The problem is politicians have realised that these corporations, particularly the ones with significant social media presence, have enormous influence on political discourse, and thus the fate of politicians themselves. There is no way they are going to leave that to chance, or what to them probably seem like arbitrary platform policies and algorithms.
I guess it depends on the definition of ‘economically free’. Maybe it is easier/less regulated opening a business in Saudi than in France? Or just faster and less paperwork? Maybe it is far easier to hire/fire people in Saudi?

crucifying an entire enterprise & saying they "didn't have any real journalists," as you do, for one single place they pushed the edge too far is not a reductionism I could get behind.

it absolutely was journalism, of a very real variety, dishing all kinds of dirt on all manners of people we would never really know anything about.

it seems so exceedingly sad that people will take this example or that & use it to reject what an insanely rare view this was into the sometimes pretty weird ass lifestyles of the (tech) rich and (tech) famous. and sometimes some other random stories that came by.
JavaFX meets that requirement.

A GUI app that uses JavaFX requires exactly one dependency: the GUI library itself (OK, JavaFX is split into a few different modules). Often you'll add a few open source helpers, e.g. if you want a Material Design theme.

> Freedom is evaporating everywhere. Who will fight?

You will. If an average person can say "I will fight," people will fight, if an average person can't say "I will fight," people wouldn't, and will be subverted by ones who can. That's the only hard truth there.

You people in the West, do not forget. Your freedom did not simply fall upon you from the sky once you reached some development level.

Your freedom was paid in blood, guts, and violence. This is a simple historical fact. What you call the developed West today had the biggest share of revolutions, civil wars, regular wars, and general social strife than the rest of the world combined over the last 200-300 years.

The shackles of slavery are very easy to put on, but extremely pricey to get rid of.

Historically, great injustices almost never quietly resolved on themselves. They were either ended by external influence, or failed catastrophically in a burst of extreme violence, like slave uprisings, serf revolts, revolutions, and such.

Some keep telling that lessons of the French revolution(s) are no longer relevant today, I'd say they are scarily getting more, and more relevant with each passing year.
Thanks for the insightful comment!

Yeah, the way I presented the idea above, it's closer to a cooperative than an insurance company. I think it's more important for the buyers of the "insurance" to get their bugs resolved quickly than it is to receive monetary compensation, so the purpose of the payouts is really just to incentivize OSS developers to resolve bugs quickly by penalizing their future earnings if they fail to do so.

But if real insurance with real payouts is desirable, then that's solvable by raising capital for the fund in an ICO and directing some of the cash flow to investors. If I'm not mistaken this is how you'd start an insurance company today: you'd need to meet some capital requirements before being allowed to sell insurance to the public and you'd do that by raising money from investors.
I fully agree that the MFA route is ridiculous (and exploitive).

I’m disagreeing with the premise that all successful people in the film industry only got their by luck, nepotism, cronyism, etc.

Most of those quotes you selected are very clear that GitHub projects are not required, but will be looked at if you have something to share.

The myth is that most companies only want people with lots of side projects.

That doesn’t mean that there aren’t any companies who will take side projects into consideration, as in your examples. The myth is that side projects are a prerequisite for getting the job, which isn’t even true in the examples you selected.

The Role of AI in Software Testing
So I won't pretend to be anywhere close to having the domain knowledge to really understand this, but this feels like a sort of more logical extreme version of the rational behind VLIW processors like Itanium, e.g. "remove hard logic from the microprocessor and put it at the compiler level"

It was my understanding that this approach failed, partially because it's really hard to compute/guess certain things about code ahead-of-time, and modern CPUs with their branch predictors, prefetchers and speculative execution do more at runtime than a compiler could effectively do. Has this changed enough for this to be generally useful, or are they hoping to market this for niche use-cases?
I didn’t see anything in the email that suggested they were agreeing to partition the market. Apple said they didn’t want to compete with Apple w.r.t. Office. Who would? Office is awesome and it’s not Apple’s wheelhouse. ClarisWorks would need massive resources to compete. They were just being transparent that they weren’t in the business of serious Office-suite-like development. The rest of the points seemed like they were quid-pro-quo decisions that could potentially give customers a lot of value: QuickTime support on MS machines, Microsoft developing IE for Apple (and Office)... in this context, Apple is talking to Microsoft as a software package provider, Apple needs partnerships with these companies so their OS can get traction.
Oh, I wasn’t worked up, but this type of response happens frequently on HN, so it’s annoying.

It sounds like the Facebook execs agree with you, and through this leak are finding out why they’re wrong. You are right that companies exist to maximize profit at the cost of everything good, but they still rely on employees to get anything done, and employees will only take so much before they take matters into their own hands. A company that expects its employees to act like robots that will do anything the company wants in search of greater profits will find out they are wrong when they push the limits too far.

Every contract of employment I've received initially had a part saying I could not do outside work/projects, or that they would belong to the company.

None of them were there when I started work - as I had them all struck out, or changed to "work I do for the company belongs to the company, and I won't work on similar projects for other people while I work here".

