It is. But it's a very strong one, where it's harder to blur the boundaries because you're putting your code into a service or another.

And that's the advantage. Not because it's easier to apply correctly. But because it's harder to do it badly.

And if you do it badly, it will show and the product performance will be a mess.

SendCutSend (and probably others) do laser cutting on gasket grade cork and ship orders relatively quickly. You could probably use them as your fulfillment system, leaving you the work to make the gasket database and website. More work or a more expensive fulfillment service would be needed to brand your orders.

They also make all sorts of stuff out of various metals, paint the metals, thread them, etc. They have greatly expanded my capabilities as a hobbyist who is not a machinist.
But if the AI has been trained on open source licensed code and occasionally can produce verbatim copies of said code, shouldn't the weights of the AI then also become open source under the same license?

You could argue that training is a form of compilation, and the weights are a derivative work.

> I’ve also noticed a weird tendency to downplay theft lately, either through projecting a theoretical moral justification on to the shoplifter or by insinuating that retail stores are evil corporations and therefore deserve no sympathy.

Well... it's not that weird. The big chain stores like Walmart ruthlessly exploit their workers to the point of them being forced to apply for food stamps [1], while the owner class makes literally a dozen billions of dollars a year in net profits [2]. Additionally, Walmart is infamous for killing off small businesses around them [3]. So, I don't have much sympathy at all for these corporations and Walmart in particular.

With ever more and more people being unable to make a honest living - over half the US has less than 1000$ in savings [4] - it's no surprise that shoplifting for survival is on the rise and at least somewhat accepted in society.

Unfortunately, small stores get caught up in the crossfire as they can't afford to bear the rising cost of shoplifting.

We need better wages for the 99% and higher taxes for the 1% so that we can get away from forcing people to steal to survive.

People don't like sudden changes, that's it.

Musk founded SpaceX and bought Tesla when it had like 6 employees, so everyone working in those two companies is used to his management style.

Twitter was a huge and sort-of stagnant company, they must feel as if they were hit by a hurricane, and this filters out to all sorts of media including HN.

Also, Twitter is all about publicity. We don't see what's happening within SpaceX, but we all watch whatever happens within Twitter in real time.
why not? I know in the USA the vast majority of aluminum is recycled. I would much rather see drinks in aluminum/glass containers.

It feels like activitypub is the true web 3.0 or at least the start of a road towards it?

but is it too tied to "social" web platforms as we have come to know and dislike? I mean its got explicitly hardwired the concepts of "followers" and "liking" and all the inanity that this has unleashed upon us. Now of course these are just "words" representing underlying software functionality but the mindset of designers and the constraints or blind spots they embed on software plays a huge role.

consider the possibility that a more democratic / federated model of a broken concept will not deliver us from the social media fiasco.
That’s quite well-written.

For myself, I’ve learned to avoid dogma, but not let it get in the way of learning. I’ve found that I never stop learning new stuff, and realize that I’ve “been doing it wrong,” more often than I like to admit.

Frequently, I have found that “The New Way!!!” actually just formalizes or names a pattern that I’ve been using for some time.

I’ve come to learn that common sense tends to have obscure provenance.
I think about this a lot, and I think my core beef with stuff like this is:

- Engineering team has a problem

- Engineer/Lead/Architect reads a book

- Whole team builds an in-house, bespoke framework around the book's ideas

- They now have 2 problems

I'm very against in-house frameworks; I think they almost never deliver on value, and you should just use Rails/Django/etc (again, you almost certainly won't outdo them).

But if you use a framework that implements DDD (or SOA, or whatever), I'm very OK with them. For instance, I think that Django is basically DDD/CQRS/SOA: views are the service layer, models are entities, querysets are repos, REST is defacto JSON-RPC, etc. And you do start to realize the benefits: engineers aren't bogged down with irrelevant stuff like request (de)serializing, they don't have to make architecture decisions on the fly, you don't have to document/test the framework, etc. etc.
And yet, even the Bible has provisions for poor people [1]:

You're getting downvoted but you are correct. If humans cared they would demand aluminum/glass containers, and only the most recyclable of plastics be in use.
This particular parasite has the effect described in the article. But our gut is full of other species of so-called "parasites" who live in harmony with the host. Human body is a symbiotic organism. So, if this parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, is capable of altering or defining the behavior of the host, can we generalize this observation and say that human behavior is defined by parasites and symbiotic organisms living in the gut?
>But do you know what helps? Having physical boundaries you can't cross so easily.

Rarely have I disagreed with something more strongly :)

If a team lacks the discipline/skill/wherewithal to create good boundaries within a single code base when stakes are at their lowest, they absolutely don't have the skill or discipline to do ahead of time, across N code bases, and with a network in between all of them.

Breaking your system apart too early, and when you know the least about it, and with the rationale that doing so will magically stop the problems that a lack of engineering skill creates, has, at least in the small slice of the world I've encountered, resulted in nightmarish levels of complexity (some of which I'm directly responsible for the reasons stated! (whoops!)).

That's actually a good idea and would make it easier to create GDPR solutions.

You are missing the point. A modern human may not drink water for weeks and not want water. (First hand I went through coffee/alcohol/soft drinks periods at the uni, I know I'm not the only one.)

Thirst is an emergency signal not a useful metric to depend on planning water intake.

More and more countries questioning why they need to base their foreign transaction on the US Dollar.
Could this mounting unrest be as a result of the seeming inability of the US Federal bank in checking inflation of the US Dollar.

