I am always impressed with the design of Teenage Engineering’s products but they have an air “pure consumerism”. I think this is that taken to its extreme. A toy that has a crank, retro screen, design-driven accessories, and the games are there but not promoted.

Compare that to the gameboy which put its games front and center with the selling point of being handheld. Admittedly, I would get the Playdate to put on my desk and admire as plastic art, but no more room.

While certainly true that past traumas shape us, not all are relevant to every statement. Also, growing up in Jordan isn’t necessarily a trauma.

This is something that’s true, but not really relevant.

Note that we did not reference all of our past traumas these two comments. Not because our traumas didn’t shape us, but because it’s not practical to describe our traumas in every thing we say, all the time.
I fail to see how Amjad was in the wrong in the first place. He is well within his rights to assert copyright, which OP probably violated at least on an SSO level. The only things left to quibble over are how much the infringement was and how it may have affected, or have the potential to affect, Repl.it's business -- matters to be settled in court if both sides do not agree to terms.

Never, ever, EVER release an open-source version of your current or former employer's product. If you do, the employer can establish you had access to their code and they can argue that your work is substantially similar to theirs, meaning THEY CAN AND WILL SUE YOU for copyright infringement.

What iTunes U. can be is a listicle space for like minded people to fuse what they know and bring along the audience with them. Nasa does an awesome job at public outreach when a major mission program is going through a critical path, such as, Perseverence and New Horizons. Experts explain what is going on in reaction to questions fielded by the public. The ace Apple has up its sleeve is a level of trust freemium platforms don't have. Would people pay $7 per week for 7 perfect listicle items for knowing what is going on at the cutting edge in areas of their interest? That's the price of two takeout coffees.
Malicious actors don't have to "destroy or modify paperwork". Paperwork is very rarely "destroyed or modified".

I don't get why everyone here is comparing this to gameboy emulators.

There's a million ways to emulate gameboy at this point. There are emulators that run on pretty much every single platform. You can get a $40 handheld on Amazon that can do it.

To me the selling point of this system is that you can play _new_ games that are in a cool retro 1-bit art style.

To save everyone a google, the etymology of scot free is not based in Scottish juries.

The phrase in its oldest form literally refers to getting away without paying tax. Scot is cognate with the Danish (Scandinavian) word skat which means both tax and treasure - the latter meaning incidently being why it can be used as a term of endearment.

This later was broadened to mean getting away without any punishment. I could find no reference online to its use for show trials.

Could you expand on that? What type of files, how many clients?

Now I seem to stream 4k hdr over ZeroTierOne over the Internet to my Nvidia Shield via just DLNA/UpNP (still to vlc) just fine. But I'm considering moving to caddy and/or http/webdav - as a reasonable web server with support for range request seem to handle skipping in the stream much better.
I think the disappointment in the CEO's response to the blog post is understandable, but I think much of it is a reflection of different contexts.

I'm sure from the information at their disposal, the CEO thinks their IP was stolen, and feels obligated to defend it vigorously. Yes, he did not provide specific claims, but often it considered unwise to be specific in these situations (both when threatening legal action and when backing down). What's described as "misquoting" could be deliberate, but given how all of this seems to be in the context of two parties not communicating effectively, it is far more likely a case where what was heard from the CEO's context was very different from what Radon intended to communicate.

Like I said, I don't begrudge Radon's feelings and perceptions of the situation, and he may well be perceiving things accurately, but with disagreements like this, the norm is that all parties have a distorted perception. I'm just glad it has been resolved without going to court.
Interesting reaction. This could also be interpreted as making it _more_ reputable, by removing abuse and cruft, allowing engineering time to be focused on things that provide value to end users.

> Isn't that how young people end up with liberal arts degrees saddled with debt they have little chance of ever repaying?

Sometimes, but sometimes it’s the direct opposite. People let their lives get consumed with the game of “go to school, get good grades, receive certification of having gone to school and gotten good grades” until they find out there’s nothing left for them at the end of the road.

It’s a shame because there are people who are obsessive nerds about academic subjects. And maybe there are more of them than there is a need for professional, full-time academics, which is sad. But I think there are a lot of people for whom formal education is a cargo cult, and these people crowd out the obsessive nerds.

How is this different from an intense gym workout or playing racquetball or yoga? Comparing these to running and not psychedelics.

On the one hand, it's amazing, it's ~$220 for games.

On the other hand, is this games?

