Bezos has been selling his shares for years.

The market is still betting that Amazon can exploit more people faster every year and earn money (i.e. profit) from them.
This describes glimpses of a "state", not a process.

To feel "safe" asking dumb questions, you have to accept that the answer is often an irritated "RTFM". Accept first that the worst outcome is being ignored or sneered at, then you won't be so fearful.

Beginners who ask questions usually want affirmation and some sort of "experience of being a peer" or something like it.

The safe environment that people think others are responsible for, is mostly internal in my experience.
I hate commuting to the office but do you all live in quiet mansions/houses where there's very little noise around you?

> storing a lot of dense, pressurised CO2

In my understanding, there's only enough CO2 to use as a working medium in the closed loop. No storage as such.

I wonder if it would be possible to get them to germinate. Old seeds have been successfully germinated in the past, but I suspect the underwater-thing might have made it impossible.

It's funny because I actually find your exemples to be supporting my point more than yours.

All of these sentences are translation in plain English of the absolutly perfectly defined and commonly accepted definition of cosine similarity. SkiKit-Learn is even just writing the formula.

uchicago.edu and datadriveninvestor.com even use exactly the same words. I mean, if you came to see me complaining someone was plagirising for writing "For vectors, cosine similarity is the cosine of the angle between those vectors.", I would find that laughable.
Is math useful for computer science? Absolutely. For developing websites or apps in a sweatshop or your “Next big thing” startup? I’ve seen many people who got by without it.
I can only solve a few audio captchas until Google wants me to solve a real one. Audio captchas are to simple for bots.
I don't think that's the case here. Rather that OSS is not ONE license but many and it's a non trivial task to comply with all licenses.

Big companies spend a lot of resources and money to be license compliant. One way to make sure that the company follow OSS licenses is to have a process for how to contribute. The person posted the issue has not been through that processes for this specific project and hence can not contribute.

It feels to me that science should stop arguing Climate Change is real. This is sucking them into the debate with the deniers, who will deny everything anyway. It's like the old adage about not arguing with stupid people: first they take you down to their level, then beat with experience.

Instead, I think scientists should focus on the lucid and work on providing actionable ideas for reducing CO2 production. I appreciate this isn't necessarily everyone's primary vocation or area of expertise. But at this point trying to convince more people, via lengthy reports no less, that Climate Change is real is just counter-productive.

Politicians are ultimately lazy, or at best, easily distracted - this is much of the success behind lobbying. Give them a ready policy, write them a speech and a report that argues it's the right thing, and they'll champion it as their own brainchild. They'll do the boring things politicians need to do - build support, trade horses, ensure even reduction of CO2 by congressional district or whatever. But the change becomes real.

Give them an important, but abstract idea, they'll nod their heads and move on.

I'm always a bit suprised to see a post complaining about Edge because, to me at least, its never about the most obvious problem (although it only occurs on first launch, so that might be a factor).

The first thing Edge does it plead its users the give it a chance, we know IE wasn't the browser of choice in the past but things are different now, and we at Microsoft are genuinely trying to make things better.

The second thing Edge does is put a massive banner in your face, demanding you hand over everything. All your data, right now, and until you accept this ransom (or go through and uncheck all the boxes), your not going anywhere.

Even chrome is more subtle about it. Its just the audacity of asking for trust and then immediately violating that trust, as if they can't possibly wait another moment without taking everything they can from you.
The issue reporter seems to be suffering from full-blown stockholm syndrome about it too.
Im sure it wont be like a biblical plague, but the IPCC report that came out moments ago reiterated the 20 year to 1.5 C+ timeline. What matters is if a crop failure hits a nation with few friends and lots of nukes.
I think so, debugging often feels like problem solving and sometimes I spend a lot of time debugging.
I think it comes down to one of two things; the first is ignorance. If the only tool you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail. If you only know about React and Sass, any layer beneath that is a complete mystery and not something you'd even consider as a solution because you're not aware of it.

The second, and my preferred theory, is that the modern web stack has not adequately followed increasing user requirements, forcing us to take much longer to develop what seems like trivial new features. It's not that i18n, or larger images or maintaining state in the browser is some huge, insurmountable problem that can't be solved. It's just that our tools are so woefully immature that we spend more time wrestling with them than we do actually working on the features we're being paid to work on.