Also, some of these Nations can no longer determine what benefit it is to them is using the US Dollar as their reserve currency and trading currency.
Some nations might have alternative properties/currencies that would favour their external trade but yet they are stock with the Dollar and must defer to the US in all that concerns it.

I would really love someone more knowledgeable to make a prediction as to where all these could be going.

Do you see a country like Saudi going off the USD?

Well now we're just arguing semantics, but here's Dictionary.com's definition of fraud: "deceit, trickery, sharp practice, or breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage."

I don't know if getting a second job wouldn't be fraud in a strict legalistic sense, but it definitely meets the above definition.

Anyway, if you wanna do it, go ahead. I'm not going to risk it myself, but I've worked at plenty of companies which were badly-enough run that I can imagine getting away with this kind of behaviour. I've also worked for employers who treated me like garbage, so I can understand why some people might have no objection to treating their employer like garbage.
I don't care about fraud or not fraud but how is it even possible to have two full time salaried works ? Don't the companies check the work he is doing ? There is something fishy
While I agree that it's morally wrong to steal, you lost me at "All theft is wrong". I think there's a deep reason why stories about moral (or at least mostly ambiguous) thieves are so prevalent. Two major examples are Robin Hood and more recently Andor, both about stealing as a way to rebel against an overwhelmingly powerful and negative authority.

The nomadic way of live also turned to same way it does on the Eurasion steppe, all of a sudden you can have large scale raiding and proto-empires. Those tribes that could buy weapons from Europe and have horses could basically exploit the others. This likely transformed the societies in lots of ways but its hard to know because we do not have good records of those times.
This is why the managers are on us with grooming and estimations and then are unhappy when every minute is not accounted for. Stop stealing, you're making the job much worse for the others - and that's what actually shortens our lives.
Nothing about your explanation refutes that this is a very scary issue.

Because of the other aspects which could be coded in. You can audit how much people get, you could fractionalise a bug bounty, you cut out the middleman (payment processor), you enable people in poorer countries access to becoming developers.

You’re using patreon who are taking a cut and there’s no guarantee they won’t disappear with people’s money and they rely on the donor not really caring if they get something of value for the money (you don’t have a real recourse other than to cancel).

We’ve recently been discussing a bug in the Qt toolkit, we couldn’t afford to pay for it to be fixed, but we could contribute with other small businesses to get it solved. A smart contract could automate that in a trust-less way.

It's good if those frameworks are very high quality and very thoroughly debugged like django is but if you have to spend an appreciable amount of time peeking under the hood they quickly become a nightmare.

I think about 9 out of 10 home grown frameworks end up in the nightmare bucket.

I'm super skeptical of frameworks that dont really "do" anything also. Django handles web and database and saves you from a whole load of boilerplate crap but any DDD framework would basically just be an opinionated code mold, a bit like all those dependency inversion frameworks. 100% straitjacket but with none of the boilerplate written for you.
> Where I live, this is entirely illegal

It's illegal to work two jobs ? Are you sure about that? Can you point to a specific law ?

It may be against the employment contract but I think it's totally wrong to say it's illegal. That would mean the government has legislated against having two jobs.

> I am under the impression that employment contracts arent really a thing in the USA.

I think for most tech companies in the USA they actually do have contracts. The contract will state things like medical benefits ...etc. They are less common for working in a local bar or suchlike.
But if you mandate vaccines, because "if you're not vaccinated, you'll infect grandma", somehow testing if vaccinated people can transmit it, should be a priority.

I haven't checked, but I think the gaps between his movie releases roughly doubled with each release.

There are some scenes in these movies that scream "Kubrick". There always seems to be a perspective shot in which the camera is pointing down the centre of some tunnel or corridor. In Paths of Glory it's a trench; in 2001, it's the aisle of the shuttle. It's usually some grand corridor.
I am not familiar with any other reason besides the fact that stack-pointer arithmetics are done through a dedicated HW, called stack-engine, which sits in the CPU frontend. This effectively means that stack-pointer uOps are going to be get executed quicker because they do not have to go all the way through the CPU backend processing. This also saves some of the bandwidth on the CPU backend side allowing other uOps to be processed sooner.
> Alternativer take: vendors should get their drivers upstreamed so they don't have to maintain them much

This is ideology. In real-life, some OEMs are binded by NDAs (so they can't do all what they'd like), and the split between hardware and software is quite blurry (chipset vendors don't want to disclose their secrets by open-sourcing their code).

I wish like you that more code would be supported in mainline kernel (just as I wish every single board would support SystemReady/UEFI or any similar solution (ideally more lightweight) so that they could boot a generic kernel just like x86 does (and regardless of the availability of the proper dts for this specific board, which may be hard to download after several years)). But this is not the world we live in.

Because of this "stable-api-nonsense" ideology, we end up with piles of junk (e.g. all old smartphones and boards that become unsupported after 2-3 years... and we only have one planet !) while we can still easily use 10-15 years-old PCs.
My contract says that I'm expected to work Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm with a one hour lunch break (so 40 hours) but it also has some vague, ambiguous language about "occasionally" working "additional hours" as business demands it.

Perhaps the definition is that to be a fence you have had to buy the good and take ownership (and responsibility) for the goods yourself. You then resell them to pass on ownership. Otherwise you're just providing services, whether that's storage, transport or whatever. So do Amazon take ownership, or do they just sell them on your behalf?
