> It does nothing of the sort. It's a enormous leap based on an assumption of bad faith to go from expecting protocol users to sort out their own personal tax situation to "willfully assisting in tax avoidance."

There are obviously lots of subtleties here, including places where no-one knows how the legal implications will shake out, but "expecting … users to sort out their own personal tax situation" isn't always an option; for example, my bank isn't allowed to assume I'll sort out my own personal tax situation and must report my interest earned, whereas, say, Amazon is allowed to make that assumption, and so need not report the items that they have sold to me. It could be that this is a more Amazon-y situation, but it could also be that it's a more traditional-bank-y situation. Probably even the IRS and Leshner, but definitely those of us who aren't involved in the situation, don't know which it is.
I think people would be surprised how much of the innovation in dev div is directly attributable to retention projects. Basically, let me do this here or I will go to Facebook and do it. I think much of the open sourcing is due to people threatening to leave if it wasn’t. They get sick of building things that get shelved.

The Steve Sinofsky era did so much damage to morale at Dev Div that they’re now going to great lengths to placate certain devs.

With how few Silicon Valley developers (i.e., they can afford it) I've seen pay for Sublime Text, I'm going to guess "no."
Unfortunately, the most strident voices saying that any term is overused are usually those to whom even strict definitions apply.

"I'm not anti-sneetch, I just..."

Assuming that people use a term because of their own agenda is not helpful IMO. Maybe they actually do believe the information was false, and that it was spread deliberately. Why not give them the benefit of the doubt that you insist on yourself?
If you have a helpful comment make it. If not, well no need for a disclaimer.
This seems like an egregious use of the word "literally" I think you should look up the use cases for decentralized finance.
I don't, though I've never given it a ton of thought until now

Thinking about it: individual donations to OSS are an odd thing. I can see two reasons an entity might donate:

1) They believe ideologically in the impact the project has on the world

2) They directly benefit from it (and feel a social obligation and/or just want to make sure it remains sustainable)

But the thing is:

1) There aren't many software projects I could see being invested in at an ideological level. Maybe a BSD or a Firefox, but not like, a web framework.

2) Similarly there aren't many software projects that an individual would directly benefit from in their personal life. Again maybe a BSD or a Firefox, but not really a web framework.

A business benefits greatly from those libraries and frameworks, and should absolutely donate (though they rarely do), and if I had my own business as an individual then it would donate to the OSS that it used. But as an employed individual I don't feel like I should be subsidizing the projects that my employer - and not myself - is benefitting from.

None of this is to discourage anyone who feels moved to donate to a project for their own reasons, but I think (and I think we all know) OSS funding is broken, and won't be fixed through sheer principle.
how's that working out
> You can't just ignore the negative aspects of a system because it doesn't suit your sensibilities.

What I said was, if a system of government allows one group of people to turn another group of people into slaves, then it isn't a democracy. By my definition, a democracy does not allow slavery, because a democracy must treat all citizens equally.

> Democracy is simply a system to decide on policies that govern a group of people

To me it's more than that. It's a principle of governance. Not just the how of the system, but the why.

> So you're fine with the electoral college then, right?

You mean the American system for electing presidents? I don't know exactly, I am half a world away. I will say that from here that country looks pretty bad all in all, but the fact that a single person holds so much power seems a lot more problematic than how that person is picked - although it would be interesting to see what would happen if they somehow managed to find a good one. As far as I know that's never happened.

> "Proof of Capability of Work"

I'm not an expert on this, but:

Practicality aside this is either still really wasteful (lot's of unused compute sitting around in some datacenter) or really susceptible to attacks (e.g. "proof of the capability to rent a lot of AWS servers for a few seconds - everybody can do that, and somebody will")
I think anyone can report anything they don't like.

It's more that insults against people over 40 (or that reference people over 40) will be taken seriously, where as insults against/referencing 20 year olds apparently won't be.

So, I'm assuming "ok boomer" would not be OK, but "ok junior" would be.