And for what? For some vague illusion of choice that for the vast majority of people doesn't even matter? I don't care if I use Redux or one of the bazillion different variations on the idea. Ditto for Sass, Tailwind or what have you. The web layer needs to solidify already, give us a decent bedrock to build our apps and websites on and just get out of the way.
Why isn't a tax rate that increases proportionate to your wealth workable?
I prefer something like “everybody alive past 2035 is royally fucked if we don’t do something now.” But, hey, that’s just me.
He'd certainly get much less than $100B, but he'd still get a lot. The share price of amazon is mainly driven by the revenue/expenses/growth opportunities of the company, which will not have changed just because bezos is cashing out, so it won't collapse completely.

That's not unique the the ultra rich, though. Many people have most of their wealth locked in a house. If they needed to sell at very short notice they would have to sell at a significant discount.
Collateral based loans
The internet isn't the wild west, laws are very much enforced.
People are keeping wealth in holdings because they are not taxed. If they would liquidate they would have to pay let's say for the sake of the argument half of it as tax. I don't think market is a problem here.

The bigger problem is what are you going to with that money? Obviously not consumption. You are not going to buy more tshirts and burgers.

You are going to invest in pet projects, like google glass or Bezos cockrocket [1]. Or finance some causes, like Gate's attack on malaria - good stuff.

Rent-seeking might not be the only problem. Worker exploitation is also a serious issue on my list. How on earth can someone defend not paying a living salary for a full time job?

Add to that that the legal framework (talking about the USA) is seriously skewed to favor employers and disadvantages workers and any attempts to unionize. This has to stop.
Nothing really disgusting about it, it’s just a pile of fries, meat, cheese and salad. Not much worse than the average Shawarma in healthiness, probably better.

I chose Bolivia because I know next to nothing about it and it seemed neutral; I should have used a notional country, like the Republic of United Swiss Emirates.

You've never had to do that before? Maybe I run into it a lot due to the nature of the conferences I attend. I know just enough of the language for functional conversation, but as soon as a complex idea is put forward, I need to be able to contextualize the familiar scientific portions of it quickly, and the round trip translation usually helps enough that I can parse it correctly.
In my field, you could publish decent results by applying a dull CNN just 2 years ago. The only math you had to know was arithmetic to calculate TP and FP.
Someone who is building a phone app benefits very likely from modeling their data with relational algebra. Good fundamentals in that category will help the longevity and quality of an application more than anything else.
There are also clear safety advantages to recumbents, like harder breaking without flipping over and an unobstructed view without sacrificing aerodynamics, so I do not think they should automatically be considered less safe.

I am also pretty confident that the 'manoeuvrability' disadvantage is completely irrelevant for any individual track event. And do you think that it would be an important factor for time trials?

The law also just quietly changed so that Australians in Australia who normally reside in another country now even need to apply for and be granted an exemption before they're permitted to leave.

I'm here now, and it feels all kinds of strange to be "stuck", when I don't even live here - no house, no job, etc.

This is an interesting topic. I have seen exact same thing happening in my org too. One of the reasons that always comes up is legal. Other reasons I have heard is that contributing to opensource is not core to the business.

I believe to sustain any foundation backed or non profit opensource project, you need a healthy community. A community is formed when the builders are appreciated for their efforts. Appreciation could be healthy donations or other people believing and joining their mission by contributing code.
We're talking about trends not absolutes!

The first INXS video that got regular play on MTV was The One Thing, which was a concept video.

Their other early videos up to and including Don't Change were mostly live performance, though they all used more interesting locations and effects than other videos around that time.

