Our sub-thread is in the context of the overall posting, which is about what a bad deal it is to work at startups. The entire point is about the risk not being worth the financial reward. Our sub-thread is discussing one aspect of that.
I got my start on Linux with a 386 that had 4mb of ram, but it did not run X11.
You provided the example of the First Nations in Canada, which would be taken by any reasonable person as an implication that the United States is a better country to be impoverished in.

When combined with your refutation of the earlier poster's comments regarding the similarity of the poor in the United States to those in the developing world and your statement that the poor in the United States aren't worse off than the poor in other developed countries, it paints an argument that the poor in the United States are somehow in a better position than in other developed countries.

The totality of your statements would be interpreted by a reasonable person as implying that the poor in the United States are better off than in other developed countries.

If your point is simply that the poor in all developed countries are in the same position, and that the poor in the United States are in the same position as the poor in Denmark, that's an interesting take. I mean, you could have just dropped "poverty in the US isn’t unique among developed countries" in the first post where you brought up the First Nations.

I'm just out here trying to have a productive debate with strangers on the internet.
We expect software to work, in places that are engineered. A SpaceX Falcon launch control system that encounters anything undecidable, whether in launch preparation or in flight, has utterly failed.

It was Microsoft that got people used to software failing on a routine basis, and "have you rebooted?". Before, anything that ever crashed, you sent back for a refund, or expected a tech to come out and fix it post-haste. Clearly MS could not make money that way, but getting people with no experience to believe failure was normal was quite cheap to arrange.
Yes, it's MIT and everybody else is allowed to use it as they want.

Would it be a good option to relicense the project under the AGPL/SSPL or whatever licenses (how MongoDB/Elastic/Anaconda have done) to get credit?
Something like this works! I've had similar thoughts.

I'm not aware of widely used templates for this kind of license, but definitely needs to become more common.
For most of human history the population growth rate was limited by the food supply. Currently in most developed countries it is limited toby individual decision-making. How long can that realistically last? Surely any genetic factors influencing decisions to have (more) children are being strongly selected for.
I’d recommend that you talk to your current customers as a place to start. I’m just tyre kicking and trying to give you some ideas, but actually I’m already fully setup on AWS.

> The problem is we generally don't have a language for distinguishing between the two.

There is a language for this sort of stuff, it's part of economics, they just don't teach people much of it by default in our public school system. I think some of the terms you're looking for are productivity, rent-seeking, etc.

More and more I think economics should be a bigger component of K-12 education even if it means pushing out some things to college like chemistry or calculus (or really, even CS). Basically all the wealthy first world countries are social democracies, with a large role for government spending/regulation in addition to the private sector. Getting more people to see the economy through an economic lens (as a complex series of cause-effect relationships and not a more simple story like "who are the bad people", which politics often devolves to) might help us as a country better connect the actions we need to take to the outcomes we desire.
faker.js - the MIT licensed free software - generates links to fakercloud.com. The error is in faker.js creating links to a paid-service CDN, not in how Retool is using the MIT licensed software.

> And fwiw the USSR did not even consider itself a socialist state.

What is the S in USSR then?

And not the “Soviet” one, the other one.

> That’s why it decided on using the term communism instead,

No, they used “Communism” as well as, not instead of, “Socialism” for the same reasons as Marx did the same thing: “Communism” described the ideology and the goal state, “Socialism” the immediate mechanism.

(Now, Leninist Communism radically departed from Marxist Communism.on other points, to be sure...)
Understood and good points, but think of the end game. I talked to a guy last week who works for an 'investment' firm. He said they're buying about 10 houses a week in my market, renting them all. It really blew my mind.

Imagine if businesses eventually buy -all- housing. You can tax them 10000%, they'll just pass it on to renters.

I feel like we're slipping back to feudal times.
That's an interesting observation about bounded externalities and wider positive effects.

I hope someone studies the dynamics and effects of power through the lens you described.

It might show up in biological systems as well, as so many of these depend on resource competition and signalling in an ever changing, open evolution environment.
Using the fakercloud CDN is the only thing that retool is doing that seems wrong; if those URLs are coded into the library itself, than that's faker'js' mistake, not retool's. Sounds like it could be easily fixed with some clear communication.

Clear communication that hasn't happened yet.
So economic processes and analysis create the illusion of a wealthy elite who run everything, but there's not really a ruling class...

