Its a tough question to answer, with so many "if's" and "maybes". There have already been some good suggestions here which I won't repeat.

But one I would suggest is minimising the number of places with your "real" information, i.e. if "real" information is not required by law (e.g. financial services, health services, insurance, billing etc.), then train yourselves to use pseudo information.

For example, if a website asks for your date of birth. Ask yourself, is it required by law or is it just for user profiling. If the latter, then just invent a date of birth (and if the date of birth may be required for password recovery, make a note of it in your password manager).

The same goes for your "real" name. Do you need to give them your real name as shown on your government ID ? Or can you give an abbreviation or even pseudonym ?

The same goes for answers to "security questions", just invent stuff, don't give the "true" answer.

You can take all the technical countermeasures you like, but sometimes it's easier to KISS ... if a service doesn't need your details, don't give it to them in the first place.
It strikes me that the goal being sought here appears to be far less profit maximisation and far more market dominance.

Economic theory is mistaken in presuming profit is the principle driver, power is. Profit is merely one means to power.
This is a weird stance to take. Software development is not sports. There is no "game day," and the best teams I've worked on have managed to treat folks with respect while still maintaining a high degree of quality.

You can treat people kindly without having to agree with their opinions, or taking their PRs. If you are already going to reply or interact with them, it costs the same to be kind as it does to be a jerk.
"The comparison is to be made between what could have happened, and what did."

Disagree. If the question we are asking is whether developed countries have provided a net benefit, the hypothetical has to be with them never having interacted with the country in question at all.

"South Korea & Co are no longer intentionally oppressed."

This is the No True Scotsman fallacy.

"Every act of Foreign Policy is done in order to maintain a lifestyle, to protect national interests. I don't know how you can argue that it is not."

I already provided my argument. In the modern world we are richer when they are richer due to comparative advantage. Afghanistan made us much poorer, not richer, besides one or two special interests. More countries like SK means more wealth for us.
Slow progress BUT energised $0, ~150 installs/~100 days(iOS) + launched Android
## Story

Approx 100 days ago, I've launched Segro: an iOS app to get statistics based on your calendar usage.

So far, I've almost reached 150 installs with a little blogging and spamming on Reddit.

I'm done with the spamming on Reddit! It doesn't feel sustainable.
I don't want to push the app through the throat of other people.
I want to help them and find the app as useful as I do.

The funny thing is that I am using the app a lot, but others are barely using it.
It makes me wonder: are there better solutions to the result I seek?
Or am I doing a bad job on explaining it and clarifying the benefits?

Anyways... people asked for the Android version.
Even though I'm not making any money, and the number don't look really promising, I want to help them.

So: I just launched the Android version.

Also worth to mention: I made 0 revenue (only 1 month a subscriber, a friend of mine. I don't count him).

## Last but not least

Although the app is not used by many (yet?),
I still feel really energised!

My "high hopes" of 10.00+ installs in a year are down,
but my own usage and solving my own problems...
seeing it have a positive effect on my life...

It boosts me with energy!
Even though it only costs me money to make it publicly available (hosting/app store costs/domain name)

## Anyhow... I just want to end this post by saying:

Even though it is not going how you initially hoped/dreamed of,
be proud of the steps you took and get energy of the path you dare to take.

Based on what I've seen I'm not convinced vitamin D is responsible for all of the benefits that get attributed to it. It is very hard to separate the impact of getting vitamin D from the sun from other effects like exercise and spending time in nature. If you're worried about vitamin D levels and can do it, I'd suggest small lifestyle changes like taking a 10 minute walk outside after meals before supplementing. Having said that, I do currently also supplement vitamin D since its winter.
A model I like is as such:

Copyrights are possible to extend indefinitely.

The owner must declare a value every year for their copyrighted material.

The owner must pay X% of the material's value per year as tax.

The owner can release the copyright at any time.

Others may bid to own the copyright. If it is higher than the owner's declared value, the owner must raise their bid to match, or else the copyright is sold to the highest bidder.
The last time I checked, the web version was limited to 720p. Although I guess that might have been better than broken lipsync.

While I'm on the subject... about a year ago I tried subscribing to the 4K plan, since I bought a 4K monitor. Netflix only played in 4K if I used an HDMI cable, not DisplayPort, and only if I completely unplugged my secondary 1440p monitor (turning it off wasn't enough).
I always wondered why they didn't combine a Moka pot with an electric kettle. It would work much faster, would be safer (can turn off after time if you forget water), and can max the temperature at 80 degrees Celsius so you don't get bitter coffee. Also, it could have different sizes for the coffee grind for when you have company over.