But they really hit their straps with the videos they made in 1983 and 1984 for The Swing, some in Japan with Yasuhiko Yamamoto, and the others with Richard Lowenstein, who had been doing music videos for Australian acts since about 1979.
Yeah, but how is it different from any other human interaction? Let's say you have a partner and you have a kink that makes you happy. But your partner doesn't share this kink with you, they aren't into it. What should you do? Should you force your partner into the kink so that you are happy? Or should you simply find others who share the kink with you and make yourself and others happy? You can't live your life thinking 'everyone but me should change to fit my desires'. With so many remote work options out there if it's deal breaker for you, it's easy to find work with another company or work for yourself. But yeah, you are correct - you lose a lot when you do that too. If your employer is great and your co-workers are awesome you can get remote work that you so desire but your new company and people might totally suck.
There were plenty of threads. This was in regards to the AABill, which was lukewarmly discussed here in the leadup to its enactment into law.
So, you're saying a high labour supply justifies home surveillance of workers as well as their their families?
I find it amazing how someone could argue its OK to remove the judiciary and two Federal ministers is as good. If your going to the lenght of getting federal ministers to sign off, why is it so hard/worse to bring in an independent judge? I'd love for the people behind this to try and cite some cases where the current system has caused terrorists or whatever criminal to escape.

Something else I'd like to see is 2 rules:

- Passing information of a another countries own citizens to that country is banned, or where its seems likely that it will be passed on. Stop this we'll monitor your people and you monitor ours swap as its effectively the same as spying on your own without warrant.

- Any citizen that is spied on gets a copy of the what and why ~15 years later. Long enough so its not going to disturb any investigations, and it hold govt to account so if loads of people start seeing they are spied on we can question what the govt is doing.
>The ecosystem has also lost its mojo, and Apple is the one that killed it.

It's not just Apple, this has been a general trend for several decades. In the nineties I paid for Office (about £400 I think), now I use Google Docs. It was the same for development tools, £1800 for an MSDN subscription, now I use VS Community, git and open source components.

I suspect this is inevitable because the marginal cost of software is so low.
I don’t see that as making much if any sense.

Either the reporter is reporting the issue because of something they’re doing in their own time, in which case there really is no reason for the company to be involved at all (despite widespread american insanity on the subject), or it’s something they’re doing in a company context in which case they “can’t contribute” to something the company is already using which frankly makes no sense either, if the license was an issue the company could not use the software in the first place.

So the only context seems to be the usual (related to §1) “the company owns your entire life 24/7 for the entirety of your employment duration and beyond without compensating you for any of it” nonsense.
There's a pretty big difference between owning $180bn and owning Amazon. At this scale he's more like the monarch of Amazonland than the owner of Bob's Dry-cleaning.

I'm not sure that implies there should be a regime change in Amazonland, though. In some ways it implies the opposite. Annex Amazonland, overthrow King Bezos, and you're faced with the challenge of administering the damn thing yourself.
In theory. In practice, this wealth is controlled and overseen by privately owned commercial banks that look out for the interest of their owners, i.e. primarily the super-wealthy.
News media being too alarmist (more than what the science says) could be one reason for rise of climate denialism.
Can be fixed by more accurate reporting.
Here in France, law enforcement & probably some intelligence agencies used to monitor P2P networks for child pornography & content terrorists like to share with one another.

Now we have the expensive and pretty much useless "HADOPI" paying a private company to do the same for copyright infringement.

Ironically enough, it seems the interior and defence ministries cried out when our lawmakers decided to expand it to copyright infringement on the request of copyright holders. They were afraid some geeks, either out of principle or simply to keep torrenting movies, would democratise already existing means to hide one's self online, and create new ones.

Today, everyone knows to look for a VPN or a seedbox. Some even accept payments in crypto or gift cards.

Ironically, most scientific computing pays less than b2b or b2c. I think finance is where money is(sic).

> In the long term, these companies fails.

In my experience this feedback loop is too slow to force management to make a policy change.

At some point I the future they will be chest deep in maintenance cost. At that point they are just going to redo their whole existing stack because it’s cheaper and easier than fixing the current stack.
Direct experience. I guess there always be deniers in the curve of beliefs (deniers of thermodynamics, for instance), but what worries me is the difference between knowing and knowing. Knowing enough to completely switch priorities.
So you couldn't ask them to attribute this to you as an anonymous reviewer? And instead wanted them to spend their effort using "their own words" because "inexcusable" and what not? Man, are some people stuck up deep in their own ass. Yeah, a copy-paste isn't nice of them, sure, but are you one fragile snowflake.
I enjoy programming from time to time(less than in my early career), but absolutely hate puzzles.
I don't see how this is a problem, to be honest. If the company is using the software, its licensed must already be reviewed. Unless they're submitting code that links to company-made one, contributing does not come with additional license obligations.
I wonder if this is what the dinosaurs were thinking as the fireball in the sky got bigger and bigger. Let's ask them!

iPhone does this already. You can choose from different password managers (I use built inn and and old version of 1P). So works on safari, but also other apps that I assume use some standard password field.
I'm confused. Other than alerting to small sample size, how can this tool measure bias without knowing what the true distribution is?

