Many companies seem to be able to benefit in various ways from contributing to open source / free software.

Examples:
- Chromium and Android obviously benefits Google as it makes it easier to ensure adds get through
- Also, they limit the ability of Apple/Microsoft to control those revenue streams in their walled gardens
- Hardware and software vendors benefit from making sure Linux works well with their products
- Making TensorFlow free helps build a community that in turn makes hiring easier.
- Contributing to Torch may protect against a monopoly
- Contributing to other R or Python machine learning tools may help limit the power of companies like SAS or IBM/SPSS
- Similarly, contributions to Postgres/Mongo etc wrestles power away from Oracle, MS (MSSQL) and IBM (DB2).
- More of the same: Proton vs DirectX, OpenCL vs Cuda, FidelityFX vs DLSS. When a competitor tries to establish a standard that is either paid for or limited or proprietary in some other way, providing or contributing to open alternatives may be easier to do than to provide a direct proprietary competitor.
- DataBricks founders benefit from being part of the creation of Spark, and can get paid for adding further value.

Many of the above are cases where large to huge corporations use their power to disrupt competitors by providing free alternatives in areas where the has some market dominance. Other contributions assist in delivering a basic product for free while getting paid for products that add value on top.

The argument in this thread is that you can’t, and you agreed to the other License Agreement. See the root comment, which thinks that this code is not under the MIT license.
It looks like the input word is using lodsd instruction, loading a 4 byte word, instead of a ptr increment, which could cause a 3 byte oob read if the last byte was at address 1.

I believe this is used in millions of builds, since it's been around for 20 years and Windows has a culture of winzip style software not packaged by Microsoft, but a lone programmer trying to get by with donations.

Do you have a specific exploit description? Mark Adler can remove or mark it unsafe on the github repo given a reason.
I indeed meant £80k, but my argument is more around the purchasing power and lifestyle the money will give you. The currency doesn't really matter in that context as everything you buy will also be in pounds and the unit prices for most things (except specific industries like healthcare) don't seem that different and property prices are also through the roof.

Taxes also seem extremely high. I'm not sure of the situation in the US but 80k£ here already lands you in upper end of the tax brackets despite the rent on a decent 1-bedroom Central London apartment being ~50% of your monthly take home.
For one, UK employers would pay an additional £10k in Employers National Insurance on an £80k salary. https://listentotaxman.com/?year=2021&taxregion=uk&age=0&tim...

I have a google sheet where I keep track of each fund I’ve bought and sold. From there I added a column with gain/loss for each tax lot with remaining shares, and a script that runs once a day to email me if there’s an opportunity for tax loss harvesting. It works pretty well.

I like the idea of rebalance opportunity notifications, but it’s harder to get retirement funds into a google sheet with all the automatic contributions that happen…
I know the difference, why it's implicitly assumed to be better is what eludes me.

In my experience, describing the end result in a way the program understands is sometimes much harder than telling the program "do this".

Don't get me wrong I think the longevity of SQL shows that declarative can be the right way. However I think there's a logical leap with declarative = better.
If the board layout permits it, you can inspect the outside balls around the perimeter- if they are fine, the inside ones will most likely be fine as well.
Sometimes, a small piece of front-surface mirror can be used to inspect the sides of the chip obscured by taller components.

Even PCBA companies usually just place and reflow the chip and may only use x-ray to validate the initial build- and then rely on process consistance + functional testing at the end of line.

According to a random source, in 1991 some 44% of the world population worked in agriculture, and 28% did in 2018. That's 16% of the world that doesn't have to do anything to ensure the 'basic level' of food resources. I'm sure other resources have seen a (smaller) drop. We could have 20 hour workweeks in the 2000's like predicted in early 1900's, 'we' just didn't 'chose' to do so. That or retirement at 45 instead of 65.

Speaking for London, if you would like to have £180K+ FAANG or Hedge Funds / Trading is your only option and unfortunately they ask leetcode questions. Some of them go crazy and ask hard, some like Facebook ask easy / mid but want you to be quickly come up with the answer.

There are eng offices of soon to be IPO'd startups such as Stripe or Intercom in London, those don't ask something you don't do in your day to day job, however comp at this stage would be base + maybe bonus + stock options. You can never know when that stock option will turn into something, so in a way it's even worse than lottery, at least in lottery you know the date to check if you get rich or not.

There have been few IPOs from London startups like Deliveroo, but I would say they perform pretty badly and things are not going well for people who relied on the return from there.

So, I would say Yes to this. Unfortunately.
Very good examples. I would put SQL in the "good" column for example. I'm not saying declarative = bad either, just that I don't see the causation.

These permissions on Android are incredible, how did it even get to the Play store?

For those who want a tldr:

The android app for olympics allows the developers to get all your contacts, listen to your microphone, wifi & bluetooth device connections, location, files.
It starts at startup, can hide and reorder itself, can REMOTELY download files and trigger all kinds of tracking and spoofing.

Basically, anyone who installs this app on their device will throw away all the privacy not just while the app is installed, but also possibly long-term since with the amount of permissions, you cannot be sure it won't leave a remotely downloaded trojan horse in your device after dumping all your files, contacts and listening to your conversations. From controlling the narrative to spying on other teams and coaches, anything goes with this one.

And it's not just that this permission list is batshit insane (remember that batman scene with all the phone data giving him a full 3D image of the city? that level of batshit insane) - its insane Google is allowing this to be published.

> You're not fact-checking and trying to be objective

What fact-checking have I missed? In what way do you even begin to imagine that this discussion can be objective?

> or a free market economy to operate

I wrote Capitalism, not a "free-market economy" which is a entirely theoretical concept that can never exist in practice. Only Capitalism and its concentration and wealth and power can actually exists.

