Hmm. Are the claims made in the filing true? How does that work?

Under what license is the code released?

If it’s some standard OSS license anyone would be able to distribute it commercially?

If it’s some kind of special license, allowing for only non-commercial use, can it really be called open source?

EDIT: Apparently it’s Hashicorp’s filing. And their CLA does not seem to give any special exclusive commercial license to Hashicorp. Further, e.g Terraform is licensed under MPL-2, which should make the claims in the filing hard to enforce, no?

How does this compare to gpg?
It's mostly about efficiency. If you want to watch a 4 minute video and the first 2 minutes were ads, wouldn't you skip it? Same principle: people talk slower than necessary in many of these videos, or make unnecessary edits that slow it down content-wise.

I think this search for faster learning is fueled by the realization that we only have so many lines of text, or minutes of video or audio content, that we can consume in life. I don't want to waste that on ads or someone's idea of a fancy video transition. It's the reason why I don't like podcasts or radio programs: too much of it is spent on introductions or random subjects. I have other shit to do, so if I can maximize the retention in a shorter timespan, that's much better.

There's an ever-present desire to learn more, and the more you learn the more new topics you find out about. Personally I am a bit bothered. I bought a bunch of books over the years and recently I've realized maybe I won't be able to go through all of them at my current speed. So I'm trying to learn how to read faster (with retention) and be more methodical about it.

For things you need to go in depth the learning is necessarily slow: a college course, a textbook, years of experience. But if I want to learn something small that has less relevance to my life, I don't want to waste that time.
> You’re ignoring actual experts and spreading misinformation and now lies.

Your responses to the commenter above (across a few threads) are sounding hysterical. I'm not sure why. :(

At least they seem to be trying to work out the numbers and thing for themselves, and are looking for external sources for information to work with.
I haven't heard anything like that. Seems like the world cup is just going to continue like it always does.

That 400 million dollars of potential prize money, excluding all the extra ad revenue players might receive for wearing a particular brand of shoe or drinking a particular beverage, is enough to evaporate any morals. There's also the prestige factor, the dream of being crowned the best of the best.

I've heard some stories of teams considering a boycot, but very few of those teams had any chance in getting through the qualification round. It's very easy to boycot an event you don't take part in.

For the sake of sports, soccer teams have ignored the horrid treatment of the locals many times over. FIFA is corrupt beyond saving and the Olympic Committee isn't much different. The real game being played is that of the corrupt, taking money to ensure coca cola and friends can sell ads to enough people.

We've seen massive changes in platform culture online when advertisers got scared of being associated with bad stuff, like with Elsagate on YouTube, so I think the only way to get anyone to care is to threaten the income of the parties involved. Treat any advertisement on Qatar 2022 as an endorsement of modern day slavery and be sure to let the web know how you feel. Maybe, just maybe, when the big companies start to pull out, the teams and players will suddenly find their morals again.
Even my cheap IKEA bookcase came with a strap and a mount point for it. I think it would withstand a moderate earthquake, but not necessarily a child applying that level of leverage.

I had a PortableApps setup on my USB hard drive when I was in college. With this setup, I didn't need a laptop. I can use any Windows desktop in computer labs or libraries. Super convenient. I always dislike the small screen and keyboard on laptops, so it was very helpful.

And I put the USB drive in my backpack, only took out the cable when using it. So I never lose it or damage it.

I ran Firefox, Notepad++, XAMPP, R and RStudio from the USB drive. At that time, Dropbox was new and there were hacks to run Dropbox on USB drives.
Today’s economics has very little to do with anti-redistributive policies today. Your point about ideal allocation is among the core tenets of economics as the diminishing marginal value of money. The mechanism of incentive that allowing for unequal wealth creates is, unfortunately, a conflicting idea. These need to be balanced, but I assure you mainstream economic science would place the optimum at broadly European levels rather than what the US reality is.
Agreed, but when I really want to learn something (which is always, for me, math, physics andor CS), then I want to read as it focuses me far better. But I agree; if it is not something I want to practice but just learn about, it does work.

