This seems like a very arbitrary and capricious partition between those doing something for 'clout' and those doing it because they can't help themselves.

Do you think the people now being attacked in this thread because they originally called for Richard Stallman to face consequences are being 'canceled'? I see a lot of people claiming nobody should take them seriously ever again, blah blah blah. Sounds like 'canceling' to me. Is this mob any better than the supposed 'cancel culture' mob?

In other words: should we stop using the term 'cancel culture' only in one direction?
Just wanted to point out: This is a study with 21 subjects, split into three groups. Those are very small numbers.

This "we can make cows climate friendly with seaweed" story pops up regularly. Call me skeptical as long as this is based on a few small studies and nobody ever tried this at scale.
You're not the only one here? And pedantry is rather immaterial in the long run.

Stallman certainly fits the bill, but when it is time to render a judgement we all need to focus on the details. We need to render a judgement on what actually happened, not what quick-to-outrage folks imagined happened. Details matter here.

A few people appear to believe that when something very bad happens we need to expand culpability to include everyone in the neighborhood who's not sufficiently condemning. I hope it is a minority viewpoint.

I fully support more transparency and accessibility of information. I think governments should make the details of real estate transactions easily searchable, and most do in the US!

But if a group of people want to organize and maintain that info in a certain way, and have their notes, and get paid for doing that, is that not their right?
Well yeah, the API isn't going to let them keep tracking your users.

For me Google "verbatim" is the best way to get focussed results although it's too bad it doesn't allow date ranges. Bing search with appropriate use of guotes, + and - operators and date ranges usually beats non-verbatim Google search, and it can sometimes be better than Google verbatim.

Exercise Activity Thermogenesis is about 5% of calories, so the least significant contribution in total calories.

Reduced NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis/walking/fidgeting) is a bigger factor by an order of magnitude.

100% of weight gain is due to net caloric surplus. The main contribution by far is eating more calories.

How I priced my side project
Because plan 9 was developed naturally in the Lab as an evolution of Unix research.

Inferno on the other hand was a blunt force attempt by Lucent to leapfrog Sun by halting Plan 9 development for a whole year forcing the team to instead work on Inferno. It was a commercial project to produce a product which was in stark contrast to the more academic/research oriented development of Plan 9.

Unfortunately, this hamfisted attempt by Lucent left Inferno in a state of Limbo, pun intended. The target was more along the lines of embedded systems like set top boxes and early PDA's. The Dis VM also suffers from hard coded 32bit pointer magic which means it only builds on 32bit plan 9 or in a 32bit chroot under a unix-like for hosted mode. And finally, the Charon web browser has a bug that crashes the Dis VM. I have yet to see it boot on bare metal hardware in its entirety. These reasons are why Plan 9 gets all the love, it works out of the box on 386/amd64 and arm32/arm64 (Rpi, Zynq, etc)

Though not all is lost. Someone is working on getting it to build on 64bit 9front and OpenBSD, though the code is very much a WIP (if interested, hop into #cat-v on freenode and ask about the Inferno 64 bit port). It's not completely dead. Patches welcome :-)
Default search might have gotten better, but it also became virtually impossible to do any complex queries. Google is being too smart and it's extremely hard to find old results, foreign results, other meanings of a popular keyword. It's always trying to force you to the same results, whatever you try. Oh, and if it's anything you can buy you get loads of ads followed by spam.
Probably a lot easier to let poor people go and help home owners directly.
Questionnaires are definitely a pain point for folks, but I'll have to wait and see if it's really viable to outsource them.

I know SpaceX gets plenty of government funding these days but, unless I'm significantly mistaken, that isn't how they boot-strapped. To me this is a case study of an agile entrepreneur creating value and savings for customers through innovation versus giant incumbents encumbered by bureaucracy and being unable to adapt until they are threatened with being pushed into insolvency or extinction.
IMO features are fine and its more about the cognitive load put into the happy path, which still seems low.

Contract-First Development Using RestAssured and OpenAPI
Well .. there was a couple recent news reports that U.S. Space Force paid out $316 million for a single mission[1]. The excuse was that this high fee was required in order to make capital investments to the infrastructure ...