> Like I said, people having bad options doesn't make the situation "authoritarian"

The CEO of the company is the authoritarian ruler of that company, that's pretty obvious? Yes, if you're privileged, you may be able to switch to another authoritarian instead. If you want to use another word for that relationship, I'm fine with it, the word isn't the important point here. But it's lack of freedom and democracy in the economic sphere and thus under Capitalism.

> according to your crude socialist narrative is ANY ONE who has been successful

That doesn't sound very objective.

> Like I said, people needing to pick one of the several difficult options available to them, in order to earn enough to eat is, as Frédéric Bastiat wrote 170 years, the nature of reality, that exists with or without authoritarianism:

No, it's not "the nature of reality". Other societies throughout human history didn't require selling your freedom most of your life. So that's objectively false. These are systematic conditions intentionally created by humans to the primary benefit of a subset of them.

> It's that the person providing the "less worse option" is not doing anything to worsen the other options available to the person they are making their offer to.

But they are? If they support the concentration of wealth and capital into the few, making it exclusive use to them, forces others to accept their offer.

> and it's irresponsible for you to not consider the harm to an innocent party that is done when you make a wrongful accusation, and critically analyze the validity of the accusation, before you make it.

What? What are the harm, innocent party, wrongful accusation supposed to be here?
It seems to me Youtube could solve the problem by providing advertisers fine-grained controls.

I remember an earlier discussion on HN about Youtube demonetizing other content - videos about guns, I think. My thought then and now is that there are many advertisers on Youtube who would like their ad to run on "ForgottenWeapons shoots a pre-WWII anti-tank rifle" and many (probably not with a lot of overlap) who would like to advertise on "SexyCyborg builds a sexy mannequin". Large, conservative brands probably wouldn't, but Youtube is leaving money on the table if it caters exclusively to those.
Clearly not nearly to the same level since not only Ronaldo's videos are not demonetized, he's in the actual ads !

> Marginal reduction in transmission can mean the difference in ending a pandemic or dragging it out for another year or two.

Sure, it’s great that we have the vaccines to do so. We should be focusing on making them available to everyone on earth rather than forcing them down the throats of those who don’t want them to get to the fastest “end.”

> And you probably don't remember ever being required to show vaccination status to get into a stadium or restaurant in your lifetime because you hadn't previously lived through a pandemic.

Fair enough. My reply was in response to a status quo argument, but indeed this pandemic hasn’t been just that. In which case I think you have to assess the dangers to those who have been vaccinated, which is not much. Indeed with omicron the risk isn’t very high for a large portion of the population vaccinated or not. And the vaccines are available to anyone who wants to reduce their risk, thus the mandates make little sense.

> Most of the listeners hearing the unfactual, misleading and false COVID information on SPOTIFY are 24 years old, impressionable and easy to swing to the wrong side of the truth.

> These young people believe SPOTIFY would never present grossly unfactual information.

> They unfortunately are wrong. I knew I had to try to point that out.

I believe the crux of the thing lies here, in that second paragraph.

60 years old are the people who believes in TV networks, radios stations and podcasts.

24 years old grew up used to the the fact that “on the internet, nobody knows you are a dog”. Meaning that they know that anyone can say anything on the internet and have a YouTube channel about that, a podcast about that. And that podcast or YouTube channel can look just as a TV news show or a mainstream radio show.

Meaning that they know for a fact that a podcast or a YouTube channel is just someone’s ideas.

That realization actually when further and 24 years old actually understand that a TV show and a radio show also are someone’s ideas, distorted by the need to please advertisers and people who think some things cannot be shown on TV (or the radio).

It’s the 60 years old people that failed to understand those things. They are stuck in the mindset where things shown on a screen (or broadcast in audio) are true and mainstream (as in everyone believed in them).

And they became prey to people (24 years old) who wanted to sell things, win elections or convert them into their cults (ideologies).

So, 60 years old think Spotify should ban joe Rohan. 24 yearly old just don’t listen to it if they don’t like those ideas.

60 years old want to ban some ideas from the world, because they fear that every broadcast idea is true, therefore if those strange and fringe ideas as broadcast, they fear they will become true.

Friends, the earth was moved just below your feet and you didn’t realized that people have always been believing in strange ideas, they just have been restricted out of the TV and radio.

Now that anyone and everyone has its own tv show and radio station, those strange ideas are easily accessible to anyone.

As soon as today’s 24 years old become the world’s 60 years old and the old mindset is gone, things will come back to normal. Meaning: Joe Rogans guests can think whatever they want, I don’t care.
You're saying that even if you didn't graduate from a top school, you don't have significant experience, or you're older, they'll hire you if you do really well on the puzzle stuff? That's pretty great, probably why those companies are way more ethnically diverse than the news organizations that constantly criticize them for not being ethnically diverse (https://oonwoye.com/2020/07/31/tech-journalism-is-less-diver...).

I totally agree. I feel like as information workers we especially feel the pain of memory. I know mine has been more strained since I've grown older, and I'm just looking for apps to help offload it. I'll add that I think that the working memory part gets hurt on a day-to-day thing, because multitasking, tabs, and the sheer amount of "stuff" hurts my ability. I think most apps do a pretty good job at long-term memory, but there's still some problems with retrieval, and I just "have to learn" the best way of finding that doc I wrote where I described process X. Probably with better NLP things will get better, but they're not there yet.

*Slight plug. I built a side project that tries to get at the early stage of the "working memory" part. I do a lot of short-term remembering during the day - taking calls, reading docs, or flipping between tabs. I made this chrome extension that adds notepad in your tab, so you can toggle, make scratch notes, toggle off, before you commit stuff to your notion/google doc/etc.
