IIRC smoking a joint is actually worse than smoking a cigarette, one-for-one, because of the filter a cig has. Smoking joints, the activity, is still said to be healthier than smoking cigarettes, because of the disparity in cylinders-consumed-per-day in average users, as the parent points out. That said, outliers, like Sublime's frontman Bradley Nowell, do exist. [0] Humour on HN is a risky business, but what I'm trying to imply is that I've known people who would find it quite reasonable to smoke two joints before they smoked two joints, and then they'd smoke two more. That's worse than a cigarette habit. Vapes, on the other hand...

> What are "e-ink device companies"? You mean like Amazon? Are they hostile?

Not a GP but I have been doing some research on which ereader / note taker to buy lately and although I wouldn’t call it hostile, there is definitely a pattern.

Most eink devices run some modified walled-of modifications of Android.

Most eink devices don’t support USB keyboards (for example, just something I am interested in), and even if they unofficially do, the companies would flat out deny it for some reason (Boox).

Seems like every device has it’s own perspective on how to export / import documents and content
I manage QBO for a small business and would love to dump QBO as well. I have encountered a lot of bugs that required support to resolve. My other "must-have" integrations are Shopify and Fishbowl Inventory. Xero seems to be the other viable alternative, and at least in my case they broke the QB barrier by supporting my current business critical software as well as several other potential services I have my eye on.
Plex has offered a watch together solution which seems to work really well for my users. I'm not sure if that is a unique bit of code Netflix put together or one of many decent solutions. I'd guess they need theirs to be the fastest and most efficient though.

Farmers can switch vendors if they want to. Even if they have a contract, it isn't for more than a few years. Monsanto is used because those farmers have done the math and they get the most profit working with Monsanto. Last I checked Monsanto was about a third of the seed market, the competitors total to more market share. (since I last checked Monsanto was bought out, and no longer exists)

Love the concept. My only blocker for adoption is being able to import bookmarks from Firefox into Bonsai.

Feedback and ideas:

1) On macOS Catalina - can't Cmd+Tab out of full-screen.

2) Bookmarks import.

3) Search somewhere other than Google. Would love to be able to define a set of URLs to hit, instead of being limited to https://www.google.com/search?q=...

4) Search within pages. In addition to search engines. So if I export my bookmarks to an HTML file, I could search that file. Or if I could search within local documentation that's not online.

5) Collab workspaces. A team could share a workspace that defines the same search engines and documents.

6) Window size other than fullscreen.

I agree with this to a point.

I don't think this really has to do with open source vs. closed source. But let's look at what would happen if you were paying for a product, and were given a binary blob in order to interact with it. You find a bug. You report the bug to the company. They triage it, and decide it's an edge case, fixing it isn't a high priority for them, and they toss is somewhere in the backlog and expect to get to it in 6 or 12 months or whatever.

As a customer, you're stuck. Either you figure out a workaround on your end, live with the bug, or find a new product to use. The last option might be difficult, since switching costs are often not small.

If the client was open source, you could end up with the same reaction from the company, but in this case you have the ability to try to fix the problem yourself. Should you have to, in an ideal world? No, of course not. But we often don't live in an ideal world.

I agree that a company shouldn't have the attitude that open sourcing their client absolves them of all responsibility for it. I mean, sure, if they want to do that, that's fine. I would certainly guess that would make their product less attractive to many potential customers, but if they're ok with that, that's fine. It's up to the company to decide where to spend their finite resources, and a model where they let their users fix their bugs might actually work out best for them, even if it doesn't for everybody.
Doesn’t California have a similar pay transparency law? As far as I can tell, it doesn’t work, because it’s still rare to see a salary range up front.

Apache Beam _can be_ but this person is talking about using it inside of Google (e.g. as the Dataflow API) and with a Google service. I think the comparison is on the money. That being said I think the best way forward would be both google cloud support & a JIRA ticket.

Although, to a degree, I think the authors complaint about Google's mentality towards open source is on the money, a lot of the OSS work is understaffed with the theory that the community will pick up the slack, even when the primary users of the OSS project would be Google customers.

(Full disclosure: I work on Apache Spark for my day job, have previously worked on Apache Beam for my day job, and have friends who work on Bigquery so my world view is maybe skewed).
I think many of these companies are simply too lazy to have their compliance department review listings, and have chosen to pull them instead. Which still reflects just as negatively on them, but isn't quite the same.

This law is absolutely a great step forward, but I've seen plenty of roles listing pay ranges like "Minimum - $30,200/annual Maximum - $289,200/annual," so I struggle to believe that the actual information disclosure is the issue at hand.
So do that explain why reading the OpenSSL code is like trying to translate some dead wizard's spellbook?

You can always host it yourself. Are you unable to purchase a computer or rent a static IP address?

Edit: Actually, with Tor the static IP should be unnecessary. All you need is a computer and an Internet connection.
That's such a weird reply. You claimed, were told that it's not accurate, and then went on the offense with a slightly nicer version of "why should I read about the things I claim? How about you prove that it's not as I read on that one meme on imgur.com".

If an open-source software doesn't meet your needs, no big deal, you're free to use or create an alternative.

If a big company's open-source software doesn't meet your needs, no big deal, you're free to use or create an alternative to that big company.

If a government, ISP, or otherwise no-alternative's organization's open-source software doesn't meet your needs - then it's a big deal. But I'm not sure the examples in this article are of that case. Surely there are alternatives to Apache Beam and BigQuery.

