He fails less because he got lucky at some time and made his money, and then after that he acts like a bully and tries to beat down any opposition. Selling company at 420, what was he penalized? Other allegations, what did he lose? If there was a genuine fear of him losing something substantial, I am pretty sure his attitude will change.

No one is questioning his impact, but the people do question and have the right to question the methods. But we live in a corrupt system, we can point fingers in many directions, and rightly so. He is just one of a breed.
Main reason I mind is because DRM a) creates "artificial scarcity" of an effectively "infinitely" and freely duplicate-able resource (digital bits of data) mostly to fulfill the bottomless greed-hole of corporate entities (rather than to enrich the original creator for their part in it), and b) (and this is the main reason I hate DRM) because it gives some bottomless pit of greed corporate entity the ability to arbitrarily deprive me of something I paid for, or restrict my ability to use / access it at some unknown point in time down the road, forcing me to maybe have to pay again for something I already paid for. (Nope. Not gonna do that. If I'm backed into that corner, I'll choose to "fly the Jolly Roger" and acquire a DRM-free copy some other way.)

Given the option to support content creators in some way that doesn't screw me over as a content "consumer", I'ma prefer that option all day long, every day; However, too many corporate entities these days would rather not offer that option, if they think they can find a way to make you pay every single time you lay eyeballs on something… (That is the ultimate goal of some of 'em, to be certain.)
Immigration support should read like this if it is to align with even a grain of truth.

"We know that this situation is particularly tough if you’re a visa holder. Basically you are fucked. Here is a dildo sign to show you in picture what your situation is. There is nothing called non-employment visa. So here is a picture of two dildos if you are still reading this"
That same Postal Inspection Service also had a large role in the creation of the Secret Service. Highly trained and well-armed mailmen :)

I love how this piece is really evidence free opinion. First he waxes on about spiraling tuition costs, and blames "too many" admins as weighing the higher education down.

Does he break out comparisons to an earlier era with data? No, it's just a handwave of "back in my day" and some Rand Paul-esque "I don't know what these people do, but they are obviously not needed".

Here's a radical idea: How about asking the students, you know, the ones PAYING the tuition, what they think? No no, too logical, better to campaign on "firing 9 / 10 and reducing tuition".

There isn't even a bit of the article where he talks about how much the average student spends on all of this "waste" as he claims it.

I mean, there might be massive waste and he might be right. But as written, this article has zero evidence, and I would say as the author is a lawyer you think that evidence would be an important facet of your argument.
> Ever use that roof top tent in urban areas? How hard is that?

In a Walmart parking lot, yeah. I generally use Austin as my base, and in Austin, people sleep in normal tents all over the place. Rarely are they kicked out. If you're trying to park in a well-to-do neighborhood, it's possible you'll get called out for it, but quite likely if you're quiet and clean and gone the next day no one will say anything. Often, I see the big recreational vans when I'm traveling. People park them and sleep in them everywhere. As long as you're not staying multiple nights in a row in the same place, you're generally not going to bother anyone (they will usually assume you're just resting from travel).

But honestly, state & national parks are usually the way to go, particularly for tents. Sometimes it's free, sometimes it's a $5 per night honor system deposit envelope, occasionally it's a park ranger registration, depending on the location. And you don't always have to travel far off a main highway to get to a decent campsite, there's tons of spots if you look.
I just tested it, it works.

He’s already mandating “84 hour workweeks”, as well as revoking WFH options. Those 2 items alone, even only 1 of the 2, are enough reason to leave a company and never look back. There is literally nothing that could balance the situation in favor of working there.

As someone who cut their teeth in embedded before going into web development, I've seen a significant amount of similarities between the two. The most obvious to me is that now we spend a lot of time connecting prebuilt libraries together - back in the day we wrote everything from scratch. The skills required to interface to a bluetooth library are not any different to say connecting to a map API on a web page... if it all works and does what it says in the docs. At some point your core skills and experience are required in the specific domains to identify and fix bad behaviour (i.e. your bluetooth library isn't working because you have physical antenna issues etc).

There is also a large amount of crossover as embedded gains more resources. Often you're working with javascript because your device needs to have an embedded web server with custom functionality. Sometimes you see SQlite on embedded flash, although debatable if they really needed it. Running Linux is far more common and it works pretty much the same regardless if it's on an MCU or a VM in the cloud.

