Such a lawsuit would probably be immediately thrown out.

If someone promises you something in exchange for something else (even something intangible), you have a legal claim against them. If someone promises you something for free, you are not entitled to it.

For a lawsuit like this to work, the plaintiffs would have to show that they paid something for the “free for life” service. Maybe they could argue that they paid with user data or something along those lines, but it’s a pretty tenuous argument and not one a judge is likely to go along with.
Prior to reading Brian Greene’s The Elegant Universe, I was unfamiliar with the details, but under the assumption that the string theory is sound. Greene is one of its chief popularizers (as well as a minor researcher), and writes with great clarity on the topic. I enjoyed the book.

Yet I ended up becoming agnostic on the string theory after reading it. There seem to be some genuine contributions to mathematics, but those are side products. The theory has yet to make any correct predictions regarding physics and our understanding of the universe, and it is likely completely unfalsifiable.

To this layman, a lot of it seem like a bunch of extraordinarily smart people twisting their minds (and our conception of the universe) into a pretzel attempting to make post hoc explanations of existing phenomena.

Ask HN: Where to find excellent software examples?
I am interested in finding open source examples of great software. For example currently I would like to see a CRUD app, written in TypeScript and designed with DDD. Is there such a site which indexes great projects from an engineering perspective?
> I view all "free for life" promotions like this.

Indeed. On Facebook, I kept seeing ads for some cloud computer provider offering a "for life" VM for $100. I'm like, first off, that's going to be a very low-end VM. Second, "for life" is probably going to end in <5 years when they discover how much that actually costs them, or the company bombs.

> Absolutely cost them more than the savings they thought they were gaining (probably cost them more than their savings in just the first month).

How is it costing them money if they already got your $400 and aren't paying anything monthly? If anything, keeping you around was costing them money.

The only thing they're losing is lost sales from negative word-of-mouth, but that's very hard to quantify.
My point is if you feel what FOH staff take home is a travisty, then you should be apaplectic with rage when you look towards the back of house. I don't see that often, it's mostly complaints about bartender and waitstaff earnings.

Heh. I once interviewed for an internal SW position that dealt with fab automation. I openly told them in the interview that I knew about their work culture and that was of great concern to me.

Interviewer: I know what you mean, and I promise the org has been working to improve the conditions. It's not as bad as it was.

Me: Great! However, for me the comparison isn't the "old you" but the rest of Intel.

<Back and forth>

Interviewer: Look, you're not going to get a 40 hour/week job anywhere in the SW industry!

Me: Umm... All my SW engineer roles at Intel were 40 hour/week jobs. I haven't worked on weekends in years. <Proceed to list friends at big name SW companies who also don't work more than 40 hours/week>

Interviewer: OK. We normally interview people straight out of college who don't know any better.

Needless to say, I didn't take that job.

This absolutely depends on local CPS, and they have wide authority within their lane. As they should, considering their mission and the interactions and choices they have to make in bad cases.

But it does mean that a lot is subject to opinion. And once you're on the radar, how do you get off? How do you prove you're a good, safe, responsible parent when the judging worker believes otherwise and has some authority to make that fact?

No, no, no. Didn't you read the rest of this thread! This was all part of a well coordinated, thought out, grand conspiracy to place github.com as the de-facto git repository. Not some late night, quick turnaround, "hey, this would be cool" project created by two people for lulz. After all, it would be impossible to create an effective URL shortener with one developer and a late night with a case of beer (no...don't look at me, it took me a day and a half).

Get with the narrative!
A large fraction of computer games are mostly still "desktop apps".

Lots of single person indie success stories there, such as "Papers please" or "Stardew valley".

Seminal example in this genre is probably Minecraft (which of course expanded to a team before acquisition).
Also in the case of Wifi/Bluetooth it seems like FCC regulations would make having open firmware difficult due to the fact that it would make it easier to allow end users to broadcast on arbitrary frequencies. This way they have deniability.

...That said, not a subject matter expert so take this with a grain of rock salt.
Agreed - I have a personal project that needs a GUI. Still debating which to use but right now GTK4 is likely my top pick due it's binding maturity. Having a codebase to look at, esp. one that has obviously taken great care in it's design, is extremely valuable.
Humid, yes. Excessively so? Not compared to a lot of other places in America. Houston. Louisiana. Florida. Coastal Carolinas. I guess it depends on how well your particular body handles humidity.

