Congrats on the launch!

I see many potential use cases for this project:

1. As a developer, I have had customers paying me to contribute improvements to open source projects they depend on, this case is very tricky because there is no guarantee that the upstream project will accept the change.

2. As a company, we have had the need for some improvements to our projects that we don't have time for handling, a platform like this could have helped us.

On the other hand, I see some potential issues:

1. As a developer, it is hard to invest the time on a task when there is no guarantee for the payment, imagine I start investing 1 week in completing a bounty just to see someone else getting its PR merged before I finish mine, have you considered adding a locking mechanism? let's say, if I get the bounty assigned, I get up X time to deliver, otherwise, the bounty can go to someone else.

2. As a company, I'm not sure that many companies would be willing to commit to the 23% fee, maybe there is a way to structure this in a friendlier way? for example, taking a 20% fee up to $Y, even Upwork has a different % based on the amount paid by a company to a developer (staring at 20%, going up to 5%).

3. As a company, assuming a bounty can get locked to a dev, if I get many people interested in a bounty, how do I decide which one to pick? displaying historic data about devs could help.

In any case, good luck!

EDIT: I also haven't seen how a dispute would be handled, let's say, a dev sends a PR but a company rejected it but silently takes the code to use it. The inverse case could happen, a dev submitting low-quality work and demanding the company to pay.
Yep. There's a meme that always pops up on these threads that changes made to Firefox to "be more like Chrome" were the catalyst for its decline, but that's clearly not true if you look at the data; if anything, that meme reverses cause and effect. It also doesn't make sense: people wouldn't switch to Chrome if they disliked the changes Firefox was making to become more like it.

What is "european culture"? :)

Honest question in good faith, as even some individual EU countries don't have a consistent culture (think e.g. Germany) and at least for my very tiny slice of Europe, the culture and regional customs are still very much alive! :D

Queue modern day social media... It has its uses, but I feel like the brainrot and lessening of attention span it induces (and not to mention everything else like polarization, cult-like behaviours etc) is basically not worth the small amount of benefit it actually provides.

Poor implementation made it not unstable, it made it returning wrong data. If the thread safety were implemented then it wouldn't have anything positive but at least it wouldn't crash, even in absence of a compression facilities. Alas...

> stopping ALL talk of war (regardless of whom it is in support of) is desirable.

It's a private platform isn't it? By conventional logic, twitter has the right to decide what sort of content they promote. If a fashion magazine or a twitting website decide they don't want to cover a war, that is a perfectly valid business decision.

It doesn't really matter anyway. Twitter isn't as important as the media says it is. Only a small fraction of the population actually use it, but it just happens that this small fraction includes people in the media, so they think it's much more important than it actually is and give it undo coverage. And no, I don't think that makes twitter actually important in a round-about way, because when most people see "somebody tweeted something" articles they roll their eyes at the media scrapping the bottom of the barrel for news. The media is blind to their twitter bias, but most others cringe. If Elon Musk ends up running twitter straight into the ground, nothing of value will be lost.
This is a good articulation of the problem. It’s effectively business-class shovelware.

But my concern is less about the people writing or publishing this drivel than about the people who consume every drop of it, hoping for some “insight” into “strategic thinking”. Before anyone accuses me of attacking a straw man, I have personally met dozens of such people.

What pains me the most is that there is something out there that can give them what they want; a classic liberal-arts education would actually teach them to think with some rigor. But they’re stuck. They can’t think well enough to dig themselves out of this hole of mediocrity, and it’s an unsettling mix of tragic and repulsive.

So in true HBR form, if you find yourself reading “thought leaders” or looking to improve your “strategic thinking”, please — for all our sakes - read a book. (NYT bestseller doesn’t count.)

I highly recommend “walking to lunch”. Assuming you eat at home just pick a certain location nearby to walk to and back either before or after you eat, tying it to lunch made it more reliable, at least for me. I don’t do it anymore now that I have the habit down and walk plenty every day but it really helped me get started.
We have many French cultures in Canada besides Quebecois. There are Acadian people in The Maritimes they are not Quebecois many forced to flee to Louisiana and are called Cajuns. Non-Quebecois French people in Ontario and the prairies, plus Metis (French+First Nations) on the prairies too.

Other distinct cultures in Canada would be Newfoundland a separate nation for years. Plus all the First Nations across Canada and Inuit in the northern territories and Labrador goes without saying.

You could even add the 500,000 Ukrainians on the prairies a culture going back probably 150 years.

Chinese culture too first starting in the province of BC since probably 1800 older than my own Irish culture the majority who only came here in the mid 1800s to 1870s.

Supervisory management actively impedes work. Managers should be planners, resource allocators and stakeholder communicators. They should work to bring their team into alignment with their org's goals and their company's goals. By attempting to be a supervisor, it sets the wrong incentives within the team.

