It is not. When I go shopping I give them a bill and I get something to eat. Both parties are better off after that transaction.

Similarly, if I am good at making stuff but terrible at growing stuff, by being in a community I can survive despite an utter lack of agricultural abilities and produce stuff that the farmers would not know how to make. Again, not zero sum.

You could argue that this is civilisation and unnatural. But nature is full of symbionts, not only predator/prey dynamics. “Life is a zero-sum game” sounds like something a social Darwinist would say to justify their pre-existing beliefs. It is in some instances, but it also isn’t in quite a lot of cases. It comes from a very incomplete understanding of life and ecosystems in general.

You are not extending the same logic though. The overwhelming majority of people, across all countries (hopefully 99%+) agree that murder (of innocent post-birth, actual people) should be illegal and indeed murder is illegal probably in every country that has a system of law.

There seems to be no recognition by the anti abortion side that even though roughly half or more of the world disagrees with their stance, they’re just going to ignore that, insist that they’re right, and try to impose their view on everyone else anyway.
My bet is either subcontracting the development to a lowest-bidder with no understanding of the concepts behind the code they're writing, or malicious compliance by an engineer that sees no reason to prevent people from installing custom firmware on their own car but still needed something that "looked" secure to get approved by management.
Easy to say, I know, but people like you should not leave.

I don’t find it is generally one programmer enabling it. Decimation of privacy often occurs slowly at most orgs. One exception at a time. One “critical” temporary need on top of another. Often in different teams. The person who built the UI didn’t build the GPS modules. The person who built the GPS module didn’t build the data store. The person who built the data store didn’t deal with report exports. And that person didn’t deal with their privacy and compliance policies- or sales pipeline. Lots of people wanting to say yes and do a good job. Often leadership is caught up chasing a dollar
What about ceiling fans? Do you have them? Or is it never that needed before too? In India where high temperature and humidity is always there, most people uses fans, AC only by rich and upper middle class.
It’s really not, the answer tends to be obvious.
Yeah agreed. It's a shame though isn't it. Imagine a world where hundreds of billions of US defense spending could go into public services like free healthcare.
Yeah thanks, it does! I use Tone.js also.

(Are "tracks" simple MIDI files or some combination of JSON/JS?)

Yes, but… I’ve seen that it is often just shades of bad. There are so few morally pure companies out there- they are all willing to do bad things for money. Or the vast majority of them. And it is hard to evaluate that upfront. Even the most virtuous will bend privacy for the right stakeholders

While it really wouldn't surprise me if there was a back door, or some incompetence (real or orchestrated) that functions as one, I also don't think "they" need microcode level backdoors given the state of software security, and the amount of information we give away freely.
Yes. It can be a major PITA, in certain problem spaces and I think most people don't pretend it's a great solution but ultimately accept it as a limitation of being hosted on the JVM.

- Patronage

- Crowdfunding

- Other forms of payment for creation rather than distributing copies

- Government grants

- UBI

Those are just the super obvious ones. Generally when something is considered valuable, society finds ways to pay for it. Not allowing copyright and patent parasites collect as much means there is more that can be spread to actual creators.

Or they could work on something else that is not as easily copied - there will always be others driven to create art.

That there are business models profiting from certain laws should not exclude those laws from being reconsidered. In a way, copyright is like pollution: externalizing the costs to everyone else for your own profit.

The question isn’t about which pays more, it’s about whether the best tack is to treat an occupation as an economic transaction where the sole goal is to be a mercenary to the highest bidder.

If someone finds can find fulfillment dedicating their life to making ad-spend software while getting paid handsomely, that’s wonderful. But the larger point is that the comments seemed to be focused exclusively on the pay with little consideration to the work.
This seems to very similar to seeking a bill of attainder.

Why should federal government infringe on individuals right to install apps.
The consequences is that these companies get very rich and they eventually take-over the open-source project.

See Redis for example, two Israeli dudes took the open-source Redis, made tons of money.

Everyone is happy: the two founders became rich, the VCs became rich.

What about the authors and contributors of Redis ?
Well thank you for the gift. As a present you can have the privilege to work for us to keep maintaining your bugs.
Don't complain too much.

Then you can rewrite the history to make it sound like you created Redis and it's a win, while it's actually just a very smart dude in Italy who wrote most of the software using his own sweat and support from his employer (Pivotal).
Can you propose some specific actions?
But to add my own, more substantive comment:

I do have an intense hate of crypto. Not sure why you want to ignore tulips — speculative financial instruments seem like a very valuable comparison to crypto… For my part, I object to (a) the sheer narcissism of the crypto community, which claims crypto is better but fails to address the basic use cases needed to gain any practical traction in the real world (fast transactions, insured deposits), and (b) the way that crypto is hyped and ends up with normal people being taken advantage of (celebrity endorsements then a crash, NFTs).

