Showing what % goes to the various parties would be nice, although that can get even more complicated if you break out things like royalty payments for sampled music or individual band member portions. And without some kind of enforcement mechanism some people will just lie about it while it might be hard to get anyone to sign up if there is a penatly for incorrect information, unless it is an optional thing. Also I noticed the indiehd FAQ mentioning transfer fees can eat up most or all of a payment when sending small amounts of money, so the amount received also depends on how much they make in any particular period. I also once had a small label ignore or forget about Bandcamp for maybe a year and a half after I ordered a CD from them, I'm guessing some kind of email issue that caused them to not receive notifications, but any information that could change is unlikely to be kept up to date (as always :/). Direct payments or at least accounting sounds like a good feature, there do unfortunatly seem to always be people trying to rip off the people doing the actual work (I've heard of that being a significant issue in the game industry as well).

Good luck if you decide to work more on it!

China is essentially pacifist. And it’s not just their politics; it’s how Chinese - the actual people - feel. Invading anyone just isn’t their thing.

So, they are quite unhappy with Russia’s invasion, but they can’t join US sanctions, because US. Instead they’ll probably sanction Russia silently, and then buy out Russian industry for peanuts.

And people without experience - how will they get jobs? I feel our industry already does too much of this - asking for 5 years experience with a specific technology. I’d like to push back against that.

Fwiw I’m not entirely unbiased. I am a person with minimal experience and no relevant degree who got a job by preparing hard for interviews. I’m happy I wasn’t filtered out by “10 years of relevant experience and a relevant degree”.

It sounds like I have to return the $100k, plus some percentage of equity (in lieu of interest). If so, this sounds like an option for angels to take a position in a YC-backed company, and it would be friendly towards founders to label this product as equity financing and describe how the equity percentage is calculated.

> Suddenly because a founder is leaving you expect them to start turning a profit again?

No, it's more a question of whether you think the company will ever turn a profit. That's probably the point of contention over how much the shares are worth: do you think Elementary OS will ever financially support a team? If not then you probably lean closer towards a 0 dollar valuation (or in this event 26k). If you do then you probably lean closer to a 100k valuation.
I think Freudian psychological ideas still have a lot of hold on people, even though in general his theories are generally not taken seriously these days. Under Freud, your emotions are almost like physical substances: you can have “too much” of them, and need to release them. “Releasing” your anger literally removes it from your body in Freudian psychology. I believe this (incorrectly) makes a lot of intuitive sense to people, as it is difficult to maintain a state of full-fledged rage and yelling. ie, you will calm down and the emotion will pass. This is more akin to a biological state: you cannot maintain any feeling indefinitely. But, I do not believe that this means that someone is releasing the emotion in the Freudian sense of the word. In practice, if you “release” your anger in this way often you are simply practicing feeling angry. In other words, you are training your mind to focus on this emotional state, and are therefore most likely increasing the amount of anger you have. You cannot “vent” all this anger because it is not a discrete substance that you can run out of. Instead, you’re behaviorally training yourself to experience anger more often: the opposite what was intended.

To the extent that people can “keep emotions bottled up inside,” I believe this simply means just not addressing a point of contention which makes you angry. The point is not to “release” the anger, but to address this issue which is causing the anger. If you’re not addressing it (either by preventing it or coming to peace with it) then you will keep experiencing the point of contention. In that narrow and non-Freudian sense, you are keeping your anger “bottled up.” But, you cannot just “release” your anger: you must address it. Really, there is no releasing anger; there is merely expressing it.

I... I think I agree. Their tacit collusion with GNOMEs harmful policy push that started ~2 years ago burned a lot of goodwill, and the lack of meaningful changes started to go far beyond whay you'd expect for a minimalist operating system. At this point, I think they're in the same delusional mindset as the GNOME foundation, eg.: "our users don't know what's best for them!"

It's very frustrating to watch desktop Linux head down this path, and it's started to severely limit the amount of software I can comfortably use on my desktop. Unless sonething changes, I seriously worry for the future of similar Linux projects that fight for control and refuse to collaborate meaningfully.

elementary is already moving in the right direction by trying to combine flatpak and AppCenter (=payments) -> https://blog.elementary.io/elementary-appcenter-flatpak/

From there it's not a huge jump to allow flatpaks that are closed source and/or not written with GTK, certainly more realistic than with non-sandboxed DEBs.

But as a former elementary user and micro-contributor, I also think that the App Store model has been a disaster for elementary OS. It means that developers who are perfectly capable of fixing the buggy stock apps are incentivized to instead start their own app and (fail to, presumably) get paid for it. Random example from a very prolific developer in the golden age of eOS 5:

https://appcenter.elementary.io/com.github.artemanufrij.play...

Now this app has been abandoned, and instead of taking over this developer's personal app, the next person who wants to write a music player will start another one. And so on.
Looking into the .money GTLD more, it seems Donuts (Outer McCook LLC, based in the US) is the owner of it, which seems to have been solely created just to own various GTLD. They currently have the largest portfolio of GTLDs (242) which seems to continue to expand.

Not sure how I feel about one company sweeping up so many GTLDs, but that's beside the point. The business seems serious, so not sure what you have against the .money GTLD? Is it a principle thing or something else?

> For me one of those would be to deny someone food and water from my own surplus.

