This analysis seems to be attacking a strawman "the economic recession caused housing to drop, not the other way around". I mean there were multiple, interconnected factors including lax lending standards, anticipation of ever increasing housing prices, overbuilding in some locations. It's pretty clear none of them were responsible on their own.

And the fact that they use Canada as an example of a country "that never saw a housing crash" is kind of funny considering Canada median national housing prices is almost double that of the US now.

I would agree that the US is likely not in a bubble now, but Canada sure as hell is.
That chart of vacancies is an oversimplification. It's too smoothed. For example the vacancies should have a breakdown into per-month bands. Rentals of not-direct 'apartment' style units should be counted in some other category of profiteering.

Each https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_statistical_area in the US should have a graph per major downtown, for suburbs within a given rush hour commute distance (1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hour) and then each state for outlying areas (anything outside of another graph).

Oakland also suffers from a massive supply shortage and working there carries a high risk premium, so it’s not surprising that they have to offer higher salaries to experienced law enforcement officers. Basic law of economics still holds.

It would probably be more accurate to call it a subprime mortgage bubble.

Those were the assets that were significantly over-priced. Or one could argue that in '07 they were correctly priced given the questionable assumption that home values would only increase.

Home values themselves were high but definitely not in bubble territory. It was the derivatives that amplified those high home values. Specifically mortgages that couldn't be paid unless home values continued to increase. That kind of asset is very bubbly, an asset that only has value under a certain transient conditions, and the rating agencies marked them as relatively safe.

You may feel it's very small delay, but if you batch edit your songs often (which I do) it's actually pretty noticeable. Try to select 10 tracks and update the album name and feel the difference.

Most of time wasted on remuxing the file comes from re-writing the whole thing on your hard disk, which is more noticable if you save your songs on HDD.

Is it really that bad? No. But it's nice to have some padding.

Same goes to MP3s and especially FLACs (which is even more noticeable because file size is much larger). Some of the digital distributors for hi-res (hi resolution) music do use "flatten" files, and it's quite annoying to edit them.

Can the OSI stop trying justify their existence by finding any excuse to call out "non-osi approved" every chance they get.

Only lawyers in corporations care about that distinction and I hate them more and more the more they try to authority signal using it.

All of these excessive callouts to "OSI approved" or "Not OSI Approved" in every article like they are the gatekeepers to rather or not licenses can be called open source.

Sorry, but you can't name your non-profit after a dictionary word or common usage phrase that existed before you even existed then become the all seeing gatekeeper over what qualifies for those terms.

Substack definitely gets a lot of things right and makes it easy to monetize a blog, but writing off other sources of content because

> five seconds versus one second to sign up for a blog is a big difference.

comes across as rather self-centered. When I write, I sometimes add short snippets of code and interactivity that are essentially impossible on Substack. Switching over would do a disservice to my creative expression. https://danluu.com/ is a great example of content that transcends the medium because the target audience sees the creative expression shine through.

After all, if your content is really good, the medium shouldn't matter that much.
i worked for a startup with a promising product in a lucrative niche but rather than invest in their unique value propositions and use that as a sales ratchet they instead pursued a sales strategy of "outsourced IT" at below cost. engineering time was devoured by integration issues and custom work for customers that were paying far less than the cost of the custom work

If the thoughts have any interaction at all between each other, we would be able to leverage that to understand those higher-level thoughts to the degree that they affect the ones on our level. As an analogy, we can project an N dimensional object onto N! planes and get a complete, but not intuitive, description of what it is.

Maybe they know the exact value of Chaitin's constant, but at least we know its properties.

> This echoes of the kind of v3 fuckery Linus Torvalds complained about in his GPLv3 objection recorded at DebConf '14.

I feel like this is another topic. What Linus is criticizing in the part you cite is the "or later" mechanism, where as a licensee you can take some program licensed under "License version N or later" and release a modification under "version N+1 only", preventing the original authors to take back the modifications. I understand (and sympathize with) the intent of the "or later" mechanism, and why Linus does not like it (and agree with him). He also thinks the FSF wrongly took advantage of the "or later" clause by releasing a new version of the GPL that is not in the same spirit and he thinks that this is sneaky. One can agree or not.

This "or later" mechanism seems like it would hold in court, contrary to the discussed clause (deemed invalid here) that prevents an author from adding a restrictive clause next to the base license. Hindsight is 20/20, but it does seem like the authors of the AGPL could have anticipated this court decision [that author have all the rights to impose all further restrictions they want withing copyright laws and license authors cannot do anything about it] and don't put this clause, or just clearly write that licensees cannot add further restrictions to the original license.

I would not put the two points in the same bag.
I don't think that's really the reason for Electron's popularity. While GTK and Qt are cross-platform, my (limited, to be fair) experience with building for multiple platforms was that it was a huge pain in the ass, and Windows and macOS platform integration often felt clunky and out of place.

The big draw for Electron is that we have way way way more web developers out there these days than native-code desktop UI developers, so it's easy to leverage those people and get results fairly quickly, even if the resulting apps don't really conform to any desktop's standard look-and-feel (which I guess avoids the uncanny valley effect of cross-platform toolkits that try to be native, but fail in subtle and not-so-subtle ways). People can even just (sorta) repackage their existing webapp, and end up with more or less a single code base for all desktop platforms + web.

