The problem with "open source" is that it has a fairly obvious meaning: it uses the noun "source", which is what everyone uses to describe source code, and combines it with the very common adjective "open" that's used for all sorts of things and generally means "has access to".

You can educate millions and millions of people to steer them away from the obvious meaning to the specific meaning, but "Free Software" has been trying to do that for a lot longer with extremely limited success. Overall, it seems like a distraction to me, and if you want to promote Free Software/Open Source then there are more effective ways to do that than argueing semantics.

Also, IMHO "source available" is probably a necessary stepping stone to open source in the grand scheme of things. If all software would be source available tomorrow then this would be a huge win: election machines can be audited, we will know how good (or bad) government software is, I can judge software from Company X before deciding to do business with them, I can fix bugs that are a huge issue for me myself instead of just asking "please fix this bug that's a huge deal for me", etc. etc. After this we can move on further.

The difference between the two is that there's no question that counting heads walking through a door and watching inventory patterns are not personal to the customer.

With telemetry, including web analytics, there is always a question because there is no visibility as to their actual practices. It all amounts to "trust us". And we've had more than enough experience with these things to know that such trust is frequently misplaced -- so none of it can be trusted.

And GA especially cannot be trusted, and also happens to be pretty much ubiquitous.

As a side note, it's become just as dangerous to be in a physical store as online now. People who prefer not to be spied on must pay in cash, be sure to put their phones into airplane mode before entering the store, and so forth. And with the increasing adoption of face recognition in stores, it becomes risky to even show your face. In other words, they have to be as "on guard" in the store as online.

If that boss is of the opinion that you unnecessarily escalated the situation, you can easily get the troublemaker label completely on your own, plus get some bad faith from the accused party if said boss talks to them.

In my opinion, this depends a lot on the severity of the issue anyway. If we're talking about workload assignment or some comments, talking directly will be the best solution. If the issue is serious (sexual harassment, academic fraud etc), directly escalating is warranted.

This is a good article. It's well-researched and it tries to be as even-handed as possible.

Trying to move beyond the immediate issues, something a lot of people don't talk about is the resulting lack of quality in those institutions affected by mob rule. I go to places for quality information that I used to go 20 years ago and in many cases it's a horrible pile of substandard, inadequate crap.

It's not a coincidence that the people who do the worst things are many of the same folks that sing the hymns that their side wants to hear. People in various professions and organizations are learning to play on the emotions of others. More troubling, they are learning that this public emotional manipulation is much more than adequate for their jobs. The quality of the jobs themselves suffer. We need those folks to actually do their jobs, not become or stay popular.
What are you on about? It's not like this comes up in regular conversation. Us Dutch are perfectly aware of times were people wore hats. My father even scolded me, when I forgot to take my cap off at a funeral.
Wow, glad to see this. Allbirds is a great business, makes good products, and cares about having an impact on the world/reducing climate impacts - not sure if I’ve ever seen any other S1 filing that mentions climate impacts/goals as extensively.

If the amount of shoes/repurchases I and many others I know have made over the years from them is any indication, they’re going to keep growing fast - they seem to have a knack for bringing customers back; the filing says more than 43% of customers return to purchase something else, which is impressive.
Take notes and compare them with people you trust.

I have the same problem. What I've found to be helpful is that I have several friends who don't gleefully suffer fools and are always willing to help serve as a second point-of-view on whether someone is just generally an asshole.

It's a lot easier to tell if someone is trying to sell you a snow-job if you can get the perspective on how they are outside of your field-of-view.

It's not uncommon for people, especially high net-worth individuals, to not manage their own stock portfolios.

It's hard to imagine a calm, reasonable, informed person with any degree of empathy making this kind of judgement about any significant piece of writing. What does being calm and reasonable mean if you rush to this kind of judgement? What does being informed mean if you don't know any other perspectives on a topic? What does empathy mean if you can't imagine people not agreeing with you?

It saves money for businesses exponentially more. The office space, associated utilities, physical security, cleaning, supplies, insurance, etc. are insane amount of savings.

Google's Project Hug that was revealed in the Epic trial shows that they give discounts under the table. They just don't want it to be known publicly.
But that's the point. There are always going to be distortions. And only some of those distortions come from the government. Perfect markets don't exist and can't exist. They don't line up incentives as advertised, the incentive for the producer to take as much as possible from the consumer drives all kinds of insane and harmful unexpected behavior. And market competition doesn't keep that incentive in check as the theory holds, because all producers share the same incentive and their interests align. Government distortions are sometimes self serving as you've pointed out, but just as often they are attempts to counter act the distortions created by the markets themselves.

