As visible upthread, I think starting w/ the block in code is a bad move, and am sad that reaching out to the maintainer of alpine-glibc seems like an afterthought.

That said, there is not a universal mandate for how an open source project “must behave”, other than that the terms of the license (which the authors of the code are able to choose). There isn’t a single cohesive “entire fucking point” of open source. The things proposed in the blog post are permissible under the license, are able to be bypassed by the user, and are not some earthshattering affront to human decency.

We should be able to disagree about the best course of action without falling into incendiary accusations.

The answer is at the very bottom of the article and maybe Netflix is already doing it. It mentioned a producer was told his show was renewed not based on the "how many people viewed for at least two minutes" metric that gets reported to ratings publishers, but based on how many people actually watched the entire season.

It isn't this trivial for all media, but I think "watched the entire thing" is a very obvious metric to optimize for when recommending and promoting films and series.
Is there really though?

What does discord do really well? I’ve had channels mysteriously become inaccessible until whoever posted something deletes it. The “stay on top” feature for watching a stream never seems to work very well. For some stupid reason, chat and streams aren’t integrated, so you have to chat in an associated channel which is different from where you’re watching the stream. All kinds of icons are hidden until you happen to mouse over them, which is objectively bad design. If you receive an @ and the chat continues on significantly before you see it, clicking on that channel doesn’t take you to the mention, but rather some other, seemingly random location in chat history (sometimes I don’t find it and just give up).

Discord doesn’t seem to do anything well except sign users up quickly.

I’d argue that the injustice in this situation is the lack of housing that’s causing people to squat in the first place.

These people want to sound like their just “hard men taking justice into their own hands” but they’re really just a bunch of low-level goons being hired to enforce the existing power structure (property and capital owners at the top and everyone else at the bottom)

Genuine question to all the anti "Big Oil" commenters here: what's your alternative?

Let's imagine an alternate history where oil companies hadn't fought against climate change science. What does that alternate universe look like?

We have known for years that climate change is real, and yet the vast majority of people simply won't actually change their consumption when push comes to shove. This is the largest, most serious, tragedy of the commons that we will likely ever face. This problem is so much more complicated than just blaming a few evil CEOs.
There has been quite a lot of advocacy for a public housing model a la Vienna and better legal framework here in Spain.

For some reason it just get dismissed in the left, as too expensive, and always gets overshadowed by arguments about price control.

I even tried to get into a local party with this, and failed.

All this while they advocate for increasing spending in all kinds of BS and and programs we already know are basically useless.

I wonder if discord could straight up sell/separate a 'fork' of their platform that targets a completely different audience.

The 1-size-fits-all approach to social networks never seems to work. Facebook seems to have figured it out with a clear separation of the kind of lifestyles sold by each of Instagram, Facebook, Whatsapp and soon Oculus.

Product companies in general know this quite well. The way to make the (enthusiast) Supra profitable, was to build it on the same platform as the (normie) BMW Z4. The Z4 gets some of the spice of the Supra, and the Supra owners don't feel cheated out of a place in the industry. Effectively, both cars maintain the same back end, but completely different front ends. Maybe discord could do the same. If reddit was run by competent people, then they'd know to continue supporting old.reddit.com for the same reason.

Some aspects of Discord's platform are incredibly useful and class leading. However, their users are a very particular kind of internet person, and the complete un-intuitiveness of the platform highlights that. You can't preserve the 4chan-esque spastic wonder of a platform while still appealing to normies, businesses and older folks.

A platform as funny/productive as 4chan and as sanitized as Teams is the holy-grail. Alas, like all holy-grails, it seems entirely unattainable.
That gives an interesting sense of scale to the problem. Dealing with C02 emissions is similar to water waste treatment, both in concept and in scale of infrastructure required.

Labor costs certainly impact prices, but restaurant pricing isn't totally formulaic outside of maybe "market price" fish dishes. Kenji Lopez Alt has written about this[2]:

Here's where one of the first intricacies in menu pricing arises: Menu prices have to make sense to the customer. Placing a $15 carrot entree and a $20 chicken dish next to a $40 mushroom dish and a $45 steak doesn't compute; the range is simply too big. Either the latter two dishes are far too expensive, or the first two are far too cheap. Which sceniaro seems true largely depends on the atmosphere of the restaurant and pricing at similar restaurants, but both cases can be disconcerting.

Because of this, most successful restaurant owners fudge the numbers a bit. "You're willing to lose money on some things because they're important to keep on the menu," says Maws.