Crypto doesn’t seem to solve any problem, but it sure has contributed to fucking over a lot of regular people
I got a few really good exchanges on Reddit. But I always feel weird reaching out to people directly afterwards, I feel the platform isn't made for that.
As far as I can tell, the term “Shannon’s demon” is fairly recently made up. I learned this as the Kelly criterion. Here’s the original paper:

https://www.princeton.edu/~wbialek/rome/refs/kelly_56.pdf

To “Shannon’s demon’s” credit, the first word of that paper is Shannon, but that’s about it. Kelly and Shannon were different people, and the paper makes no mention of demons.

This also has nothing to do with making returns out of thin air. It’s about how to avoid losing your returns by betting too much at once, and how to optimally choose the size of a bet.

This is quite irrelevant to the discussion. To the best of our knowledge, the OP made the tracks and programmed the sounds; if any artist should be paid it's them, not some DJ or samples maker in fashion at the Buddha Bar.
First, revoke the license. That means they are no longer permitted to redistribute the code.

If they then continue to redistribute it, they are committing a copyright violation. That’s when there is cause for a lawsuit.
Each track is it's own JS file! With a folder of corresponding samples, which the JS file pieces together as I mentioned before. There's no MIDI, it's all done with the Tone.js scheduler. :)

These attacks work against defenders that can’t be bothered to implement WW2 era defences. These kinds of “attacks” have been well understood for a good 70 years now.

It’s simply restating the obvious. Nothing has changed, unshielded electronics continue to let out measurable EM emissions. The people who worry about this sort of thing have been shielding their electronics since well before computers as we know them existed.

> Probably took non-zero effort to develop?

In the sense that doing anything takes non-zero effort by definition.
It really depends on your company processes and culture. I've seen most trouble when SaaS companies expect frequent/incremental delivery of features from engineers, but UX is not part of team but some thing apart that hands over pixel perfect mockups worked on in isolation from the dev team, and that doesn't consider incremental delivery.
> ... but wouldn't the logical extreme just be to basically define a container for a JS canvas with embeddable resources?

Here's my attempt at creating a grainy video effect in the browser using a media stream (from the device's camera - the page should ask for permission first). Very much an MVP; I'm already working on making the dithering algorithm more efficient. https://codepen.io/kaliedarik/pen/OJOaOZz

> YouTube's already got some limited interactivity features, DVDs had them, why not all videos?

I don't know about videos, but again this is doable in the browser using the canvas. For instance, this example: https://scrawl-v8.rikweb.org.uk/demo/canvas-027.html - the swans, and both geese, are clickable (to their respective Wikipedia pages). The navigation around each goose is a clickable box, while the navigation on the swans uses a chroma-key effect to limit the clickable area.
I played both roles in different companies. One thing I found wasting a lot of time on in past companies was the back-and-forth around minor changes like UX copy. Every time I would want a different text in the app I would have to ask the dev to do so and vice versa, I had designers sending me minor changes they need me to fix in the production app. (Shameless plug: this is why I joined working on FlyCode[1] S22)

Google can do pretty much whatever it wants when it's the only player in the space. It certainly hasn't been shy about doing things outside of a standards body. Sure, it's open source, but can you meaningfully influence the direction of the project? If you decide to fork and deviate from what stock Chrome is doing, you're apt to be locked out similarly to sites that don't support Firefox or Safari.

It looks pretty similar to what MS was doing with IE, just with a dash of "here you can skin this thing". The biggest differences being that Google has a strong interest in ensuring the web is the app platform of choice, rather than a desktop OS. On the other hand, Google needs to sell targeted ads, so it's unlikely to be the standard bearer for web privacy.
I find a few sources of tension

- designers who want things to be "pixel perfect" while devs may cut corners to ship it quickly

- devs who unilaterally alter the design without discussing it with the designer, because they think it's better

- designers who design overly elaborate, customized UI solutions when simple, existing ones do the trick, and then are frustrated when devs push back

- designers with little technical understanding of things like react designing things that seem simple to them, but are complicated to implement, and then are frustrated when devs push back

- designers who feel like they have the final say over UI, while devs view it as more of a suggestion

I don't think I've really solved these super well in larger companies, but where I've observed it not be an issue is when people are closely connected to the product being built, and understand it (even better if they are users), and are working together directly (without product managers as a go between). Not to be like a Marxist, but I think it might actually be caused by alienation from one's labor. Designers design a thing in a vacuum, not fully understanding it, hand it off to devs. Devs code it, not really participating in the creative process. When they are an integrated team solving a problem they understand, collaboratively, it works better.
Did the two Israeli dudes violate the Redis license?
Awesome thanks for doing that!

