> I didn’t say anything about the current level of division, or the quantum. I am not arguing against a step change either.

The examples you used from the 1990s make no sense at all as an argument against a change starting in the 1990s resulting in the current situation, though they make some sense as an argument against a rapid step change in the 1990s. “Misdirected but coherent” was, I thought, the most generous interpretation.

> And the “always” came after “Democrats seem to have settled on”. I did not say anything about what happened in the past, and did not use that evidence.

So what is your argument based on? Pure fantasy?

> My point was that Democrats have said a system of gender and racial selection will be used in the future.

(1) That’s not what you claimed, you said they seemed to have settled on a fixed 1 woman + 1 man ticket for the President and Vice President, not “a system of gender and racial selection will be used in the future”.

(2) The Democrats have not, in fact, said that anything other than the votes of the delegates at the nominating convention, without gender or racial quotas, will be used in the future to select presidential and vice-presidential nominees, and, starting with the 2020 election cycle, changed the rules so that party insiders who might want to impose such a quota-based system would not be able to do so over the votes of the delegates whose votes are set by the primary and caucus system, because superdelegates were banned from first-round voting unless their votes could not effect the outcome. So, insofar as that claim which you did not state was what you intended, it is false.
Does the append-only mode you have in borgbase fix the issues of the append-only mode in Borg itself? https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage/notes.html... Because the way it works in Borg isn't really workable in practice, it only seems to be good to check a box.

Is that a bad thing (in the long run)? More people with work experience = more people who are enjoyable at higher rates later on. Maybe a bit of short-term pain, but everyone's better off in the long run?
Causality is backwards here. Which side is oppressed and which is the victim is a deeply political question; speaking out takes the side of victims because the widespread political support builds the shared understanding that their victimhood exists.

This is a somewhat cynical take, but there are kernels of truth in there. Often, organizations not focused on quality will allow such things to happen. More than one startup has also been out out of business by not having a backup. But it’s often negligence / ignorance and not budget. When you put all the cards on the table for an organization and give them the information they need, they make much better security choices.

i feel like the market would keep the repair cost sane if the component availability and pricing were guaranteed in certain ways.

for example, i think it's be a good rule that component parts must be sold at a price where the sum of the part prices cannot exceed the retail value of the assembled product. something like this could have other benefits outside of just this issue.
But these evil dangerous apps wouldn't have been allowed by Apple in the first place, so they'd never have been on their app store to begin with.

Or, IOW: You can't do that after Apple bans them from their store either. Apps getting banned from there so you can't download them is a thing that actually exists in the here and now.
Because PoW miners have very little authority tied to their computing resources.

Users have prevailed in Bitcoin forkwars over miners and many large exchanges and businesses.

Miners are really more similar to employees of the network, that order transaction in exchange for fees. They are not masters of the protocol, and cannot dictate its rules.

Proof of Work has a nuclear option (change of hashing algo) that would bankrupt the miners and render their farms useless. No such option exists in PoS, just political battles, as we've seen in practice.

In PoS users lost in political battles of EOS (collapsed and rewrote the network rules) and Steem (taken over by bad faith staker). Literally all PoS projects failed in some way until today, due to some centralization pressures it produces.
Why those magic numbers?
They have also done that, but unfortunately their more recent actions will totally obscure that fine example for the foreseeable future.

I think part of the issue is also that the negative impact of getting IT wrong is delayed, and often lands after your middle managers have moved on to other organisations, thus don't see the impact of cutting costs repeatedly.

Since there's no visible problem (nothing catches fire) the day, week or month after cutting spend on IT, it's an unnecessary expense in the eyes of beancounters.
In the UK at least, you can see really clearly where lockdowns start and cases & hospital admissions drop dramatically from their peak to really low. Deaths went from >1000 to <50 per day. And when lockdowns ended they went right back up again.

3 hours commute is probably very common if you're working in Manhattan (NYC) which is probably the biggest concentration of tech jobs in the Northeast. Most Manhattan workers don't actually live in Manhattan or even NYC.

I'm not sure what traffic/commute patterns are like in the SFBA, but some of my friends/coworkers who've left NYC for SFBA seem to love their new commutes. Well, as much as one can like a commute anyways.
Well, when I ended up using cobra the cost was roughly 5x what I was paying while employed. This got worse as one aged, and put a noticeable dent in the household budget. If some of those that walked were <= 26, can't they use their parent's insurance due to ACA? For those with a working spouse, free money. For those working in, say, Canada, catastrophic insurance isn't something that involves the employer.

> Please, define what is a poverty wage, it is important.

The ability to afford adequate housing, food, and clothing. I'm not saying we should mandate people can afford a 1500 sq. ft. home, ribeye steaks every evening, and Ralph Lauren Polo threads, but how about at least a one bedroom, one bathroom apartment; nutritious, nourishing food; Walmart clothing at a minimum.

Removing the "tipping" system. Increase prices such that an employee can afford the above mentioned necessities.

We either decide these people are expendable, or that they are human beings worthy of a baseline of a dignified life. I define a dignified life as the ability to have at least the minimums I described above.
> It’s possible to ban flame wars instead of politics.

I find this statement idealistic in the US, as so many issues, political or not, are turned into good-vs-evil moral confrontation. Universal care is taking freedom from citizens. Taking vaccine is big pharma's conspiracy. Wearing masks is eroding civil rights. The left is not better. J.K Rowling is already a Nazi. Any Trump supporter should be hunted and punished. Questioning Faucci is anti-science. Questioning Biden is supporting Trump. Asking a person not to graffiti on my house means losing my job for opposing the right movement.