So if the government pays for you to build out your infrastructure you then own and use to secure other contracts ... isn't that a subsidy? Do you not think that will make SpaceX more competitive in the market? ULA got similar treatment, so I'm not saying it's all SpaceX but they are living off of government dole (in a way that is more than just providing a competitive service to the government)

The poop-testing startup was outright defrauding its customers and their insurance companies. This is qualitatively and legally different from price gouging/discrimination/inflation for bona fide medical services.

The argument is akin to saying "what about the Sackler family" in response to a criticism of Theranos, as though that somehow vindicates Theranos.

At best, you're suggesting the "everyone's doing it" defense applies in this case. If a cop won't let you out of a speeding ticket because others, too, were speeding, then why should we let the poop-testing startup off the hook because other crimes have also been committed in the same broken system?

> eventually there won't be any incentive to create the content Google is scraping

It's an interesting hypothesis, but it assumes the only reason people bother to seek and aggregate facts is to get paid (and the only way to get paid is click-through to ads). No doubt that early surfacing of data could disrupt payment-for-visit-dependent models, but that doesn't guarantee the data evaporates from Google's view or that new payment models don't arise to replace the old.
I don't see any reason why Google can't pay for using your website's content on their search engine. Looks to me exactly like the same deal they've been cutting with media owners from Australia & France. The law should cut this side too. For individual content owners as well.
> The code of conduct provides a process for people to address grievances.

No, that's the general procedure for handling adding and removing board members. It's the same procedure you'd follow if someone was arrested in the middle of the meeting.

A code of conduct is about the specific conduct. Picking your teeth, insulting tall people, etc.

> I don't think it's easy to game a code of conduct. Could you explain

If there is a written code it has to declare where the lack of gender recognition offense is compared to screaming at someone, for instance. If the code lists your pet offense above screaming, which they all do, then you can scream at people about your pet issue all day with zero risk.

If none of this is mentioned then it all falls back to the law. This is better because more skilled people have done more work on it, and because it's outside of the group's mandate so they can let members deal with it outside of the group. I can't follow you through a 7-11 yelling at you so you can apply the same rules to our official interactions and call the police if I act unruly in a meeting, no vote required.

Also, how does voting work when not only the level of offense, but the standard of offense itself is subjective. Does an accused director get to vote on whether the claimed offense falls into a listed class, but then have to recuse themselves for the vote on the seriousness of the specific claim? Or are they expected to recuse themselves from everything? How many directors do you need to accuse at once before quorum is you alone?

Generally nobody sees why you can't tell people about the specific anti-fraud rules until they work in a fraud-rife industry and watch the arms race. If you haven't been involved with multiple non-profits you might not have experienced this yet.

> I said that he should be replaced because he wasn't doing a satisfactory job.

But the thing he wasn't satisfying you by doing was enacting a code of conduct?

> I think that some of these problems could have been avoided if he made a stronger distinction between the GNU project and the FSF

Good point. I think everyone running things should try not to co-mingle their jobs. But this isn't a code of conduct issue, it's more appropriate as one of the basic requirements for a director. No conflicts of interest.

> Not wanting a code of conduct is [...] just bad policy for large projects

No, a code of conduct is a kiss of death. It adds nothing that honest members of the group need but gives trolls and ideologues a field day.

A group should never have rules about things outside of its core tasks, unless it wants 90% of its time to be spent arguing about things outside of its core tasks.
Yup I agree. It's surprisingly better.
Even if they did "pin it on him," why should he care, exactly? Seems to me like he had no obligations here, contractual, ethical, or otherwise.

> there's just no realistic chance a novel virus coincidentally originates in the same isolated place as a lab that specializes in that exact same type of virus.

I think that it is at least somewhat likely that it was the result of the lab's activities, but your assertion here has a huge dose of selection bias.

If the virology labs studying coronaviruses were placed randomly around the world, you'd be correct - but they're not. They're placed near locations where novel coronaviruses have crossed the species barrier in the past, and where they are likely to do so in the future.