I disagree, and the fact that "wealth tends to remain with the wealthy" combined with some nepotism doesn't just create the illusion, it creates a system functionally the same.

Your implication of some nefarious plot to convince the ignorant that there is a ruling class sounds a bit delusional to me. A little ironic in the context of you accusing me of seeing things that aren't there...
OK, I measured a dozen machines, and I found a very mixed picture using 'openssl speed'.

- Lots of modern x86 machines with SHA-NI that were typically 50-300% faster than MD5

- Older Intel machines, where SHA1 was generally slightly faster, with one or two exceptions where the reverse was true.

- ARM machines with good SIMD/NEON where the NEON implementation of SHA1 was 30-40% faster than MD5.

- Embedded ARM machines with bad SIMD/NEON where it was pretty much a tie.

- A few ARM machines-- most notably Broadcom chipsets in the Raspberry Pi, where MD5 wins big a large margin.

- Embedded MIPS 24k, where MD5 won by 33%.

Then I found http://bench.cr.yp.to/results-hash.html , which bears out what I'd measured.

In any case, I don't think "speed" is any reason to select MD5, unless maybe if you're on MIPS 24k.
The added support for FIX is interesting. As far as I can tell it's just TCP-level load balancing, is that right? HAProxy doesn't have the ability to, say, distribute each incoming order to a different backend server?
I am not a student at CMU. Are these publicly available online?

Large companies won't violate terms of a license knowingly.

Certainly an individual dev could pull in a library with a non permissive license without the broader business being aware. Or, I do agree, there may be particularly corrupt companies that knowingly violate terms of a license... But that's going to be less common than not.

Having worked for big tech, I can assure you they are very strict with licensing.

In this case it's a fast and loose startup, so I agree that it may have happened regardless. But at a certain scale these kind of things will be caught.

But you're not going to get AWS cloning your project if your license doesn't permit it.
Unfortunately, we don't have a language for this even in the domain of economics.

The difference between zero-sum wealth capture, and 'growing the pie' is a point of discussion, yes, but it's rarely discussed and we don't do any real discrimination on it.

Where is the economists lists of businesses that create the most surplus value?

Imagine if we did valuation by consumer surplus, instead of stock value.

None of that is part of the discussion.

We generally don't even tax differently between those who extract and those who generate surpluses.

Of course, it's a very difficult thing to measure.
I wish you peace and well-being.
And you’re being incredibly charitable to Retool, who haven’t even said their side of the story.
Those URLs don’t create themselves. It looks to be using a hash of some sort, which means it needs to be something generating them, it’s not just them appending a hash to https://fakercloud.com. And even if it were, why use fakercloud, a paid service that you don’t subscribe to, and not your own?
In either case, your original complaint is that the author can’t decide between working for free or paid. It’s clear that isn’t the case considering, as I pointed out, they have a cloud service that’s paid. They clearly have figured out some way to be paid for their work.
I don't know what Dieken had in mind exactly, but one interpretation that's not a contradiction could be: "The employee did a clearly stupid thing, we blame them for that. We don't blame them for the outage which we could've contained at multiple earlier steps."

Again - only playing devil's advocate. We'd need to know much more about processes and what actually happened for a better explanation.

Antibody Testing Is Not Currently Recommended to Assess Immunity After COVID-19 Vaccination: FDA Safety Communication

https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/safety-communications/an...

In particular:

> Be aware that vaccines trigger antibodies to specific viral protein targets. For example, currently authorized COVID-19 mRNA vaccines induce antibodies to the spike protein and not to nucleocapsid proteins that are likely detected only after natural infections. Therefore, COVID-19 vaccinated people who have not had previous natural infection will receive a negative antibody test result if the antibody test does not detect the antibodies induced by the COVID-19 vaccine.
> Don't use a license that's more permissive than you're willing to tolerate.

From tfa:

Most Fortune 500s are using Faker in some capacity. The scope of the Faker project is not small... Who pays for Faker development? No one... Most of these donations are from fellow developers, and not enterprises or corporations.

I don't think there's a single OSS license that'd force corps to pony up. Too restrictive terms and they'll simply go looking elsewhere.

Google does OSS right. Open source to commoditize your competitor's advantages, not to strengthen your own.

