The best open source software is developed by unpaid people. Even the ones with companies around them, the best work is done in the first phase when everyone is still unpaid.

The "cuts into their revenues" part usually mostly affects their ability to keep developing the non open source parts anyway, their SaaS dashboard, their billing, etc.

Take redis, you could never change it again and it's fine. There's no need to support anyone, it's complete software that stands on its own.
There's many things that I don't like about how open source works, but non-discriminatory licensing is not one of them.

In fact, the concept of the four freedoms as necessary parts of a more fundamental freedom is one of the things that I value the most about the free software/open source world.

In hindsight, I think that the probability that things turned out the way they did in this regard was relatively low, but the ideological drive of GNU and RMS made the world see the problem from a philosophical perspective rather than a practical one (even among people that don't fully agree with RMS/GNU/FSF).
According to the linked article, Amazon has contributed 5% of the contributions to Redis, while Redis, the company, has contributed 20%.
My non-techie brother has been staking his 1 ETH he bought couple of years ago and has earned today, in his words, “slightly more than from my insurance savings account in the past 10 years”. I think that’s a really nice use case.
If you believe FB is in the business of selling user data, then giving out user data for free is not an optimal move.
It exists in the US as well (Zelle), except due to the super high number of banks, not all will have feature parity / have it enabled. The major banks like Chase support QR code scanning for instant transfers, smaller ones might require a phone number or email input via keyboard.
I've been planning to use a non-enforcement model for a future project. Some users will always pay, because of corporate policy or ethics. Some will never pay and will reverse engineer out any software license checks. Asking the user if they have a license keeps the honest ones honest and permits ad-hoc free trials, emergency use, and other reasonable "unlicensed use".
I’ve seen reference that people tend to bias towards odd numbers for “random” numbers. I wouldn’t be surprised if we consider prime numbers to “be even more randomer”.
Because it wasn't personal or individualized. You'd probably also be more vengeful if it was someone who had stolen your credit cards (or identity).

The same reason why the bigger the company, the more the public lets them get away with.
It's not just law enforcement, it's the political system that controls the law enforcement, and the voters who elect that political system. Most Americans really believe that wealth is earned and that strong measures to reduce wealthy peoples' wealth are morally wrong, so anyone who tries such a thing by political means will fail quickly at the polls, and anyone who tries by extra-political action will fail because the whole system, including law enforcement and a large chunk of American society, disagree with them and will oppose them. Heck, a significant portion of American society actually believes that wealth shows that God loves someone, and wealthy people are blessed by God!

IMO, if you really believe that high wealth inequality is a bad thing for society, your best bet is to simply move to another society where your values are more in-line with the people and social structure there.
That's not how any of this works. Criminals generally have poor executive function but plenty of non criminals also do as well. The strongest predictors are situational, and we do everything we can to ensure they can't escape those situations by branding them for life with a criminal record and providing little to no opportunity for improvement.
I was on devinfra/source control (worked 2012-2018 in that area before switching to Libra) so we weren't making decisions, but we got to saw a bunch of what happened as it happened. Onavo was always treated as pretty sus among the people I worked with, who were largely linux/free software/security types.

As Pedro said in the email described in [1], no sufficiently well-informed, security-minded person could ever be comfortable with Onavo.

I'm in a similar boat. But I am resisting meds. I always think I can pull it together with the right system and discipline.

I wouldn't trade the creativity and hyperfocus for anything. I feel I am on a journey and the one trick is to figure out how to beat this thing. But I am desperately struggling to get things done versus endless ideation/dreaming.

So I am very curious as to what you tried and why it didn't work. And of course, I hope there is something you didn't try that will work for me.

I have such a delicate balance at the moment and I cannot afford to disrupt it with meds, and could not afford to have med tolerance build after a few years leading me worse than when I started. EVERYONE tells me I should just take meds. The pressure is high. But I never will.

People won't stop flying until they do - or at least stop flying on Boeing aircraft. And if airlines can't make a profit on a Boeing aircraft flight, there won't be any more Boeing aircraft flights.

I don't know whether the point where the market for Boeing aircraft travel is one disaster away or ten disasters away, but it is out there. When it comes, people won't stop flying, but they will fly less, and it will cost more. It can happen.

Twitter says traditional media is dieing and it is the new source of authentic news(Derived from Elon's tweet 28Mar24). And vox says otherwise. However Vox still do have active twitter handle.

So its all perplexed situation to make any conclusions.
absolutely disagree.

an engineering design document is about information retrieval, not education. It's not made to entertain or educate about new concepts, it's made to be terse and rigidly structured for the sake of aiding the work of the reader and to provide reliable information recall methods for those reading it.

I don't want to know what 'problems are worth attacking' when reading a design document, I want to know what tolerance criteria the hole on the left flange needs to meet.

