Lefties often fill the ranks of elite private schools like the ones described above.

There are a set of beliefs which one can hold personally because they are shielded from the consequences of living on that belief. Since the wealthy and liberal are not as dependent on society, they often voice opinions that are more transgressive (like removing advanced classes for "equality")
Maybe SQLite isn't that big, but Red Hat makes billions of dollars of annual revenue. GitLab is a public decacorn (or was one yesterday, anyways). Those are good businesses, and I'm pretty sure a good chunk of us run software from both of these.
meteorite watches are nothing unusual, exotic or expensive. there are also watches made from former soviet soviet space program debris(rockets) so you have a piece of metal that went into space(orbit) and back. i do not recall the name of the brand but it was very inexpensive and quite cool.

>This is fine, people are allowed to act against their own financial interests. That's one thing that having ownership means is that you can ruin the thing you own for any or no reason. The court has zero reason to intervene if a majority creditor is giving up their own share of the proceeds for any or no reason.

You're oversimplifying this. If someone owes you $1B and they owe me $2B, and they've got an asset worth $500M, I can't just pledge $2B of bad debt to buy the asset. The only fair way is to sell it for $500M in actual cash. Then it gets divied up accordingly.

>This is a non-issue, the trustee was given wide latitude to dispose of the assets in any way he deems fit.

Isn't it telling that the same judge said it was done improperly? Trustees have an obligation to follow standard practices which maximize cash flow or at least don't give the appearance of impropriety.

This part from the original commenter resonates so well with me. Working basically as a solo dev, it's fantastic to have something that provides feedback and can challenge the ideas I have, so that the final result is good.
This is interesting. Can you go into a bit more detail on why the WASM decompiling would be helpful as opposed to just using the native codebase?
I've worked on competitors to the mb system from legacy auto; generally the way we work is make the best possible system for the long term, then limit the odd to meet safety, regulatory, and brand risk requirements.

So there will be a system happily running producing target driving paths, but some monitoring system disables in the case with no car in front.

I would guess that the mb system is in fact ok without a car in front, but didn't hit their appetite for risk yet.
Yeah, and in English, people constantly confuse Pink (light red) with Magenta (red+blue). Our notion of Blue isn't so pure either, since it's considered acceptable to call Cyan a type of blue, yet no one would ever make the mistake of calling Red and Orange by the same name. That's already halfway to thinking that Green is also a type of blue.

Genuinely what’s the big deal? I used Git as a frontend to a Subversion remote because that’s what “IT” had. Any decent Git contender (read: worthy early adopting) will have the same capability.

Right now both Git power users and Git anti-users (minimum care) cooperate on the same code. Some making fantastic Git histories (or yak shaving with rebase too hard) and some doing “backup for the dayy”.

Maybe one of them is even using Jujutsu behind the scenes. Who knows? Ahh, maybe that’s why he has forgotten that one switch to git-rebase that you need two times a quarter.

You don’t need any momentum or organization backing or people in your corner in order to start trying out a Git alternative.

I never said that nationwide would be more achievable. I think both options would work.

I’m asking why you think public healthcare works for countries with 90 million inhabitants but doesn’t work for 330 million.

> There was also talk in a video I think from Jamelle Bouie of the NYT talking about these groups going further and declaring anyone that subsequently went on to be naturalized while living here under these and other programs to have their citizenship revoked.

Does he actually have some evidence they're planning on doing that, and have plausible plans to execute it, or is it the typical hyperbolic fear-mongering from Trump's opponents? Retroactively revoking the citizenship of every H1-B who went on to get naturalized (after probably a 10 year process and relying on the law as universally understood at the time), sounds like utter nonsense that probably hasn't been seriously proposed and would go nowhere if it was.

> and this is a part of the Chevron Deference ruling

Do you have any idea what the Chevron Deference ruling was? IIRC, it only says the courts have to make their own interpretation when a regulatory law is ambiguous, rather than always deferring to the interpretation of an executive agency. I don't think it means "all these regs are null and void now, kthxbye."
AGPL covers users interacting with the software remotely through a computer network which is not the same as covering hosting. There's often overlap but if it really is hosting that a project doesn't want to allow then they need something other than AGPL.
No one is claiming number factoring advances. That would require much longer lived qubits entanglement than is currently possible. The tech is clearly advancing forward though.
I think his point was essentially that it's possible to have technically correct nitpicks that are irrelevant. You see this all the time from naysayers.
The point is not that it's likely (or practically possible) that such a brain would come into being spontaneously. The point is that it is (mathematically) still more likely than some other theories about the formation of the universe (namely those that give it the order we see, low entropy, by "miraculous" happy accident), thus showing that those theories are most likely nonsense, by reductio ad absurdum. (Those other theories can't be true, otherwise we might as well find brains in space.)
> Stay away from startups with capricious, absentee or already wealthy founders, find the most productive, stable environment you can.

I don’t think this is necessarily true. The job I learned most was one where I was the only tech person working on a product that had a more or less absent founder. I had to teach myself of course, but if you are self motivated you can learn a lot there.

Just don’t expect to get rewarded for it. See it as being paid in knowledge instead of money.

Humanity is what prevents scaling. We've demonstrated time-and-time again that we struggle to administer something at scale without the benefit of free market dynamics like supply and demand.
> ...that our time here on earth is a gift that we squander at our peril.

