> skeptical of OpenTF's motives

Acknowledged, there are always self-serving motives involved. Generally things don't happen without a reason. But we donated the project to a foundation, and will over time build (and fund) a dedicated independent team who will follow their own vision and the community needs, not ours. So please judge us by our actions, not assumed motives.

> their members have big financial stake in that decision

I can't speak on behalf of others but to us at Spacelift it's less about direct financials (we are actually not directly affected by the license change!) and more about being in charge of our own destiny and product roadmap.
Why don't you check the BIN yourself before sending the request to Stripe?

Several years ago I signed up for Stratfor and I don't hate it. I feel like I read about stuff there a couple days before everywhere else, and less breathlessly. Of course very little focus on the Domestic US stuff (which is an upside for me.)

I don't read it every day though, just 2-3 times a week.

yea, that makes all the difference. If it was almost all Hashicorp, the open source was a marketing gimmick and I don't blame them for not risking the entire business on it. If there was heavy involvement from external contributors, then removing open source is more of a rug pull.
To nitpick your nitpick, the earth radiates more energy than it receives because it is very radioactive. And because it is cooling.
I didn't think my comment indicated any policy prescriptions.

The law of Supply and Demand is maybe the most rigorously validated theory offered by Economics.

It correctly predicts what will happen in each of your examples:

- Rent price ceiling, shortage e.g. Apartments in NYC

- Property tax increase, decrease in demand for those properties

- Utility price ceiling, shortage, e.g. water in CA

- Healthcare price ceiling, shortage. e.g. long wait times in countries like Canada

Whether or not any of those shortages/surpluses is good or bad is going to depend on your own personal situation. But you aren't even in a position to correctly evaluate that without something at least as predicatively powerful as the law of supply and demand.

One of my first (toy) websites was a silly floppy disk size calculator. You could enter an amount of songs/movies/files/etc and it would tell you how many disks it would take: https://howmanyfloppydisks.com/

It was very grounding to understand how disk capacity has grown over time.

Big tech hates it and bans it outright. Which means it's the correct choice.
Doesn't solve the issue of nobody else knowing how to build it, and the ones that do often somehow making 60$ an hour, now you're stuck with this thing that could be your responsibility at any time.
Because the GEM Society is a business that wants to 1) continue grading diamonds and 2) begin cataloging lab diamonds. Both of which are revenue sources.
For comparison, the only CEO that comes close to this is Jensen Huang, the CEO of NVIDIA, who got $506,343,201 last year.

The third CEO on the list was Mary Barra, the CEO of GM, with $34,106,824.
I can’t follow these kinds of comparisons, because housing isn’t a function of wages. The only thing that affects housing prices is the supply of houses.

Does the UK have a large supply of houses? Does London have a lot of spare land where they can build new houses? Is the population of the UK increasing or decreasing? These are the only question you need to ask to predict what will happen to real estate values.
Girls. Everything after that was just a blur...
Hydrogen makes much more sense than battery powered cars. Japan's going for it in a real way, which means they will have a big head start in this field and dominate the next century. Battery cars are a dead end with insanely high environmental costs. Insanely high.
Look at the education outcomes statistics.

Immigrants from South and East Asia have children who fare much better than those from the "white working class". It's not because of society or money, it's because of culture and values.

I am not blaming 'victims' but on the other hand if you don't do anything to help yourself you can't expect success...

A personal anecdote: we tried to get one of our children into a grammar school and so got private tuition for 11+ exam preparation. 90% of those attending were of Indian origin, very few 'Brits'. And we are also immigrants.
Vancouver tripled its housing supply, but housing affordability got worse: https://biv.com/article/2023/05/patrick-condon-behold-vancou...

It turns out that if the demand is effectively infinite thanks to immigration, you can't reduce prices by increasing supply.
They don’t mention falling life expectancies. If people are dying before they use as much care as expected, small wonder costs would rise less.

Doesn't this mean that people will be more cautious and less likely to contribute on the long run? I mean that feels like it is against the spirit of open source movement. And yes I realize that this is idealistic position and the legal aspects gets the upper hand at the end. I just wish things didn't go this way.
> True...it's just difficult to draft a license that says something along the lines of "If you're Big Tech, we have the right to go after you, if you're small startup, you're safe".