For example, given a database of violent crime convictions, would it be marked as biased because men make up over 70% of offenders, instead of an "unbiased" 50%?
I'm always wondering how the capital gains work for the rich, or rather how they work around it. In case he sells the Amazon stock, it means he is due 28.6% American capital gains tax ie. 53 billion USD? I don't think so... the wealth of the richest basically have multiplied in the last 2 years...
> an interesting and somewhat different definition

Stupidity is the disposition to the state of stupor - that break in reactions for need of processing in an unexepected situation, as if suddenly beaten.

Golob stresses the root in not having the cognitive instruments to solve the cognitive impasse.

Cipolla stresses the economical consequences of those who does not have the intellectual framework (of utility) to understand that their personal gain, or incapacity to build it, should not be reached through a catastrophe for the rest of us. ..."That guy who shoots me to spend a weekend with my wife in Montecarlo" [does not have a proper idea of weights].
To me, "Catastrophe" also removes the burden of action by framing climate change as a fait accompli. It makes it sound like something that has already happened and now we need to deal with the consequences, rather than something we must act to stop. (I appreciate that in reality it is both.) I like "Climate Crisis" more because everyone understands a crisis as something that must be solved urgently.
Building off free and open-source software is much safer from a long-term maintenance and support position than building off paid/licensed/commercial software.
Define "computer scientist". Computer science is a big field but those parts of computer science that I have learned have been heavily underpinned by mathematics, especially those parts concerned with analysing the correctness and complexity of algorithms.

Having said that, I personally waved goodbye to academic computer science after I finished my degree. I work as a software engineer and I find software engineering to be very different discipline to computer science. While mathematics has proven useful to me on occasion, I'm of the opinion that I'd be able to do much of what I do day to day without much in the way of advanced mathematics. Much, but not all. When one encounters certain types of problems, for example problems around performance, I find it helpful to be at least _acquainted_ with mathematical tools that can help, even if my mathematical chops are not as strong as they used to be.
The value of the Apache and BSD-family of licenses for me is that we have source code that we can improve together and that we may learn from and that we may inspect, at the same time as we are free to use it for any purpose as long as we retain the copyright notice and license text in the distributions of source and binaries.

If someone wants to only take and not give that’s fine too. However, if they don’t want to give, they should not expect help. But they are still free to open issues about it. After all it may be something that someone else wants to do.

But as for the company that the guy works for. I would suggest that if they don’t want to contribute themselves, but they really need the problem solved, hire an external contractor to fix it and have him/her submit the patch. I suggest this because the alternative is for them to maintain a set of patches internally and that will only serve to hold them back because either it will take away time from focusing on their own product, or it will mean that no one ever updates the software they run so they are stuck with an old version that doesn’t get security fixes nor new features. So yeah.
That is not quite fair is it?

Publicise your work as open source and make hay with the work of open source contributors who thought they were contributing to a truly free and open source project only to find out a couple of years later that their contributions are now locked into a project that locked itself up with a changed license... (I know that their contributions may stay with the license it originally was, but if the total product changes license, who is going to continue an unmaintained fork? )

IMO, it is fair criticism when someone starts off with a liberal license and then changes it when it is time to monetise, or someone else figures out how to monetise it better than the creators. Either be okay with it or not, you can't have it both ways.
Honestly this is really common. What’s unusual is that the responder is allowed to say he’s prevented. Normally absolutely everything is NDAd. I don’t think maintainers necessarily appreciate how often when they speak to someone about an issue but the person they’re talking to keeps avoiding doing a specific thing they were asked to do to help resolve it that they can’t, and can’t even say that they can’t.
