So users of Stripe SDK ends up donating to Stripe SDK that reallocates those funds to the dependencies that makes the Stripe SDK possible to build, rather than Stripe donating money directly to those dependencies that makes it possible for them to build their SDK?

I'd rather fund libraries that don't have huge companies behind them, and those companies should donate themselves to the dependencies they use, so I can spend my money on donating to libraries I depend on directly.
It was NOT rare. Microsoft used to do a huge multitude of easter eggs. Most big companies stopped because there was fear that easter eggs would increase the attack surface for hacking. For one concrete example, the PHP easter egg was useful to tell which (usually vulnerable) version of PHP a site runs so that you can run exactly the script you need to attack it.

As a resident of San Francisco I complete sympathize and mostly agree with your position.

That said I don't think you can comprehend how broke and cheap the landlords are here in San Francisco. 50+ year old buildings that are all crumbling. They pay absolute nincompoops to keep everything standing and not more. Literal illiterates.

The maximum action I've seen taken against these people is like, a $900 permit fine. Maybe once out of every 100 unpermitted repairs / modifications / works.

The majorities in LA and SF communities where development is economical are not aligned culturally with you and me.

I don't totally understand why "they" are excused from following the rules. I don't know why Prop 13 ensures they pay 1/20th the property taxes you do and I eventually will (I am a renter).

I can't comprehend why we tolerate how people in these communities use old people and children to maximize their compulsory buyout payments when someone else moves into the home a person with whom they share a cultural affinity is selling.

Somehow these same people have fucked up the compact that people in the Mission could send their kids to Presidio schools. A 10 year law that would have made it reasonable for me to permanently live here, now reversed.

They're just so god damned stupid. Eventually people will crack and figure out whom to point the finger at.

A lot of them would not have made the switch if the only way to watch your favorite TV show on Netflix was to login at the exact time that it airs every week, and you couldn't watch the old episodes, and they only had a catalog of a few dozen shows at a time.

It was the same with music before streaming. It was literally faster and easier to pirate it than to rip the songs from your legally purchased CD if you had an MP3 player.

My MNT Reform
The problem is that this consideration has been weaponized to the point of abuse so bad that some people cynically no longer see deferring to these considerations as something legitimate.

In addition, in the crazy red state I now live, people are slowly filling anything that could be considered wetlands on their property to proactively protect their property rights. So this consideration is now RESPONSIBLE for active wetland destruction and a hostile attitude by many towards wetlands on their property.
I am a resident of SF and disagree with the current policy. The only way to fix it is for residents who care about development to convince others. Democracy only works if there is discourse, otherwise nothing would change

Also, in SF we have more than enough water. Maybe you are thinking of Southern California more than 300 miles away?

The use of "stablecoins" is for crypto arbitrage. Exchanging to USD via traditional means is just too slow to take any risks.

There was an early alt-coin, http://freico.in/, which had a demurrage fee for holding, which was intended to incentivize spending over saving. A terrible idea if you ask me.

Long-term saving is the biggest selling-point for Bitcoin. If the value of savings went down by design, it would have never got to where it is.

While I agree that in selecting a proxy to use whether it is open source is one of the most important considerations, if that's all you look for in this article, you may be missing something.

I thought the article did a good job of describing how they went about making the choice of whether to continue contributing to an existing (nominally open source) system or to build a new one. And of course, it did a good job of showcasing the strengths of Rust (reliability guarantees strong enough that they could identify when problems were due to hardware.)

I agree that none of the other options currently serve that purpose at the scale of natural gas. But the discussion is about long term solution.
Isn’t this one of the reasons why Elon Musk was interested in acquiring Twitter in the first place?

Could they simply disable the ability to change display names for verified users? It must match the government-issued ID / business documents / etc. that were used to verify in the first place. If you want to change it, send updated verification documents.

This takes away an avenue for self-expression (people will often change their display names based on trends, etc.) and might have edge cases (like transgender people whose preferred names may not match government ID cards) but it seems like it would be a step in the right direction...

This is completely false. A large portion of Bay Area home-owner voters are staunch NIMBY supporters.

The amount of voters that are against development is definitely the majority.
Is that a reasonable bar? How does Trump live? Biden? Truss? Trudeau? The UK is starting people for signs that say "not my king", the US incarcerates whole integer percentages of their population, and Canada continues to do terrible things to their indigenous population.

Put more succinctly, I do believe that the US leadership lives like royals while the average worker is scraping by.

I'm happy to chat, but the bar should be set equally.
I think the author is being too generous.

The layouts were designed over a decade ago and most tubes sites just copied YouTube for a layout, assuming They know what they were doing when they designed it. Or copied other existing tube sites’ layouts. A lot of these sites started by using an out of the box software that has a prebuilt back then as well. The designs weren’t changed because why would you change a horse that’s winning you many millions per month? Plus everyone was afraid of changing anything that might hurt their seo ranking.

Java EE is basically a collection of API that are shared accross different Java web servers. It's a spec so basically you develop your java app on say glassfish server and you can deploy it on websphere, the servers holds all the libraries you need to run your app, so you can just deploy some small java zip file.

