An extra yearly salary in appreciation each year is not an overstatement, and I'll tell you why: Many people are for decades in unskilled or low salary jobs, that in the past paid plenty to afford a house/mortgage. The wages have not kept up with real estate prices, but for the person who has his home paid off or mostly paid off, this is not a problem. For the person without real estate this is a problem. But yes, combine a big house with a low wage and you will have a real estate appreciation that is bigger than the yearly take home.

Secondly, many countries have always had low salaries for all occupations, such as European countries. These countries have now seen an explosion in real estate prices, while salaries remain low and highly taxed. In these countries it is not unusual to have real estate appreciation being larger than the take home salary.

But even if it's half or a third yearly salary in real estate appreciation every year for not working, that's still a great deal.

Outside the USA property taxes are usually extremely low, with governments paying for schools and roads etc by taxes on labour.

In practice people borrow against their real estate to buy new cars at low interest or to renovate their homes to increase their real estate value. One hour spent renovating your home as an amateur gives you several twice the value as one hour spent working in your field as a professional. And it's tax free.

Yes, there have been several attempts in the past like the Ubuntu Phone, Nokia n900, (I had an n810), etc. The world should seriously fund an open phone as a non-profit initiative, but where people working on it have a fair salary, a guaranteed job, and decent working conditions. Moreover, major services like banks should be legislated to be required to make apps for this phone as well as Android/Apple.

I know we're meant to be charitable, open minded on HN and avoid ad hom, vituperation, but with Ray, it's hard.

No Ray, that's not happening. Like pretty much all your other prognostic statements. He won't be bringing Marvin Minsky back either.

It's pretty hilarious a lot of companies are demanding RTO, but then increasing remote workforce in low cost of living countries.

I'd like to have a conversation with an executive at a company about that. The logical somersaults I'd likely hear would be something else.
> I don't understand what's wrong with AGPL-style licenses.

Nothing IMO.

But many commercial entities won't touch software covered by them, so if wide adoption is one of your desires this could be a significant consideration. You can argue as much as you like about where lines are and how using <component> won't mean they have to open source their entire business, but you'll get nowhere, and the blanket ban will remain. If they really want what your component does they'll do it in-house (and maybe release that under a more permissive licence) or use an alternative if one already exists.

Dual licensing (AGPL with commercial options) usually won't help either: they don't actually want a commercial option because they don't want to pay for things the way they want others to pay their services. Dual licensing can also be an issue for other contributors, it becomes more important to have a CLA⁰ so you can do that at all (legally) and a CLA might put off a lot of potential contributors.

This would not be an issue for me¹², and from your question I assume it wouldn't be for you either, but for some people/projects it could be more important, possibly a blocker.

That may end up being a net win for all involved: distribution users will get an up to date package direct from the source instead of a 5 year old version (or whatever) patched to hell, and the project will stop getting reports about versions modified by packagers.

His larger works are getting a lot of praise (justifiably, I read "A fire upon the deep" on a friend recommendation, then everything else Vinge wrote), some of his short stories strongly resonated with me, too.

The cookie monster is, IMO, a thought-provoking marvel.
I understand the feeling, but I think it is ultimately not marketings fault.

It is much more likely that the type of leadership that splurges on marketing would, if forced to put the money somewhere else, direct it to something else that directly serves their own personal needs. So if C-suit can't boost their personal brand by ordering expensive marketing, they'll more likely to spend on ostentatious offices or expensive company cars rather that headcount in in-house testing departments or getting technical writers to work on documentation.
OSI executive director here: The SSPL was retracted from review (it was years ago) as the discussion on a mailing list stalled and became unproductive. Read the original threads on the list, not just that blog post. Frankly, it was a low point for the organization, the board at the time recognized it and that triggered a structural change[0], too.

We've been thinking about how we'd discuss large and controversial licenses in a productive way. We're learning how to drive large, productive, difficult conversations with the process towards the Open Source AI Definition[1] and we hope (soon) to be able to transfer that knowledge to other pressing issues, like complex licenses.

