> There is an alternative model that many artists are pushing for which is a the "user centric' distribution model. In that model the calculation of payments is based on the listening habits of each individual user. A simplified examples is that I only listen to one artist in a given month. In the user centric model the entire 10% of record labels 70% usually allocated to the artist cut is paid to that artist rather than those streams being calculated as percentage of all songs streamed from that one of the big 3's record label's massive catalogs.

Then they should push for that specifically, but it would not change the average rate paid per stream, but rebalance payments away from artists which are listened to by heavy music users towards artists which are listened to light music users.

Congrats on releasing this. I'm a big believer in declarative schema management. Migrate looks great, and I like how it allows autopilot, but that workflow step to inspect the generated migration AND to alter it, if it's incorrect or sub-optimal. This looks like a great tool.

We've been working on a similar tool that we've since donated to the CNCF and is now a Sandbox project (https://schemahero.io) that uses YAML to define a schema, and it's controlled by a Kubernetes operator. We realized that version control for the schema is great, and then you get GitOps integration so you can easily deploy and rollback. One of the compelling values of YAML for us was a) Kubernetes, so it's a default and b) Open Policy Agent can start to introduce a policies.

Prsima Migrate looks great. I think we'll see more tools like this as folks want to version control and implement policies and store metadata around their schemas to tightly couple the deployment to the app version.

Chicken and egg. You need to invest in order to get the prices down.

Did you want to wait for Solar to be price-competitive with gas before we started using it? That doesn't make any sense. The reason solar is so competitive these days is because we invested massively while it was still expensive. This has not happened with nuclear in its entire history, because we lack the political will (mostly thanks to anti-nuclear FUDders) to do so.

> would you want every new software or protocol to have to go through some kind of bureaucratic review before it can be used?

Absolutely yes if said protocol is to be used by an entire population as a basic means of communication. Either by the government or a non-profit not tied to the industry. Protocols should also not be allowed to be secret if used at scale.

I see no reason to make a distinction between computer protocols and in-person safety protocols. The threat level is different, but it covers just as many (if not more) people.

Just a hit piece following AOC's propaganda claiming that UBI is a trojan horse to dismantle social services. Yang's Freedom Dividend policy proposal - which isn't what he can propose if elected as Mayor of NYC - would be optional: you can get the $1,000/month OR keep your current cash and cash-like monthly vouchers - you get to choose what is best for your specific circumstances, because the government shouldn't be the ones to pick, and Yang has no plan of dismantling those services; that people claim it's a trojan horse is fear mongering while they conveniently ignore that Yang many times has said he's not wanting or going to dismantle existing social programs.
Especially in a post-COVID world where home offices are more common and possibly with even less travel, I think battery life is quite overrated for many people. I have a Serval Workstation (i.e. high-power laptop) from System76 and absolutely love it. The battery doesn't last very long especially if I'm doing heavy-lifting on the GPU, but I very rarely go somewhere I can't plug in. I need to be able to fold up my "workstation" and take it with me, sure. But I can work from the airport, many planes, from my couch, from most coffee shops, etc. I just have to plug in when I get there. I would rather plug in when I get somewhere and have a much more powerful machine at my desk.

Github is a good comparison here because obviously anyone can run a Git server but Github did create a lot of value adds and the UI helped build a network effect for the ease os use, cloning, PRs and so on.

What's more, Github became the engine for dependency management. Go springs to mind here. I actually thought this was a terrible system (eg putting repo owner names in import strings) but it speaks to ubiquity of Github.

But what are Docker images? Maybe a few hundred lines of Dockerscript at the end of the day.

Losing in orchestration I think was the obvious big fail. But they had an uphill battle here anyway because you really need to integrate such a thing with cloud platforms.

I'm really not sure what Docker could've done differently here.

The same goes for overbearing counties and their permitting. If I could just shirk off the local regulations or they could be opt-in, the world would be a much different place.

An HOA is effectively just a contractual micro-state, and conversely, some counties are a scaled HOA.

That said, I agree with you. I think HOAs are stupid, at least in the context of telling people what their shrubs should look like or what color to paint their house.

We had enough wealth for everyone to have what we need a long time ago. No matter how much we have humans always want more. AI won't change that.
I love the right to repair and also Apple products. I have seen over the years how they have struggled back and forth with the line between what they want to allow customers to do and what they want to do. Sometimes I'm disappointed by their decisions. Many times I am impressed with how they handle themselves.