Take a look at the license of LLAMA2 by FB. It has a clause just like this. I.e. limit by number of users.

I'm personally acquainted with a person who went through arbitration with a major company. It took over two years. The deep pocketed party can still run up the costs.

Admittedly less than regular litigation, but not magic.
My experience has been that you just don't see people wearing wedding bands all that often anymore. They're inconvenient and unfashionable. Marriage is as unpopular as ever and only the most conservative areas actually care about marital status.
I'm unclear as to what your alternative actually is. Your claim seems to be that the concepts of "woman" and "man" are too difficult to define, but then, what next? Please could you elaborate on your view.
Yeah I can't see an alternative to this. I'd go further to say that to guarantee this is done, company's should be required to provide this data upfront in some encrypted form, so that it's out and public in advance and can be unlocked by a simple encryption key (an FCC escrow service would be a good idea).

And that's on the "if I really thought business should get a handout" approach.

Practically, I see no reason the full source code for any of the network-interactive software components IoT devices shouldn't be required to be open and user-flashable upfront. I can buy pre-flashed ESPHome devices which will do wireless updates and come with the full source code and a map of how to talk to their pins (which implements the functionality) - I see no reason why this sort of access shouldn't be the default.
Panda3DS emulator developer blog: Exploring the software and hardware of the 3DS
A blog post from the creator of Panda3DS, a new 3DS emulator, documenting the first steps of the emulator a year ago. This also includes insight on some of the 3DS software and hardware. Of course it's impossible to document the entire development process of the emulator in one post, so this only covers the first month or so.

Nothing wrong with hating Microsoft, it's a multiple felon.
From my experience with that scale of traffic (with Opera Mini at the time about 250M MAUs and 150k full pageloads/s):

There is surprisingly little seasonal variance. You have your weekly/daily traffic rhythms based on when your users are awake/active based on their geographical distribution and that's mostly it.

"World events" also have very little impact - they tend to barely make a dent in that massive background noise.

Before we had large volumes of traffic I thought we'd be seeing all sorts of unusual peaks, after a few years I realized growth at scale tends to become boring (but in a good way).
I was recently in the UK and a friend there expressed a similar pessimistic sentiment— "things are really bad here, the whole world is going down the drain".

Back where I'm from, things aren't looking as bleak as they are in the UK. I found that comment amusing really. The assumption that since Britain has historically been wealthy and a one of the better places to live, if things are not looking great there, they must be so everywhere or something.
And soy and almond milk has been called as such for centuries. We call lots of inedible white saps milk too.
I strive to obtain as world-wide a coverage as possible. Obviously from one side or the other, some of those will be classed as 'propaganda'. But most of the biases tend to cancel out and give a fairly even point of view in the end.

If I read every word in all those sites it would take me hours. But I scan the headlines and read only the pages that catch my interest.
I know that they are, like, one of the biggest news sources in the world. But I still think NYT's reporting is underrated and taken for granted. Their coverage is pretty comprehensive, they don't jump on every zeitgeist, their editors hold the line on journalistic integrity, and they still meet the demand to crank out articles as fast as everyone else.

I was hoping WaPo would give them a run for their money, but the divergence in quality is there for anyone looking.
I know this is extreme and not available to everyone, but I'm just making my own furniture because of the reasons you cite.

Yes I have the room, money and a little time to build my own workshop, but really, it's 100% more satisfying, attractive and much much cheaper to DIY.

It's really turned into quite the passion for me. Once I pay off me house I'd think about investing more time into it.
It seems closest to Hudson vs Jenkins split, in terms of community impact / response (though not on the licensing front): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_(software)

How hard is it to remake and improve a random component on any electronic device I own? eg the control panel on my microwave or my entire TV remote.

Would I need specific parts from the manufacturers?

Would dissecting the existing component give enough detail for me to remake without the (I assume proprietary/hidden) schematics?
Cheap credit and a rising market are all you need.

Good for those with existing capital who can access the credit and use growing equity to leverage new investments. Terrible for anyone without existing capital actually earning an income.

