Perhaps something that's needed is suppliers you can pay to provide a warranty for open source, who share revenue with the relevant projects (with a corporate structure that guarantees this, some flavor of B corp). So I pay Foo, Foo pays Daniel, and Foo stays on top of curl's releases & makes sure that Daniel is getting the support he needs (putting out bounties or buying him a MacBook if he isn't) and that malicious code hasn't slipped into circulation.

I'm just spitballing, I'm skeptical this would work, but if it were attempted, something critical would be it being a partnership and not that the supplier becomes the boss of the open source projects.
> both points can be right.

Well, yes and no. What actually happened was that a united Europe was the desired outcome, with some discussion about the degree of unity. But they realised back in the 1950s that it would take some time, and they started doing it by steps, starting with the industry. So in that sense it was both. But that’s not what people mean when they moan about the EU being a perversion of the EEC which was supposed to be purely economic. It is usually followed by how the evil EU duped them and stole their sovereignty. It was not. The economic policies were tools to achieve a political goal.

> but the original impetus was not federalism

The original impetus was a political union to avoid war and an “ever-closer union”. While federalists were never the majority, the target was clearly integration. Again, this is in the preamble of the Rome treaty establishing the EEC.

> Hence the need for political union.

Again, this is backwards. Political union required economic union as a first step.

Prompt:
You will play the role of a fictional left-radical politician. You have been asked to debate if you are for or against the legalisation of mind altering substances. Give a brief speech on your standing.

Response:
As a left-radical politician, I believe in the rights of individuals to make their own decisions about their own bodies. That includes the right to use mind-altering substances if they so choose.

I also recognize that the war on drugs has disproportionately impacted marginalized communities and has done little to actually reduce drug use. Legalizing and regulating mind-altering substances would allow for better control and potential harm reduction, as well as providing a source of revenue through taxation.

Furthermore, we should prioritize harm reduction over punishment. Instead of criminalizing drug use, we should provide resources for those struggling with addiction and prioritize treating it as a public health issue rather than a criminal justice one.

Overall, I believe in the legalization and regulation of mind-altering substances as a way to promote individual freedom and prioritize harm reduction over punishment.

There's a difference, as an individual you wouldn't own a large percentage of the local real estate, just a small part.

Investors who buy up 40% of the market, blacklist tenants, and price fix to set a price floor or remove supply by taking rentals off the market. Those are the main issues.

The state governments need to re-implement taxes such that deductions and write-offs do not apply beyond a certain number of properties that are not owner occupied.

As for prices, Prices are high because the banking sector has not been held to account for their unlawful actions, and politician's can't balance their budget.

They have used that to enrich themselves through various frauds, and kickback schemes. The land on 280 has little to no natural water, that's largely why its undeveloped, and job centers are scarce.

Property taxes don't work because you inevitably price locals out of homes and setting a maximum on the tax simply ensures local government increases to that max every year. Long term residents are left in the lurch.

I have parents who have a home up there and their property tax has increased 2% of the value every year for at least the last 10 years. They are paying almost a full salary ($40,000) to keep the home. That's just in property taxes each year and that is just for a single modest home with both having to continue working just to get by.

If somebody's expecting something other than a C string then we unsurprisingly have gratuitous complications. If everyone agrees on the C string though, it just interoperates as-is. Code compiled for some 16-bit microcontroller can just shove the C string into its transmit buffer, and on the other end, code compiled for 64 bit big-endian Power PC receiver just uses it as-is.

> But screaming “I am not a supplier” in this context is like yelling “I am not a driver” while driving a car.

Except driving is active. You must take acts to drive, it is a continuous commitment. There’s an expectation that if you’re on the highway driving someone they won’t jump out the window and let you crash. Ideally even they’ll get you where you wanna go.

Sharing some software for free is passive. You can share something and walk away. They can even die and the software is still shared. It’s a single action. Push publish, walk away. There may be an expectation of continued support, but it’s based on historic behavior not on actual commitments.

Entering a business relationship is active, and there should be an expectation of support (based on contracts of course).