They have fixed multiple out of warranty problems for free or for parts-only, where other companies would have charged much more to do so. I think they don't flaunt this customer service because they don't want people to take it for granted, and they don't want to attract the type of customer that would abuse the policy.

Currently, all expenses are paid from my personal savings and the day job. We are working on the next release which will offer two options [consult and promote] to monetize the service.

As mentioned earlier, the focus is making it easier for buyers and sellers to interact, while maintaining privacy. I remain convinced that there are effective ways to monetize the service without going the traditional advertising route that is so common today.

For sure, billion dollar businesses have been build on the current model. My hope is that we can advance to a new model, where we do not sacrifice personal privacy for the sake of accessing a useful service. To be determined if we can be part of that new solution.
> Docker alone cannot solve this category of issues anyway.

Docker does comes with an orchestrator out of the box, it's called Docker Swarm. You may not use it, but it's there and it's up to you to use it or not. It's extremely simple to setup, a single command on the manager and another one on the worker. It support healthcheck, replication, etc.... all super simples to setup too.

Sure doing all theses will takes, what 30 minutes? Instead of the 5 he took for his deployment, but it does solve that issue, natively, out of the box.

Oh and my docker image always have the "blessed" [insert environment here] version, thus everyone always use it while testing locally. If you need to update it, anyone can do it easily, without any knowledge of the build server environment, nor any special access to it.
The first "real" Java program I wrote back in 1997 was a huge applet. It was the replacement for an existing X Windows application, with 42 screens. The applet itself worked great, but the networking technology at the time was such that when all the users on a network segment started their browser and launched the applet, it bogged things down to a crawl. Still, when it was loaded it was amazing (for 1997). It looked almost exactly like the original application, and updates were as easy as putting a new jar file onto the web server.
So it's not actually a market-making system, but rather a superficial point system disguised as 'dollars.'
Their initial product was a platform-as-a-service (dotCloud), which wasn't free, aside from the early beta. Docker was essentially a pivot. I see no evidence that the company was founded as a nefarious scheme to get users addicted to a free product.
Hey I like the product so I'm going to give the most critical feedback I can think of.

* Are you going to be around 3 years from now? Do you want to work on this project for the next 3+ years?

* If initial attempts at monetization don't work could customers become the product?

* How do I get data OUT of the product if I outgrow it or switch to a different platform later on.
What I need from migrations is collaboration.

When I make a schema migration locally and push it to the repository, then 3 other PRs with their own migrations are being merged before mine, it is very likely that my local database will be in the wrong state.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but using an ORM (be it Django, Prisma, liquibase, ...) to handle your migrations will only generate the SQL queries for you, it won't handle "migration history merges" which is what you'll most likely need.

Your schema may be versioned in your repository, but not your data.

Therefore, you still need to coordinate your developers when database change are needed. And you'll most likely need to rm -rf your database locally and recreate it.

Unfortunately, that is not an easy problem to solve. Fortunately, this should not be a problem on production environments (where their history is more linear).

I'd be curious of any work on that subject.
I don't need to look up that argument because it is well known, it shows up here pretty much on every discussion on this topic. It's repetitive, it's boring. And it is wrong. It doesn't say much and worse, it does not explain anything. It is so open to interpretation that is useless. Using it in an argument is intellectually lazy. But so is saying "rich people take all the wealth".

The free market and being rational are tools that are proven to work. They brought all the advances we enjoy every day in our life. I am eager to learn the other tools you propose instead.

Oh, and of course I am aware of Piketty. I also know he is wrong, laughably and demonstrably so. Not the first economist to be wrong, anyway. Turns out being well known doesn't make you right - kind of like Marx I guess.
Right, and currently we are barely building any nuclear reactors, so the prices people are quoting as the $/MWh are the prices when you have zero economies of scale.

Meanwhile the prices people are quoting for solar are with massive economies of scale at this point.

We need economies of scale, and I'm not talking about 1970s scale, I'm talking about scale.

When they seem interested, go to scratch and do something together and let them do the driving. Make something simple with quick results then talk about ways to improve it.