That attitude puts you in an abusive relationship. Reminds me how my brother would ask me for money to pay for his next car loan installment, and when I would help him, he would spend his money on entertainment.

Or like in situational jokes in comedies: two guys order a beer, guy A drinks a beer. Guy B wants to drink a beer, but is stopped by guy A: "this is mine beer, yours was the one I already drunk".

In other words, Russia has the resources to feed its people. But if Russia decides to spend the resources on building nuclear warheads, we shouldn't help its citizens with food.

And yes, I'm aware it's less about giving the food for free and more about selling it. But there are other resources than money: if Russia is unable to secure food for itself, this is because the government has diverted attention (being another resource) to something else like military efforts.

We're not sanctioning a small, heavily populated island. To the contrary. Russians have a lot of time to prepare food reserves.

I just searched for "Basecamp Diversity Program" and this was the first thing that popped up. I am not inside of this community, but I've been a Rails user for literally hundreds of years. (And every year it seems like we're hearing again about how the community is really drama-free, from now on, no-takebacks...)

The context for me is that the employees at Basecamp apparently cared more about a company-wide diversity and inclusion program than the founders, and when rubber met road (and the severance packages came out) they were willing to quit over it. Then, 8 or 9 months later, DHH publicly took both sides on a divisive issue, and everyone who was barely involved in the conversation (myself included) thought "hey, this must be the driver for $currentDrama."

When really, it seems to have been DHH driving the drama all along. I mean, just look at the No RailsConf blog post. I mean really critically look at it. What small, narrow "opportunity for drama" was in this simple e-mail from the program committee, and yet here we are again, discussing it on a front-page HN post.

DHH did that.

And I'm guessing that RubyCentral program committee decided there was practically zero chance that DHH would not take his opportunity on stage to say something provocative or divisive, but I'm not on the program committee so really this is where my actual real effective insight level approaches the zero limit.

I'm not taking sides, but I hate the perception that Ruby community is always full of drama. Now I'm hoping that geo-political and pandemic issues can subside for long enough to go to RailsConf, looking forward to a different keynote speaker, (and I'm sure there will be absolutely no drama of any kind!)

Netherlands donations would be closer to 9000 times Chinese donations per capita.

Netherlands donated more than 100 million. China is 1,4 billion people, not 1 billion and the donated amount is 800 k. Not 1 million. Netherlands is 17,3 million people, not 20 million.

Additionally, Netherlands donated euros, not dollars.

Then you can see that any notion of China as a strong ally is too ridiculous to even consider.
>Russia surprised China with its invasion timing & planning, in particular the mismanagement that turned this from a regional thing into a major international incident

It seems like China was caught off guard by the scale, like many other people. Possibly even most of the Russian government.

The assumption by almost everyone was that Russia would recognize the separatist regions that were already essentially owned by Russia. But instead they dropped paratroopers and sent tanks straight to the capital of a European country with 45 million people.
To be fair, these steps can go wrong when the project doesn't make clear that there are a lot of implicit dependencies for the configure step to even work (and then make can sometimes break if those implicit dependencies aren't the expected version).

But to your point, there are a lot of projects for which those steps work just fine.

> The M1 Ultra is an impressive part, but the $4K price of entry is steep.

Some estimations of M1 Max and M1 Ultra price:

M1 MAX + 64 GB RAM + 1 TB SSD is $2600

M1 Ultra with 48 GPU cores + 64 GB RAM + 1 TB SSD is $4000

M1 Ultra with 64 GPU cores + 64 GB RAM + 1 TB SSD is $5000

So Apple puts a hefty price on its M1 Ultra CPU. You have to pay $1400 on top of M1 MAX price to get it and $2400 to get the best one.

I wonder if it's greed or production issues. Silicone is cheap.
My mental image of Tesla was that it was supply constrained. This argument probably doesn't apply if this has changed. However, if the assumptions hold, then traditionally middlemen arbitrage prices upwards in times of scarcity.

Or perhaps I'm just bitter about the GPU shortages, who knows.

This line of discussion is one of those "Goddamnit HN" types of things, not dissimilar from the infamous Dropbox / rsync post of old.

When one comes along and says "Oh, just do X and you'll succeed because that is what I did." - THAT is survivor bias.

When one comes along and discusses what happened to them, how it affected them, motivated them, pressed them to change their behavior and outlook which lead to their hockey-stick sales graph... that isn't unto itself survivorship bias. Catastrophic events absolutely have a way of causing many folks to "buckle down" and "get to brass tacks" instead of fucking around with CSS and starting on that Angular to React to Vue rewrite.

Personally, I'm sort-of in that boat in that I'm solo-founding a document signing software (pursuing a GitLab model, the only real market differentiator to this point). Well, I am doing this as a side-venture. There's no need to make it work, I don't have to hustle, I can say "Ya know what, lemme shave that yak and add in some nice test coverage charts." In doing that, I do what I'm good at and what makes me comfortable - software. I'm an engineer. It also leads to me not doing important things like marketing... actually getting my work out in front of my audience, whatever it is.

Of course, I can "justify" this all to myself because as much as I would love this to take off and grant me my "freedom" (which with my remote, uber flexible, well paying job isn't really all that free anyway) I'm not in dire straits. I have to catch myself and force myself to stay on track.

If someone reads this post and is able to use that to reflect on their own position, that's not only NOT survivorship bias but a really good thing.
