There is gitlab, a decent alternative. Bitbucket is a (poor) option too. I think I would quibble with that dependency statement. Github is providing a lot of services, high availability, project tracking, a web api, etc...

The money model, as is for many free to FOSS tools is that by getting devs tooo use those tools, they'll carry forward to their professional lives and recommend the adoption by their companies. That does happen in practice, so it seems like the money model will not necessarily flip like it did for sourceforge (which kinda was garbage and the only game in town)

I would disagree about the industry dependency compared to FOSS. Many companies are not on github

So, that is to say the dependency aspect is a concern. So far Microsoft has overall been a steward for FOSS and copilot is not at all nearly enough to lose that trust. It is always a bit nerve wracking to place your balls in someone else's hands... and it was concerning when MSFT bought github.. but they have not been evil, not even close yet (in the grand picture)

The fact that companies like Celsius, Gemini, even Coinbase and other "cryptobanks" exist, and that people are using them at far higher rates than relatively simple (to us techies) wallets.

And when Celsius suddenly halts withdrawals to a huge portion of the cryptocoin community, the only answer is "oh, you shouldn't have been using that" or "not your keys, not your wallet" and other such "Advice". Its a fundamentally hostile environment.

Requiring Congress to precisely enumerating every possible use of authority indefinitely into the future is by definition limiting the scope of authority that Congress can delegate.

Imagine Congress passes an act next year banning abortion, and creates a new agency to enforce that act. The next year, a new method is invented that can induce abortions. Can that agency regulate it? By the logic of the Court, it can't, because Congress never explicitly authorized regulation of that particular form of abortion (because it didn't exist yet).
Rust definitely has a different feeling of mastery than other languages, due to the fact that most if not all bugs are caught during the compilation phase.

In other languages I like, I reach a point where I’m generally confident my code will compile before I ask it to. In Rust, for all but the most trivial logic, the compiler will usually have several things to say. However, I usually feel like the compiler is guiding me towards a simpler/more idiomatic/better way of doing things, and the compiler is more strict simply because Rust is so well-equipped for static compile-time analysis.

So fret not, the borrow checker and all the other checks that happen when writing Rust exist precisely because these things are so painful and complex to reason about as a human. The compiler is your colleague, not your boss!

The majority may actually approves it, instead of turning a blind eye. During the covid crisis, how much of the population was ok with the government (taking France as example here) excluding from social life, and in some case professional life, 10% of people, on the ground of them not pumping Pfizer et al. stock price? I bet on something like 70%. Those people think because there are in the "winner" side they'll always stay there, and don't realize how fast the wind turns, and the same method will apply to them soon for whatever reason.
Hmm, good analysis.

This phenomenon might to some degree be a function of the board’s veto power over the CEO. A primary reason you typically go public is to grow, so by default at IPO you’re a “growth stock”. But from that point on, its difficult to ever make a transition to a steady, sustainable “dividend stock”, especially as a tech company. If you try to, the stock will tank, all the “growth” investors will get mad and you (the CEO) will probably get fired by the board, and they’ll bring in a new “growth” CEO.
Also the UI sucked. I never looked forward to using it.
That's because the federal level is supposed to only deal with federal matters and be nonexistent elsewhere.

This article talks about people at the very top. The phenomenon is definitely not modern or American specific.

The people who are winning awards and accolades (aka “making it”) would literally still be doing what they’re doing if they did not get paid for it.

These people aren’t looking for more money or more awards!p, they’re internally driven and will never stop striving to push the boundaries of their art.

LeBron James would still play basketball if NBA stopped paying him.

Nobody who is a regular employee of a company are in the same game of “making it” as these people.

When the consequences of an executive agency's rulings are a) not clearly within their delegated powers, and b) sufficiently far-reaching that Congress should have authorized them more explicitly, then it makes sense to say that Congress must be more specific.

> There 535 Members of Congress and they work less than 200 days a year in a typical session.

Sure, Congress is in session for about 200 days, and even when it is the elected officials aren't typically on the floor for the full day. But that doesn't mean that when they aren't on the floor they aren't necessarily working. They could be meeting with constituents, with their staff, reading bills, going to committee meetings, just meeting with other reps/senators etc.

You make it sound like they don't do anything.
> The Jones Act is one section of the Merchant Marine Act of 1920. During the early 20th century, Americans found the British and German ships they depended on for international commerce had ditched them to wage war. Congress decided to help fund a merchant marine for the United States with hefty subsidies. These payments dried up by the 1980s when former President Ronald Reagan halted the flow of taxpayer money to the shipping industry.

The right answer here is that Congress explicitly delegated a decision to the EPA administrator, so they should be allowed to make that decision. The court's decision is well-argued, but it seems to come down to "I know Congress said you could do this, but it's a really big deal and they might not have thought it through enough, so you have to go ask for permission again before you do it". It's kind of patronizing to both the EPA and Congress, and I don't think it's a good decision or precedent.
Rate limiting Microsoft's ability to exploit FOSS, and moving to platforms that won't/can't implement abusive practices that cause these kinds of mass exoduses in the first place.