Cincinnati has fairly mild winters compared with the rest of Ohio. A meteorologist there explained it to me once. I think something about being in a valley, and the rivers (Ohio and Little Miami) moderate things a bit.

He said in weather circles, it's sometimes called "the banana belt of Ohio."

Why should they sell ads for $50 if companies are buying ads for $500? Recruiters charge $15000 for a single hire, so a company could buy 10 ads for $500 and it would still be cheaper than going through a recruiter.
Since you've been looking into it, how are words with multiple of the same letters treated on Wordle. If there are two (or three) 'E' in the solution or the guess?
That’s true for any kind of advocacy though. What if decades of giving women equal participation in the labor market drives down some aspect of happiness? (Which it probably did by increasing the average household income to the disadvantage of people who prefer single-earner households [whether 1 or 2 adults].)

Gender equality (of opportunity) is still the right thing to advocate for.
If you read really closely you can see the semantic game. They're not making the "Free Forever" account not-free, they're terminating free accounts. So it was "free forever", where "forever" is implicitly defined as "as long as free accounts exist."

As a guy running a small time SaaS, I get needing to make money. Just don't do entirely misleading things like using the word "forever." They're now on record as being a company that doesn't keep its promises. Everyone should act accordingly.
Again, you're trying to educate me about Roosevelt, but I'm not making any contentions about Roosevelt being unworthy of prominent sculpture. The problem is this sculpture, which does not in fact depict Roosevelt's Amazon expedition.

A good way to make a case in favor of the Equestrian Teddy is to cite artistic analysis that precedes the controversy over the sculpture's removal, when it became a culture war football. That way, you're less likely to accidentally retcon the work into something it isn't.

The real issue is certification and so on. The people running small cellular networks tend to have necessary permissions or operate within certain limits.

For public, general usage baseband, it will need to be at least tamper evident and you won't be able to just run your own.

I'd personally be fine with auditable baseband (i.e. you can always verify what code it runs, then let's say compare to public code tree and build hashes), with possibly a signature scheme that would link builder and certifications. Then if you went to the trouble of proving you have the necessary qualifications and won't break shit, you could sign with your own certificate and take responsibility.

Makes sense, they can't compete with LinkedIn in direct hiring.

Stack overflow = dictionary for developers.
Very few would be visiting it with a job hunting mindset.

Recruiters/headhunters are predominantly on LinkedIn, they won't bother with other platforms. Company employer branding teams will use it though as long as the cost isn't as gouging as it was.
No, you have one Linux user who is now scrambling to get it to work or is using a device that will make it work. Your example sort of under cuts your argument, just imagine sending that email "I will not be attending our remote meetings due to what some may call a philosophical argument with Zoom, rest assured, I am in the right, and as soon as they see the light and correct their ways, I will start attending meetings again".

Instead, in frustration, they will reach for another device. They will use an old laptop, or a smartphone, something.
not to mention eye strain/doomhead.
Free markets are not about just the power to allocate, but also transparent knowledge in a decision. The labor purchaser almost always has an advantage over the labor provider in their transaction and don't actually represent a free market.

Even in the tech industry this is true. People were shocked the other day when they found out that their income data was being reported and sold by the big credit companies in America. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, they all share their employees income data with one another through 3rd parties. They have so much more knowledge than you or I and it represents a huge advantage for them when hiring.

I was thinking of English as a counter case when I wrote the comment:) Skimming the history section of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language#History , I don't think I would really describe anything before "Early Modern English" (1500-1700) as meaningfully the same language; if you took a modern English-speaker and gave them a sample of Middle English, they wouldn't be able to read it, and if you stuck them in a room with a speaker of ME neither would be able to understand what the other person was saying.

Although in fairness, it does now come down to a semantic argument about what counts as the same language, and I acknowledge that a reasonable person could disagree with my narrower view.
This is the same for most exchanges Ive used its really a hassle to change email..
Not to be pedantic, but I think 'laying' has a different etymology, namely this one (quote from the OED):

'lay, v.1 General sense: To cause to lie.