The main difference I see is to do with the ease of fixing mistakes in the field. With web development I can usually git push and the issue is fixed for all users. With embedded, I almost never have an internet connection so it's a case of physically sending people to site or product recall to fix the issue if it's serious. Internet connections are becoming more common in embedded so we can remote update, but still the minority in general.

Lots of common ground, but just like any discipline it's that last 20% that makes the difference.
Over the past two years I've gotten regular AWS recruitment emails, in fact for the last few months it's been every two weeks (from different people each time!) I responded that I had left tech, but if Amazon Studios was interested in an unrepped screenwriter I could be the guy. :P Some responded positively initially, though none followed up past the first reply.

I'll miss responding to those for a while.
> "An Asian American in the fourth lowest decile has virtually no chance of being admitted to Harvard (0.9%) but an African American in that decile has a higher chance of admission (12.8%) than an Asian American in the top decile (12.7%)"

I absolutely love this stat

Take a minute, and think about what non-AA, non-racist reason this might be true?

I don’t know the exact answer for the 4th decile, but I can make a good guess.

Of all of those folks in the fourth decile across all races, what do you think sets them apart?

It will without a doubt be that they are very highly rated in some other area.

The most likely answer statistically is… wait for it… recruited athlete.

There are other possible answers like child of faculty member, or child of person of interest, or child of key donor. We don’t really know unless we see the specific applications of the folks who were accepted in the 4th decile.

If you want to criticize schools for their policies on recruiting athletes or granting preference to deans/directors lists, you won’t get much pushback from me. That said, it’s very much the reality now and probably for the foreseeable future.

Turning this summary data into a race issue without knowing the details of the specific applicants is simply irresponsible.

Everyone is in a protected class because everyone has a nationality, immigration status, ethnicity, sex, sexuality, etc.

I agree people are not rotten to the core but we keep blaming system and thus get rid of any personal accountability. Both are important. But so far it seems people have forgotten "looking at mirror". Everyone keeps blaming everyone else. So many conflicts would automatically get diffused if people looked within. Nobody wants to do that because it's hard. Blaming others and system is easy. Platforms providing healthy environment is equally important to personal accountability.

Also comparing our social media squabbles to food security is not right imho.
I find your comment a bit perplexing, perhaps you can help me understand.

Why do you want to release code on GitHub with an oppressive license? What's the motivation for you, and what's the benefit for anyone else in it being released?

The size of code fragments being generated with these AI tools is, as far as I can tell, extremely small. Do you think you could even notice if your own implementation of sqrt, comments and all, wound up in Excel?

I was briefly _very_ confused when I saw the news.
A-ha! Like I assumed, you're from the US and think shows not made in America are "foreign". You have to be careful when assuming everyone reading your comments in HN is from the US as well. Netflix is a global service, something may be foreign to you, but not to the person reading your comments here.

> The catalog you see is what is available for your country

That's not really relevant to my point, is it? In any case, I can assure I can see plenty of Korean, Turkish, Swedish, etc, shows listed on Netflix.. here in my Latin American country.

Any way you look at it, the assertion that Netflix has "10% foreign dubbed garbage" is poorly phrased and probably false.
Yes, the original license was open source. It's exactly your change that makes it not open source.
> Do you think it would be possible to build electric cars and rockets _without_ this brand of leadership?

Absolutely yes. The sort of high performing people who join places like SpaceX and Tesla need very very little pressure to get them to work at full speed. Usually it just takes a nudge here and there, and they'll work themselves like crazy. The extra pressure on top is pure stress, and causes people to narrow their thinking and make mistakes.

The most important thing that good leadership brings is clear direction and high standards. Elon has these qualities for sure, and he could do away with the overstressing of his employees and would still be just as successful. Happy employees are productive. This was obvious in the early days of many startups, with Google as the prime example, but now the copycats will think that treating people as disposable is how to be successful like Elon.

Is the idea here that Twitter is more complicated than building rockets? Or building factories that build millions of electric cars?
Reminds me of a similar video but from a LinkedIn employee https://youtu.be/X5TZVhKDwpk
I'm not saying that it is. I'm saying that whether or not it is, this license won't make a difference.
> Twitter did in fact lie about the bot numbers

Did it? At least based on what was shown in court, that seems hard to believe, especially given data scientists he hired failed to produce mDAU spam numbers significantly off from what Twitter had, let alone off to the point where fabrication becomes a likely explanation.
Right but in the example you use you could write sl*r or sl-r instead of slur and anyone reading would understand you and you would get past the filter.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/03/technology/twitter-layoff...