I think if Microsoft was figuratively and literally rate limited from accessing such a huge swath of open source code, they might not have been the ones to build something like Copilot and we may have been better off for it. A different, more ethical team might have made something better. Maybe it would even be an open source project.

Absolutely agree with you. Rust lets me offload all the boring, inscrutable memory management checking to the compiler. Sure, I can’t get away with undefined behavior, but I spend my Rust programming time thinking about the business logic and letting the compiler tell me when the books are off.
> Your local governments still have WAY more power over your life than the federal government

This was true a 100 years ago, i don't know if it's true anymore. My retirement, how much i pay in taxes, can I get healthcare, what does that healthcare look like, how much pollutants can the power plant produce, how safe is the car I drive, and many more questions are determined by the federal government.
The clean air act clearly gives the EPA power to regulate emissions of pollutants that are a threat to welfare. It's not really arguable that that coal power plants fall into that or that greenhouse gases are pollutants that are a threat to welfare. This is a ridiculous decision that flies in the face of the law, and their justification that somehow this is too much and that Congress needed to specify that they had explicit authority over power plants because that is "too significant" is patently ridiculous. Congress gave them a mandate over pollutants, I don't see how that is possibly an overreach. The position that Congress can't put an agency in power of regulating emissions because that's too general is ridiculous.
There's no doubt it is extremely powerful. But the result is everyone invents their own DSL, which is inevitably undocumented and nobody else wants to touch it.

Maybe something has changed since 2014. Something big like the UK leaving the EU, which was one of the main things that kept Scotland in the UK.

> growing 30% YoY for the last 3~4 years alone. This is unheard of in any other industry/market.

It has been common for the leaders in every other market throughout commercial history, as it pertains to corporations of large size. What you're looking at are presently old industries and comparing them to newer, that's where your mistake rests.

Walmart did it. Sears did it. Kmart did it. Best Buy did it. US Steel and its components did it. The various automobile majors did it. Standard Oil and the other oil majors did it. General Electric did it. Caterpillar did it. Pan Am did it. Many of the railroad companies did it during their time. McDonald's, Starbucks and most large chains do it during their expansion->saturation phase. Coca Cola did it.

It's exceedingly rare to find a large corporation that didn't bang out 30% growth years for a decade or more to get as big as they got.

One day, decades from now, "cloud" will look like a big dead industry too, and people will talk about how it never grows fast. Just ask the people that used to make business software you install onto PCs.

Justice Scalia basically agreed with you: gridlock is essential for protecting minority interests.

> And I hear Americans saying this nowadays, and there's a lot of it going around. They talk about a "dysfunctional government" because there's disagreement. And the Framers would have said, "Yes, that's exactly the way we set it up. We wanted this to be power contradicting power -- because the main ill that beset us" -- as Hamilton said in The Federalist when he talked about a separate Senate -- He said, "Yes, it seems inconvenient, but inasmuch as the main ill that besets us is an excess of legislation, it won't be so bad." This is 1787 -- he didn't know what an excess of legislation was.

> So, unless Americans can appreciate that and learn to love the separation of powers, which means learning to love the gridlock, which the Framers believed would be the main protection of minorities -- the main protection. If a bill is about to pass that really comes down hard on some minority [and] they think it's terribly unfair, it doesn't take much to throw a monkey wrench into this complex system.

> So, Americans should appreciate that and they should learn to love the gridlock. It's there for a reason -- so that the legislation that gets out will be good legislation.

Well, matchmaking and lobby is at least as important as connectivity ; not every multiplayer game requires absolutely flawless connectivity and pings in tens of ms, but every multiplayer game requires some kind of a player profile , and many of those games have a notion of "match", and "players participating in a match", thus requiring a matchmaking based on some rules, most often those are player level and user location. Almost every game I, as an ops engineer, took part in launching and running, was implementing those two parts, with varying degrees of success and finesse
I'm not in any kind qualified to answer this question, but have some thoughts. To me it seems like the US military does not have a reason to do a cost-benefit analysis. They can generally just say what they want and will mostly get it. There are always unknown factors in war, and trying to failsafe against more unlikely ones is generally inefficient, but doable if there is a willing payer.

I also wouldn't put it behind Russia to seriously test European unity. Would an attack of Estonia trigger nuclear war? Unlikely. A counter attack on Moscow certainly would. Russian leadership doesn't have that much to lose sadly.
Accelerating the ‘plain air’ isn’t really necessary to the propulsion. Once you’ve accelerated the ions you’ve already accomplished a momentum transfer - if those ions then go and share that momentum with some non ionized air molecules that’s their own business.

I guess maybe the non ionized air acts to keep the ions around between the two charged grids for longer, which means that for each ion you create you can maybe exploit its attractive/repulsive force for longer?
I was going to make a joke about mimicking that behaviour using a perceptron with certain weights but then I realized there's no side effect so they can all be zero. Perfect.

I find it interesting that we look at at the shipping operating costs, decide they are too high compared to other countries without breaking down which countries we are comparing to.

Doubly so since foreign shipping has a myriad of problems such as companies suddenly not paying their workers and abandoning their vessels to outright slavery.

Lastly, we keep talking about how minimum wage needs to be increased and how this would have minimum impact on prices. Yet here we are talking about how we should deregulate because the cost is too high.