Finder, Slack: Squircle

Chrome, VS Code: Logo in a white squircle

So only about half are squircles, and one of them is not the OS X squircle.

Why so much hate for loops? Loops are just a nice notation for some computational constructs. Sometimes they are the clearer way to write an algorithm. Very often an algorithm becomes clearer when written in explicit loop form than in "vectorial" notation.

Loops do not need to be artificially slow to discourage them. Any modern programming language should be able to recognize the construct and compile it in the most efficient way. Saying that you must avoid loops because they are slow is a failure in a particular programming language, not in the concept of loop. After all, all languages managed to implement loops efficiently many decades ago.

You won't get good on the game if you don't have any aptitude to programming. But being bad at the game means nothing, and it certainly doesn't reflect any expertise, just basic aptitude.

It also only reflects one of the many tasks a developer usually does as an employee, that is creating algorithms. For a senior developer, that's probably not an apt task for differentiation, because it's quite bounded.

in K, there is an adverb form which is essentially equivalent to a while loop: apply a function or composition to a value repeatedly as long as a second function or composition of that value yields true.

It's basically an "escape hatch" when an algorithm cannot be cast into any more specific pattern, like iteration, a fixed-point, a reduction, etc. In practice it is needed very rarely.

There's a complete list of adverb forms for k6 here: https://github.com/JohnEarnest/ok/blob/gh-pages/docs/Manual....

I don't think F.Brennan (OP) is making any demands here. He's simply commenting on a pattern of forsaking the good for the perfect in a lot of repositories that, in his opinion, cause them to stagnate.

I see no expectations, or demands in this post. Only disappointment at what OP sees as a missed opportunity.

OP is a pretty prolific contributor to open-source, and I get that ones purview doesn't extend past ones owns projects, but it certainly affords perspective. I hardly think any of the comments in this post are anything OP or any project maintainer should take personally or as undue pressure. It's simply well-trodden commentary [0].

As an engineer, I wouldn't dare leave this behind.

If some copyright lawyer finds out, might he sue? Even if meritless, the company would not like the legal hot water. And recalling the silicon is expensive, compared with a software patch.

Not saying that's what happens, just that I would not want to personally shoulder the risk.
This is not a good idea. Giant companies could buy the copyrights for all intellectual property and no individuals would be able to own valuable intellectual property.

Netflix seem to have got pretty needy. I got 18 emails begging for me to come back since October. So their cheery "cancel any time" was said through clenched teeth.

It would be fantastic to have a Spotify type service for films. In fact I would pay proper money to just have access to all stuff over say 10 years old. I suspect it will never happen. Music has been a commodity to take home for over 100 years. Video 50 years, so just another 50 years to go.
> It's saying that they are not capable of making a quality contribution.

But isn't that true? At least not right away, which is why the code gets reviewed. I'm pretty sure everyone writes bug ridden garbage, unless they're not already intimately familiar with the codebase already.
I'd love to try cooking a goose, but I've never seen one for under fifty bucks in the grocery store. The specialty stores like whole foods carry them year round so they're expected to be over priced there, but even the middle tier nearby store sells them for almost 90 dollars at Christmas time. Duck you can atleast find at a reasonable price if you know where to look.
How much of that went to artists and how much went to the record labels?

Spotify 'negotiated' a deal with the record labels that maximised how much money that went to the labels and minimised the money that went to song writers and artists.
I guess my point is that you don’t seem to know much about watches, and are basing your view on a caricature of ‘rich people’. To my eye, some watches certainly do look like silly baubles, but that is a question of taste.

For me, personally I look at the life of someone like Roger Smith, and envy his craftsmanship and dedication to mastery. I see a great deal of similarity between him, and say John Carmack - as dedicated masters of their medium.

I would like to own a Roger Smith watch, partly because it’s beautiful, and partly because I would like to live in a world where more people get to develop their skills, and where skills are passed on, and artistry is encouraged.

Of course it’s terrible that more people don’t have the opportunity to do this, but that doesn’t have anything to do with watches.

Yes, it’s easier for the rich to possess art than the poor, of course. No, that doesn’t mean art is only about the rich.

Wow that video is an amazing time capsule of top AI researchers working together! But aside from controlling helicopters the research is very different. That research was based on apprenticeship learning where a human provides the ground truth and the algorithm learns to mimic it. This paper is learning general control systems, and critically provably stable control systems, without human involvement.
It's saying they are not capable of making a quality contribution without criticism/review.

Your reply here is some serious pedantry, you're essentially arguing that the output of most programmers is totally disconnected from the abilities of most programmers.

