Ethically, I'm not sure how to slice it. I'm operating on what you wrote here rather than this specific story.

Some contracts stipulate that anything you write while employed is owned by your employer. (I'm settled in that this is unethical, but it's reasonable to comply.)

But let's suppose there's no such stipulation.

You get an idea while at work. Everyone gets ideas. You take your brain home with you (I hope) and start developing that idea. You think it's generally useful and doesn't depend on any or reveal anything about a trade secret or other proprietary work, nor reveal anything about them.

Is it your choice to contribute that idea to your employer or to use it in an open source or some other unassociated project? Why or why not?

Is it OK if you never use it for any of your employer's projects?

If not, then is it OK to wait until after your employment to develop that idea on your own or for your next employer or even turn it into your really awesome startup that definitely won't fail? (I think all of you are willing to do the first, and most of you the second.) Why does that change the ethical quandary, or why doesn't it?

Alright, so your employer specifically asked for this solution and you wrote one on the clock but it was minimal, maybe you didn't have enough time to make a more elaborated one, and you write a better one and did one of the above with it. Is that OK?

I don't think this question is all that cut and dried.

Because you didn't diversify your economy. Just like my last sentence said.

Sorry about your country but my ex wife is German and... yeah, sorry. You didn't learn your own history.

It's funny because I'm argentinian and we don't diversity our risks either. And now Germany is comparing themselves with Argentina:

We are trying to use it for large backups of a production item, and it has not been a complete smooth ride all along.

We have many files (millions) and lots of churn over ~80Tb total.

Kopia has exhibited some issues:

- takes about 120GB (!) of ram to perform regular maintenance & takes about 5hrs to do so. There are ideas floating around to cherry pick the large inefficiencies in the GC code but it’s yet to be worked on. I’ll try to have a internship accepted to work on this in my company.

- there’s a good activity on the repository but the releases are not quick to come and the PRs are not very fast to be examined

- the local cache gets enormous and if we try to saddle it, we have huge download spikes (>10% of repo size) during maintenance. Same as above: pb is acknowledged but yet to be solved

- the documentation is very S3 centric, and we discovered too late that the tiered backup (long term files go into cold storage on s3) is only supported on S3, while we use azure. We contributed a PR to implement it in June, yet to be merged (see point 2)

So, not too bad, especially for a small-ish project maintained by mainly one person (from the looks of my interactions on slack and seeing the commit log). The maintainer is easy to reach and will answer, but external prs are slow. If I could use zfs cheaply on azure via s3, I’d use it over kopia, but as of now, it works.

Uber was pathologically bad in this sense. There was no time to get details pinned down. We had a product to ship in two weeks for non-technical stakeholders. If we didn't, the stated consequence was millions of dollars in losses to the business. Throwing up your hands until you get product clarity when you know you can solve the problem as-is is a great way to find yourself with a PIP.

The premise is flawed.

The world ran on a depoliticized money for thousands of years: gold. This experiment with government money is just over a hundred years ongoing, and really only fully realized since 1971. It would appear to me that it has been an abysmal failure; many countries have experienced hyperinflation, financial instruments have become monetized and bubbles have been pumped full of paper money, peoples savings are 1% of what they were when this all started, at best.

The author gets a whole lot wrong about bitcoin (an algorithm that sends ones and zeroes from one device to another?) and clearly doesn't understand it. But that doesn't matter; this is a critique of the larger "fantasy of apolitical money", not a technical critique of bitcoin itself.

What is it about an "industrial society" that requires a government to control the money? This is glossed over, but is at the crux of their position.

On Exactitude in Science
By Jorge Luis Borges

…In that Empire, the Art of Cartography attained such Perfection that the map of a
single Province occupied the entirety of a City, and the map of the Empire, the entirety
of a Province. In time, those Unconscionable Maps no longer satisfied, and the
Cartographers Guilds struck a Map of the Empire whose size was that of the Empire, and
which coincided point for point with it. The following Generations, who were not so
fond of the Study of Cartography as their Forebears had been, saw that that vast Map
was Useless, and not without some Pitilessness was it, that they delivered it up to the
Inclemencies of Sun and Winters. In the Deserts of the West, still today, there are
Tattered Ruins of that Map, inhabited by Animals and Beggars; in all the Land there is
no other Relic of the Disciplines of Geography.