It's so tough out there. Lucas Pope obviously works really hard. Just imagine you're an otherwise successful indie game developer, you put out two amazing games, and it still isn't viable to make a third, in 2021.

That doesn't happen with movies. You make two budget positive or critically acclaimed movies, you get to make a third. You don't have to go and make something else.

Though I agree about being 'crash proof' we're talking security here, so DoS or RCE might happen because of a buggy parser, crash or no crash. If I can create a parser that won't produce any error whatsoever, and always return something (be it 'malformed message'), haven't I increased the security of my external interfaces, compared to, let's say, a shit parser full of UB and no check because the program is crashes happen anyway?

> how does this approach scale in a repo with 50+ contributors?

You surely aren't going to have 50 contributors all simultaneously working on the same mainline or feature (or have 50 working together at the same time if ever, if you do, I'd say that's poor project management). The reality is a portion of the developers work on this feature in this part of the code base, a few over here, they'll be on their own branches or lines, and everything will be fine.

This scenario where we have 50+ devs all crashing and bumping into each other rarely happens, if ever. I have personally only seen one instance of it happen in kernel development. And even then it was relatively straightforward to sort out.

To go further, in a hypothetical scenario where there is one feature and 50+ open source developers are all vying to push their patches in, there is still going to be one reference point to work off of, and reviewers are going to base everything off that. It's a sequential process, not concurrent.
My 10Mbps hub (yes, not a switch) has been with me for decades. I've owned lots of smarter (switched, managed) and faster (100Mbps and then 1Gbps) devices that used less power (turns out when 10Mbps was invented nobody cared about "power saving"...) but over the years lots of those have dropped dead whereas the 10Mbps hub still works, which is why I still own it even though it isn't currently wired up, I know that sooner or later a 1Gbps switch will die and I'll hook that 10Mbps hub in there until a new one arrives.

Now, is it "better"? Overall, no. Or else I wouldn't keep buying Gigabit switches. But is it more robust? Yes. And if that's what you care about...
A lot of people who don't visualize when reading (who may or may not have some degree of mind's eye - it may just be a weaker muscle than those who are extremely visual people) just basically skip over visual description in writing. So when I am reading I would say at least half of the visual descriptions given to me are just filtered out by my brain as 'useless / ignore' and I just skip over / skim to the next part of the sentence / paragraph that returns to things I care about. It's more of a 'I don't care' about what a character's appearance is or what the setting is of a place in the story than a 'I'm taking in these visual descriptions and nothing is happening'.

So like, hearing that the character got out of a car and is at the beach now is enough for me, reading about the white sands, wooden chairs, and crystal clear water is just stuff I ignore, my brain just says 'ok - store fact that character is now at beach. engage mental / factual associations about what beaches are like / what your emotions are around beaches'. But there's not a step where I think 'let's picture that beach'. I'd rather just think about it.
Getting the Goalpost to Stop Moving
In the video attached to the article they mention the rich loan money and live off that. They don't explain how they are paying that loan.

https://youtu.be/8pBPZMUcsh0

I felt the article was not very inspiring since it emphasised the tax the rich pay in relation to their wealth not their income. Which is irrelevant. Of course they are not going to spend all their wealth and pay tax on it.
At some point, the medium does become important. Every computer no matter how small can do everything now, and limiting games to a specific platform is for the most part arbitrary at this point.

So if you add limitations, or extra buttons! you end up with the rare occurrence of something new! A crank is actually a really cool addition just in terms of experimenting with gameplay.

> If corps are people, maybe they should receive jail sentences as such - and then their executives & beneficial owners can carry them out based on liability. A CEO that takes full control and makes a one-man-shop would therefore be fully liable for any sentence received, and can only avoid this be sharing control.

Not shareholders but the officers and directors of the company. We already have this for financials under Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. There was lots of whining that they could not possibly sign off on it because the financials are too complex and with personal criminal and civil liability for CEO/CFO there would be no CEOs/CFOs that would take it. Act got passed and, as if by magic, CEOs and CFOs decided that taking personally the criminal and civil liability was OK.

Your reply could have been written to be a lot less insulting and assume I'm aware of policy implications of this proposal but did not choose delve into 150 years of research in a two line reply on HN.

I wasn't proposing that this become policy for all assets. Would it allow you to accurately assess the price of rare high valued art for the purposes of a wealth tax -- yes. It would also allow you to value other assets as well, but there are drawbacks.