Flump was a fantastic tool in the early mobile days when there wasn’t really anything else to create quality 2D animations. I also wrote a few Flump runtimes and have since written a few more runtimes utilizing the Export as Texture Atlas feature in Adobe Animate. If the goal is to just render the rasterized output from the exported texture atlas animations it should be pretty simple to create a converter.

If the goal is to render vectors I imagine it is more complicated due to quirks in how Macromedia triangulated their vectors, but someone has done it before http://blog.bwhiting.co.uk/index.php/2014/03/17/introducing-...
But in the case of HN the RNG was seeded by millisecond-granularity timestamps. This was universally considered bad already in 2009 (it would have been even in 1999). The Debian SSL key scandal happened in 2008.

It is quite a leap to say "timestamp-based seeds are insecure, let's upgrade to lava lamps".
Absolutely, in the same way that there are tabloid forms of journalism, citizen, and authoritative forms, also.

For me the distinction is in the nature of speculation. If you speculate about some facet, and it seems feasible but fantastic, this is the event horizon at which the subject becomes useful as well as entertaining. It was no doubt of great utility to the original developers of satellites to have had Arthur C. Clarkes' models in their minds.

However, its hardly viable to speculate about regular use of teleportation or faster than light travel .. unless, of course, we end up getting these things because some kid read a story and decided it could be done, in spite of the rest of the worlds feeling about it ..

Yes, I think also mounting ext3 systems as ext4 and migrating it to ext4 as you access it is a good way too. IIRC you had to enable a couple of flags in the ext3 system with tune2fs to enable ext4 features as well, but it didn't break, and migrated as you write & delete files.
The term “free range” is almost meaningless when buying eggs - even the opening paragraph of Wikipedia explains this:

“Free-range eggs are eggs produced from birds that may be permitted outdoors. The term "free-range" may be used differently depending on the country and the relevant laws, and is not regulated in many areas.”

Bad choice of example!
It's the local maximum and a prisoner's dilemma in one. You'd need everyone to agree to change at the same time and they'll need to believe no neighbours will conquer them by being able to afford more military. This gets even more rough when the available working/serving population gets smaller and any local gains are bigger relative to your neighbours.
It could be but not entirely so, so I’m cautious here
The article you link starts off by defining mass as rest mass. I think the article shows very clearly that photons have no rest mass, using several different arguments.

However, a photon has energy, so therefore it must have not-at-rest mass. The article doesn't really comment on not-at-rest mass. We know photons interact with gravity because of gravitational lensing.

The country has been ruined by increasing immigration numbers to double of what it was previously while failing to even build the necessary homes needed for the growing young adulthood demographic. It’s sad that some of my peers are even starting to utter racist remarks in resentment of common knowledge that migrants are keeping wage stagnation constant and rent increase is obviously related. I fear that the liberals won’t be able to ever recover from the mistrust they’ve created by allowing things to get so out of hand. I love my immigrant friends but it’s bad to know born Canadians aren’t having a good time because of all this nonsense.
Eh, doesn't work well with the factors that led to the penny-farthing.

The penny-farthing was a direct drive on the front wheel - no chain. It had you positioned on top of the wheel to get as much traction as possible.

A primitive recumbent trike would tend towards the same design, like a child's trike, with no chain and a direct drive on the front wheel.

And because you'd get terrible traction, with so little weight, you'd be dead in the water until the machining was available to engineer a chain system to connect pedals in front of the cyclist with wheels underneath. I don't think there's any penny-and-two-farthings intermediate to make the recumbent trike work before that.

AGPL is an “open source” license per OSI - I assure you if you use code licensed under it at many big companies, you might avoid a meeting with legal but will instead get one with HR…
Same sayings about grease and bikes existed as well. Its not theoretically, bikes with plain bearings were made and ridden.
Thanks! I'm considering that. We might first implement P2P or external services (dropbox, iCloud) sync, but we'll see.

