Because the opportunities to profit from open source are limited, and mostly already taken. Any new company is likely to be either a fraudster, or a zealot and an amateur. Neither of those categories is likely to produce something good. (And the open source field specifically is full of zealots and amateurs that don't exist in other fields. And also fraudsters preying on the zealots and amateurs.)

Furthermore, a lot of business models require convincing other people to support you, either through investment, or through getting a larger share of your company's budget. This filters out many incompetent businesses, but since open source is free, the filter is poorer It's like asking why the average book in a bookstore is better than the average book on Amazon Kindle--if you don't need to convince a publisher to spend their limited resources on your book, there's one less filter for bad books.

It's not the same thing. Most people doesn't even know that a toaster run software. It's not a computer, at least as a primary function, it's an appliance, built for doing one thing. Same thing for all embedded devices. In that devices the software replaces things that once where done mechanically or in electronic with discrete logic.

> If someone is going to you asking for an app that you compiled yourself, let alone one that you programmed yourself, they're such a statistical anomaly it isn't funny.

Yes, that could be the case, but it's more common with apps like emulators of old console, that on iOS are not approved, or to listen to music from YouTube in background and without ads, or a file manager to copy stuff from/to a removable device, and so on.

There is also the case of people that asks me for apps for their business and I have to say, sorry for iOS I cannot do so because Apple forbids that. You would better buy a cheap 200$ phone/tablet only for that application, because getting it approved by Apple and putting it on the store will cost you more.
Several years ago I had this same issue occur in Facebook Messenger. I was using a pretty slow outdated device even for the time. I went to take a picture to send with the in-app camera. I actually pressed send before the picture rendered on my screen and somehow what was sent was not the picture I took, but a picture of some man's forehead who neither of us had ever seen before. It seemed like a pretty huge bug that could be a serious problem if anyone could reliably recreate it, which I could not. I went about trying to report it but ran into so many problems and broken links searching for Facebook's bug reporting that I gave up. Here's hoping it's been fixed, though I haven't used Messenger for at least a few years now anyway.
This really isn’t funny or comparable. Unemploymed college graduates do not lack the capacity to do these things, they have a choice to do them or not do them.

The A1200 and A4000 were essentially too little too late. Dave Haynie reported that there was an A4000 prototype ready in an A3000 chassis almost a year ahead of the A4000. Then there were the production ramp up issues with the A4000 where systems weren't available because chip manufacturing didn't happen due to money problems at Commodore.

There were so many missed oppourtunities. Technically, it would have been possible to ship and AGA machine in 1989 as DRAMs with faster access times were available then (even at an affordable price before the duties were applied), and it might have made a difference, but the march of the PC clones was already growing quite strong. Ah well, at least I had a lot of fun learning on those machines!
Because the claim was made that spanning several orders of magnitude is sufficient to allow application of Benford's law:

> The big one you need to look for is that the variable spans multiple orders of magnitude.

> Berkshire Hathaway going back to 1980 spans three orders of magnitude, so we're good there.

> BTC going back 7 years is also decent. It's not quite as good - only spanning two orders of magnitude - but it's enough that we would expect Benford's Law to apply better than it does in this graph.

This claim is false. I provided a counterexample to demonstrate as much. Whether or not it's "pathological" is both subjective and irrelevant.

"putting sugar and high fructose corn syrup in everything"

I think about this a lot lately. Pretty much you are eating sugar/high fructose corn syrup if you buy anything from grocery stores other than just pure and raw vegetables/meat. So it seems like unless you can cook really well and have a lot of time to cook continuously 2-3 meals a day, you are out of luck. I have 2 kids and if we don't cook, our choices are pretty clear. Almost everything has sugar/fructose thing in it. Incredible. Not to mention that the ease of fast food everywhere (I can get to a MickyD, BurgerKing etc in mins).

As I said, whether they succeed or not is an open question.

Their claim is not referring to the raw battery materials. Their claim appears to be that they will be able to offer grid scale batteries for 1/10th of the cost of lithium ion, all in. Obviously, the drawback is that these batteries take over 100 hours to discharge and recharge, so they’re slow.

They are doing a pilot project for Great River Energy in 2023. That’s when we will know how real this product is.

Industry experts that I respect believe that Form Energy is very real, unlike all the vaporware that exists out there.

You can remain skeptical and dismissive if you want. It’s irrelevant to whether Form Energy succeeds or fails.

I haven’t seen anyone here saying that Form Energy has a 100% chance of success, and skepticism is warranted for any startup. Even if a battery startup has perfect battery technology, they can still fail for many reasons.
Several years ago, when I worked at FB, I ran into a similar bug on an early internal version of a Messenger rewrite. Sent pictures to one chat, showed up in another.

My bug report on it kicked off an absolute maelstrom of dev activity and investigation. High level engineers showed up in the comments. Lots of immediate followup. The severity was clearly understood and resolving it was clearly prioritized.

I exclusively use Signal now, but the discrepancy between what I see here and what I saw there is pretty disheartening. This kind of bug is not only a massive privacy risk, but it also massively erodes user confidence and trust.