It would be equivalent to say that lighthouses cause ships to run aground, because many teams when ships run aground it's near a lighthouse.

I feel that Gitlab needs to optimize for the 90% use case instead of adding more features.

For example does anyone else find Gitlabs diff lacking? It makes reviewing large patches painful, with the seemingly constant fetching of individual file diffs and inability to show large file diffs. The UI in general feels sluggish, especially when compared to something like Gerrit or GitHub.
The main problem with google search is that results are driven mostly by interests other than the user doing the search.

> the government should be raiding Google offices

I can't get behind this. Suggesting that corporations be raided by the government is not a good idea.

To my knowledge, Google has not denied any information requests they've received (or been subpoenaed for), and actively work with law enforcement in circumstances required of them. If we get to a point where they stand in contempt of court ordered information requests, perhaps this becomes appropriate, but let's not jump straight there because they're a big (huge) company. Many, if not most companies have private information that only they would know about their company and don't have the expectation of turning it over, I don't think scale changes that.
My thoughts exactly. And even this seems to be getting harder. I keep reading about "smart" TVs which barely function if they're not allowed to phone home, and IOT devices which query their own hardcoded DNS servers, ignoring whatever your DHCP server has told them to do.

I think it's only a matter of time before we start seeing more and more of these things with built in cellular modems which can't be disabled. Makes me want to start stockpiling older technology in order to prepare for a time when every single available lightbulb, washing machine, TV, or vacuum cleaner has to be online all the time and controlled by some privacy destroying app.

I'm only half joking when I say that I can imagine a future where something purely mechanical is considered the height of luxury. Look at this! A door lock with a metal key which doesn't log and transmit the comings and goings of your family and friends. Incredible! If only we could afford such a thing, but there are only a few artisans left in the world who can make them...
I've heard this is a kind of symptom of people who have ADHD, some of them have grace under pressure.

AI Farce, Fiction, & Reality – Dr. Missy Cummings
I'd prefer to recognise immediately that there are no results & reframe my query that to start to scan down through the results, maybe click into one & start to read only _then_ to realise it doesn't relate, back to Google — "oh, they didn't actually search for what I told them to search for" & then reach the same point they could've given me at the start.

At least there should be a checkbox for "make a best guess when limited results" / "give me my exact search query" (maybe there is somewhere & I've missed this)

The author speculates that this is a direct side effect of Google searches being monetized by ads, and therefore targeting multiple searches.

I don't think that's the case. I think this has more to do with the fact that Google now deliberately surfaces as much information - including summaries, answers, tools and widgets - in the search results page itself, which incentivizes searching without a subsequent click. Google very much wants you to end your search journey on google.com, but I think that's because they believe it will keep people coming back. I do not think Google directly tries to keep people searching for the same thing.

This may still raise interesting antitrust concerns though.
In a related note I think the space for EV battery repair/reconditioning is going to be huge. All those present and future cars on the road are going to need their battery packs fixed in the future and the manufacturers are not set up for that. If I had $1MM to invest in an idea/company, it would be this one.
Google's goal, for a long time, has been precisely this experience.

The company mission statement is "Organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." Nothing about that statement says "redirect web traffic to third-party sites." They consider it an inconvenience to the user (a negative signal) if the user has to click through.
Really cool! I assume it would be possible to take the pictures you have, turn them into 1s and 0s via some sort of image processing, then pop out actual code?

>if you have two juxtaposed slices backed by the same contiguous block of memory, growing the former will write over the latter, but you quickly learn that you should virtually never be appending to slices that don't have sole ownership over their backing memory.

You also may have to learn the hard way that saving a pointer to an entry of a slice that is later appended to may, or may not, depending on len()<cap(), produce an unintended copy.

>I particularly disagree here as well. There's often one way to do something in Go, and I've had very good luck by Googling "How to do x in Go?".

How about deciding whether a heavily-used pure-function method should take a whole struct as its receiver, or instead a pointer to it?

If a whole struct, then non-modification of the receiver is guaranteed by the compiler, a great boon to the code maintainer.

If a pointer, then any number of members may be added to the struct with no performance penalty per invocation.

How to choose?