> We have no clue whose going to be laid off

No but we do know this plan was thrown together extremely quickly. We know a few days ago developers were told to print off (!) their code for review. Let’s state the obvious: it takes more than a week to plan an effective layoff of half your staff.

Amazon also does this right? But unlike kindle, kobo devices can easily have libre readers installed on them that can read whatever format you like. I threw koreader on my kobo and haven't looked back. It communicates with my private opds server to download books I have, ah, acquired, and converted to epub. Or sometimes PDF.

I think it can even read MOBI though, i vaguely remember accidentally uploading some to my kobo without converting and reading them before i realized the conversion step was missed.

The idea that Twitter is ever "not under active development" is ludicrous.

Services with hundreds of millions of users, antagonistic spammers/hackers/countries, and advertisers spending millions are never in maintenance mode.

You sound like you're trying to apply your understanding of lifestyle software businesses to one of the largest real-time communication networks in human history.
Keeping things quiet is the point of noise-cancellation.

But if it is a patent violation, does changing it and saying they're not doing it anymore help?
And yet this same government randomly, arbitrarily, (or sometimes not at all) chooses to selectively enforce (or not) a wide variety of existing laws, all while busily making more new laws that may or may not be arbitrarily and randomly enforced (when / if it suits their current "agenda of the day"). It's gotten downright ridiculous, honestly.

Many companies are moving to four day work weeks. Productivity peaks at under 50 hours per week. Silicon Valley humans are not immune to this just because they work in big tech.

Anyone who focuses purely on hours worked or misery while working is merely perpetuating this country's unhealthy Protestant style relationship with work. If an employee can be fully productive to the demands of their work and still have time to chat or go to the gym, what is the issue? You act like you've just described the worst thing you've ever seen ("spoiled apples") but I just see a happy workforce.

Of course, if they are truly not productive, that's something different. But unless they are your reports, you have no idea what their true level of productivity is.

It's beyond time we start recognizing that happy employees are more productive, and stop shaming people for daring to seem happy at work. Because right now, a lot of us seem like the proverbial crab not letting others crawl out of the bucket.
Huh? I was in California and food is not expensive at all in the supermarket there. And I'm not talking about Aldi quality food but organic.
Especially when you consider how much richer Californians are VS Europeans.

Maybe it's because California has got a performant agriculture.

Mostly housing, healthcare and education are more expensive in the US but consumer prices are generally significantly lower. Check numbeo.
It's not a fallacy. It's true, and obviously true.

It may not be true everywhere, but every company I've worked in that had "unlimited" PTO had far fewer vacation days taken than companies with a limited allocation of days.

> No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor

> The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.

And here's the license term in question:

The problem of Richard Feynman (2014)
Vulture capitalism refers to a very specific practice. It's also known as LBO (leveraged buy out) or asset stripping. In particular, vulture capitalists prey on distressed firms in need of cash, engage in a takeover, and proceed to gut the company.

This is not the same as referring to all capitalists as vultures. Vulture capitalists are a very specific subset of people engaged in a very specific, usually highly dishonest, business. Whether or not capitalists are vultures in general is just like, your opinion, man.
Some years ago I flashed patched bios to run "not supported" wifi card on HP notebook. For some reason they had a whitelist of wireless modules you can use. Pretty sure I used that website for patching said bios.
I'll probably try SILE just because it does not support macro.

I personally think the adoption macro is the embodiment of non intuitive programming languages and why a modern programming languages, for example Rust is supporting macro is beyond me.

I'm not alone in this regard, D a modern successor of C and C++ does not support macro.

Hopefully one day Walter will write document on "Macro Considered Harmful" to enlighten the subject.
> A federated, open online dating protocol

A natural way to implement this would be to extend ActivityPub and build modules for Fediverse sites like Mastodon that add dating site features. (In fact, ActivityStreams already has support[0] for defining relationships between people, with "Would Like To Know" being a standardised value[1]).

The searching/matching functionality would probably have to be done at the level of an aggregator, like "Social Search"[2], but what's really needed is a privacy-preserving way of only revealing your contact information to someone who matches with you. That's sort of equivalent to the "socialist millionaire problem"[3], so there could be a nice zero-knowledge protocol for implementing this. You might need to couple it with some form of proof-of-personhood / Sybil-resistance, though, to stop someone just generating every possible profile and matching with everyone else.