I came here to say this. This is the strength of the OSS model! There are a lot of ways that I believe OSS to be flawed (mainly fragmentation) but I'm not a dev and I'm not fixing it so I don't complain. But when I see things like this it makes me realize that there are huge upsides to Open Source licenses that make this possible.

Another case in point: CentOS and its new forks that are emerging.

I'll go with, there is a group of people involved with a corporation, but it's largely decoupled from the corporation itself.

The cheapest base code signing certificate will be via a Sectigo (formerly Comodo, although they allow resellers to advertise either brand) reseller. I'm not affiliated with this site beyond being a customer, but the website 'codesigncert.com' is the absolute cheapest i've found for Windows signing (EV 3 years: $219/yr [0] / regular 3 years: $59/yr [1]).

Note that this landscape might change in the future. Microsoft is working on Azure Code Signing, which will mean Microsoft themselves manages issuing the certificate, doing the identity verification, etc - the only catch being that they probably don't want to have to deal with any lost keys or improperly stored keys, so they don't let you generate your own cert and you can only sign certs via the API or other integrations. All of this info is available via this talk [2] and it's the only public information available on this service that i've found.

The changes do enforce a stratification in the organization, This may have been the intent in part.

Another thought I had was that they wanted to slim the company down. In that case, you look at what you want to keep and what you want to lose. You make it easy for those who you want to leave to make that decision. If there was a faction that loved a hypothetical free breakfast, and these folks caused discontent and discomfort among others, elimination of that breakfast, and a way for them to bow out gracefully, thinking that they took the W, would be 4D chess for the stakeholders.

You may lose some people you'd prefer to keep, that's always a risk. But if you have a way to cluster the people you are reasonably happy about parting with, by noting common behaviors (the hypothetical breakfast model above), lowering their interest level for staying (removing the thing they like), while providing an incentive to leave (a pretty good severance/buy out), this is a win for most people.

I've seen various really bad takes on Twitter, that miss almost all the (fairly obvious) nuance of these moves. The bad takes seem to cluster about the "attack" on peoples "rights" to talk societal and political issues at work. And some sort of joy at seeing a company "suffer".

I don't think these are even in the right ballpark. There's lots of missing information, and we can speculate about it, in a way that resembles blindfolded dart playing.

However, the management response is pointed, and as they seem to be fairly specific, one could (likely far more accurately) speculate what caused them. And why they are being considered.

The bans on political/societal talk likely originated from conversations that made some folks quite uncomfortable, or unhappy. They were likely sustained after being advised to stop. Rather than allow such talk to disrupt the organization, the owners had to make a decision. So they did, and provided a mechanism for the most vocal folks to ease their way out.

Or at least it looks this way to me.
I haven’t seen this allegation. It would help the discussion if you could link to someone citing this reason.

I'm not gonna say forking is always the answer, or that it doesn't sometimes suck for the project as a whole when some people go one direction and some people go another, but I'm inclined to agree with the spirit of your comment that the ability to do so is a feature of OSS, not a bug.

This is a blog post written from one side (and a side I'm generally more sympathetic to) but no doubt when it is a major break between two factions, especially "founders" versus "maintainers" there are obviously two sides to the story, and the great thing is that one side doesn't always have to "win"

I think this is an unfair representation and you are straw-manning the situation at least somewhat.

The company doesn't think that 'name calling' is appropriate, rather, they don't believe that this activity is the beginnings of some kind of 'race war' and object to language such as 'leads to genocide' as hyperbolic.

"unhappy that their employees asserted power over them in the workplace,"

Yes, if your staff are exerting that kind power, that's in most cases an unhealthy thing, unless there is considerably legitimacy in the assertion of that power. The 'argument' is over the legitimacy.

"over what they view as their personal fiefdom"

This is not the appropriate language: it's their company, and their responsibility. It's not a 'personal fiefdom'.

"expected them to live up to their words about openness and owning mistakes."

They did. The company doesn't support the right of individuals to 'make fun of people's names'.

It's unreasonable to believe that excessive fear-mongering such as language regarding 'leads to genocide' should be accepted at face value.

"t least 1/3 of the staff, when confronted with their true relations with their management, then decided to quit."

This is clearly not true, because 1/3 of most Americans literally today, might opt to take 6 months of severance in order to leave their jobs. I probably would.

The companies language may have been lacking in self awareness and possibly tone-deaf, but none of their policies are unreasonable.

I think it was handled poorly, but just because it was, doesn't absolve the antagonists as having perfect legitimacy.

I think from a policy perspective, things are fine, but from a 'populism' perspective, no so much. It does make me question a little bit either side, as though I'd want a lot more information to determine how bad things are either way.

I guess I haven't worked on a project important enough where the history is more important than the current state. Usually it's more like it might be useful to gain perspective by looking at the history, only to find it was a conflicted merge or the comment contained no useful info anyway ("Clean up", or "Fix this feature").

Even if it tried really hard to document the purpose of the change, I've rarely gotten more from a commit message than the content of the code changes in the commit.
I always ask myself, in matters philosophical: What would Wittgenstein say? Is this a useless exercise in cognitive copulation, or not?

What has iMessage got to do with anything? Don’t blame Apple because Google’s ten attempts to build an Android messaging platform were all dismal failures. Nothing stopped Google from mimicking iMessage and making that the default SMS app.

It’s not a question of who wants Apple to remain the sole gatekeeper of executable binaries, but rather who enjoys the benefits that come from that, even if they don’t explicitly realise it. I contend that it’s far more than 50% — especially because the few people who actually “care” about App Store diversity have already jumped ship to Android. (Or if they haven’t, they have proven that they don’t actually care.)