[OE. lęcgan = OFris. ledsa, lega, leia, OS. leggian (Du. leggen), OHG. lecken, legen (MHG., mod.G. legen), ON. legja (Sw. lägga, Da. lægge), Goth. (= OTeut.) lagjan, f. lag- ablaut-variant of OTeut. leg-: see lie v.'

OE = Old English, OFris.= Old Frisian etc.

Then again, it says you get a free 30-day trial for the enterprise version, so it's more like a shutdown in a month.
My most readily available `man awk` spit out 1235 lines of text. Its namesake physical book is even longer. It is a Turing-complete language. It can execute arbitrary system commands with `system()`.

I don't think it's reasonable to exclude Hyrum's law in this case. The existing users of ASDF aren't doing anything prohibited by the software. The new change being pushed by the ASDF maintainers breaks existing builds and will break more when they promote it from a warning to an error, as planned.

"Don't break userspace" is a solid guideline. The ASDF maintainers should come up with a less opinionated way to achieve their goals.
FCC doesn't prevent you from opening the firmware (now, trade secrets inside is another thing) - they just do not allow unlicensed devices i.e. you can't just build your own radio firmware and have it operate legally.

.. Now you have to think about how to aim the antennas. Presumably you can't just reorient the entire satellite, because its main job is to keep its ground-facing antennas aimed at the ground and its solar panels aimed at the sun. So you need to add a separate antenna pointing mechanism, with a fairly wide range of very accurate movement along multiple axes, so that all of the radio antennas can observe the same region of the sky simultaneously..

What constitutes nonmarket forces is mostly a matter of opinion.

Unions? Monopoly power? Government enforcing contracts? Government competing in the market? Natural disasters? Normal weather? Taxation? No taxation? Strong property rights? No property rights?

A "perfectly free market" is a meaningless phrase dressed up to sound like "frictionless in a vacuum". It exists for the purposes of cynical lobbying.
Why is that a problem? Bootstrapping is a privilege, just like raising any VC funding is, yet nobody is fighting to change the term for Venture Capital funded startups.

The meaning of which has been well established, both inside tech circles and outside, to mean starting a business without raising any outside capital.

Why do we want to suddenly stretch the meaning of bootstrap? The compelling story here would have been "how we created a SaaS business with 1M ARR with only seed funding", and I'd still have read it. That is something worth being proud of, why is bootstrap better?

How has average household paid labor hours changed in the last 100 years in the US? I suspect it’s gone up (and substantially).

I think this is a good change overall based on the underlying driver of increasing equality, but it’s far from a Pareto improvement.

All one- and two-digit numbers that look prime are prime, except 91.

This assumes that you can easily identify
- multiples of 2 and 5 (by their last digit)
- multiples of 3 (the sum of their digits is divisible by 3)
- multiples of 11 (for two-digit ones, they have both digits the same: 11, 22, 33, ..., 99)
- squares

So the first number that looks prime but isn't is the product of the two smallest primes that aren't "easy", which is 7*13 = 91.
On the Ivermectin front, I think it's too soon to call it bunk science. There's at least enough plausibility for the NIH and major research hospitals in the US to be currently running a large 15,000 patient study on its efficacy.

I get the need to make me pay for the services (and I'm happy to pay if it's worth it), but why the downgrading of services after paying for things. There are various little tick boxes in their comparison table where the "legacy" accounts have a feature that "basic" doesn't have, but are present in standard (I'm looking at you noise cancellation in google meet).

Also, why the heck hasn't google solved the "GSuite users can't use this service" problem yet? I've been on GSuite since the beginning, and now I actively avoid google services because I'm sure they won't work with my google account.

I'll most likely end up paying the fee, but why can't they just be a little nicer about it? Google Homespaces would be awesome, parental controls, mailboxes, custom domains, shared calendars, and I'd probably pay a pretty penny for it too.

We called out "We're continuing to invest in open source firmware development, with the goal of replacing other proprietary firmware we're currently stuck with in the future too." in the blog post. Coreboot is something we're very interested in and have done experimentation around. We went with an off-the-shelf proprietary BIOS/UEFI to derisk launching the Framework Laptop on time and satisfying the core goals on it (getting a high-performance, thin, light laptop into the world that is fully repairable and upgradeable), but an open BIOS/UEFI solution is absolutely in line with our philosophy.