Americans need to realize that, outside the US, nobody really cares anymore about the trope "China is tracking mobile apps". The reason is that everyone knows that US agencies are already doing this (remember Snowden?). So non-US customers feel that is just fine for competition if other countries can provide them with technology, even with the downside of the sporadic spying thing. It basically is better to have competition than being in the hands of a single superpower which, as Donald Trump has shown, can easily become out of control.

By the way, nothing was better for China than the big show provided by Trump and his minions in the US during the last four years. It showed that nobody can trust 100% on the US to uphold democratic values.

> What i need more is a smart ORM which gives me tool to calculate dependent fields based on other fields changes, then automatically store it on a field.

Is the ORM really the layer where you want those features? Because at the RDBMS layer you have views, materialized views, and triggers for that.

If you really want this at the ORM level, you can do it in RoR with e.g. model callbacks or custom attribute writers.

> Secondly, it should provide smart many2many relationship with smart caching techniques. Those are features that prevents me to continue with RoR.

RoR's many2many associations already do caching, though.

I don't see what you're lacking with RoR on either point.
Would the original authors of Unix agree with your opinions on how to define the term?

Does AT&T's c. 1980 port of Unix to run on top of IBM's TSS/370 mainframe operating system [0] count as a real Unix? It appears that Ritchie did think it was a Unix, he linked to the paper from his page on Unix portability [1].

So is your definition of "Unix" broad enough to include that system? If not, you are defining the term differently from how Ritchie defined it; in which case I think we should prefer Ritchie's definition to yours. (McIlroy's maxims are explicating the Unix philosophy, but I don't read him as saying that systems which historically count as Unix aren't really Unix if they fall short in following his maxims.)

This article is weird — it seems to be making the claim that any damage to an animal, intentional or not, related to the filming or not, should void the label — which is to me wholly unreasonable.

A lack of sufficient precaution I’d agree with, like the ocean explosion or the lion example — same as with a human injury on set - but the article uses as examples death by cancer (dogs) and age (elderly giraffe) which IMO is one hell of a stretch. The label, in my mind, is to represent that the animals were not abused or in poor condition or poorly considered to make the film — accidents that occur despite preventative measures are just that, accidents, and blameless. Long term disease is also blameless.

My understanding is that owners of Tesla do not have to pay for electricity to charge cars. It might be similar to other companies, where their electricity used for charging is currently subsidized also by government.

That might change in future and sooner than we realize, especially when current trend is about self-sustainability. Switching all cars to run on electricity does not mean, that in future there will suddenly be more electricity(that will mainly be green), than we have now, so owners of current Teslas in future might be slapped with extra tax, because they are not self-charging. Future Teslas might have solar panels installed, but hardly that will be concern of Elon Musk, as his main income is not related to Tesla Inc, where he now owns only 18% shares and he earns more from space by ripping off NASA.

> The point is that this "decentralized" movement has a central organization that has a lot of money donated to it,

It doesn't, though. There are several large national organizations (BLMGNF, M4BL, and others) associated with the movement, not a single central organization.

> and that the central/important tenets of that central organization probably has some measurable influence in deciding which "decentralized" parts of the organization get funding/donations/focus/marketing.

The tenets of the various organizations do obviously play a role in how they distribute funds, and the tenets of the various large and small organizations play a big role in which of them get funding donated to them by various donors.

> So if the "BLM" organization views the nuclear family as something that has to be abolished

Which, contrary to the misrepresentations, none of the major movement-related organizations do; a number of movement-related organizations have said things about policies which are punitive to families outside of that assumed norm as part of institutional racism especially in the presence of other institutional and social factors which result in more Black children not being raised in nuclear families.

> then one can assume that they wouldn't donate to local BLM chapters that don't subscribe to that idea

One can also assume that, if that were true, it would be competitive fundraising advantage to other movement organizations (e.g., direct donations to local orgs, if this really was the single central organization) without that belief, to the extent that the belief conflicted with the grassroots. But since there is neither a single central org nor any major org with the viewpoint being criticized, it's moot.

> With this whole "decentralized" argument, we might as well say the Republican/Democratic parties are decentralized

No, you might as well say the that the “right-to-far-right political alignment” and the “center-right to moderate left political alignment” are decentralized movements.

The Democratic and Republican parties are centralized organizations, in ways that the BLM movement is not.