I do agree with you that most of the desktop platforms are pretty annoying to develop for if you want a solid, stable base, but I don't think that's the prevailing reason for Electron's uptake.

Very surprised by all the comments here critical of the OSI.
Even if Neo4j was correct by the court's interpretation (which I agree with), it seems clear that they were indeed "open-washing" as the article says.

It's changed now but it used to say on the Neo4j website "the Neo4j Enterprise Edition is dual licensed under Neo4j commercial license as well as under the free Affero General Public License (AGPL) v3" (neo4j.com/open-source-project on web.archive.org). Obviously this is misleading (because it is not in fact free).

I think this is a big problem. Advertising products as open-source can drive adoption, but it should not come at the cost of diluting the meaning of the term itself.
Looks very nice, and the price point looks perfect. Of course I only use open source software, so I take this as a challenge to reimplement these features in emacs.

Even assuming that the process being described works as advertised, the result is in no way, shape, or form "tamper-proof". At best, it builds software that is "tamper-evident".

A tamper-proof solution would produce software that somehow magically foils all attempts to modify or replace it, which isn't really possible (though some malware is somewhat tamper-resistant in that sense).
I’m referring to the very top of the GPL where it states that anyone may copy but not modify the license.

After clicking through endless marketing speak on multiple pages I still wasn't able to find anything remotely substantiating the claim "the world's most powerful'.

As it is running on cloud machines as a SaaS business that might theoretically just mean potentially most available computer cores for a comparable offering.

Or any other BS market g can come up with. At the time of writing there isn't even a footnote or anything to that claim. Companies that do this are on my instant black list. Why should I trust them, when they don't show sources, or anything to back up their claim in an easy to discover way.

Edit before potential answers:
Maybe they have something to the claim. Maybe the offering is actually great. I wouldn't know. I wasn't able to somewhat verify the big claim and therefore did not go deeper into the offering. Unsubstantiated marketing speak just rubs me the wrong way.
I remember about 15 years ago I went on a binge of downloading ACM papers via the university library while I was an undergrad. Didn't think anything of it, I found all those papers interesting, and I was studying the topic, so why not?

Soon enough, my account got soft-banned and the library sent out an email reminding the whole 20,000-odd people at the uni what the Terms of Service are :)

I guess now the ACM admits it was no biggy after all ...

> I feel like this is another topic. What Linus is criticizing in the part you cite is the "or later" mechanism

The "or later" mechanism was always there, this facet was old news, it's not the substance of what he's taking issue with in v3. He's just appreciative of having the presence of mind to fix his kernel at v2 and not leave the v2+ option, because v3 is terrible.

Listen to the entire clip I linked. He's complaining about tivoization restrictions, he's complaining about the dishonesty surrounding the freedom to ignore those restrictions. This is the same kind of v3 nonsense as TFA, is it not?
I recommend companies add a clause to their licenses that if they go out of business or get acquired with the consequence that the product line gets discontinued, the product becomes open source automatically.

That also takes out a lot of risk for bigger companies doing business with startups.

I'm not trying to be snarky, but I don't know how you could miss the backup feature[1] of iTunes (now built into Finder on Mac), given it's been a feature of the iPhone ecosystem well before iCloud was even a thing.

You are right that data in the Secure Enclave (e.g. TouchID / FaceID) is not backed up. Developers also have the ability since iOS 5 to mark certain data to be excluded from backup. But other than this the local backup is a complete dump of the device.

I haven't really seen many attempt to _block_ DoH on their networks. After all it takes some really advanced methods to do that reliably since it is literally https on port 443 and can be hosted on any web server. I have seen places send signals to disable it for reasons other than censorship or surveillance though, typically because of split-view DNS. There are other ways to solve that but setting the canary domain serves as a quick patch for automatic DoH users who were unaware and anyone explicitly forcing DoH to always on on their own device can usually be expected to work around the problem themselves.

This doesn't preclude additional restrictions (or permissions) in a supplemental license file. Section 7 practically encourages augmenting the license.

> One is that it stores a "play count", the number of times you've played a song, directly in that song file. So it's always re-writing the source file of the track in the library.

It writes ratings to the file, but not play count. I don't believe any player does that.

It is amusing that in Europe, there is this big DGPR drama playing out about websites embedding resources from US companies. Like Google Fonts, Tweets and Facebook like buttons.

Yet the browser sends each and every website the user visits to a US company.

All in all, I tend to think that it is a net positive.

Downside: Now one US companies gets all my DNS queries. But can they stitch them together? I tend to think they can't easily. And will hopefully not keep enough logs to do so later.

Upside: My ISP and the cafes and hotels I visit do not get the info which websites I visit.

The protection could be made even stronger if the browser would send 5 DNS requests for every IP it needs. So if you visit news.ycombinator.com it additionally sends 4 random hostnames to cloudflare.
Well you can argue both sides than. I think the FDA is going overboard with their requirement to wash the poultry in chlorine.

I think you are giving Neo4J too much credit on this. From what I read, they just basically slap Common Clause on APGLv3 and call it a day.
The court just came in and adjudicate this is a (AND &&) clause instead or (OR ||) clause because assuming the latter would be kinda pointless because the Common Clause is more restrictive.

Additional/secondary homes, and especially empty homes need to be taxed more to help disincentivize the anticompetitive behavior in the housing market that you mentioned.