I don't think your example of speculation is particularly good example of a drawback though. If you need to set the price at X so that someone doesn't buy it from you now, then that means its value is indeed just below X (assuming you've set X correctly).

If you're the only person in the world you thinks that the value of your asset will be 10X in 10 years, then you can safely set the value at X now and nobody will buy it from you. If you aren't the only person in the world who thinks this and someone is willing to buy it from you now for 2X, then I guess the value of the asset right now is 2X.

Trying to predict what a court would find fair use is incredibly difficult in the US, and it's hard to have much better accuracy than a coin flip if the answer is less than completely obvious. In practice, it seems that fair use is pretty much decided on a gut reaction first and then the analysis is motivated to arrive at that gut reaction.

A good example of that effect is Thomas's fair use analysis in Google v Oracle a few months ago, which can be summed up as "Google made buttloads of money from Android, Oracle saw not a dime, how can that be fair?" This kind of analysis I think tends to be the more the common one in courts. However, only one other justice agreed with that analysis; Breyer had 5 other justices sign onto his fair use analysis instead, which argues (in part) that transformativeness is more important than commerciality as a factor.

It remains to be seen how lower courts will apply Google v Oracle to fair use cases; if they will see it as something limited to software and ignore it for everything else. Indeed, I'm not certain that you'd see the same strong majority for a similar fair use ruling if it involved more traditional copyrighted content such as movies.

That said, I'm not sure that this is even distributing Netflix content in a way that violates copyright in the first place, which nullifies any need for fair use analysis period.

> The value of the land at Burning Man is much lower than the Bay Area, even though it has many of the same people.

You're proving GP's point. People from the Bay Area go to a desolate desert in the dead of summer because of the social aspects of Burning Man - the land is worthless because its a desert, owned by the Federal government, and they only stay a week out of the year. They bring the infrastructure with them, from stadium audio equipment to porta-poties to wireless equipment.
Even adjusting for inflation from 1996 half the population had 1.0 - 1.6 million.

That translates to ~$1.7M - 2.7M, or an income of ~68k to 108k which is still not that significant.
Not the guy you asked, but he just listed a half-dozen or so things he probably expected them to expand into that were promising/could have worked out, so I'm guessing he invested hoping they'd do those things, and was pissed when they didn't.

I think their main mistake was antagonizing the big theater chains. They should've had their hand outstretched to the chains, consistently, from the very beginning.

The (probably smaller) chains that play ball and negotiate selling cheaper tickets to moviepass get rewarded with more foot traffic, the chains that don't play ball get punished in small ways.

By gently and gradually steering traffic away from AMC, they would've put themselves in a much better position for negotiation.

Unfortunately, privacy.com is only available in the US. I had been looking for an alternative for quite some time, but recently I stumbled onto the fact that Wise (formerly TrasferWise) will give you a seemingly unlimited amount of virtual cards if you open an account with them.

As far as I can tell this isn't documented on their website, but I can definitely get new cards on demand and disable them as necessary. In fact, their website still mostly references MasterCard, however I have received a physical Visa card and the virtual cards are all Visa as well.

This isn't as sophisticated an offering as privacy.com because you can't set a fixed limit per card, but it's a lot better than nothing.
The problem with selling your home isn't the income tax on the gains. That would be new money you have. The problem is that the closing costs are very high and that you have to pay yearly property taxes on it whether or not you are selling it.

In NYS, you would lose 2% for selling a home in transfer tax (of the value not the gain); and then if you are financing another home 1.25% of the mortgage value. So right there you've lit 3% of the two transactions on fire. That doesn't even count the non-government fees like commissions, attorneys (for you and the bank), title insurance, etc. that eat quickly eat up many thousands of dollars.
IMO it’s relative to when Amazon uses then forks Elasticsearch. It’s something that happens. The transfer of ideas cannot be stopped because you arrived there first.

The reaction to the situation from the CEO and the reaction to the reaction by the development community are both soaked in cultural faux pas generated out of a few decades of startup-pop-goes-the-weasel.

For the bragging rights.

It was already about to be delisted and I think it was sub $1/share. So I looked up how much I'd need to own to match the largest individual investor, and decided.

I could have invested the paltry amount (I actually cannot remember how much, but it was < $10k in my IRA) in something worth while, or... burn it all to own more more than any other individual investor at the time that I did it.

I only held for a couple of days, before selling it at a ~70% loss - or vanguard liquidating when it delisted - I cannot remember now.

But it was a fun ride and brag I got to have. People at the office cheered for me. People in my house berated me.