You do raise a very fair point. I did want to argue that idiot and other such words are 'different' from the r word but admittedly, I do not have a rebuttal.

It does make me question though, where did society choose to draw the line and why is the line drawn there. There definitely is a lot of talk about how the r word is harmful but I think it's fair to say that isn't the case for idiot and stupid for example.

Thanks for giving me some food for thought, cheers and have a happy new year :)

> Although Elon Musk likes his LSD or so I’ve heard, and a ‘trip’ is basically a self induced euphoric psychosis which can be compared to a schizophrenic episode.

You might want to revisit the literature. That idea, known as pychotomimetism, is an old one, and was disproved in the case of LSD many decades ago.

However, you are not solely to blame as the mainstream drug literature continues to promote this error (much of it is bunk), and even the Wikipedia page on pychotomimetism continues to list LSD (without a source, of course).

Although it’s been a while since I took a gander, I’m fairly certain that the leading researchers stopped treating LSD as a psychotomimetic in the late 1970s to early 1980s. The idea you are defending came out of the 1950s. A lot has changed in our understanding since that time.

The more current paradigm for LSD borders on its therapeutic and entheogenic properties, which are admittedly difficult to categorize and verbalize beyond certain metaphors, analogies, and mythological symbols. As an atheist, it interests me, because when you take LSD, you realize that this experience is the root of religion.

And if you’re someone who considers themselves religious and you’ve never had a psychedelic experience, well, you’re missing out on an opportunity to truly understand what religion is and what it’s all about, and how it works in the human mind.

The experience itself goes far beyond that oddity, of course. In addition to that insight, you will also receive a new perspective on the arts, as every imaginable design, pattern, and image will appear during your trip.

There are, of course, many other highlights one could discuss. For me, I’m convinced it helped me recover memories from my childhood, and some people will tell you it can lead to closure on things in your life by promoting acceptance and peace of mind. Obviously, it’s not for everyone, and should be used wisely and with caution, just like anything else.
As an American, I can tell you that most states generally consider each other rivals, and oftentimes bitter. Texas would like nothing to do with California other than to help knock them down some pegs, for example.

But you know what? If some outsider were to pose a serious threat to any of the states, we're all going to band together and tell said outsider to get wrecked and go pound sand. That same Texas would be among the first to come to California's aid and defence. The only one who gets to dunk on Americans are fellow Americans, nobody else.
> Are the countries supposed to split up and go back to competing with each other in an increasingly harsher global market? How on earth are the small EU countries supposed to compete?

By devaluing their currency to make their exports competitive and improve their unemployment. The European Union's currency umbrella is precisely why the PIGS countries have been suffering ever since the 2011 Euro debt crisis with general economic stagnation, and why the UK could escape it.

Nothing stops countries from making trade agreements with one another and still maintaining their economic sovereignty.
When I was a kid The Wizard of Oz on telly was an annual tradition at Christmas. Eventually it died out.
This is a kind of modern day replacement (the annual internet post about this odd tradition).
There is an unseen alignment of incentives. The typical FOSS dev community wants its project to be taken seriously. They anticipate competition with other FOSS projects which are commercially backed in many cases.

And "So-and-so Corp. couldn't do it without us" often proves a high standard of being taken seriously.

Examples of that (I think I saw a few earlier today) are all over the place, even here on HN.

The messaging idea is interesting but I wonder how wording like "may vanish at any time" would play into these software community goals of gaining qualitative legitimacy in the face of de facto intra-FOSS-world competition. It seems like a more creative method might be ideal.

But this is mostly true if commercial adoption is seen as a goal, and many projects make it clear that they 1) don't gaf about that and 2) are ready to negotiate a higher standard if the negotiated outcome suits their yet-to-be-communicated needs.

That's also not a very inviting model and it perpetuates a sort of harsh dichotomy around the issue of reliability and support in those cases.

It's really unfortunate because this dichotomy also makes FOSS seem less reliable from the business perspective on the outside, which isn't necessarily desired either.

This is a fair point. The analogy in the slides doesn't say anything about the veracity of mathematical propositions. While the notion of computable is mostly agreed on, it's unclear, for instance, if we should be doing mathematics in a world where the continuum hypothesis is true, false, or independent of our theory.

