"Open Source" is such a strong brand nowadays, it suffices to claim to be open source. Even after so many projects flipped their license.
As a senior citizen who just retired, something the article didn't say enough about was bad spending while still employed. MANY of my former co-workers who are still working refuse to control their gambling, credit card levels, buying new vehicles and homes, multiple divorces. Several of them had the courage to ask me how I could afford to retire! I told them, politely, that I practiced not spending money, but saving it in my 401K.

I'm not saying my fellow boomers are all doing this with their money while working, this is just my experience with those I know.
It's a combination of the scene and the MDMA opening me up to the experience. I would have been _freaked the fuck out_ by random people hugging me without it.

But your point is why I am skeptical of the value of MDMA as like a one-on-one therapeutic tool. For me, it was not just that I was having the best night of my life, but that I was surrounded by people who were also having the best night of their lives. You could just look around and make eye contact with a random person and you both _knew_.

And that community didn't just _happen_. It was the product of lots of people curating that community -- the djs, the promoters, the dancers, etc. You can't just throw drugs into any random pool of people and expect that kind of magic to happen. There was an artistry to it.

He's right though, there will never be as many opportunities to start companies as there will be to become a worker at a company. The window of opportunity is shrinking drastically.

It doesn't matter if we're not fungible in the metaphysical sense, we are fungible when it comes to the economical value we provide to the world.

This is no different than telling coal miners that are 50 years old to "learn to code". It's ridiculous and it's disingenuous.
Sort of but not really. SwiftUI is reactive, with view changes triggered by changes in Swift variables and those changes triggered using Combine. The later iterations of Swift include async/await to greatly simplify async code (normally but not always focused on network endpoints). You can write everything you need without having to drag Kotlin into the mix, and including Kotlin will require bridge code that seems (to me, at least) an unwanted obligation just to let some executive say "We saved some money by sharing code!".

> If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, has ducklings, and swims in the water, it's clearly a moose, or a t-rex, right?

(a) we have a whole legal philosophy based around "If we're gonna deprive it of duck-related rights, we'd better make damn sure it isn't a t-rex or a moose."

(b) remember, what these rules protect us from is the government having arbitrary power to jail people by calling us ducks.

> Everyone is entitled to a fair, public trial decided upon by a jury of their peers

Who owns the right there? It's not the government; it's the plaintiff and defendant. If both concur on a non-public trial, the Constitution doesn't force the trial to be public. The right to a public trial is a waivable right.

... which is really the crux of the matter. The DOJ has a right to ask for a public trial here also; if it's not public, that implies they have not. They really should be the ones people are up in arms about if we think there's a public interest in publicizing the trial proceedings, as they represent the public in these proceedings.

In this case, Google argues that the loss of trade secrets in the act of defending themselves constitutes irreparable harm, the court agrees, and the DOJ doesn't appear to have dissented. That's enough to settle the issue for this case.

> Alternatively, they could have just not gone and done the actions that caused the government to bring the lawsuit

You are, again, assuming the DOJ's case is legal truth before they've made it.

The easiest way for a corporation to never open itself to lawsuit is to do nothing. Obviously, we don't want to incentivize that as the common outcome; we lose our whole economy if we do. So the law tries to find a balance. In the case of this antitrust suit, I think there's a good case to be made that the DOJ is trying to bend precedent to make something illegal that the law was not previously understood to make illegal; the idea that Google has a "search monopoly" is a very frog-boiling argument of reinterpretation of law over the history of the company.

(If we're doing full disclosures: I do own Google stock still. I expect them to beat this lawsuit and then I'll cash out after the victory bubble).

you've linked to the Mozilla Foundation.

"Mozilla’s work is guided by the Mozilla Manifesto. Founded as a community open source project in 1998, Mozilla currently consists of two organizations: the 501(c)3 Mozilla Foundation, which leads our movement building work; and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Mozilla Corporation, which leads our market-based work. The two organizations work in close concert with each other and a global community of tens of thousands of volunteers under the single banner: Mozilla."

not sure where everyone is getting the idea that Mozilla just makes a web browser. they've been saying for years and years and years that the browser is not their only focus.

> Guess what there is something in between the Nevada desert and the North East corridor.

Is there though? Here are the cities with at least 500,000 population on the line between Chicago and Sacramento: Denver. That's it. Omaha has just under 500,000 people. It's over 2000 miles of farmland and desert.

> And Amtrak operates in several places where there is very little other options for people, so operating at a loss at time is perfectly reasonable for a public service.

The people who live in western states have cars. Amtrak is useless because it goes to Chicago but not to the grocery store, which is why they have cars, but their cars can go to Chicago too. Or to the airport, because Chicago is a thousand miles from them.

> And the point about Metro North, guess what if the freight railroad owned all those tracks then that would be possible either.

Sure it would, because you could build entirely parallel tracks there exclusively for passenger rail and it would still be profitable because it's a high population density area where passenger rail actually makes sense.
It's all about per-mile safety and economy. Ohio was bad. Having that same amount of the same chemicals shipped via highways that snake through the middles of cities would be vastly worse.

> A physicists dismissing philosophy as out of date implies that we are already on the optimum path to discovering the remaining knowledge about the universe to be learned.

It implies they believe that. Which is ultimately a dogmatic ideology. That is why I call it scientism and not science. Obviously we cannot know if that is the case or not because of the nature of time (the future holds answers that the past cannot, yet remains inaccessible to beings such as us). There is no good reason to believe that our theories aren't missing some crucial aspects which were already understood and subsequently lost. The cultural narrative of progress is so strongly asserted, yet what we know of as "history" is such a narrow and skewed perspective.

