I upvoted you because you’re technically right. It’s permitted because it generally leads to good social outcomes at the expense of business profit. This isn’t cost-free, of course. Nothing is. It’s just that Sweden believes the costs are worth it. By the numbers, outcomes for citizens are very good, so I think they’re correct.
There's nothing wrong with concurrently developing something similar. I can almost guarantee there will be something different enough about what you've developed to be considered novel (if you care about publication). If you don't care about publication, then definitely keep going! Hell people are still argue about which implementation of complete specifications are the best (for good reason).
That's the same as a typical Unix script cobbed together with these tools. When the input data isn't of the expected form (a regex doesn't match, or matches in the wrong place, or whatever), there is often still a nonfailing behavior of some kind.

So what?

First, if you fly off the handle every time somebody pushes some bad code, you might want to find some help, because it's going to happen a lot. Everybody writes bad code from time to time, and the more people you work with, the more likely you are to encounter cases. Linus is sure working with a lot of people.

Second, Linus has always been rude. This isn't because his beloved work of 30 years got sullied, it's because he has a temper and can get away with it. He had that temper back in 1991, and he's been at most slightly successful at tempering it since.

He's repeatedly making the choice to be that way. He could choose a different response, but he prefers replying this way, for whatever reasons.

You can argue if that is or isn't OK. But either way, it's a choice to be rude, not an innate emotional response because some dirty peon has sullied the œeuvre of the great artist.

And what, precisely, do you think companies are doing?
I would say that a lot of investors are not the brightest. They just as receptacle to emotion manipulation and social engineering tactics as most people

Theranos is a great example. Good number of rich jumped into the tech while those in the industry knew a drop of blood does not contain the proper sample size for testing multiple markers.

Dr. Varun Sivaram's book "Taming the Sun" even talks about Elon Musk's solar panel grifting tactics to seek and exploit investors.

How is this any different than investors going for the world changing technology such as blockchains and NFTs?

This is another difference from the US. Certain forms of solidarity action are illegal in the US.

The TL;DR of US labor law is:

1. Companies do [very illegal under local law, up to and including murder] things to bust unions; they buy off the local authorities to get away with this.

2. The Federal government adds specific protections for unions -- many of which don't exist in various European countries.

3. Companies complain that #2 makes unions too powerful, so the Federal government adds specific restrictions on unions -- many of which don't exist in various European countries.

I'm curious about the history in Europe, since an equilibrium seems to have been found without steps #2 and #3.
Very common mistake that people make; there are two things that can be meant when people talk about "cross-platform":

1. The ability to use the same passkeys on a Windows/iOS/Android device. 1Password supports this, Apple is moving in this direction with its Chrome extension. Note that this isn't universally supported, but it's getting better over time.

2. The ability to move ecosystems entirely -- ie, the ability to export passkeys from iCloud onto a Windows computer, or to export passkeys out of 1Password into Bitwarden. No major platform supports this, not even 1Password (although they have at least said they're lobbying for it). As far as I know, there is no timeline for supporting this, and FIDO's current position is that they don't want to require it.

The second problem can't be solved by an individual provider, Open Source or not, because there's nothing in the spec requiring other providers to support export/import and no standard about how that export/import should happen. It has to be something that's tackled by the Alliance, and it can't be an optional part of the spec.

If users have to do research about which passkey provider is safe to use in order to avoid vendor lock-in, then I can't recommend passkeys to ordinary people.

----

This is a common confusion, and it's not helped by the fact that passkey advocates often conflate the two ideas; so people come into passkeys and think, "of course they're portable, everyone is telling me they're portable, everyone is telling me 1Password solved portability." But they're not portable; advocates are just using the most narrow definition of the word and are treating limited cross-device support and in-ecosystem backup as if those are the only things that matter. I've seen advocates argue that the problem of ecosystem independence is solved by Yubikeys even though Yubikeys are even less portable than roaming keys and more locked down. Not only can they not be exported to different non-Yubikey ecosystems, they can't even be backed up within the same ecosystem.

Bitwarden could theoretically get passkeys to the point where I would be OK using them because I'd only ever use Bitwarden's implementation and would self-host and the Open Source nature would guarantee that other people could read the data if I needed to move somewhere else. But Bitwarden can't get passkeys to the point where I'll recommend anyone else use them, because there is no way currently to use any other provider without suffering provider lock-in[0].

[0]: And no, before someone else comments otherwise, manually duplicating all of the keys across devices is not a reasonable or accessible strategy for avoiding lock-in.

Bandcamp was profitable. Clearly songtradr thinks they can be more profitable. Assuming average comp of $100k x 60 employees x 1.3 for taxes and additional expenses thats about $7.8MM revenue.

Songtradr just did a series D in 2021 for $50MM and recently acquired 7Digital for $23.4MM. I couldn't find a statement on how much it cost to acquire bandcamp, but it seems this might be motivated by Songtradr being cash poor and not wanting to dilute further.

"But within this discrepancy lies a paradox: Bandcamp, as comparatively threadbare as it may seem, with about $20 million in net revenue in 2022, is almost certainly profitable—based on the fact that the company has stayed lean and taken on no new funding since 2010"

https://www.fastcompany.com/90951664/bandcamp-spotify-vinyl-...