With that said, one can still adopt the programming language analogy for particular models that the various foundations capture. So you don't have to solve the multiverse problem to use the analogy.[0]

I am surprised to see that I accomplished way more of my goals this year than I thought I did. Some of my goals:

- Learn to play a musical instrument. I started playing piano and learned enough to play some good music.
- Learn to play some sports. Learnt racquetball and pickleball and had a blast playing them.
- Build a small indie hacker company. Built a side project and about to release it to wider audience.
- Resolved some health issues that were bothering me forever
- Filed a number of patents at my workplace

Of course I failed to accomplish some goals - like blogging, reading books, exercising everyday, and doing some online courses.

My observations are that - writing down your goals and reviewing them every now and then can make a huge difference!
That sounds more or less like Red Hat (I suppose now IBM). I don't entirely know the ecosystem, but I believe they give some money to the Keycloak project (which my company uses). I'm sure they sponsor others, but I assume the main contribution is developers - if you look at commits on the average project github, there's a good chance Red Hat will be well represented, and for core Linux components, they'll probably be at the top. Intel will also have a significant presence. Sun was big on this back in the day as well.

> but the whole SSD capacity shown by Windows is 930GB.

Because the OS shows you drive capacity in power of two units, while the drive manufacturers advertise drive capacity in power of ten units. And the small difference in size between the two units adds up as the size of the drive grows.

A power of ten 1T size drive is about 930GB of space when measured using power of two units. Hard drive manufacturers have been using power of ten units for advertising capacity for about 25 years now.

There's nothing much to show here, this is common on most drives. SSDs that are 1tb tend to round off at the 960gb mark for a variety of reasons, and the remaining space is probably Windows installing 4 or 5 versions of Candy Crush for you. Like the other comment said, your iGPU also needs memory for a framebuffer and some basic windowing capabilities, which should take up around a gig on most modern systems.

Your reaction to this is off-base, and wishing ill on anyone for a rash misconception is a bad habit to get into. Roll with it, if you need more storage then upgrade to a 1920gb (2tb in Big Box stores) SSD instead.
I think the largest issues with the EU is that it is fundamentally flawed for one main reason: all these countries are tied to the hip to each other due to the currency and singe market, but cannot control the others economies or spending. It's like splitting bills with your unemployed brother in law.

For a common central bank and currency union, each country de facto has to give into a federalism of central debt issuance and budgetary powers. We have this in the United States: the federal government can run a deficit and print money, individual states cannot. We have a republic and California (most populous state) gets more representation than Wyoming (least populous).

For the EU to work long term, every country is going to have to give up more and more power / fiscal autonomy to Brussels each year for the currency to work. What happened when Greece was going to default on its debt? Germany stepped in, bailed them out, and started stealing their assets (airports, ports) because they weren't going to let the currency tank. Granted, Greece has some issues but whether they like it or not Greece defaulting on their debt affects the whole currency block. Greece issued its own debt.

The reality of the eurozone is that it has made rich countries exports cheaper (Germany, France) and made marginal countries poorer (Italy, Spain, Portugal).

If you grew up in Croatia speaking Croat and possibly English, do you really think the Greek labor market is open to you? Could you in all practicality relocate to Belgium and start a business?

Anti globalism sentiments are in every country these days. I personally don't see euro countries giving any more power to the European Commission, and I see the project ultimately failing.

My 2 cents. I don't have a dog in this race, and don't really think the EU is "good" or "bad."
If Apple includes your program as part of the software it sells along with the Mac, then Apple should be sending you well-tested pull requests for any problems its users find, not just giving you debugging resources.
If Apple is distributing free and open source software as part of the base operating system, certainly they should be taking on some of the support burden. This would be a different story if Apple wasn't shipping curl directly.
If wikipedia says something is controversial, then that something is controversial if for no other reason than because there is controversy on wikipedia about it.

This is different than claiming "wikipedia says it's [right/wrong], so it must be [right/wrong]" Demonstrating that an idea is controversial is much easier than proving that idea right or wrong.