Yes but - it's up to each individual to decide on their own definition of 'squandering'. Ultimately everything we do is in service of our own search for meaning in life, and learning for its own sake can absolutely fulfil that role.
Shocking absolutely no one. It is no secret that outsourcing companies like Cognizant, Infosys, TCS, HCL, Wipro, Accenture, E&Y have been openly abusing the H-1B visa and the immigration system as a whole for decades. Lawsuits and fines are just a cost of doing business for them.

Meanwhile the debate surrounding it always devolves into "pro immigration" and "anti immigration" with the same generic talking points and all of the actual substance is lost.
But if you can have a Boltzmann brain, then you can also have stable environment pop into existence. In a simulation, there's no guarantee the simulation follows the parent universe's rules. It could be a simulation with made-up rules. Maybe exploring alternate kinds of universes.

You actually can, so long as it's the best offer for the other creditors. So long as you can come up with sufficient cash for the minority creditors you're entitled to dispose of the asset in any way you see fit. The Pennsylvania families came up with the cash (via The Onion's cash offer and structuring the payout).

I find it weird that they consider "particles which fluctuate", but these particles are a part of the universe already. There's nothing to fluctuate when the universe doesn't exist.

However, if something fluctuates somewhere eternally, then I'd say that it's possible that this random fluctuation causes a very simple computer to form which is able to update it's state based on some simple rules, which results in complexity, i.e. our universe. This way you wouldn't need complexity to pop up spontaneously, but just a simple thing which is able to simulate a complex thing.

It's a nice recap of recent advancements in theoretical computer science (quantum computing, adaptations to Dijkstra's algorithm, busy beavers).

They're both scams, just targeting different market segments. The ones in rich neighborhoods are trying to create this prestige/competition environment which excludes anybody who is going to be hard to teach. They're acting as a filter for latent talent / parents that are motivated to help teach. Perhaps some growth happens along the way, but that's not the goal.

By contrast, if you accept everybody then growth has to be a goal. You can't just push out the challenging students to improve your performance against whatever metrics you selected for yourself.

I've personally had like 5-6 family members pass away since 2021, both jabbed and unjabbed. All that says to me is that covid vaccines did pretty much nothing, which is understandable given they were made in such a short amount of time.
But it wasn't for my own adverse reaction that has screwed my life up, I would have been more skeptical of republican claims. Nothing convinces you more about the reality of something horrible than being the victim of it.

But that wasn't even a covid vaccine. Which to me says - "they're all terrible and dangerous to our health" because that vaccine should have been well tested and harmless. Something terrible is going on at big pharma. Lo and behold, the reputation laundering and funding black holes to big pharma since covid began. The state just simply lies to you. These companies simply just lie to you. All for money.
What ended in 1848? I don’t really get the relationship between these two unrelated things, you’re free to use whatever architectural style you want when building new houses and office buildings in France as far as I can tell.

By that standard other Europeans are even more conservative.. Germans rebuilt the Dresden Cathedral and palaces despite them being a complete ruin for decades. The Polish rebuilt Warsaw, Gdansk and I assume other cities almost entirely from scratch pretty much as replicas of their pre-war state.

What does that say about them?
I've counted OECD countries[1] (roughly 40 developed countries), and the US is in 15th place, on par with Spain. Hardly worth writing home about :-)

[1] This is the fairest comparison because people immigrate to rich countries in general. The only poor countries with lots of immigrants are generally safe poor countries right next to war-torn countries, which get lots of refugees.

Certainly creating a robust design that supports multiple screen sizes is no trivial matter. There are tools to make it easier but as with anything else, no single solution fits all developers and all projects. You say you're an experienced web developer and yet you find yourself deficient in this particular skill, so I'm not sure what to think. Maybe your strength lies more in back end programming?

In any case, I suggest looking into frameworks such as Bootstrap or Tailwind. Of course, there are also high-level solutions that don't require as much coding, e.g. WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, etc. WordPress plugins can make it very easy to apply fancy CSS effects without writing any CSS.

As for finding freelancers, I agree that's also a difficult task. I don't have any magic bullet there, other than to prioritize people with good, timely communication skills, and to avoid people on the low end of the price range since they will usually be less experienced.

I drive (and have driven) a fair number of rental cars due to travel, and I have to say I feel that way about many new vehicles in their entirety. So much vehicle tech is at best unimpressive and at worst positively in my way as a driver.

It sounds like your opinion is that the communication around the relicensing was the issue rather the relicensing itself, but from the standpoint of the people who decided there was enough of an issue to switch away from Redis, is that the case? As an outsider to the Redis community both before and after the schism, I don't know that you're wrong, but I have to imagine that if I were someone concerned enough to consider forking (or switching to a fork), I wouldn't be happy with someone involved in the project making a blanket statement about whether my motivations were actually about the licensing or not. Ironically, this seems like it's exactly the type of communication that could exacerbate concerns around licensing.
> It used to be that you could pick an open source project and build a business on it and expect that the project would stay available to you under those well understood terms.

I'm not familiar with what's happening in this Redis licence change.

But if it was Open Source at version N, and you built your business (or stack, etc) on top of that, N will remain forever available to you as FLOSS, not?

Is the problem maybe that ppl expect future updates, maintenance to remain Open Source? Something that, AFAIK, no Open Source licence guarantees? So, misaligned expectations?

> That's not the case any more - not just because of Redis, there are a number of other high-profile license rug-pulling projects.

It's not new. MySQL, Redhat and many others have done this for ages in the floss community.