What an awful place to live in as a voter, consumer, taxpayer.
Wasmtime is actively maintained, and owned by the Bytecode Alliance. I’m not sure what project you are thinking of but it’s not Wasmtime. (Disclosure: I am a Wasmtime maintainer)
Ya, I agree with all those. Any active both ways is kind of creepy. But if it just came to be known, that's where I think things get grey.

Like, I don't really know how to reconcile the thought of someone who actively, but outside of work, is taking a stance against certain people, and then goes to work and pretends to have no issue with having a coworker of that same group. Seems hypocrite, and also feels impossible for me to believe they truly have no issue, it sounds more like they have no choice, but if they did, they'd immediately take actions against them at work as well.

Similarly, anyone "looking for dirt" about their coworkers actively, that's hostile in its own way. And if people overblow things, for example, maybe someone is into some weird fiction with female sex slaves, ya it's weird, but it can be a fantasy, it doesn't mean that they advocate for women to become men pleaser and have their rights relinquished, in fact, politically they might be a big feminist, and yet that could be a weird kink fantasy they're simultaneously into. A person who'd blow it out of proportion and try to get them fired for it is probably holding a grudge against people of their kind in a way as well, trying to get dirt and paint them for a scumbag where in actuality their actions could be generous, kind and supporting of all women.

To me, both these extremes create a toxic work environment, and I don't want either as a coworker or manager. Thankfully, I think most people are neither of these, but we only hear of the bad apples, and we tend to immediately rally for the side where we feel the more likely to be characterized as. I was trying not to do that and see all sides.
I just googled each of the apps you mentioned. They all seem to be things to make money off of cryptocurrency. That's the only thing the decentralized apps seem to be able to do, lending, staking, swapping, new tokens, etc. However, if you think cryptocurrency is useless, and I pretty much do, then creating new forms of it also seems pretty useless.

It all seems very zero sum. No value is getting created. It's just musical chairs with money, people putting money in and hoping to pull more money out. Problem being, since no value is created, it won't be possible for everyone to take out more money than they've put in. For every dollar gained there is one lost.

As far as doing something like for a job - I wouldn't do it. There's a saying like "Better to be a live jackal than a dead lion, but a live lion is better still and usually easier." In other words, I think if you have the mental equipment to make money in crypto you could probably also make money in an industry that isn't a ponzi scheme depriving the gullible of their savings and the benefit of choosing to do that is that you wouldn't put your own money at risk by interacting with shady exchanges and characters.
Yeah so, Marak here should have sent an email more along the lines of:

"Hi X, I'm so and so of Faker (link to some info) and you guys are violating our TOS by reselling our API and hosting the generated content on our CDN. I assume this is a misunderstanding and I notice you've sponsored us in the past, so I was thinking there is a mutually beneficial way for us to resolve the issue. <insert the pitch he already sent> If this sounds like a good way forward let's set up a meeting."

Instead of like a random sales pitch, without the concerning context that he kind of got lucky he even got a first response e-mail to, that doesn't even mention the issue. And then if he wasn't satisfied with the response then he could have sent a follow up demand, asking Retool to resolve the situation and fly within the TOS.

Instead Marak was completely indirect and then when the completely predictable situation of Retool's CEO not reading any more into the situation happened went on full blast in public of Retool.

This is an example of how not to solve issues with other human beings and organizations.

That you’re pulling up a 20 year old example might suggest that it’s the exception that proves the rule. It doesn’t sound like either of us really knows enough to be making sweeping claims, and my objections are to that sort of thinking as much as anything.

I’d also suggest that there are many examples of UN agencies being less than objective, and swayed by political expediency and unstated loyalty. It’s dangerous to assume that corruption of purpose doesn’t extend beyond the nation state.
> That is a debatable point. The TCB amounts to a single hash, that the global Ethereum userbase has had at least three months to converge on, with extremely obvious ways of establishing its correctness. If that can't be securely established, it's unlikely a consensus on the correct software distribution channels can be established either, meaning new users would still be completely fucked.