Economic theory has never been predictive to any reasonable margin of error. And a theory that cannot predict outcomes is not a valid theory.
Overall 2 major question come up about GCC Rust and they are not easy to answer but here is part of my perspective on the issue.

1. Keep up with rustc language development
2. How do we handle inconsistencies in behaviour

For inconsistencies, we have stated in our FAQ that if GCC rust does not behave the same as rustc. Then it is a bug with GCC rust. So it is not fruitful for us to raise issues with rustc until we can compile and run the test suite, even though I have some edge cases worth exploring.

Keeping up with the language is a more difficult one, and it depends on your outlook. From my perspective, I think it would be ideal if Rust would version the language. For example, every new release of rustc might include:

- New unstable lang features.
- new language editions (like the upcoming 2021)
- Stdlib updates and stabilisations.
- Features like incremental compilation.
- Bug fixes.
- Dependencies updates like LLVM.

This is a lot of stuff that might change, and it's only the rust compiler version that gets updated for all of this work. I can see why this is the case, and it has benefits, but I am not sure rust editions are enough.

Currently, there is little to no benefit to picking a version of Rust to target. When new features are stabilised like const generics, this means state of the art in developing robust rust crates changes overnight, pushing the whole ecosystem onto the latest version of rustc. This is neat in some ways, but I am unsure how this will play out in the long run for Rust.

For me, an alternative front-end from GCC means backing from the GCC toolchain and a way to backport Rust to older versions of GCC. This also means that custom arch vendors whose only toolchains are custom GCC/binutils can also benefit from Rust as it will be part of the upstream project.

We can also explore things like language versioning with the gcc toolchain. Or explore some of the standardization efforts which I do think is important.

Other than that, big projects are fun, (I'm a huge fan of Andreas Kling serenity-os), there is a lot of low hanging fruit for people to make their mark on the compiler. Also, I thought I understood Rust, but it's exciting when you start getting into the nitty gritty.

I guess it depends on how you define "enterprise" but I always associated that word with unnecessarily bloated code. Or even worse, trying to reduce the amount of code by pushing more and more to ever more complicated declarative configuration files. That is mostly because when I hear "enterprise" I immediately think Java EE, which to me was the exact polar opposite of easy to edit and follow.

I'm not sure it will be basically nobody, but they will figure that most people who will do it will have done it by then. This release even seems to say that they will lower requirements early next year. Then I guess there will be lawsuits when the old CPUs run it just as well as the new ones because there haven't really been major CPU changes (other than integrated GPU improvements).

The US Army gave the equipment to the Afghanistan National Army and the Afghanistan National Army walked away from it. The alternative would have been for the US Army to take the equipment with it or destroy the equipment, which would have been met with a media narrative ranging from "US abandons ANA" to "US steals from ANA" or even "US destroys ANA."

I can see three ways to get rid of heading.

1. Just ban it, with the same penalties as using your hands. I used to think that this was the way to go, but I rarely watched soccer. I still don't understand soccer but over the last week I've watched a fair bit [1] and see now that simply removing headers without replacing them would alter the game too much.

2. Have the players wear something like a tennis racquet but with a longer handle attached to their back with the head of it extending above the player's head. Players can hit the ball with this instead of the head. Hitting with their head is treated like using their hands as in #1.

This is one of those things that would probably be seen as fine if and only if it has been done that way for a long time. Otherwise, it is too ridiculous to seriously propose.

3. Players can deflect the ball with the part of their arm between the elbow and the wrist, but only if the elbow is above the ears. "Above" is defined relative to the player's orientation, not relative to the ground.

This seems like it could be a close enough replacement for heading to not alter things too much.

[1] I have a "free" (it is really a rental with $0/month rent) streaming box from my ISP that includes a free Peacock Premium subscription. The ISP noticed I rarely use it and asked me to return it if I'm not going to use it more. Everything I'm interested in on it I can get on my Fire TV or on my smart TV, including Peacock. But I'm not sure if the free Peacock Premium would continue, so instead I'm trying to use the "free" box more. One way I've done that is when I'm relaxing on the couch and not otherwise using the TV I've streamed replays and highlights from soccer, both to keep up usage on the box and to see if by watching enough soccer I'll eventually start to see that it only looks largely random and there really is a lot of skill and strategy and tactics involved.
A DAW (digital audio workstation) I can work with. There are DAWs available for Linux, and one, Reaper, is quite popular and even used in professional studios. Which is great, but it doesn't fit my work flow. If I were a Pro Tools, Ableton, or Cubase user (extremely popular DAWs) I would still be stuck: they only run on Windows or Mac OS. So I'm pretty much stuck on Mac OS (I use Logic Pro).