The data is all local, so there's no need for encryption yet. But when we implement sync it'll be end to end encrypted.

People are struggling with what I think of as the pyrrhic victory of open source software. Vast swathes of computing is done with OSS, yet there is very little software freedom for actual people, because it’s all running in megacorps data centres with all the data locked away.

Essentially, the intention of copyleft to increase software freedom, which is the overall mission, has foundered. It is didn’t work and need revising.

Smaller companies are an ally of convenience here.

"Zones of Thought" was a really smart idea once you got it. I put him as 2nd generation genius like "Hendrix -> Van Halen": "Asimov -> Vinge". Also (only real nitpick ever), like Asimov, was a little weak in dialogue and the poetry of words (comparing to Tolkein and Heinlein), but they were literally both STEM "Dr.s/PhD's".

Rainbow's End seemed to be the FAANG playbook for many years: drones, AR (google glass on), haptics, autonomous automobiles, and on and on. Was thinking literally yesterday about how the biotech and architecture/earthquake ideas hadn't made it to today (which is around when the story takes place), but the latency issues seem to have been licked well before now.

Automatically applying dark mode to documents tends to have poor results, especially when images are involved, but some people are masochists and/or can't be bothered to turn on the light, so they made a separate setting for them. Although I think a toggle would be better instead of dark mode/night mode.
If the people selling photographs don’t like that, they should license them accordingly, right?
Ask HN: How to onboard yourself to a new product/industry in a new job?
E.g. I've never been strong at finance (always at the bottom of the class) but I've joined a startup 2 months back that makes a b2b saas fintech product, to lead marketing (first mktg hire in in a total 12 member team). I've worked with the founder before and I like the company. The founder has mentioned that it'll take time to learn the nuances of the product/industry but since I'm a somewhat senior person (9 years exp.), I wanted to see if there are any best practices out there to increase the speed of knowledge transfer/onboarding so that I can connect the dots faster, so to speak.

We do have a set of required reading material that I've gone through, along with product demos, and even 2 VC books that have been recommended on the subject. But unfortunately, I still feel left behind. I need repetition to understand something deeply. Kind of like rote.

The lack of knowledge is obviously going to affect my growth somewhere down the line as well as in identifying opportunities for the company's growth.

I'm looking for advice on what can I do more from folks who joined a company/product/industry that they knew nothing about and how long it took you to get comfortable with it?
What's your outcome? Are you actually asking for a "No AWS" license?

AGPL is fine - it ensures that open source projects remain open source. If a vendor hosts an AGPL project as is (unlikely imho) and is able to point to the existing repo for source, then that's great. If they make changes to the code, they must also make that source available through a compatible license.
Semiconductor manufacturing is very capital intensive so running the company as a nonprofit is a nonstarter.

You've presented historical data to counter the of argument that wage/salary growth MAY lead to potential unprofitability solely on the basis of one year's profit numbers. That's literally driving forward looking in the rearview mirror because it says very little about how profitable the company would be if it raised wages/salaries. At best it may be a first order approximation of how profitable the company would have been in 2022, if it paid people more then. However, even for 2022 the calculation isn't as simple as dividing the profit by the number of employees and keeping the company profitable.

Alexander Obenauer's Lab Notes
> There are so many different rules to follow. Just posting something in a random sub comes with a 50/50 chance of your post getting removed or shadow-banned.

Reddit has god awful UX/I and makes moderation very difficult. They could help themselves with very simple features like post templates and flows, but instead, every semi-popular subreddit faces a daily onslaught of low effort users posting repetitious garbage. Users will feel frustrated by seeing the garbage, but also launch into righteous complaints about mods if they're moderated.

They also make it clear that a post is being held for moderation and then encourage the user to message the moderators directly, so now you have low effort, high volume, and a guaranteed sense of immediate opposition.

The real takeaway for me is that at this point, Reddit is popular because it's popular, not because it deserves anything.