Dude, you're a narcissist. You're free to change your values over time but no one else is? Maybe the next person squatting in your town square is a former you.

There are already a lot of things that are feasible without any license. In Europe/CEPT, you might have a look at all bands under the provisions of ERC Recommendation 70-03 (https://docdb.cept.org/download/2464).

However, those provisions are made in order to ensure a good/fair access to anyone, and therefore to prevent a single user or single technology from overusing those bands which are meant to be shared. For that purpose, there are associated restrictions (in terms of power/EIRP, duty-cycle) and/or mandatory sharing approaches (Listen-before-talk, detect-and-avoid, etc.). In the case of Wi-Fi, CSMA/CA is a form of listen-before-talk.

Unfortunately, mobile technologies defined at 3GPP (GSM, HSPA, LTE, NR) are not designed to be used in such a way (i.e. they don't have any sharing mechanism such as LBT and they require _by design_ dedicated/licensed bands), which by the way implies some kind of specific coordination at the country borders where two operators are using the same channels... (you might look at ECC recommendation 15-01 for an example of PCI sharing).

LAA is a way to have an LTE carrier within the (shared) 5 GHz band, but it has to rely on an anchor carrier for signaling, which requires licensed spectrum. Multefire is a fully-unlicensed solution, but I doubt many UEs (smartphones) support it, and anyway because it must implement the same power limitations and LBT as wi-fi in order to comply with regulations I doubt it would be much better than wi-fi... (maybe it would in some specific case where deterministic QoS is important)

One more thing : keep in mind that a typical 3G/4G/5G macrocell site (e.g. around 65 dBm EIRP per carrier) is something very expensive : your mileage may vary but it can easily be around 100000 € / site when some construction is required.

Because open source is about contributing to a commons, and profit is about having some value that your business can provide that nobody else can. Those are at odds with one another. Either you're contributing that value back to the commons and killing your own profits, or you're hoarding the value and have drifted from your mission.

The least unreasonable for-profit open-source companies (e.g., Red Hat) use the labor of skilled developers as the unique value, i.e., anyone can run Red Hat just fine but if you want the world's most qualified people to work on your specific problems you have to pay them. But even this produces a vague incentive not to write public documentation and not to write understandable and easy-to-maintain products.

The other way to do things (e.g., Google, Facebook) is to have some business entirely unrelated to the value of your open source and open-source infrastructure things (e.g., Go and React) that make your business better if they're open-source but don't meaningfully make it easier to compete with you.

Then there are the companies that realized they didn't actually want to contribute their core product to a commons (e.g., Elastic) or companies that couldn't meaningfully monetize their open-source core product (e.g., Sun, Netscape).

Huh?

The NYSE looks that way because of a stock market rule that if the price falls below US$1 for 30 days, it becomes a "penny stock" and will be de-listed. There's also a tradition that when a stock gets well over $100, it splits. (Berkshire Hathaway refuses to go along with this, but everybody else does.) So issuers tend to split and reverse split to stay in the traditional trading range.

Commodity prices and foreign exchange rates don't behave like that.
They don't split or reverse split. Also, their price is different depending on which currency you view it in.

Your point simply doesn't make sense.
>Yeah but that's not the point that I'm making, is it? What I'm saying is that people project their own meanings into language all the time

That was MY point.

>therefore you can't just fault the Agile manifesto for its supposed "ambiguity".

You absolutely can. They didn't have to write it in an obtuse, ambiguous and metaphorical way that practically required people to project their own meaning. They deliberately chose to.

Scrum is a clear example of a methodology that is relatively (not completely) unambiguous. It's describing (in theory) a much more concrete form of "aspirational agile" and as such is at a lower risk of becoming all religious.

>On the point re: how laws and contracts are different -- sure, these things have gotten more precise over time, but if the language of law was inherently precise then we wouldn't have a need for judges and courts and congresses. Heck, even mathematics isn't safe from the problem of the imprecision of language. Wasn't there a time just in the last year or two when people were debating about the correctness of the statement, "one plus one always equals two"?

It's a sliding scale. Flirting and poetry is way over on the far left with the agile manifesto. Scrum is further to the right. Legalese is further still to the right. Math further still. It's fairly self-evident that the level of specificity required in the language used varies depending on the task. Being too specific when you flirt is common sitcom grist and nobody's ever made poetry out of a shopping list.

>Which, really, brings us to the ultimate question, which also happens to be my response to your last sentence: So then is it a problem with the manifesto or with the people?

It's the manifesto.

I think the three machines approach works best for companies 0-100 people (depending on the company, for SaaS it makes sense).

Basically have someone own:

1. The product - CTO

2. The customer - (Could be a director or VP of marketing/sales/rev)

3. The company - CEO

Anything beyond those three execs at or around an A round is nuts to me.

I think a lot of people underestimate just how much you can outsource at that size. There almost no reason to have a COO when you’re less than 100 people. Same with a CFO. Either of those hires don’t become strategic until you’re doing $10+m in rev. Until then, use other SaaS services for payroll, book keeping, tax savings (MainStreet), etc. These take little effort use and can be setup by one of the founders in less than a day.