From reading the comments, it sounds like it's actually self-described "non-protected" folks that are proposing these rules. And the incident started with some male developers getting upset about a joke/insult about females.
We did a project in college as part of a Management class. We interviewed employees in a local enterprise and built a Graph describing the relationships between Employees(Nodes). We asked questions like Who do you like the most/the least, etc. It was very interesting and insightful, but I can't remember what the methodology was called and I haven't seen in it again in many years.

Tech pays well and has benefits, beyond that it leaves a lot to be desired. Having worked “shit jobs” tech is great when it’s great but when it’s miserable it is worse than retail, construction, etc. Your self-worth and ego are closely entwined with your performance, and sometimes situations outside yourself can make it hard to perform. At least in retail you never dream about a problem or question if you are smart or good enough to do your job.

The whole "corporations owe open-source developers remuneration" movement feels like the setup for a big grift. Maybe we'll get some laws passed that enforce this. Maybe we'll get something like the RIAA which tried to claim royalties for all streaming audio, regardless of if the copyright holder was a RIAA member (https://m.slashdot.org/story/84061).
I'll honestly just say it outright: this is horrible advice.

People using this argument has clearly never needed to be multi-cloud. If you can ever, ever, ever, avoid being absolutely forced into this, you should. Being able to move fast on infrastructure has such big implications, and being multi-cloud basically means that you can only rely on an extremely minimal subset of features that completely align across the clouds (hint: the less managed stuff).

> You don’t spend … that you can’t price.

I think you’re massively overthinking things. Most people look at the Model 3, see it costs the same as a Toyota Camry, want to help the environment and have Spotify in their car, skip the dealership, go to tesla.com, see dirt cheap financing available, and make the purchase. If they don’t it’s because they’re not comfortable giving up their gas car yet because that’s what they know. Not because they can’t “price it”. Further in the current market Teslas depreciate noticeably less than ICE vehicles because they don’t need maintenance.

You may not be able to price a Tesla, and that’s fine, but don’t get some impression that just because you can’t that other’s cant and moreover that it’s the sole factor contributing to why they allegedly don’t buy. Where I live nobody is “pricing” their $65k Truck, they just want a big fucking truck 30% of their household net worth be damned! You’re full of FUD.

Lastly looking at overall population numbers is kinda silly. We’re not going to wake up and everyone has replaced their perfectly fine car with a tesla. If you look at market share growth Tesla shot up in 2017 with the Model 3. And it wasn’t just a balloon, their growth has continued. They sold 500k cars last year, a little less than half of their previous total up to that year. Again: people are buying Tesla and more people by percentage are buying every year. A Tesla was a rarity 5 years ago but that’s no longer the case. The fact that we can observe this with only 1.5MM Teslas on the road is pretty cool.

I really seen a lot of buzz recently about notion, cool work you are doing.
Not said or pointed out enough but the FCC has sorta been neutered by the US Supreme Court over the past year. TCPA law was greatly weakened and if you want to be a spamlord it's just pay to play now with CTIA regulating everything.

So, sure this might slow down poor international spammers from some Randomistan/randomnesia but it's not going to slow down commercial/election spam and you as a phone subscriber now have very little legal recourse to combat domestic spammers.
Web3 isn't solving problems that the average user cares about. The vast majority of people just care that they can read articles, watch videos, do shopping, etc...

Web3 makes these tasks more complex and slower in order to create a decentralised, privacy-preserving, cryptocurrency supporting network. No average user cares about privacy on the web or paying with anything other than fiat.

And if the user base isn't there, what company will build software to interact with Web3? Every usable browser today is made by a for-profit company.

I can see it being used for niche, nerdy communities, but that's about it. I don't think it will ever be mainstream.
Yes, I donate regularly. There was a time when I wasn’t earning a lot to donate but still benefitted from the work freely provided by others. So I see it as a way of supporting current work and paying it forward so that others who cannot afford to buy software (or don’t have access to do so…) don’t get left out.