Really, what other relevant external indicators of the abilities of a given programmer does anyone have access to besides the code they output?
I am similarly annoyed by the "natural immunity" argument. Whether or not natural immunity is as effective as vaccination (it seems to be?), what I care about and oppose is having to prove medical status as part of daily life. As soon as you shift the argument away from "should we have to show a certificate" to "what gets you a certificate" or faking one, you've already conceded that it's ok to have to show one in the first place. It's not OK and I wish we spent more time on that.
I've given up on offline Netflix access after the third time the content I downloaded before a plane/train/... trip refused to play once I left wifi. It always said it expired due to changed region or something silly.

Now I just torrent things and play them in VLC. Same or better quality, no buffering, custom subtitle size if I want. And 100% reliable.
You are complaining about a format - with the stated goal to be very simple - not supporting some scientific usecase. What...? Use a different format then. That's not what this is trying to be. In fact, it's the exact opposite of what it's trying to be.
The primary reason for dry turkey is overcooking it. The main reason people over cook it is not having an accurate temperature probe and not knowing the right temperature to pull it. I thought I had a good thermometer early on until I discovered ThermoWorks. Their thermometers are what you will find in a majority of commercial kitchens. There are other details like brining the turkey, cooking temperature, etc. check this article from ThermoWorks as a start: https://www.thermoworks.com/cooking-turkey/

> The same goes for answers to "security questions", just invent stuff, don't give the "true" answer.

Invent plausible stuff. Do not use random characters or nonsensical words, because then you make it easier for a social engineer to bypass that when talking with customer service.

For example, "What was your first pet's name?"

Make up something like "Mister Bubbles", something childish that could actually be a pet's name.
It’s just, I never considered so many people types this way and it’s one of those things that is hard to imagine doing when being used to something after 30 years (I’m 41, been typing since I was like 10 or 11), but I appreciate the logic in getting good enough.
There is little evidence of any health benefit from oral vitamin C supplementation. If you have a normal metabolism and eat at least a little bit of fresh produce then you're probably getting enough. Any excess isn't absorbed, just pissed away.

Intravenous vitamin C might be another story and there is active research underway as a potential treatment for several conditions. I don't think any conclusive results have been reached yet.
This article and a lot of comments here don't understand the business reasons why this happening. Everyone rings their hands and says why can't we just have everything in one place for a "reasonable" price like Spotify?

Well first of all, Spotify is no panacea, artists and labels don't really like it but they have no choice because they need distribution in order to sell albums/concert tickets. Even the largest artists like Taylor Swift who has protested against low Spotify royalties only temporarily took some material off Spotify, and ended up putting it back because in the end she looks like the bad guy to her fans if they can't stream her on Spotify like everything else they listen to.

Netflix was originally hoping to corner the market in a similar way, and they had a good first step with the Starz deal in 2008. However video is different and those rightsholders had full view of what happened in the music industry, so they were not about to make the mistake of ceding all power to a middle man. By the time Starz deal expired in 2012 it was clear that Netflix could never get all content because rightsholders would not let it happen. Similarly, the industry realized they need their own distribution. So Netflix and HBO entered a race to become each other. Since then the technology has only commodified which has allowed more rightsholders to get into the game.

Is this bad for consumers? Sure, but "the industry" is not a monolithic entity, and they certainly will do everything it takes to avoid becoming dependent on a single distributor with too much power like Spotify. It doesn't matter how many angry nerds complain on the internet, these companies will continue acting in their own self-interest, and the market carrying capacity for streaming services is probably way higher than most consumers want to admit. The only thing that will turn this around is by services dying because people don't pay for them, and I don't see that happening any time soon.

> And have separate e-mails

Absolutely ! But that aspect is not just a security thing, its an anti-spam thing.

Infact I'd almost consider the security aspect a bonus, the ability to kill off email addresses if you start getting spammed is the primary benefit (for me at least!).
In some sense this is how particle collisions works. You collide something and with certain probability you get something else at the other end under the physical constraints. Probably you want to use bigger particles and lower energy though to go from subatomic to atomic/molecular scale. The laser ignition fusion experiments would be closer to that. (Mind the costs though :))

Similarly I still have subscriptions in netflix/prime/appletv but I can’t remember the last time I opened the apps. I have set up all the shows I watch in sonarr and it automatically downloads them a few minutes after the show airing and then offloads them to Plex which is a universal interface.

That's not entirely generalisable though, e.g. not in the limit 'room temperature forever'; there is also a temperature you just plain have to get to (depending what you're trying to kill) no matter how long you hold it.

So what if there is?

I'm watching at home, using my TV - it is nowhere close to a "cinema experience", I'm already paying a monthly fee, and I don't believe I've ever seen any streaming rental as expensive as £20 before. So, it was certainly a surprise to me!