Both of these factors appear to be changing in many places (very significantly here in NZ). Interesting times ahead.
Historically it may be interesting to look at the hudson / jenkins codebases

apple is trying to extend the ecosystem, so anything to make it more sticky is a positive.

eliminating reasons to use a different device increases stickiness.

this guarantees people at least won’t have to (a stretch to assume they won’t) touch an iphone or an ipad while the headset is on their head - the same apps are available, and any using icloud for storage may simply be “the same.” same data, same app, different screen.

advantageous, yes. advantage over others? less clear.
You deserve to stay in business when you are a legal business entity that is following all the laws and regulations. Giving everyone a raise is not required by law. It is not a realistic strategy to get out of this inflationary environment - that's my view.
But my question is: if they don't care at all to look at what they're buying, why do they care that they bought a vegan steak? It's still their fault and it's still food.

What that statement means is that measures to facilitate supply side volume are also necessary, giving the demand side money is not the only option. If it is too cost-prohibitive and risky for incumbent firms and potential new competitors to supply an increasing volume of services or goods then buyer subsidies will only inflate prices further.

The line between "consumer product" and "enterprise/defense product" can be blurry. For example, event security teams may use their personal smartphones to communicate with medical staff.

A lot of IoT companies (especially the startups) focus on the customers with the deepest pockets (enterprise and defense). If big-ticket customers demand this label, it generates a great deal of incentive for IoT companies to just say "to hell with it, we want that label on everything we make."

In any case, the words "national security" are usually a good way to get the attention of a three letter ;)
A good analogy is ice. We all use “freezer-grown crystalline water,” but prior to the invention of refrigeration, we harvested natural ice from frozen lakes and stored them in ice houses for use throughout the summer.

Sure, there’s some romance from hand-harvested ice, but you can’t beat the price and purity of ice from a freezer.
1. The elephant in the room here is VCs that pushed unsustainable pure open source or open core business models during ZIRP. You can't do it right from day one if your investors are pushing you the opposite direction.

2. People keep talking about community contributions but hasn't Hashicorp rejected all contributions for years?
Some ideas:

Customers should be able to return for a full refund any products that have security vulnerabilities that aren't addressed within the support period.

Companies could opt to participate in a source code escrow program where the source code for the product is deposited with a third party, and if the company goes out of business or something, the source code is released with a sufficiently-permissive license that a sufficiently-motivated user community can fix bugs themselves and distribute them (but not necessarily use the code in other unrelated/competing products unless the company is okay with that).

Companies should be required to disclose up-front any classes of vulnerability that they don't consider to be a security flaw. (E.g. a software product probably wouldn't be secure when run in an operating system that has been compromised by a malicious actor, or a network security product might not be secure against an attacker with physical access.)

Just as a matter of terminology, I think it would be appropriate to refer to software security patches as product recalls, because that's effectively what they are.

In the long run, I'd like to see a system where organizations could run something like a combination comilation/notary service. For instance, you have a server somewhere that people or companies can submit code to, and the server compiles the software and issues a digital signature for the compiled binary attesting that it compiled with no errors or warnings, and their linter couldn't find any problems. For something like C++ this might not be very interesting, but languages with stronger type guarantees might provide some confidence the program is at least not doing something that's nonsense. (Whether it's correct is a different problem than whether it's at least using memory and concurrency primitives in a sane way.) Someone might upload their code as safe Rust or Haskell or Agda or whatever, and the service could say "yeah, we're pretty sure this is memory safe and doesn't exercise undefined behavior." Companies could seek certificates from whoever the most respected compilation services are at the moment.

I keep thinking that maybe high end flashlights could be the same way, I can definitely think of a few features that don't show up in your typical light, and that it might be cool to try to make a few boutique lights to sell, but my business knowledge isn't quite up to that, and I don't exactly have much desire to do a whole lot of independent work, I much prefer having an employer.

Yeah, sadly AMD seems to not be making much investment into the Arm ecosystem, whereas Nvidia's proprietary drivers have been built for and tested on multiple Arm systems (likely due to Nvidia building their own Arm silicon for years now).

There aren't many changes required to get some amount of AMD GPU support going in Linux on modern Arm systems, but I'd still consider support 'experimental' there.

this is a great point. I've been following your work decently closely but this is the first time I thought about the "hostable" vs "non-hostable" differentiation. And thinking more deeply on it, of course it matters. There's a pretty big distinction and, naively, perhaps their attempt to protect TF Cloud with this doesn't even accomplish what they intended for it to accomplish. If the backend part is the thing...that was never even in contention, anyway. If this is the case, they only managed to hurt the community.