The additional problem I have with contemplating using Linux as my daily driver is hardware support. I like laptops with long battery life that I can get 8-10 years usage. System 76 has some systems that look interesting but I have to run their Pop! OS to ensure compatibility - which removes one of the reasons I'd want to use Linux as my daily driver: I want to pick my own distro.

In the end I'm fine with using Linux on the server and using Mac OS as my daily driver. It's been working very well.

I think you're failing to apply the appropriate context to the situation back then.

Your framing of the Hursti Hack [0] and how socially acceptable it is to discuss its merits does not seem to consider the very different way society tended to handle things like this in those days. Society has changed a lot. During the Bush/Kerry race I distinctly remember that being against the voting machines was decidedly counter-culture, but definitely not indicative of being a luddite or naive. Back then, being counter-culture was "cool," and only a sliver of the population actually cared to take a position against it.

The considerable research and publication [1] related to this incident helps demonstrate that society saw this issue in quite a different light a mere 15 years ago.

The difference is that today there is an all-powerful AI that has managed to infiltrate every screen and mediate every digital interaction as a monetization opportunity with advertising. In other words, an endlessly profitable persuasion machine that dances to the tune of dollar bills and will happily push whatever narrative is most effective at widening and strengthening that conduit, i.e. maximizes engagement. It twists our preferences gradually, a little at a time, knowing full well that to risk it all with bold and obvious propaganda risks shattering the ruse and scaring you off.
The first two are already fixed, the third is fixed in v14.

The fourth will likely never be fixed as it is a byproduct of the extremely fine grained transactional capabilities in Postgres (which brings the advantage of fewer deadlocks). However, if you are disinclined to make that tradeoff, I believe that there is a backend in development that is designed to reduce bloat, using the new pluggable storage engine API.

I'll bite, in the spirit of discourse. Two issues I have with this take. First, David Bowie can afford in terms of money and in "social credit" to apologize and move on. A lowly first year prof or reporter who lost her job, friends, ability to publish, and ability to get a job besides flipping burgers despite apologizing is stuck with a metaphorical "Scarlet A" on her chest. If not for life, then for a very long time.

Second, who decides what is ___ist and how, and how is that enforced? If one disagrees fundamentally that saying "X" is ___ist, or what their anonymous accuser is saying happened at that party ages ago, where do they appeal their cause? As the article notes, these standards have changed _wildly_ over the past 5 years. There is no democratic process deciding these rules - it's just social evolution, amplified and sped up by today's communication technology. Even if one believes every new standard and the Twitter mob enforcing them is well-reasoned and morally right, I would hope they would want some due process before using these rules to take away a person's livelihood. I would hope one would be gracious toward people who for whatever reason don't immediately adjust their views to the "right" side every year. Have some consideration for us slower-evolving lifeforms, and realize you, too could eventually be on the that side of the equation some day.

Do some people cry "cancel culture" to gloss over truly stupid or downright evil things? Absolutely. Is every prof denying being __ist telling the truth? No. But it's also true that we live in a period of rapid social change, and are repeating some aspects of mob mentality that have caused problems in the past.

> Doesn't matter if the target users are in Europe. Read the GDPR, same principle.

Actually this is not true. It only applies to companies that are providing services to people physically in the EU. If you're an EU citizen but you're in America, it does not apply.

> When the regulation does not apply.
Your company is service provider based outside the EU. It provides services to customers outside the EU. Its clients can use its services when they travel to other countries, including within the EU. Provided your company doesn't specifically target its services at individuals in the EU, it is not subject to the rules of the GDPR.

Oh, I absolutely think they had influence. LG already pulled out of making Android phones as the hardware has become a loss leader, no money in it for them. Samsung at least had the benefit of almost totally complete vertical integration.

You would have to be a fool to think Samsung doesn't want a cut of app sales on their devices and as the most powerful company in Korea with large influence over government, they'll get their way. This was never about developers and it isn't a watershed moment to be excited about (unless I guess you live in Korea).
Apple very pointedly does _not_ offer total customer management. As an iOS developer, I don’t know who my customers are; I can’t contact them; I can’t offer them a refund, demo, or promo code; I can’t have any kind of relationship with them whatsoever. It’s infuriatingly archaic and useless. Whatever that system is, it certainly isn’t “total customer management”.