There is more wiggle-room for artistic expression when we're talking about analytical papers like feasibility and failure analysis. It doesn't belong in the design phase. It creates confusion and ambiguity for the reader often, and those two things need not be introduced into design more than they already exist.
It looks like the link you shared is working now.

The links I have configured in my rss2email application are all showing HTTP 200 OK, with suitable content too.

False alarm?
I totally agree. The perception that, say, credit cards are fast and free is completely wrong, and based on the comfortably ignorant idea that things that only impact other people don't really exist.

If there's one useful thing to take from it, it's that I think it does usefully highlight just how critical that perception is for adoption -- specifically, how thoroughly it dominates technical concerns like throughput and latency. Perhaps if shop owners were prepared to eat the bitcoin transaction fee the same way they eat the credit card fee, bitcoin might have a resurgence as a cash alternative. There would still be the transaction speed issue -- I think it would require a third party to step in to provide merchants with guarantees (in exchange for a fee), so that the merchant wouldn't have to wait for the transaction to go through. But that's not a tech problem -- it's the same problem that credit cards already have, and have already solved.

I asked for "source" because I know that this is "repeated ad nauseam in the Internet" while being provably false.

The very first result on your google query is a bitcoin.com page that is 404, but archive.org has this:

The Ethereum network started off with a supply of 72 million Ether (ETH).
Eighty-three percent of that (60 million) was distributed to people who had
purchased ETH in a crowd sale that was conducted in July and August of 2014.

(...)

Of the remaining 12 million ETH distributed at the launch of the network in 2015,
half was split amongst 83 early contributors to the protocol based mostly on time
contributed. The other half were set aside for the Ethereum Foundation.

So, the "50% to contributors" is actually 8.33%.

> consensus has a relationship with fees because it is linked with the cost of reaching consensus!

Wrong. Fees are determined by network activity and the amount of transactions competing to get into the block being "mined". The cost to validate a full block is not really different than the cost to validate a block that is not completely full.

If Algorand or Cardano ever got close to the transaction volume from Ethereum, you can bet that their average transaction fees would go up accordingly.

It seems like the logic for the lawsuit is that Snapchat and other advertisers had something in their ToS with words to the effect of "thou shalt not let our competitors packet capture our traffic" and Facebook induced the customers to breach that agreement. The Wiretap Act stuff seems like nonsense though. If the consumer installed software with their informed consent to record their phone use, that's not illegal wiretapping.
Are there even any non-VC-backed companies with those issues? Whenever this drama and forking happens, it seems to be venture capital.

I think it's more useful to think of ZCash's featureset not as privacy defaulting to on or off, but as giving you the option to have pseudonyms.

If you were running a non profit and you wanted people to be able to anonymously contribute to it, but you wanted to prove to your anonymous donors that all of their donations were being spent in accordance with the goals of the nonprofit, you might use ZCash transparent vs shielded addresses as a way to create that division between transparent and opaque.

As for t-addresses having been default, that's a regulatory hack. Exchanges have a better shot at being compliant if they can use the chain as a source of truth. So t-addresses let them create a space where they can do that, and then you as a user can privately move funds out of the exchange's domain and into a black hole without having to get your hands dirty with some other exchange.

Yes I know that monero let's you generate keys for this on a tx by tx basis, but it's not the same. It's just different privacy properties with different use cases.

Monero, however, has the objectively superior CLI. It's fantastic.
Being forced as whistle-blower and being suicidal are again very different things. Especially when he was in the middle of proving he's right. And right in the middle of the fight, between the testimonies, after he spent so much effort to prove he's right, he decides "fuck it all" and quits abruptly? Doesn't add up. Maybe something else happened but I just am astonished how easily people dismiss it. Ah, he was anxious and stressed? We'll, it's only natural then. No it's not.

IMHO it's even worse. Once we figure out P vs NP, we will understand what it means to invert boolean functions algorithmically, and all mathematics will be replaced with an automated process.

Today, most of the math is figuring out how to solve an equation, i.e. to give an algorithm to calculate the solution. We then "quantize" the algorithm to a state machine (e.g. convert reals to floats, algorithm steps to machine code), so that we could run the state machine on a computer and get a result.

However, once you know what it takes to invert boolean functions, you don't need the solution step, you can just quantize your equation (problem) directly to a SAT instance, and let the inversion algorithm do all the hard work. No (elegant and readable) math is required anymore.

So I think we better treat mathematics as a "useless" human artifact (like art or chess) rather than something of practical value.
I don't think the point here is to make a math paper understandable to a lay person, but rather make it interesting and contextualize it for other academics.

This is good advice, but for a very different problem.