And why do you care? That's the employer's money and their waste. You're getting paid to code what your employer wants, why do you care if they want you to code for Google? You have the option to quit, and your employer has the option to switch to another service.

> Of course, the key question is: is all else equal? Organic farming does permit some other chemicals, and has a wide range of other impacts, including yields etc. So it's possible that organic farming is net negative for human welfare.

It is a given that organic is a net negative. Non-organic allows everything organic plus everything organic prohibits. We might need to reform non-organic in some cases, but those doesn't mean we need the arbitrary restrictions of organic.
Completely agree. Having to fix a bug yourself because the vendor doesn't care is annoying. Being stuck with a bug because the vendor still doesn't care is a real problem.

This is especially infuriating when the vendor is charging you six figures a year for a "support contract", but doesn't consider fixing bugs you find to be a form of support. In a just world you would get a discount on your support contract for bug fixes you make to their product.

It's hilarious reading comments like this.

The car companies that have the supply chains, the know-how, and now the motivation to electrify (the key component previously missing), will somehow defer to Tesla to build their platforms.

If Tesla can figure out how to turn their market cap larger than every other automaker into basic spare parts availability, that will be a starting point.

I try to avoid Amazon Prime Video because of the practices they use. It’s basically becoming a cable service now. Ads before the video plays, content locked up behind additional pay channels, which have the TV ads play during the content, and getting teasers of the first season of first few episodes only to find out the rest of the series is on a pay channel.
Yup. But at the same time, in the current environment, the person who applies to 100 places will more often be better off than the person who applies to 10 places.

If you need a job, you gotta play the game. Mass applying is the current meta game.
This is a predictable consequence of a shortsighted legal requirement. How many people will be deprived of work opportunities because of this law? How many jobs will Colorado lose over the next decade or more until the legislature realizes what they've done?

I wanted to try out the Linux app on Ubuntu (downloaded the .deb file), see how it compared to Obsidian (which is sadly a little awkward in terms of sync and config).

Unfortunately the desktop version is unusable - it automatically maximises itself and then gets stuck in a loop, constantly trying to resize. Trying to make the window smaller makes it go similarly crazy and it will just revert to filling the screen again.

That's unfortunately a non-starter.
The max is helpful too as I keep running into companies that want to pay 60K or 70K.

To my knowledge it only requires sharing the salary range with people once they have an offer in hand, if that person asks for it. It does not require making that range publicly available to anyone seeing the job listing.

Last year unity retroactively changed the license on assets from its asset store. Since then, you can no longer let freelancers or contractors use your assets while they do work for you, you end up having to buy them each a copy of everything in practice unless their work is really decoupled from the project.

It’s a real killer for indies who are trying to collaborate who have not formed a company yet. This seems to apply to items you purchased before they changed the terms. They even promised they freelancers could use your assets in support forums days before the change

I stopped using unity after that. They don’t act in good faith towards their users

It's very simple. It's to a company's benefit to miss twenty qualified applicants than to hire a single unqualified one. It's to a company's benefit to miss twenty qualified applicants than to reveal their salary range during negotiation to a single one. It's to a company's benefit to lose twenty qualified employees than to promote anyone from within. You can justify just about any industry practice by saying a dramatic number while wearing a smart expression on your face.
In general I'm sure that's a possibility, and it probably occurs in the Russian case. In Canada we are quite confident in our electoral system, and this sort of shenanigans doesn't change that (or result in substantial confusion, since we clearly spell out candidates political parties - indeed I suspect most people vote based on party more than based on candidate name). I don't believe for an instant that this had a substantial effect on the PPCs voter turnout.

More charitable interpretation:

The Internet is the public square these days. Imagine if your town's public spaces were all owned by private businesses and you couldn't use them if those private businesses didn't like your message, skin color, gender, ethnicity, religion, or face.

Exactly. We live in a world of limited options. "Perfect software that never fails" isn't a thing, and even "really good software that has the best support" isn't that common.

If you have a closed-source client and the company won't fix their bug, and you can't find a workaround, your only option is to search for an alternative that meets your needs (which may or may not exist), throw away a bunch of integration work, and start from scratch, possibly needing to heavily refactor or rearchitect your application. At least if the client is open source, you have one more option to consider before taking that big step.

I still get paid either way. If the project ends up being late because of problems with a dependency, that's life.

It's a massive price hike for people like me that are frugal with software purchases. I just checked and I paid $171 CAD for QuickBooks Desktop Pro 2018 because I bought it on sale. The same subscription version is $199, which I assume is USD, so ~$250 CAD per year.

Now I don't have a PHD in math or anything, but $1250 over 5 years vs $171 for a perpetual license that I estimate should last me to the 5 year mark is a bit of a difference.

There won't be any more sales and everyone knows what happens next. They'll start charging addon pricing for features or charging "per something" for things where they can and before you know it the cost of your bookkeeping software will be getting married to your revenue in some way. They'll push until they're getting a cut of all your revenue.

I work with a lot of small businesses. They're not dumb. They know they're getting completely screwed by stuff like this, but there's nothing they can do about it. It's abusive, anti-competitive behavior and Intuit should be on the list of companies that needs to be scrutinized by the government.

Edit: Re-reading the fine print, it's $199 for the first year then it jumps to $299, so it's actually ~$1770 CAD over 5 year. That's a 10x price increase for me. TEN TIMES!!
