I understand perfectly well that they are both depending on context.

All I'm saying is that the harm they inflict on billions of people outside the company outweighs the good they do for thousands inside. Just because there's both good and bad doesn't mean the degree of each cannot be weighed at all.
That's exactly why I added the last part : to focus the discussion on Erlang and not the BEAM.

> misleading manner by labeling speculative ethical behavior as “EA” when it’s neither effective

I agree that they're ineffective, but I don't see any evidence that the MIRI types are lying - they're trying to help, they think they're helping ... and they're mostly wrong. It happens.

> But this kind of bootstrapping of classroom ethical dilemmas into actually diverting donated money away from human welfare efforts astounds me.

Are you sure that's what's actually going on? Donations and especially effort are not fungible. The techy libertarian futurist types in the MIRI orbit, for instance, are so far as I can tell simply not as bothered by poverty as Singer et al. A world in which they're not worried about AI risk is not a world in which they give just as much to other causes; it's a world in which they give less.
Just a short time ago, there was a thread where someone posted a link to the infamous story about Vlasic (IIRC) and the extremely cheap large bucket of pickles that Walmart (the retailer) forced Vlasic (the maker) to provide. The store mandated the maker. Not the other way around. So yes, sometimes the grocer does the telling.

If the government dumps a shitload of cash on everyone and the demand for bread goes way up overnight then the bread seller would 100% raise his prices out of sync with the cost of wheat. The bread seller is either charitable or dumb if he doesn’t sell for whatever people are willing to pay.

Netflix doesn't have enough content, so they resort to these tactics.

All major content providers left them years ago and started their own Netflixes. So they're left with a few movies from ten years ago, a couple of recent-ish releases, and their own content.

I presumed your comment about consistency was regarding the fact that on the one hand EA has at its core applied utilitarian ethics, but on the other hand the greatest source of EA funding is from an apparent charlatan.

Of course I don't think you find other dubious money making activities to be acceptable. I was pointing out that consistency is not a very useful moral yardstick. But since you don't seem to be claiming it as such with your clarification, my comment was unnecessary.

Good luck mate. Optimize about 60% for income and 40% for passion and satisfaction, including all work-life balance/commute effort. Money can buy you the time to work on things you give a shit about. In tension, if you give a shit about your work you need less time and money to do your passion in your spare time.
We ordered the 500 MHz model when it was first announced. When it didn't come out as originally scheduled, we were offered to continue waiting or take a 450 MHz model. We opted to wait. We did eventually get our 500 MHz model and I used that computer for at least 5 years. It was an awesome machine for the time, even late. It was a great machine for the early versions of Mac OS X and the transition from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X.
It seems that Supernova is the name of "the new Thunderbird UI". Oh please not. I'm so jaded regarding updates to core functionality software.

Is there a list of actual problems with the old Thunderbird UI? Ones that could not be resolved without a rewrite? Otherwise, what is the goal of updating this extremely functional UI?
Yes, but my concern is that the problem I am trying to solve won't make a unicorn but surely make a few million dollar business. I wonder if this would be exciting enough for a tech co-founder. What do you think?

As I understand it, due to lens setup this shouldn’t actually be the case. Iirc the view for say a Valve Index ends up at something like 60cm.

Here’s some actual problems that are harder:

* while your eyes remain accommodated to focus on that distance, it no longer corresponds with the way they track objects close or far away, by pointing closer together etc

* lack of correspondence between movement on screen and in the real world (usually translation, rather than rotation which tracks head position) for non-roomscale content (i.e. games where you move around larger scenes) causes motion sickness.

You have a point. On the other hand, considerable part of maintainers burnout comes from arguing with well-meaning strangers that come with PRs that are (usually) useful, but don't fit the established codebase well. By only accepting PRs from members of a collective, the amount of drama is reduced.

OP suggests that having a large company behind a software tool (Microsoft in full control of Playright) is a positive thing and is an advantage over Selenium.

I tend to see that negatively. Community driven projects (or non profit organisation behind them) like Python, Postgres, Firefox always are more trustworthy and likely to last longer in general.
No. Stock market may look like a ponzi where one buys stocks in companies only in the hope of selling them to higher value to someone else at a later date, the value itself doesn't come from that. The value comes from future prospects of a company's actual business. A company's shares can't go on rising infinitely if it has no solid business. Why is Meta sinking? The fundamentals of its core business are looking vulnerable. Why do companies like Apple/Microsoft/Google/Amazon eventually rise? Because they are market leaders, have strong profits and they keep innovating.

Even if a company is loss making and doesn't pay dividend, there will be someone who would be interested in acquiring the company to actually run it and not just just to flip it to a bigger buyer at a later date. That is why Musk paid $44B for Twitter. Because after all is said and done, it is still the most influential social network amongst the people who matter. Owning it has a value for someone like Musk. That value comes from the activity that Twitter conducts and not the demand for its shares.

In crypto value comes only from the demand. In stock, demand comes from the value being generated by the company.
Values come first.

Can confirm. Have many GitHub stars. They can't pay your bills. Converting stars to money is an interesting process. And not asking for donations, that doesn't work except for the top 0.001% of projects. You have to find a large company that wants support and will pay you the equivalent of a salary as a consulting fee. That's a starting point. If you're more ambitious than that you can try sell the same deal to other companies, personal experience says it's really hard. If you're more ambitious than that you can build a product on top of the open source project or sell an open core version. Also very hard. Then there's the whole VC funded route, I did that. It's a whole other thing not worth discussing here.