1. The problem in math is not that the way the "orthodoxy" insists on presenting things in a suboptimal way, but that if the reviewers find a good explanation of your result, they'll recommend that you publish in a lower-ranked venue than your result would ordinarily merit (at least unless you solved a famous problem). So researchers are incentivized to make the presentations of the proofs as opaque as possible. You can see this in conference and workshop talks (which tend to happen pre-publication in math), in many fields speakers always avoid presenting _any_ proofs. Putting better explanations in an appendix, which the referees can read, simply wouldn't help.

2. Being easy-to-understand at first is actively punished, but even being easy-to-understand in the long run is not rewarded. You can always write an explanatory blog post after the publication decision has been made, but you won't put effort into writing one if you don't gain anything from it. This applies even more to the people in the example, who wrote on a typewriter in the 1970s. There were no blogs, and it was much harder to get an appendix through because page limits were physical limits, and the act of writing was much more onerous before the age of computers and LaTeX. There was no point to doing it given that it was actively discouraged.
No, it's completely insane that pressing a joystick button can remove the screen lock and this isn't seen as a security issue.

Yeah, cost of labor excuse seems to be mostly bullshit. Half the parts in a Tesla are still made in China. How many hours truly go in assembly and giga pressing in America?

The price difference is simply due to Tesla having bigger batteries, bigger motors, bigger hype, and I'm going to assume all those FSD engineers aren't cheap (Even though they have yet to produce anything of value).
Via email I've pointed the CapRover author at the osi-discuss mailing list, where they can ask questions and clarify their own understanding of things:

I don't want instant transactions. Clawbacks are very useful. Now the trick is to get that decentralized which means things like smart contracts? But still I haven't seen a good solution.
This is referring to ECC as reported from an out-of-band management controller on those specific motherboards. This needs either some platform-level integration into the memory controller (which is unlikely to be present on consumer Ryzen), or an driver/agent running on the host OS that captures ECC events and sends them to the out-of-band management controller.

Standard ECC events are handled by the OS, and don't depend on (or otherwise interact with) an out-of-band management controller or any other external device. This works fine on Ryzen.
Just because an idea wasn't implemented or didn't become popular doesn't mean it's not a good idea. I have always strongly felt that expansion cards in desktop computers should work more like this rather than requiring the case to come off.
More of a “back car” - the Sinclair ZX80 and ZX81 used piggybacking RAM with passthrough to other peripherals. It was a really fragile setup - the ram pack in particular would glitch out when typing.
OP, OpenSearch, OpenTofu all seem to indicate the jury is still out on this one. I still see many smaller projects using open core. Three I started using recently ( llama-index, langfuse, qdrant ) are in this category.

There is certainly a difference between AGPL and BUSL style licenses. One of the new projects I'm using as some of their code with a BUSL style, but still open core primarily
The tragedy (depending on how you look at it) with discussions about consciousness is that any possible consciousness we envision is inevitably human-like. We wouldn’t see it as “consciousness” even if it was only somewhat different from ours (animals); a consciousness that is really different may look to us like any natural process.

A question of “is X conscious?” has no meaning if you remove that constraint of “human-like”. Like with any question we ask, we cannot remove ourselves from this one.

> IMHO it's even worse. Once we figure out P vs NP, we will understand what it means to invert boolean functions algorithmically, and all mathematics will be replaced with an automated process.

I'm sorry, but that's just naive techno-solutionism. Maybe the computer will be able to solve your syntax problems, i.e., write proofs. It will never know anything about the semantics.

Said differently. Maybe the computer will be able to give you a proof on demand on statement number 123456789 in some Gödel numbering of statements. What it won't be able to tell you is that the theorem should be called the "intermediate value theorem" and what it means. Math isn't just coming up with formally correct proofs for pre-existing statements.

I also don't see what "P vs NP" has to do with anything.

I'm a mathematician. What you wrote is just bonkers. Some parts of math are about writing algorithms to solve equations. The vast majority of math isn't.
I clicked through to ask this, as well.

I appreciated Dioxus directly addressing that in the README, but would also be interested to hear experiences from people with experience using both of them.

With Tauri, I built a toy desktop app to see whether the IPC was fast enough that the web frontend could update and do stuff on every keystroke without lagging (yes), and whether it could send a big file roundtrip from the frontend to the Rust layer and back to the frontend on every keystroke (no, not in my naive toy implementation anyway).

It seems like there's be many use cases where either Tauri or Dioxus would be fine, and some use cases where Dioxus would be better. Would love to hear comparative experiences, or even "we chose Dioxus|Tauri for our project because of X and Y" type stories.

Dioxus looks really cool, and I'm excited to try it.

It's possible, there just needs to be someone willing to put the work in and to present the data in a manner that makes it accessable, easy to parse, and profitable enough to cover at least time and costs.
