities would not exist if the company would not exist.

How many other new interesting products will no longer be built as open source, because they know that AWS can just co-opt them and then their business will be effectively over.

The laws and licences cannot possibly cover all the details of the real world, there needs to be some humanity involved, some "let's try to not be assholes" attitude.

I prefer to live in a world where I'm not required to be a robot. Following all the clauses and laws to all the details will end up with that. It's not a great path.

We all need more empathy.
>all interesting and robust in its own ways but not all that competitive in terms of performance, so,

Really? The most performing rocket-engine for a long time was the Russian RD-170. The most impressive performing Fighter (aeronautic wise the Su-27) The fastest Sub also Russian, the biggest ICBM (R-36M) too and so on.

>best they managed to build were AKs, Soyuz, Chernobyl

The US did Agent Orange, Fat Man and Apollo 1, was that the best the US manged to build?
No. I just switched off my mobile and I still can send messages on desktop with Signal.

> exploit gaps in Open Source licensing

Allowing others to fork for profit and give nothing back is entirely the point of permissive licenses.

"Permissive" means exactly that developers are permitted to give nothing back. Licenses without this permission are generally copyleft.

> The permissiveness of open source was one thought to be "we can all succeed together"

Not at all. That's the spirit of copyleft. The spirit of permissive licenses is that "I don't want developers to have to give anything back."

Usually this is done to deliberately allow private companies to profit off of the work without having to disclose their proprietary improvements. That is, presumably, why MIT and Berkeley licenses are permissive: they moved IP out of the university system into silicon valley as a type of indirect economic stimulus.

Why not? Many other languages have closures and even Python has lambdas. Multi-line closures work well for these languages including in map/reduce/etc or comprehensions where applicable. Seems like your preference is overfit to Python’s limitations.
Censorship is the suppression or prohibition of speech. If the NY Times doesn't publish your letter to the editor but you can post it on Facebook and have a reasonably proportionate number of people able to read it in practice, it's not being effectively suppressed. If neither they nor anyone else with a similar reach will carry it, that's censorship.

It has nothing to do with who does it and everything to do with whether the idea is being suppressed in practice.
Note that scattering can actually be beneficial if you have too much load for a single node when the data is hot. Of course you can solve this with weird sharding such as sharding on the least significant byte.
But that includes setting up and maintaining it, as well as troubleshooting when there's an issue.

For some, $10/month is a nice way to have all that worry-free.

Silicon Valley salaries are something else. ARM in Cambridge paid their interns something like £20-22K around 5 years ago. No wonder almost none of them stayed on as graduates.
We NEVER wear shoes inside our homes in Macedonia, but going to the gym I was required to bring "indoor shoes/sneakers". Ie. ones that I will use exclusively there or indoor environments. Helps keep the gym cleaner.

I guess what I'm saying is, it's not an American thing, it's a gym thing.
Obviously people wear shoes indoors outside of the home. (The norm for a gym would presumably be a pair of sneakers.)

In the US, my experience is that people will sometimes/often take off shoes when they come into a home especially if they're going to track in snow, mud, etc. But it's certainly nothing like a universal rule and probably isn't even the norm.

But arcs only happen when the contacts are almost-but-not-entirely closed, I suppose (ionization could be a factor). This time-period is, I suppose, very short, much shorter than the 10 milliseconds of the AC half-wave.

I suspect the arc could cause the contact to stick for a while, which may increase the arc time.

It “suddenly thrusts” you absolutely nowhere. You still earn exactly as much as you do now, but it is interesting to observe the psychological effect of being surrounded by people who are more miserable than oneself.
This is a shame, seemed like a really interesting project but I'm hopeful that Starlink and other technologies will fill the gap of low(ish) costs internet in developing markets... definitely don't want to depend on free basics to subsidize people's data plans forever (and lock people into the FB ecosystem to the point they think FB & Whatsapp are the internet)
there's still system level packages that you might need, which may come into version conflicts among each other.

note: me too I default to virtualenv for local development, however there are usecases where this becomes insufficient.

That is some very selective concern you have about free speech. We just spent 4 years under a president directly attacking the free press and any individual dating to criticize him in any way, an absolute assault on free speech by the head of our government, which is exactly what the first amendment protects us against.
In terms of right wing terrorism vs. left wing facts are just a simple google search away. Protests which are free speech are not terrorism.