I myself am a physicist. I once had the confidence to assert that physics is the One True Way to understand life, the universe, and everything and that progress is inevitable (Newton's "shoulders of giants"). I no longer believe this is the case because of my explorations through the traditions of thought present in philosophy. For sure I can cram the lines of discourse that most interest me into quasi-physics-based theories (post-structuralism is especially interesting as a systems person) but that's not to say that physics can represent everything there is to know. Physics is a language just like any other and there are some ideas that physics simply cannot express.

I'm so sick of Mozilla's constant posturing as the "open internet" champion. Unfortunately it seems to be working based on the hordes of goons who interject in any discussion of web browsers that Firefox is the "morally superior" choice.

Mozilla is lost. Not just directionless, but in my opinion a total shell of the organization they once were. Chrome's complete dominance can be directly attributed to Mozilla's mismanagement.

> Airplane fuel is expensive

No more so than diesel for a locomotive. The formulation is pretty similar. Then, consider that the energy requirements for trains and planes aren't radically different (for long-distance travel). Airplanes fly though the thin air of the stratosphere, while trains try to bore a hole through the thick air near the ground.

> it takes a larger crew to operate

Not really. The person-hours of labor (for the on-board crew) required to operate a segment between two city pairs is usually less for a plane because it spends less time in transit.

In both cases, the crew is unionized and commands high pay and benefits.

In both cases, a centralized dispatcher is required, usually certified.

In both cases, some staff are needed to run the stations and on/off-load baggage and cargo. In both cases, one group of such staff can be "rotated" through the many arrivals/departures that happen throughout the day.

> and the planes are more expensive too

[Citation needed]

This page implies a Siemens Charger (the type of locomotive used by Brightline) costs ~$11m per unit: https://www.businessinsider.com/amtraks-new-diesel-electric-...

While this page implies that a Siemens Venture (the type used by Brightline) costs ~$80m per trainset: https://www.theurbanist.org/2021/07/08/amtrak-cuts-deal-with...

Each train requires 2x locomotives and one set of cars, for a total cost of ~$100m.

A 737 also costs ~$100m new: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/much-does-boeing-737-cost-142...

The Venture set carries about 250 pax, while the 737 carries about 180. But the 737 can complete more trips in a given amount of time compared to a train.

> Who foots the bill for operating expensive airports ?

Generally the people who use it, via ticket prices. O'hare airport is a major profit center for the city of Chicago (check out the city's border--that little nub on the west side is the airport).

> Are trains mor[e] expensive purely because regulation costs and operating expenses are passed down in entirety to the customer ?

It's mostly a combination of:

1. Higher labor costs (because a train takes longer, and the crew requirements are similar).

2. Needing to build and maintain a continuous right of way for hundreds of miles.

3. Less efficient use of capital because the same amount of equipment can make fewer trips in a given amount of time.
Then it's a common mistake that many scientists and technologists make, which further informs their worldviews and ideologies.

> If you wish to carry on plugging in a telephone to your landline without any configuration then you will have to start using the telephone socket on your wifi router and only the router provided by your isp.

I find the need to configure a router or VoIP adapter to be a strange, over-engineered concept when it comes to replacing POTS. We're already authenticated by virtue of being physically connected. The exchange should be able to pass through the identity of the connecting line and no authentication or manual configuration is a fundamental requirement. In PPP, authentication is optional, but BT/OpenReach require it and complicate everything for consumers for no good reason. Since nearly every line has only one provider, they should keep track of that at their end, and then routers wouldn't need PPP configuration in the common case. Everything could be negotiated automatically, and the protocol already supports this!

We do have TR069 but that adds even more unnecessary complexity.

The same goes for a POTS replacement. Authentication is not fundamentally necessary. They could autodiscover, and then the identity of your physical line could be passed through. There isn't an obvious protocol here, but it's trivial to achieve technically as long as it isn't overengineered (see for example uPnP IGD vs. NAT-PMP). If this is a real problem, it can be addressed.

I don't think it's part of most consumer's threat models that it matters if their line identity is intercepted and used by an adversary, since we all use higher level protocols to establish higher level authentication anyway. But if it were, then TOFU together with an out-of-band update mechanism (eg. "call customer service to activate your new phone and/or router" or just "scan the QR code on the side of your phone and/orrouter with our app to activate it") would be all that's needed to deal with that. Client side authentication still wouldn't be needed, and can't address that threat model directly anyway.

> Should we hold grudges against brands for things totally different people did 10? 20? 50? years ago? That seems weird to me.

You've inverted the sense here, by treating reputation as something based on default trust and exceptional "grudges". What has really happened is that they've destroyed the exceptional positive reputation they spent the past decade and a half building. A new reputation can certainly be built over the next decade, but for now they're mostly back to the default state of deserving no trust.

Not to ruin things but 5-10k views on TikTok is not nothing but it's also not very viral so I wouldn't expect that to drive any sales. You'd probably expect with TikTok viewer retention, maybe 1/100 viewers would actually be interested enough to watch through the video as well as be in the target audience and then another 1% might actually buy the book. Likes are a more accurate metric since it's kind of the bare minimum for audience interaction.

The real power of TikTok is that you can get 100k+ views even when you're not really that famous and once you see those kinds of numbers you might be able to drive more attention to whatever you're trying to sell. It might also be a bit soul crushing but creativity doesn't really help. If you have a viral video that gets 100k views then you need to make the same kind of video as many times as you can until it stops working.