I blogged about it when I launched it and that post received comments and applause from senior Google engineers and the official Firebase Twitter account even tweeted about it

I'm always sceptical when there are no links or evidence backing up these kinds of claims. I can not see any writings in Medium by this account about a launch of this application, which makes me even more sceptical.

Not saying the author is fabricating this whole thing, but there is literally no proof of this ever having happened either.

/edit:
Was able to find that blog post finally, so I was wrong.
Judging from your and the GP's comments (only; didn't go there), something there has to be hard.
Fast fashion is definitely a problem no matter the gender. The rate of replacement per item and the amount of fabric per item are negatively correlated so cancel out a bit. There’s a lot of junk clothing made for both men and women out there.

I currently have a bag full of mens clothes to take to the tailor to repair: holes in pockets, elbow holes, loose buttons.

Germany competes in Europe, while the US competes in the confederation of oceania or something like that. Even with some corrections for the strength of the opponents, such comparison has weaknesses.
If you're going to effectively combat human rights violations and modern slavery, it's better to do it with facts and accurate statistics, rather than easily refuted figures. The Qatari government can make exactly the same (reasonable) points that commenters here are—a weak case makes it easy for guilty parties to evade responsibility.

Pointing out flaws in critical reports is not "defending human rights violations," it's highlighting weaknesses in the case, which helps people to make a stronger case.

(Plus, something isn't right and true just because Amnesty says it.)
D also has the good characteristic of not needing to download the entire Earth and compile half of it before starting a project. You just apt install ldc2 or apt install gdc and there you go (pun not intended).

Exactly! It's possible you and I have ADHD, but it's worth giving out this tip. Watching at a sped up rate lets you filter out the crap and find the "real" content.

In a simple world you'd just slow it back down to 1x when you get to this point, and you wouldn't need 2x, you could just skip forwards 10 seconds at a time like most people until you find it.

Unfortunately there tends to be fillers throughout the video, even inside of the sentences people speak. The real lifehack is to keep the high speed and then pause when the video said something important, so you can digest what you just heard, and resume - rinse and repeat.

A variant solution I prefer is to always be regulating the speed according to the load on your attention span. Videos change so much in info density from one minute to the next, it's nothing short of strange to watch at one set speed throughout. I think the fact it's so common to "give up" and "accept" a given video speed is an artifact of the fact that people have never had the experience of letting their subconscious finely control the speed with muscle-memory. Doing it keeps your attention at 100% usage all the time. Low info density, high speed. High info density, low speed. Use a browser addon that gives you hotkey control over the speed, or use ff2mpv to exploit mpv's native speed controls.
Yes, the only reason I had it 2x was because the guy talked so slowly. I've started using that feature a lot for other lecturers though. It's easy to slow it down if you get to a sticky part.

I was in a Bell Labs facility that had notoriously bad power. We occupied the building before the second main feed had been fully approved by the state and run to the building.

Our main computer lab had a serial UPS that was online 100% of the time, though the inverters where under a very light load. If the mains even acted 'weird' (dips, bad power factor, spikes) the UPS jumped full on, and didn't revert to main power until the main was stable for some duration of time. The UPS was able to carry the full lab (which was quite large) for about two hours, allowing plenty of time for the generator to fire up.

The UPS ran a lot, and because the main was 'weird', the outages were often short, the generator wouldn't even start during the first ten minutes of UPS coverage. Of course, the rest of the building would be dark, other then emergency lighting.

I was a embedded firmware engineer, and our development lab was directly on the wall behind the UPS. When it fired into 100% mode, it roared, mostly from cooling. It was sort of a heads up that the power was likely to fail soon.

The idea that it was MS Teams’s sales team behind the anti Zoom “propaganda” (lets accept that it was propaganda for now) doesn’t make much sense because it was never obvious that MS would be the beneficiary of people moving away from Zoom.