I am appalled at how many comments in this thread appeal to the "laws of supply and demand" and economic theory as if a theoretical model could apply perfectly to something as complex as housing. The map is not the territory. The invisible hand of the market cannot do its work if it is prevented by the realities of building codes, high capital/safety/aesthetic costs of creating supply, the psychological costs of losing your home and irrational behaviours associated with it, the desirability of having less rich/poor segregation, and the fact that a neighbourhood community cannot form if people keep moving around. Stability in housing is a highly desirable goal even at the cost of efficiency of markets.
Well in Croatia the taxis aren't out of business. They just lowered prices, introduced an app for requesting rides and introduced rating of employees. They also service smaller cities where the volume is too low for Uber to operate so they can keep the higher prices due to low volume.

The chat app treadmill.

Every couple years a new chat app with the same basic features as the last one (and slightly better background noise filtering) will crop up. However, the new chat app won't contain the legacy contact information of people you don't really want to talk to anymore, but feel awkward about deleting. And the old chat app will have started to do annoying things for monetization purposes, having run out of VC money.

And of course, you use the new chat app. You will try, but fail, to convince your friends to use the open source alternative. It requires self-hosting and IP addresses.
"I was hoping things would settle but it doesn't appear to be the case."

I've come to the conclusion that it's not going to 'settle' for a long time. Not until competition arrives from new foundries (several years out, although they _are_ being planned and built) and competition from Intel and their GPU platform appears and eventually becomes competitive. So your wait will be a couple years longer.

Proof Of Stake with Ethereum won't change anything. There are many other POW block chains around and people invested in GPUs farming will migrate, find profit and continue indulging their livelihoods. COVID isn't going away and isn't really causing any of this to begin with; it's just the go-to excuse for every complaint.

The real problem is obvious to me; the manufacturers, particularly those in Western countries, have been on a 20 year long lemming-like off-shoring race to Taiwan and S. Korea foundries and now there is a foundry oligopoly and competition no longer exists. Prices go up. Big surprise. And it won't return to 'normal' anytime soon.

With that in mind I bit the bullet ordered up all the parts for my new machine two weeks ago; $3k with a 3070 TI GPU. About a week after my order the the exact same GPU appeared in stock from the exact same reseller with a $200 price hike. The prices aren't going down. They're going up.

SerenityOS probably has the most serious attempt I've seen at "Let's make our own web browser for the sake of it" (along with the rest of the OS). I think they are still working towards Acid 2 compliance but they also have a spattering of newer features supported as they hack at getting newer sites to work. Not a very whacky take though just a home grown one.

I think it's fair to say that right now, mainstream economists don't appear to have anything they agree does work either.

It's useful to know something doesn't work like a proponent would hope, but I don't think it's all that helpful if everything else the economists propose as an alternative, including the status quo, doesn't work either.

If the economists can't find a solution, perhaps it has to fall back to moral imperatives and which values to prioritise. Specifically, which is more important, letting people who have lived somewhere much of their lives stay there, or forcing them out into unfamiliar places with no connections so that new, wealthier people can take their place.
I was super into the ham world many many moons ago (DE K2KD), and my curiosity is definitely piqued with the arrival of SDRs.

Dumb question(s): Is it possible to do "traditional" HF/VHF ham stuff with these mini SDRs? Is there a good software package that emulates the old-school rigs (but with fancy new features)? Are these radios powerful enough to drive an amp to get to something like 100W (or 1500W) on HF?
Apparently they deleted the founder comment.
I upvoted the snark because I think in this case it's warranted. I see this article as part of a broader messaging shift to pin the blame for global warming on the N companies that pollute the most, which I don't think is productive.

As an example of how absurd it gets, someone in my local nextdoor group posted something along the lines of “why should I reduce how much I drive when X% of emissions come from N companies”. Those companies are polluting so that you can drive!

Big changes need government intervention. The government needs to take away the option to run cars, trucks, etc on gasoline, and restrict flights that don't use renewable energy (such as via Hydrogen). Otherwise the individual can only do a very little, and often can't afford to do that.

> "Say you have a certain amount of time and money with which to make change – call it x, since that is what we mathematicians call things. The trick is to increase that x by multiplication, not addition. The trick is to take that 5 percent of people who really care and make them count for far more than 5 percent. And the trick to that is democracy."

> That is, private individual actions don’t increase at a rate sufficient to affect the problem in a timely fashion; collective action seeking changes in policy and law can.

This is actually a description of the politics of "special interest groups" and it usually leads to horrible things. If an idea is only supported by 5% of the population, we generally do NOT want that 5% of the population driving the legislative agenda. Instead, ideas need to first gain broad support among the general population, at which point enacting legislation may be desirable in order to solve collective action problems such as preventing free riding.
While I do agree that it's overly simplistic to exclusively blame oil companies, and for the most part agree that we are all complicit, it isn't quite as straightforward as that.