This is also the reason why penalizing performance reviews don't work. It causes lower morale within the time and nobody really feels aligned with the company. Everyone is out there looking out for themselves.
Because his rule and values look more similar (at least from what I can see from outside the country) to the ones in Nazi/Fascist regimes than in Soviet ones. Stalin wasn't Russian, his rhetoric was about transnational collectivism; whereas Putin is firmly in the traditional nationalistic mould, "my nation first".

Also, Stalin organized his underlings and allies in a monolithic fashion, inside the party; punishments were mostly distributed with demotions or convictions, as internal to the system. Putin keeps his oligarchs at arm's length, in charge of companies and institutions that are nominally independent, occasionally even abroad; punishments are inflicted by "fall from balcony" and indirect ostracism, again closer to the Nazi model than the Soviet one.

It’s the aggregate of culture(s) in Europe. Delineate them as you wish, or not. It’s irrelevant to their point.

I sympathize with concerns of mythologizing culture into existence, as is usually done in the process of nation state formation, but that only succeeds because culture is such a crucial component of human life. This sort of pedantry can get in the way of engaging with its importance.
Absolutely, Netflix is not a non-profit by any means.

that's a great question, thank you Drunken_Founder! haven't experienced something like this. because everything is public, we think that acts as a deterrence for people to do what you described. in addition, we closely keep track of bounty activity, and so if we see that a bounty has been completed (per the spec/acceptance criteria) but not rewarded for a while, we'd reach out to the maintainers to check in. if we ever determine any foul play, it's only fair and reasonable to un-feature that org from bounty discovery on Algora and suspend their use of our app.

If you squint hard enough, the underlying object capability system as privilege boundary concept still does live on.

In hardware the 432 went on to inspire 16 and 32 protected modes on x86. There it was inspiration for just about anything involving the GDT and the LDT including fine grained memory segments, hardware task switching of Task State Segments, and virtual dispatch through Task Gates.

But a large point of the RISC revolution was that these kinds of abstractions in microcode don't make sense anymore when you have ubiquitous I$s. Rather than a fixed length blob of vendor code that's hard to update, let end users create whatever abstractions they feel make sense in regular (albeit if privileged) code. Towards that end the 90s and 2000s had an explosion of supervisor mode enforced object capability systems. These days the most famous is probably sel4; there are a lot of parallels between sel4's syscall layer and the iAPX432's object capability interface between user code and microcode. In a lot of ways the most charitable way to look at the iAPX432 microcode was as a very early microkernel in ROM.

> Wait, do you know that most printers have the ability to clean these clogs (by wasting a large chunk of the ink)? You don't really need to throw the cartridge away. This is why I say that printing the rated amount of pages is difficult, since these cleanup operations waste a large chunk of the ink.

That sometimes works. The last HP I bought, cartridges would easily start choking after a few months of non-use, and no amount of cleaning would stop prints from having soft lines/etc. Unfortunately my printing was so infrequent that I'd be lucky to get 50 pages out of a cartridge.

The only environment where I've seen Inkjet cartridges actually 'get fully used' in the last 15 years or so has been in CAD. [0]

Compare and contrast to my Father, who goes through ebbs and flows of printing. Since switching to Brother, his overall 'ink/toner' costs have gone down since there's less waste, also Brother drivers are a bit less offensive than HP.

[0] - I'll add that while the quality of HP Plotters went down substantially between the era of the OG DesignJet 750C and the DesignJet 4000. Sure, the latter was faster, had a way nicer spittoon setup[1] and separate nozzle/ink cartridges, but had a number of design issues that prevented any real use of batch plotting. Any time we did a large series of prints unsupervised it would wind up feeding output back in and jamming the whole thing. [2]

[1] - Tl;dr- where excess ink went between jobs. Part of me wonders if the lack of such bits in consumer printers leads to more clogged nozzles.

[2] - Nothing like telling your boss your print job broke a 2 week old printer that cost almost as much as the compact sedan you bought a couple years prior...

If you don’t want people to do something, then don’t tell them they can do it, legal permission and all. If the license was chosen allows them to do it, you can’t be surprised or shocked when someone does it. Making a clone isn’t theft. That appeared to be part of his point.

> Classic schemes like the cayman sandwich are getting broken by bank failures like svb. The cayman division was not fdic insured afaik.

This seems wrong to me based on my understanding but i'd be willing to be educated.

Based on the fact that everyone got their money back from FDIC in what way have these bank failures caused "Cayman sandwich are getting broken by bank failures like svb"

The Cayman's had one purpose for most hedge funds. Move assets off shore so all gains would be tax free. Once you want your money you onshore it again in and pay tax on that total. This allows your money to grow tax free, which means if you're good at it, it grows faster.

It's just like a tax free retirement account that lets you deduct your contributes but makes you pay tax on the money you withdraw.

As far as for companies using the cayman sandwich, what i've read says everyone got their assets out, no?