Because of trademark issues with Oracle around the name Java, the open source community had to rename all its API jakarta instead of java which is completely stupid and is a demonstration that Oracle is just here to milk the name Java.

I wonder if Discord will ever catch on in the corporate world.

I use Slack for work and Discord for recreation. Is it just me, or does Discord just seem vastly superior to Slack? Slack is so tedious to navigate by comparison, especially when you have many channels with separate PMs in them. Discord just continues to get better in the right ways, but Slack just feels bloated with features that it takes too much effort to find what you need.
We should stop invoking Alan Kay's ancient opinion in OOP discussions. I suggest we rebrand his flavour of programming as "message oriented programming" (MOP), thank it for its continuing contributions to the field, and recognize that contemporary OOP is a valid but different solution space.

Excel is 100% the poor man's simulation package. I like Matlab and Simulink a lot better, and if I were 25 again I'd be a fool for Julia, but nothing beats it for sharing a simulation or other analysis with someone that doesn't have the same software you do on his or her computer.

One challenge in YIMBY-oriented organizing is that "future residents" who would benefit most from new developments have no political power to wield in order to get them approved — because they don't live there yet — because they can't, since there is not housing for them
> There was a time when some old installers wouldn't parse "Program Files" correctly because of the space.

That's one of the reasons why it had a space. If you wanted to stop using the DOS APIs and get off of `PROGRA~1`, you need to handle spaces properly. Having a bunch of the standard paths (see also `My Documents`) include spaces meant that software vendors shouldn't have been able to get away with using Windows filename APIs without supporting filenames with spaces - everything would obviously break almost instantly.

Doing that, Microsoft made sure that there was no reasonable way for an ISV to claim that they either forgot to test that use-case, or weren't going to support it, when every Windows system in existence relied so heavily on paths with spaces.

My personal experience (as assistant to a CEO) was that between him and the CFO they could have run every aspect of the business competently. He had very consciously found another executive who complemented his talents so that there was full coverage.

This kind of reminds me of Facebook back in the day. You had a space that was sort of private-ish, in the sense that people had to sign up and you could set things so that only friends/friends-of-friends would see your posts. But in the end, even if you try to be private, your friends-of-friends network is eventually infiltrated and scraped.

Semi-private in the long term is public. It makes sense -- the platforms want us to feel comfortable and over-share, but this is because they are on the surveillance capitalist team, not because they are benevolent.

They could try promoting innovation and producing tech companies of their own instead of devoting substantial amounts of energy to squeezing their more successful foreign counterparts.

…and this is another group of citizens organizing and advocating for a different outcome on future votes. It is democracy in action.

If you don’t like citizens organizing and advocating for democratic outcomes in the bay area, you can move to NY or Texas or Florida, where democratic decisions do not impact the bay area. (Do you see how the “just move away” rhetoric breaks down under a little bit of scrutiny?)
Their argument is based on opinions of morality and soft-truths, but they're casting it like an objective problem (which it is not). The author even feels the need to admit as much at the end, simply acknowledging that the cycle of sexualization will always continue, regardless of our opinion on it.

So, with that being said, I'd say it absolutely compromises their argument here. If the author is gullible enough to fall for garden-variety conspiracy theories, why should I trust their authority on morality? Their rhetorical triangle is broken. They have no credibility, they make no appeals to logic (and contradict themselves) which leaves them only with pathos - the ability to outrage and incense their audience based on emotional appeals.
I'm actually finding this comment chain useful, because I see it as showing that we need better language to describe the stages of design. Or maybe that nomenclature does already exist but people aren't using it? In R&D we will often describe the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_readiness_level of a new technology, and this is much more useful that just saying "it's in development". But I'm not aware of a similar shorthand for the design phase. There is this muddy space between concept and fully specified design which would be awesome to be able to talk about in more concrete terms.

For example, let's look at the concept/design of a helicopter:

DL1 (idea phase): a flying machine that can go straight up and hover

DL2 (concept with basic working principle): a vehicle with a rotor which acts like wings moving in a circle to move air down and by reaction push the vehicle up

DL3 (concept with important details attached): as DL2 but with a tail rotor to allow for axial control and differential tilting of the airfoils to allow forward thrust

DL4 (concept with specifications that drive requirements for other specs): as DL3 with rotor lengths of 3.3 m and a NACA 0018 cross section made of 6061-T6 aluminum

DL5 (concept with full specs): as DL4 but also etc.

Is anyone aware of better nomenclature like this for the concept/design phase? It would help for more important things than this discussion alone. Like when discussing which is more important, idea or execution: so which level idea are we talking about? Also, the root cause of a lot of software problems is in the spec. It would be nice to be able to go back and say, "this spec is only spec level 3, can I please have a spec level 5"?

This discussion is happening because "they designed it over a weekend" is really vague. It would be nice to have a quick way to make it not-vague.

That "Where Your Money Goes" overview was particularly derided by Wikipedians in the Village Pump poll. It's so fuzzy it could mean anything.

In particular, "32% direct support to communities" was seen as complete pie in the sky. 32% of $163M revenue would be $52 million.

But once you deduct the $68M salary bill and $6M in donation processing expenses from the $112M expenses total, you only have $38M left!

So how can 32% of revenue be "direct support to communities"??