Teams was half baked at best, and lacked a vast majority of the features that made Zoom useful. For example, it was only well into the pandemic that Teams gained the ability to have virtual backgrounds. You couldn’t have meetings with more than 10 or so people until very recently. Pretty much none of the features that made Zoom popular were even possible on Teams.

The real beneficiary should have been Google Hangouts, but Google moved too slowly (actually, it would probably be more accurate to say that Google didn’t move at all…or if they did they moved backwards).
> It’s too bad this couldn’t be briefly explained in the abstract by the researchers.

Where would you stop? It's a medical abstract that is full of terms and phrases that, for instance, my parents wouldn't understand. How long would this abstract be if aimed at a Grade 10 reading level?

I counted at least 15 medical, diagnostic or clinical trial terms that would need to be explained to the average person, but would be the correct and concise terminology for a practitioner in the field.

"Orthostatic symptoms and syncope",
"severe autonomic dysfunction",
"randomized, controlled, crossover fashion",
"brachial blood pressure", "thoracic impedance", "blood flow velocity", "brachial artery", "middle cerebral artery", "presyncope", "supine mean blood pressure", "(P<0.01)", "stroke volume", "Cerebral blood flow regulation", "acute hemodynamic response", "cerebrovascular regulation"
It’s not recorded differently at that aspect ratio so it wouldn’t matter how our eyes are stacked.

The image processor nor renderer does anything different for the experience to be different.

No different than a crop.
Very good.

> So does this mean they don't exist?

Given GP never hears about forced labor, GP may want to express that the percentage of people who are being forced to labor is low, or nearly impossible. "sth doesn't exists" is somewhat extreme.
When I read this I immediately thought "typing faster makes me a less annoyed programmer, and better would be a happy accident", then realised it was the same for speeding up or pausing audio. Having control over the speed at which ideas are launched at me is more about not getting distracted or frustrated than learning faster.

The blog post is misinformed; I have never seen a CLA granting an "exclusive" license.

Of course it's true that CLAs are not symmetrical and when you sign one, you usually give more than you gain. That's why lots of projects do not use them and are perfectly happy with a signed DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin) https://developercertificate.org/
6,500,000 NOK is $734,246 or £546,715

Edit: top of the article had an incorrect amount.
It's a tautology that if someone makes more money, they will literally do something with it. The question is: who cares? In other words, would it be something meaningful, or no? Is anybody at that income level less "free" in any substantial sense because they have to pay a bit more in taxes? Again, I claim that for most people actually paying those tax rates, the answer is no, mostly because marginal propensity to consume decreases with increasing income. And, at that level of income, not having a few more bucks to invest just doesn't seem meaningful, either.

Let's hear some specifics. Name one specific thing someone at this level of income might do that extra income that meaningfully impacts their life. Your inability or refusal to do so so far seems to support my point here.

Here's my concrete example: if we added +13% to Jeff Bezos's accounts, do you really think that would change his life even a tiny bit? Would it change meaningfully even if we subtracted 13%? I'm just gonna say that's a no either way.
> yeah they're the developers they could always do that even without the password

Not really. Obviously facebook the company can always access your data. Weather or not an individual developer can do the same, which developers can do it, how they can do it, and under what level of supervision this would be is a design choice.

It is possible to design a system with very high level of security and ones with none too. As with any design considerations it has trade-offs. A super secure system might introduce dev and operational frictions which the company might deem unnacceptable. But even with that consideration the question is a lot more complicated than a simple “yeah they’re the developers”.
Presumably they mean "under a non-open license" (~"a commercial license") when they say "commercially".
Well, you either fail the tasks, batch them, or alter them all into another computer. What you choose depends on what problem you are solving.

Zoom bombing was a thing.

And it strongly indicated not just technical flaws, but a company and product that did not actually care about their users’ privacy.