<Things like jeans really only need to be washed a couple of times a year

Biannual laundry might be taking it too far! Jeans don’t need washing every day, and I will often use the same ones for a couple of weeks, especially while WFH. But after a couple of weeks you might notice a bit of odor if you bring them close(ok most people won’t get close enough to smell your jeans). And they will noticeably loosen, wrinkle, and lose the more form fitting shape they have after a hot wash/dry.
We do a lot of work with SaaS businesses helping them with product design and if needed capital and development.

Our primary work is in remote work for non-desktop people and educational/video space plus live ecommerce which seems to be the areas that are really thriving right now.

Even if covid passes organizations will still be looking for tools that makes them resillient to that kind of disruption again.

So plenty of areas to dig into.

(P.s. If you have ideas and are looking for product design or seed capital just DM me would love to talk with you)

Or, better yet, instead of sinking that negotiation 100% of the time after your last sentence, you could give obviously large sum and tell them you are open to negotiation once you had your chance to present yourself and the company present themselves.

Not only this shows a little more negotiation savvy, but once in a blue moon this could give you an offer you have not expected. For example, they could just say "OK".
This can happen with any vaccine that isn't 100% effective. You get strong selection pressure towards mutations where the vaccine is less effective.

Your solution is a very interesting take on the issue, and it is definitely worth giving it a try.

It reminds me of Aether (https://getaether.net/) which has an interesting moderation process: Everyone receives all the content, and some mods also distribute a list of what should be hidden. This keeps the traditional system of human moderation, which will tend to become monopolized by a group of people, but this group of people must do what the users want because it is really easy to demote them. It's not exactly multi-centralization as you define in your article but rather centralization with a very powerful check

(Keep the original image, because when someone has seen the problem it's nice to see the original photo.)

I hope that someone that is an expert can give a better answer, but my guess is that the sensor of the camera is slightly broken and you will have to buy a new phone soon.
Personal preference on what you want to wear that day and what the rest of your clothes looks like?

I have at least 8 pairs of sneakers now in the shoe closet in the hallway + 4 or 5 "good Sunday shoes" and 2 pairs of cold weather / walking shoes.

Sneakers don't really age and your size doesn't change, they only get old when worn. So there is no reason not to buy several color combinations you like and wear whichever you think looks nice today. I would call I think half of mine "white" but in more detail they have different stripes and styles.

Dress shoes the same, they last forever and I have them in more or less formal looking as well as colors that match different suits/belts combinations.
Ah, one of the selling points of the reMarkable is its "distraction-free" environment :)
> I'm not too worried about the client being closed source, especially not when the server is open sourced.

> For Syncthing there is of course the potential problem of the client leaking the secrets to the author, giving them unauthenticated access to the server.

Yes, that is the risk. It is significant because the credentials entered into the closed source Mobiussync app (that wraps the open source Syncthing node) would allow the author (if malicious, which I have no reason to believe they are) to access all of your files (even if your other nodes are behind firewalls, by design).

Now, I’d like to believe Mobiussync is doing the right thing. It aligns with their economic interests to not steal credentials, since nothing would kill their app sales faster if found out. I imagine it also would be easy to detect if the app was exfiltrating credentials by monitoring app communications. I’ve also read the announcement post: https://forum.syncthing.net/t/isyncthing-ios-client-for-sync... and appreciated the way the author engaged with the Syncthing community here: https://forum.syncthing.net/t/mobius-sync-ios-client-now-in-... . Based on my assessment of their conduct and the factors above, I feel almost certain Mobiussync does the right thing by its users.

But economic incentives change, authors change, bugs in code happen, and a good feeling is not the same as verifiability. The risk may be small but at stake is all your data.

I’d certainly pay more than the (very reasonable) price the authors ask for, for the additional peace of mind given by open source.
Sounds like a great way to encourage similar retaliation against Australian exports. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
I used to deal with it by not paying my internet bills. It helps
It's not exclusively, but you find a lot of "indie hackers" come up with business opportunities based on following/reading/speak to other indie hackers and then market to other indie hackers and so the cycle continues