Mozilla Foundation (would donate to Firefox directly if there were a way to do that)

I would think there has to also be some trend whereby lending to untrusted third parties has actually become cheaper and less risky. As in, creditors have recourse to a court system and police they don't have to personally fund, rather than paying enforcers to find people and break knees. And wages these days are far more stable than hundreds of years ago, so whoever you loaned money to is a lot less likely to suffer drastic life-changing events that leave them unable to pay in a way you didn't anticipate. We also have better data and better predictive models. Insurance is more widespread. Some insurance is directly provided by the government with nearly zero chance of not paying. All of these factors should be expected to make it cheaper to borrow money.
I am also a bit confused by this. I have definitely read before that you can't keep money payed by mistake. Is this different in the US or is this some difference with cryptocurrencies vs normal banks?
Bank of America Is Down
Yeah peer-to-peer is a different scenario. I'm assuming traditional client-server.

Some of that depends on the version of UUID you are using. v1 and v6 UUIDs with timestamps can provide very useful for debugging. Of course v1 are problematic with MAC address embedding and v6 still just "draft/experimental" with the IETF.

My offline-first apps I settled on using ULIDs, which have time stamps and put them first so that they sort lexicographically (such as when included in string CouchDB/PouchDB _ids), and I've been pretty happy with that. That timestamp up front in the first few bytes can help a lot in debugging/"human understanding" of about where the ULID fits in a log stream.

I can also tell you at this point way more than you care to know about storing ULIDs in Microsoft SQL Server to get decent clustered index behaviors.
There are high switching costs, and every time a competitor has an outage it makes the argument that much tougher. (You don’t get fired if the technology your predecessor chose has an outage. You might if the one you choose does.) Eventually the incumbents crumble but it takes a long time.
> Oh shit did I just back into...

No, actually you didn't.

> has there been anything on something like "Proof of Capability of Work"? ie "Yes, I have all this compute power potential, but I'm not using it".

As far as I know, there has not. But I hope you are a physicist, because this idea is genius.

The key role played by counterfactuals in quantum mechanical systems might make it technically possible to prove potential to perform computation that is never performed.
I share your concerns and avoid it for the same reasons : )

Just giving options and google fodder.
Possible, you need to convince the phone company, but it is done just often enough for real reasons that it is posisble
What I'm wondering is - where would donated money actually go?

I'm reminded of disease research charities where most of the money goes to administrative overhead and the people doing the work and making the breakthroughs don't see any of it.
I wouldn't call it "bullying" myself, but it does seem a bit like making a mountain out of a molehill.

A big problem with these kind of discussions is that they tend to escalate quite fast. The battle lines are pre-drawn and anything that looks vaguely "sexist" or vaguely "cancel culture-y" will be shot at, no matter what the actual topic is. So this this (minor) incident becomes yet another front on the Great Culture Wars.

It's unfortunate because it's very hard to have good-faith conversations like this.
Timeline of this study is the very beginning of mysterious pandemic. I guess, people had other sorrows than being very innovative at work. It was absolutely not clear how lethal the new virus is and how it will affect the world.
>1) As an editor it’s novel for his high performance across so many platforms.

Sublime Text is one of many cross-platform text editors with superior performance than that of VS Code.

>2) As a plug-in platform with a simple marketplace it’s the first time I’ve seen this work well across many types of dev groups. “Easy enough” for html designers, and data scientists as well as traditional programmers. Plug-ins exist for other tools, but not as easily put together as this.

This existed before VS Code. Perhaps an argument can be made with respect to the UI of such a repository, but the existence of this concept has been around for a while.

>3) The release schedule is so rapid. At least monthly releases with new features with lots of community ideas realized.

This isn't innovative. This is having a lot of money, thus resources, to have such a release cadence.

I can see the argument where VS Code is better suited for some people but innovative it is not (and that's OK).