Most of our jobs depend on the creation of demand for products and services that didn't exist yesterday. Capitalism isn't strictly about fulfilling our needs, but perpetually creating new needs, in order to perpetually generate more profit. Those needs become real, we're all complicit only in that all of us are incapable at this point of honestly living a fossil fuel free life.

We can't radically change our society at this point, but it's naive and incorrect to assume that our unsustainable way of life was the only option. Most indigenous peoples around the globe had lived in a way that was sustainable. The Pre-columbian population of the America's is estimated to have been as high as 112 million people [0]. The societies were large and complex and yet still were able to avoid destroying their local portion of the biosphere.

Even in our industrial society there have been critics of our way of life every generation and there have been people working to silence that criticism, and it's not just the average person doing this work. One the example that I find particularly surprising is that the Club of Rome's Limits to Growth, published in 1972, was a fairly major part of the American zeitgeist, so much so that Ronal Reagan specifically attacked this idea in his famous quote:

> There are no great limits to growth because there are no limits of human intelligence, imagination, and wonder.

Consequently an era of aggressive neoliberalism means that ideologically people are less willing to accept that infinite growth on a finite planet is a problem than they were 50 years ago.

I think it's important not to fall into the easy trap of thinking that a bunch of evil oil execs are solely responsible for climate change, but at the same time it's overly simplistic, and perhaps equally dangerous, to simply say "this is what everyone wanted". A severe alcoholic might want to quit drinking, but at the same time wants to continue, if there is someone in that person's life encouraging and enabling their drinking we typically find that individual culpable in the former's struggle to recover.

Technically, you're correct, which is the best kind of correct. Yes, fraudulent activity is fraud. But what we really care about is whether it's noticed, acted on, and eventually prosecuted for.

Pragmatically, when you have enough complexity that explaining the fraud is difficult, it's still fraud but they're likely to get away with it.

I find it trivial to imagine someone (who's actually invested in the problem, and not just trying to make you go away) peering at you and asking "OK, so this one has 02031 etched on one of the components on the PCB, and this reviewer says it should be 60523, and you want a full refund because you consider that fraudulent? Does the box say which kind it's supposed to contain? No? Fine, I see that when you copy this enormous disk image, um, it looks like it's working? Sure, I can wait another 40 seconds. OK, yes, I see that the speed has dropped from about 2000 to about to 390. And you're saying they committed fraud because it's not supposed to drop? It is, but only to 660? Are you sure your disk isn't just filling up? Maybe you need to run Windows Update or defragment your hard drive...it just finished, was that delay really that bad? How often are you copying a file this big anyways?"

The point is that navigating the above conversation, much less winning it in a courtroom or having it so often that massive numbers of people boycott a manufacturer, is an enormous hurdle. Until it's more easily surmountable, it's immensely profitable for manufacturers to commit this sort of fraud.
Working as a data engineer, I can see how big of a problem this is. At my company, we waste loads of time cleaning up garbage tables, finding the right data, and duplicating work.

Why?
>>an obvious amount of massive empty properties should, according to theories of supply and demand, lead to low rents

While this might seem true in theory, the reality is obviously different - multiple companies and individual landlords find it economically viable to keep them empty some or most of the time.

There can be many reasons for this. Maintaining a high-value property is not cheap, but maintaining it (and the neighborhood/area) as a high-value property can command disproportionally higher rents, more than enough to offset low daily occupancy rates. E.g., renting it out for 10 days every two months at $10K/night is far more profitable (+25%) vs keeping it fully rented out at $1000/week - and there's less wear-and tear, and those are low rates.

>>can find someone that is able to pay

the point is that if you build and maintain a property of sufficient value (view, amenities, etc.), there are plenty of people willing to pay enough to make it worthwhile, and they have the bank accounts to eliminate risk of non-payment. And it is often less of a hassle than trying to keep a place 100% occupied at low rent.

And, if you are willing to do it as an individual, you can have a far better vacation home by occasionally renting it out than you might otherwise have.

tl;dr: High quality, high rent, low % occupancy by time can be a better business model in the right locations.
With FLOSS, the culture often looks down upon telemetry so there's an incentive not to include those because of user outcry (Audacity, ahem). Forking or patching out the offending pieces of code is also possible (see Audacity again).

Caddy v1 also came with telemetry, but it was trivial to rebuild it with the telemetry switched off. The best you can do with closed software like Windows is to apply a hack and hope it's not undone after an update.