Open source sustainability is hard. I do think it comes down to the goals of the project lead and what level of financing it will require to sustain that. I have yet to see anything outside of company sponsorship or VC funding that makes it work. These individual donations don't scale. And even the odd $1k/month on patreon isn't enough. Let's face it, people working on open source are no less skilled than FANG employees, maybe even more so if producing code that's directly consumed. Open source should pay far better but I get the feeling it's still like free saas services on the internet. Each has a nuanced monetization path.
I thought my comment made clear that liquidity is a valid concept, and there are valid times to bring it up -- just that most usages in these crises are by people who are throwing the term around hastily, without sufficient basis to isolate liquidity per se as "the problem".

If you agree with that, you're agreeing with my original comment, even and especially if you (correctly) believe that some problems are rightly called "liquidity crises".

As it turns out, FTX was not merely illiquid; no amount of time or low-interest loans would have coordinated the cash flows, and yet every apologist was happy to identify the core deficiency as one of "liquidity", rather than honestly say what they could reasonably have known, at the time, from their perspective: no money, with specifics to be filled in later.

>If a dealer owes a customer 500 BTC that they’re trying to withdraw today, they need liquid Bitcoins, not money.

Even granting the tenuous propositions that Bitcoin isn't a money nor could be purchased therewith, the right diagnosis still wouldn't be "they don't have enough liquidity", but rather "they don't have enough Bitcoin", since the former is specifically making a (bold, overconfident) assertion that the exchange is good for the money if only they could get a few loans. That assertion was false, and almost certainly lacked sufficient basis from its proponent even at the time.
Maybe that would put a stop at importing stuff like left pad.

A lot of cryptocurrencies are part of projects that I believe in. I see the code, see commits, discussions, details of the project being used in the wild. I don't blame the people behind the project for ridiculous fluctuations in their coin's price or blind hysteria in the space.

Bitcoin's project is that it's a collectible with limited supply.
My personal boots-on-the-ground experience has been that I'm earning a little more than twice as much now as I was 10 years ago...but it sure doesn't feel that way. My buying power is pretty much the same.
Yes, I'm sure it makes sense for them to have this perspective. And it also makes sense to me that if I'm not going to get the bugs I encounter fixed, even if I make the effort to fix them myself, then my effort is better spent on a project where that will happen. Their loss.
Taking this opportunity to sell my idea about how to "fix" part of the TLS cert trust process...

CAs can all issue certs for any domain, right? I mean, there's these hacks that are supposed to restrict that, but it's optional. The browser trusts any cert that a CA has signed. And in order for a CA to let you create a cert, they have hokey, problematic methods to allow you to prove that you, temporarily, at the moment, control the IP space that is pointed to by whatever DNS server a given CA trusts, and hope that BGP and DNS do not lie to the CA. So 1) BGP has to be trusted, 2) the DNS has to be trusted, 3) the CA has to be trusted, and 4) a temporary check of an IP address needs to show something to the CA that they think is valid (among other hokey validation methods, like an e-mail to some predetermined address at a domain, or an HTTP GET to the aforementioned IP).

That's a lot of stuff that we hope is all valid and not been tampered with! (In fact, these things [and more] do get tampered with, and have been exploited in the past to generate certs illicitly) So how can we make things a little more consistent and secure? Well all of this trades on the idea that the CA is trying to verify that you, the person asking for a cert, really own and control the domain name that you are asking for a cert for. That's tricky, because the registrar and the nameserver are the only entities that can authoritatively say who owns and controls the doman.

So... why don't we just confirm, cryptographically, with the registrar and the nameserver, that the requestor of the cert is who they say they are? If the registrar keeps a key that the domain owner has uploaded [or signed], and the nameserver keeps a key the nameserver owner has uploaded [or signed], and you create a CSR (including what CA should generate your cert), get it signed by both the registrar and nameserver, and send it to the CA, the CA can verify it with the registrar and the nameserver, and the cert can include the CSR signature from the registrar and nameserver. So now anyone who gets the cert can confirm 1) who was supposed to issue it, 2) that the real domain owner signed the request, 3) that the CA confirmed all this when it issued the cert, without depending on BGP or DNS or HTTP.

.....this will never happen, of course, because there are vested interests, and it would take a lot of hand-wringing and agreements and modifications to policies and new software and all kinds of stuff to make that happen. So we will continue relying on BGP, DNS, and the integrity of a couple hundred CAs, to make sure nobody ever 'exceeds their authority' and issues a cert they shouldn't have.

Have read both in college and enjoyed them thoroughly. I remember talking to my undergrad advisor, raving about Cat's Cradle, and asking him if he'd read it or wants to read it, and he looked at me and said something to the effect of "I don't need to read a book by a Preacher my own age" or something to that effect, and it really is quite a preachy book, as are all of his books. It makes a big impact on younger people, though. So it's in the bucket of books I remember enjoying, and wouldn't want to spoil that memory by rereading.

It's a game changer for an industry that it sounds like you've just never interacted with.

> Like many of its competitors, it believed the rise in online activity during the coronavirus pandemic was a permanent shift

not at all! they, like many of its competitors, simply made the correct strategic investments in themselves, at the time. growth is valued and so you lean in to it. if you don’t, you’ll suffer as your competitors take market share from you. you almost have no choice. (just as how in the startup world, VCs distort the market for would be sustainable bootstrappers.)

and why not? there aren’t any negative consequences with a non unionized, at will workforce. layoffs are just a thing. labor is there, almost by definition, to be exploited. labor writ large aren’t the same as people, to be cared for and respected with harsh consequences to be hedged or mitigated against.

so it’s not that they, or any of their competitors, “believed” in any tectonic shift, ie made an error in judgment. it’s that the very system they operate in practically demands such behavior.

the investment in VR OTOH is where the strategic genius or folly lies. we won’t know which for awhile yet.