I live in the centre of a capital city. Not even the state could get enough money to buy the affected land here.

> Yes, in the very long run, drone transport for these things would be better due to emissions/etc, but IMO the country has more pressing problems at the moment.

A country always has thousands of more pressing problems, the issue is that nobody orders them the same way. The best you can do is to solve more than one problem at a time.
I hear you, but I don’t think this is a fair assessment because EE isn’t a “low pay job” by almost any objective measure. I get that it doesn’t pay SWE money in many cases, but it comes across as somewhat out of touch, like saying “the problem with a Tesla is it’s a low end car” because you’re comparing it to a Maserati

When I was young, and broke, an old guy bought my lunch one day when I was traveling. He left before I even got the bill, but the waitress told me he was a regular, and he left a simple note. And the note said something along the lines of "I was once young like you, and I know how scarce money can be when you are young. I hope that when you are older, that won't be a problem for you, and that you will pass along the favor"

Which I have done on a couple occasions, including the note, so they understood my motivation. I am hoping that when they get old, they'll pass it on.

I don't really think that the crypto market is going to crash totally, I believe it has a pretty bright future. Of course, nowadays, it's better to invest in projects like https://bhero.com instead, and since early investors benefit the most, you need to look for reliable platforms and check the reviews from the specialists in order not to lose your money.
I'm generally hard to scare, but why not talk it over with a couple of engineers? Either they're going to tell you "it's not going to work b/c that's what we've been told in school" and you'll sleep better, or you're going to be very rich and you'll also sleep better.
You're acting like all human history was crap until we created endless growth, but it wasn't. So I don't think you're right.
That's an utterly nonsense claim. The time sensitivity of data is highly context dependent and even if it's true that the real estate trends of 2019 won't help you predict 2022, it's crazy to assume that "overfitting" to 2021 will do better. I mean even this exact example. You think the patterns of 2021 peak covid real estate are a good example to learn from for 2022? No, absolutely not.

Same with blood, when you need it you really need it.

There is an awesome (volunteer) organisation in the UK called Blood Bikes[1] that operate all over the UK.

Most of them don’t actually believe abortion is murder though. They give their hand away pretty easily. If they thought abortion were murder, why are they also against contraceptive use? Over a quarter of all pregnancies end in miscarriage - far more than the number of voluntary abortions - why are they doing nothing to reduce that number? Maybe there could be mandatory pregnancy testing once a month to check if a woman is pregnant, and then intervene with drugs or behavioral guidance to maybe help avoid a miscarriage. Maybe more research is needed there, which they are not doing. And if abortion is murder, why make an exception for rape or incest? It’s not the baby’s fault it is the product of rape or incest - how does murdering a baby make a rape any better? Two wrongs don’t make a right.
That pretty weird. You’d assume that CERN have LaTeX templates, meaning that you could just sit down and start typing.

At university we created a template first semester, tweaked it a bit the second. After that it wasn’t something that you needed to think off. You could just start typing, run make to build a pdf if needed, and everything could just be pushed to subversion (it was 20 years ago).

So few people truly know how to use Word. Most just mess around with fonts and spacing until thinks look about right. I sure that even few is actually able to use Google Doc as anything beyond a web based Wordpad.

It's sad but not surprising that you think that the US did not promote, finance, or execute dictatorships and all kinds of destabilizing tactics against democratically elected governments for the sole reason of not agreeing with their policies. They even sent agents to my country to teach the military how to torture civilians.

The only difference is that they were careful to not do it directly, or do it in secret. Exactly the same way they are doing in Ukraine now, where they avoid giving the weapons directly to Ukraine, but instead they use the well exercised muscle of influence.

I guess America cares about India's human rights record now that India is trading with Russia and doesn't back Ukraine unconditionally. You coud totally see this coming once India started trading with Russia.

I think TikTok's competition with Alphabet and Meta for digital ad space is healthy for market but security is the most important for users. At the end TikTok will be open sourced because there is no other way to guarantee 100% security instead of going full open source.

I remember Bill Gates once said in one of his interviews that Microsoft showed the source code of Microsoft Windows to various governments around the world in order for them to review it because they were afraid of NSA surveillance. Maybe that's the way for TikTok instead of going full open source but who knows.

College teacher CS here. You are right. Virtual teaching sucks. But that's not the whole story. Remote teaching can work for highly motivated people with lots of discipline.

And the younger they get, the less often they'll have these characteristics.

So in my opinion, never teach children remotely. Or students. Adults? Depends.