Sure, let's use Ethereum 2.0 as an example (but note that both myself and the linked paper talk about PoS in general.). Suppose I'm a newcomer to Ethereum 2.0 well after it launches. Suppose that, sometime after the launch but before my arrival on the scene, there's another DAO-like event where there's been a contentious chain split, and lots of bad blood on both sides of the split between developers, users, and exchanges. If I'm only interested in using the chain with the most economic activity, then why should I trust you and your servers to tell me who the initial validators are, especially now that you have a financial reason to tell me your preferred fork? It's like a bank asking me to choose between multiple sets of TLS certificates for all the banks I could conceivably use without giving me a chance to vet them -- why would I ever do this? And how would I even do this reliably?

In PoS, all I have to go on is your word against the others (this is the proof the paper makes) -- there is no way around this. In PoW, I can compare the hashpower between forks and use that to determine on my own which fork has the more valuable coin (and thus the larger economy for it). This, by itself, is a strictly more resilient system design.

What Paul Sztorc is saying is that in the event of contention between competing validator sets, both validators will spend resources equivalent to PoW trying to convince all these newcomers that their validators represent the most economic activity. This includes, but is not limited to, spending energy keeping your validator nodes from getting stolen or hijacked in a bid to change the validator set without consent. So, not only are the energy savings that TFA touts expected to disappear in the long run, but also the energy spend won't even help make the protocol more resilient.
When I read the title, I think of Ryuchi Sakamoto. I'm no musician, or musical historian, but that man is a genius in a similar way to Mozart, or Scott Joplin.
David you're probably just getting nonstop flak for this and as the CEO of the "big bad" here just let me say that I feel genuinely bad for you. Whatever conversation you have to have behind the scenes is a truly stupid thing to have to do in this situation. The CDN thing is dumb and maybe arguably not how this should have been done but your team and their work doesn't deserve to be villified for doing basically nothing wrong other than a very simple email miscommunication.

Good luck with this all.

Work on small teams doing hard things. Best if the team is mostly experienced people, too.

Big companies may work on harder problems, but usually with bigger teams and you end up doing a lot more communication.
No? There’s still workplaces that will have a random racist antagonizing an employee of color or some perceived woman-with-dyed hair will get shit for being assumed a liberal. Stuff like this was common and still hapens.

I'd say both, and it is failing at both counts :). The federal government is actually thinking of imposing it across Canada, even though most other places other than Vancouver and Toronto could actually use some foreign investment.
Sure, I saw that example. Maybe let me put it a different way: if a client has one inbound FIX connection to HAProxy, can HAProxy connect to N backend servers and send each FIX message from the single client connection to a different backend?

Then...don't get an EV truck? You're not the target audience. Might be a 360 round trip capability. Someone else will need to take their cows 400 miles round trip...then 420? At what point is good enough is good enough.

Your criticism will likely prevent someone else where it fits their use case from buying it just because of a "what if" scenario and prevents the overall cause of eliminating emissions.
Good way to put what’s wrong with Python async and probably by extension C++ too. The sync-async in both direction need to be symmetrical for it to make sense. Right now in Python async can interact with Python sync quite comfortably but the opposite direction is a literal black hole. I have had to read up on how sync can interact with async multiple times but I’m still not sure what is the idiomatic way and it always feels like it’s on knife edge even when I get something working.

Obviously, the caveat is that I’m just stupid and don’t understand Python async well enough. But I have a feeling that this is common experience
There are 4 types of influenza, but only types A and B cause seasonal epidemics every year; and are what is targeted by the flu vaccine.

Type C can infect humans but is typically mild and has not yet caused a serious epidemic.

Type D is not known to infect humans at all.
What would the misuse-resistant way be? Would you want the multiplication operator (*) to return 2 values: the number and a bool telling you whether it overflowed?

Yeah, a standard library function that does this would be good. But many people would just use * instead of this function, and so the problem would partially remain.
I've been to a few antiques stores where they have a blacklight case to show off the fluorescent uranium glass teacups and candlesticks. If you don't have a blacklight with you, it's tough to tell the difference between truly radioactive glass colored with uranium salts, and green-tinted depression glass produced at the same time last century that is neither radioactive nor fluorescent. Depression glass has an interesting story all its own https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depression_glass)

It actually surprised me that you can buy uranium glass online on ebay or etsy. It's not controlled or anything, and there are some very weird old curios manufactured last century. (https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m...). I bought a tiny little salt cellar this way once the desire to own something radioactive overcame me.

NileRed even made a video of manufacturing his own uranium glass https://youtu.be/RGw6fXprV9U?t=1048