It’s not the allocation that necessarily kills you, it’s the garbage collection.

This could be a good thing, like for people with hyperkalemia and hypernatremia. Distilled water is usually given to patients with hypernatremia.

It is always best to know your body chemistry before listing to such blanket advice. (I suffer mild hyperkalemia and hypernatremia which is why I know this.)

I did the Georgia Tech OMSCS, and this was similar to my study strategy.

I'd watch the lecture videos 4 times total:

- Once at normal speed, without taking notes.

- Once at 1.5 or 2x speed (depending on lecturer) to take notes.

- Then I'd do a 2x speed run of all of the content before midterms and finals.

I felt like it worked really well, and even years later I feel I've retained a ton of what I learned.
Anthony Bourdain's Diaries
You're forgetting that those non-Qataris are almost all migrant workers, so the population is extremely skewed towards relatively healthy 20-50 year old men. Also, people aren't just worried about directly work related deaths, but about bad living conditions in general.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Qatar
No, you are reading the worst possible interpretation into what I said.

You can minimize expenses by having a reasonable home and paying it off early. You can then still sell and upgrade to nicer homes as real estate markets grow. You also should buy items that will last a lifetime. Make sure your home is energy-efficient. Learn to DIY repairs.

You buy good clothes because they last longer. You buy top-of-the-line computers and phones because they'll give you more years before needing to upgrade again. You buy good food to stay healthy and reduce health care costs. You spend your nest eggs when inflation rises because those energy-saving improvements to my home will cost thousands today, but save even more thousands over the next 20 years.

Reducing expenses doesn't mean not spending money. It means looking deeply at the value your spending brings to your life, and doing whatever will actually reduce long-term lifetime spending.
Lots of housing in Germany is well-insulated enough that AC is not needed. This argument seems dubious.
Why is fast fashion bad but slow or regular fashion not?

Fashion is valuing things based on some definition or perception of popularity. It's chasing the dragon.
Average goals per game has been 2.6 - 2.7 since 1962. Highest was 1954 with 5.38.

10 goals has never been an average, to reach that, the goals should be twice the size at least.

I don't thing the size of the goal or people getting taller / faster is the reason we don't see many scoring. A big problem for me is the amount of downtime and the amount of foulplaying. Schwalbes are a real skill. Players fall to the ground way too quickly.

Smaller field would make things more interesting.

>I don’t think I have suffered from the speed at which material covers a subject since I left school. [...] Thinking about it more often than not I wish I could actually go slower rather than faster. I’m curious about how the experience of others commenters differ here

For many listeners, they suffer from speakers talking too slowly which causes them to tune out and become disengaged. This handicaps learning instead of enhances it.

A lot of people can read text at ~200 to 300 wpm. Since many speakers talk at ~100 wpm, accelerating videos to 2x or more just gets the audio in the same ~200 wpm range.
I dont know what to think about migrant death rates. The rublings seem to be worrisome, but proof seems to be elusive.

Then one is forced to objectively look at the facts, and things get murkier:

- Migrants are willing to co tinue yo travel despite the negative press
- Migrant home countries are never in the news lodging official protests or expressing serious concern.
- In fact, home countries seem to do absolutely nothing to curb whatever alleged excesses could be happening.

Maybe people are focused on the wrong problem. If death rates are not scandalous or even serious (outside of higher death rates consistent with industrial occupations deemed as hazardous) what seems to be unquestioned is Qatar's abuses in imprisonment of any person, migrant or not.

I'd like to hear more about cases like this article.

I've been to the last 5 world cups. I am seriously considering boycotting visiting because of articles like this one. Good journalistic work.

Closing: Regarding someone's awful experience in school with Association Football abuse. Im sorry this happened to you. As a parent of several kids that constantly play "soccer" in every room of our house, i can tell you the sport brings immense joy to many, including little ones.

As a parent, thank you for reminding me to stay alert about abuses at school masquerading as PE.