It has never been a problem to arrange that. The only time it was, was during a initial phone-screen interview with the company HR person that said:
a) they use Subversion and any discussion of changing to Git was never going to happen (this was in about 2017), and
b) any outside projects were totally forbidden. No wonder I hadn't heard of the company before - despite their office being a few hundred metres from Silicon Roundabout and all the various meetups - no one was allowed to improve their skills...

What she had to do with making those decisions, I have no idea. And so that's the only interview I ever rage quit (though I did once tell someone else their puzzle-based questions were dumb during another interview).

This is not a cultural-fit issue. Over 14 years, both the company culture and the employee's attitudes change quite a lot. Even an absolutely perfect fit at time of hire is likely not to be that way for long. It would be amazing if this didn't happen, especially with the kind of growth Google has had during that period.

I'd go even further and say that the FAANGs plan for this "time bomb" effect. They hire mostly impressionable kids, and the rate at which they hire is based on an expectation of short tenures (even by the historical standards of this young industry). Their famously high compensation levels are not just about attracting talent but also about keeping that tenure from being even shorter. They know that people's misgivings and frustrations will add up over time. They know that the "price of their souls" in Cornet's graph will keep increasing. Everything from their onboarding processes to their review/promotion processes to their engineering standards are designed to reduce and/or make up for this kind of attrition.

Hiring people with a particular kind of politics doesn't make any sense at all for them, whether that kind is enlightened or yours. The only kind of culture they select for is around non-political issues such as technical approaches and work/collaboration styles.

There is a business opportunity though. You can hire someone to build say 5 side projects of their choosing so you can place them on your resume and feature them in your GitHub profile. Could be a good way to fund open source work for small useful things.

New AI Regulations Are Coming. Is Your Organization Ready?
Came here and CTRL+F Damore, glad I wasn't the only one disappointed with that framing.

We are now living in an age where it is simply not possible to discuss some topics without someone twisting the discussion into one of the various deadly sins, and everyone who engages becomes guilty of it by association.

For example, in the USA if you are in favor of less immigration, the assumption is that you are operating from a place of xenophobia and racism, because there is no other possible explanation in the universe from having those views. If you state your views coherently, demonstrated that the concerns are rooted in other factors entirely - then the bogeymen of subconscious and unconscious biases and inability to confront deeply rooted bigotry and revealed as the causes, much like the spirits of evil who possessed you when you said things to criticize orthodoxy in the past.

Likewise if one wants to discuss topics like representation across groups, one is inevitably branded a heretic for a heterodox view, regardless of the reasoning.

It's really terrible that this kind of attitude is so widespread in the west.
I tried to say 'wild like an animal' to make a distinction from the familiar concept of a 'wild animal'.

A wild human animal is not domesticated and does not care about what society thinks is normal acceptable behavior. It treats feeling as equal with reason; both mere qualia to be either utilized or disregarded...

I'm sure naturalists will gladly heap entire dictionaries of verbage on what I'm trying to communicate: all explainable in an instant by an upredictable, fundamentally not-safe look in one's eyes.

Ransomwhere- crowsourced ransom payment tracking
Good point. Unpaid externalities of security: large landowners' needs for land security are higher (than resident parcels), but they certainly don't pay more taxes per acre (indeed, sometimes less).

But at the same time, efficiencies of scale in many land-intensive industries cannot be realized without large areas being combined for a single purpose.

Hard circle to square.

>The myth is that most companies only want people with lots of side projects. [...] The myth is that side projects are a prerequisite for getting the job,

I do understand your point but just to be pedantic about interpreting op's phrasing of "are looking for people who do lots of side projects"...

I've personally never interpreted that to mean "if you don't have a Github profile, you are unhireable" so the "looking for people" didn't mean prerequisite but simply a weighting to help choose between candidates.

The Who's Hiring excerpts of Github projects being desirable-not-mandatory seemed to match the intended meaning of the op's premise even if their exact phrasing doesn't satisfy language lawyers and makes them appear naive.
This reminded me especially of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmeta

> the parent comment is ignorant of how decentralized oracles work

I probably am. But I get pitched a project that involves one about every day. Multiple oracles, staking...they solve a fake problem--counting votes--while leaving the real problem--who the oracle(s) is/are and how they make their decision--untouched.

If you're measuring something objective, like a stock price or weather report, fine. Whatever. But a bespoke, subjective output? Requiring specialists to be done correctly? Like a decision on whether an insurance pay-out is warranted in a specific case?

We could create arbitration with extra steps, which is what ChainLink and friends are doing. But again, you've replaced a centralized actor governed by law and reputation with a centralized set governed by reputation alone. (Staking doesn't solve this problem; it just dilutes and punts it.) And if you're pulling from a predictable pool of specialists, you can bet your ass they'll be lobbied.
Awesome project. Keep up the good work.
Twitter hasnt even attempted. It's the opposite. They amplify the polarizing content through their trending feed. They love it.