All of these things are a spectrum. For network services especially, Go's standard library is generally considered pretty comprehensive, yes. In comparison to Rust specifically, like the context of the post, I don't think anyone could really argue a different way, though if you're comparing to something else, or for a different kind of task, it's possible that you may have a different opinion, sure.
Sounds like something an LLM could help with. You could write rules in natural language, and the system would automatically convert it into simple code.

It generally stays in the country issuing the fine, and it's up to that country what to do with it:

>“While the GDPR determines which infringements can lead to the imposition of a fine and which DPA [data protection administration] in the EU/EEA has the power to impose a fine for infringements, the GDPR does not determine what happens to administrative fines [my emphasis]. This is determined by national law and differs between member states. For all aspects of enforcement not governed by the GDPR, national law applies.”

It sounds like this crossed the line into gluttony and premeditated long-term theft (defrauding? expropriation? ip annexation? I'm not sure what a good word is).

Let's not let DC off with simple greed.
> this was meant to replace it.

I think that's a very generous read of what I said the requirements for this product were.
Copyrights should be more like trademarks. Use it or lose it.

Put a limit of 10 years if the work is not available for purchase by the general public, so any work that goes out of print becomes public domain 10 years after the last copy was sold.

But... Only for works owned by _corporations_. For works still owned by the original artists, works would enter public domain on the artists death or if the artist had under-age children at the moment of their passing, when the youngest completes 18.

I think this is the best way to ensure that corpos can't sit on works for eternity while allowing artists to have an income for life, with some protection for their children in case of untimely death.

In any case, any law that implements such limitations should mandate a complete removal of any DRM involved, or at least publication of the private keys needed to decrypt any work, once they become public.
By the pigeonhole principle not everyone who wants to live in a growing city can own a house. So long as houses are allocated economically (as opposed to submitting an application to join the queue at the People's Bureau of Housing or whatever) this will reveal itself as some people being unable to afford houses. So we can conclude that the affordability of single family homes in isolation isn't the problem we should focus on.

> So yes, things become cheaper if everyone wants to live in an apartment.

People make tradeoffs all the time. Lots of people would love to own a nice house in a nice neighborhood within walking distance to a forest and to downtown for not very much money. But too many people want to live there for them to all own houses. So some will choose to live in an apartment instead, and others will choose to move farther away to be able to own a house. Preventing upzoning will just mean that fewer people get to make the tradeoff to live in that neighborhood, and only the richest of them will be able to pay through the nose to do so.

> But for modest income folks in small old houses, up zoning means moving out of the community.

Well, nobody's forcing them to. After their house has been upzoned they can live in it for as long as they want, then sell it to a developer for millions of dollars when they want to move. The developer will use the land to build apartments, and sell them to people who don't have a million dollars to buy a house. Everybody wins.

We used to build cities in America. Our grandparents' generation got brand new roads, brand new houses, brand new schools, etc. There is a concept of being at capacity, and there are areas that have reached that capacity, where the roads can comfortably carry X number of cars, where density is enough to support a local economy and industry, and the quality of life is good. Rather than trying to cram 5 pounds of crap into a 10 pound bag, building new cities in proximity to economic megalopolises (first as a crutch to support the population of the new city) with easy transportation between the two is something that California has a great track record of, for example, that you don't see in the Northeast. Irvine is a great semi-recent example of that. This is development done correctly, not cramming as many people into a mature area as possible, and then whining that NIBMYism makes living there expensive when the infrastructure of a city or region is at capacity.

And what happens when you can't build anymore, like on the island of Manhattan? You regulate rents to protect housing for the economically-diverse population of people who live there. This is all not that complicated, but all we hear about is this deregulation model that doesn't make any sense when you game it out two steps ahead.
My (poor) understanding of quaternions is they are like a vector with a rotation angle around the axis of the vector. This is probably incorrect on many levels. But it was a simple enough explanation that it made sense to my brain why this would work better than simple SRT transform parameters for avoiding gimbal lock. It's been several years since I needed to deal with 3D transformations of any sort, so I'm a bit rusty on all this.

I used to be amused when period pieces would show actresses (particularly European) in sleeveless attire with their smallpox vaccine scar, three feet tall in the closeup shots.

And now max wants you to pay $17/month to watch a bunch of reality TV shows that cost about $40 total to produce.

If I want some sort of trashy drama to watch, there's no shortage of freely available stuff on YouTube; the reason I paid money was because I wanted, you know, actual TV shows, and they decided to get rid of most of the ones I liked.

EDIT:

Just to ward off the pedants, I know reality shows cost more than $40 to produce. I still believe the sentiment stands though; they're cheaper than good TV.