Songtradr - 45MM revenue / 157 employees = $287k/employee
Bandcamp - 30MM revenue / 118 employees = $254k/employee

If only that were so! Then the American real estate market wouldn't have been artificially stacked in favor of homeowners for the last eighty years.
Of course if it’s not good for the employers long term to treat their employees fairly, then achieving that would be “extractive”. But if that’s the case, there’s more wrong with the business than just its relationship with its employees.
I really haven't found any problems in collecting 320k Mp3s as a producer myself.

I think if most people knew the real way most modern music is produced and mastered now (on laptops), and how a lot of masters and music catalogues behind the scenes are literally re-encoded from mp3 backups, they'd see that lossless music is not an exact science.

Flac is also not universally supported by playback devices, and can become unsupported at any time faster than Mp3, so using more universal formats is not necessarily a bad thing.

That being said, I use HD lossless WAV copies for all of our own masters.
Sort of, but not in a way you'd expect. It presupposes that they don't know what's good faith or not without explicit cases on the subject in that jurisdiction. So qualified immunity squashes new cases that haven't been exactly covered, but also typically doesn't create new case law on that subject meaning that police can continue doing that 'possibly' bad behavior.

To me the difference between the iron curtain and today is storage and retrieval. The Bluffdale NAS has been quietly recording everything we say and do, and in 10-20 years it will be a gold mine for manipulating presidential elections. In fact, I can't wait (only for the satisfaction of seeing my prediction come true) to see the first election where the "dirt" on the candidate is an 8th-grade myspace/facebook post.

Take this to NSA levels of privacy invasion and things are about to get _really_ interesting. Nixing candidates is only the beginning, you can sell them protection, or force them to pass/don't pass laws or foreign policy. To me, that's the _real_ benefit of all this. they probably couldn't care less about dissidents.

You are telling a half truth. They are using modern Mandarin reading based on old Chinese characters that themselves were originally chosen based on how the actual name of this culture sounded at the time. In other words, you can pick any vaguely similarly sounding word in Chinese or otherwise and it'll probably be true to life enough and without the unnecessary slur.

This is interesting, and if true I would just add that they would likely sell both cores – one RISC-V and one ARM – at least in the short term. Proof is that they have already taped out and anounced thier NUVIA based Snapdragon X desktop/laptop SoC. This would further incentivise compatibilty between ARM and RISC-V as this wouldn't be a one time port like Apple did with PA Semi. I would also add that this is all speculation.

> Might might make right, but a complex system of rules, conventions, laws, negotiations, reputations and even person-to-person relationships made quite some might. It’s sorta chicken and egg.

All of those systems are a response to “might makes right” and the history of violence with the ultimate conclusion in the trenches of WWI and WWII. Wars to decide whose might is rightest became so destructive in the modern era that we created all these complex systems of geopolitics - because few of us can stomach destroying a century of industrial progress to prove our might anymore.

“Might make right” still dominates the interactions between unequal states.

This seems to be the trend in US business culture as a whole. I work in a more industrial sector, but the same problems persist: Repeated management turnover and restructuring. Despite top performer reviews, withholding promotions and raises. Under hire/over work personnel (“we run lean here”). Preach cost cutting on public side with the need for layoffs, all while hosting extravagant trips and dinners for upper management behind closed doors. Petty department politics and nepotism.

It’s hard not to become jaded, since this has been the eventual outcome at last two employers (even if they didn’t start out that way, the rot set in). Trying to find a healthier place to work, without sacrificing career growth.

> It's just these criticisms are not generally welcomed or amplified for figures in the prime of their accolades. Which is an interesting subject itself, I think.

I want to make clear that when someone commits a horrible crime (not a minor transgression) they should be held accountable. So rape/abuse/murder is horrible, being a bad husband/wife or an uncaring parent is bad but not "horrible", etc. Also, people are flawed, and everyone engages in bad behavior that wouldn't stand up to public criticism. Your mileage may vary, of course.

What I object to is canceling a person's work because of alleged crimes. People confuse "I don't like what it's alleged this person did in their personal life" with "this is not relevant art/science, I wish cinemas/schools/museums didn't mention this person anymore".
> Absolutely no pay increase or decrease for working harder or being better than average.

To a certain extent, this is an explicit goal of unions. Where "working harder" means things like "unpaid overtime" and "taking shortcuts that risk your safety" we consider that a good thing.

Where "working harder" means "actually doing your job" we consider that a bad thing. Of course working 16 hours a day used to mean "actually doing your job" so there's considerable grey area here.

Completely false. Phil Zimmerman gave us PGP for free in 1991, and numerous open encryption standards now belong to the general public. Giving credit to Apple, Meta, and Google for this isn't just blatanly incorrect; it erases the hard work of genuinely good people, and shifts the credit to user-hostile mass surveillance corporations.

A few years back I built an API with Django REST Framework, and the client wanted a thin client. I opened up Postman, and generated Python code from the requests I was making while testing, then I made it as reusable / generic as possible, it was insanely thing, even for not using requests, I forgot what the built-in for Python 2 was called.

So I havent had to since, but Postman's code generation is enough to give you a boilerplate to go from, but I think also openAPI has code generator tools. I do think making something so repetitive is kind of dull when tooling can automate so much of it and then you refine it as needed.
