Yes, you are free to create a fork.

In reality, it's nearly impossible to keep up with Google's development pace and their behavior of dumping huge changesets and lack of documentation and communication wears everyone out. If you have some exposure to biology/ecology you'll recognize the behavior as very effective at killing off diversity in ecosystems. It's like trying to co-exist on a lake with someone that keeps deliberately causing giant algal blooms.
I can see where you're coming from. Removing content because you'd have to warn viewers about it makes sense, I suppose.

Though trigger warnings don't mean the work is "bad", just it might cause problems for a small fraction of viewers.

No, but she might be older or younger, live in a different part of the country, be more likely single or married, have different ancestry, have a different career, live in a household with a different fractional number of children, ...

Any of these things could have an impact at least as great as the raw passage of time. IMHO, much more interesting to look at comparable individuals. Parents and their children and grandchildren at the same ages, for example.
Sure, what you described actually weights exactly 0 pounds.

But in general the volume of a sphere grows with the cube in regards to the radius, thus gaining an inch of height could add a lot of mass. How much depends on the object shape.

the open h.264 blob thing is annoying, but it's supposed to be a reproducible build of open source software.

The reason why there's a blob is because for that binary, Cisco pays the patent licenses.

So you can verify the source for any issues, verify whether it matches the binary, and work around MPEG-LA licensing at the same time (there are caps, and Cisco seems to have calculated that even when running into them, they're still better off with having webrtc support h.264 everywhere).

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel that style of writing rubs them the wrong way...? It seems excessively verbose and vague.

Except Github is closed-source and they make money on private repositories, i.e. closed-source. So it's actually closed-source software that brings them the profits.

Trigger warnings are fundamentally misguided; actual triggers for people with a past history of trauma are often not yhe type of things that get trigged warnings; the things that get trigger warnings are just things that are likely to be sensitive independent of such history, because "trigger" has been the subject of appropriation by people who want society to cater to their political sensitivity week found that mere "offense" want powerful enough.

Some people might be triggered by them, but real triggered are as likely to be, say, a scent that has become associated with the traumatic event because it was present at the time. "Trigger warnings" are based on a kind of intellectual association which had little relation to his actual triggering works but a lot to do with his run out the mill offense works.

Real triggering can only meaningfully be addressed with sensitivity to actual individual triggers, and any meaningful eastbound and agree disagree would be highly lesson-specific. The modern phenomenon of "trigger warnings" and "safe spaces" if just privileging a certain set of political sensitivities and aesthetic preferences, not addressing actual safety from trauma triggers.

I am simply stating that if you choose a content resource that does not require upfront payment but mingles their content with advertisements, there's an implicit social contract...

Well, there isn't.

...and in some cases an explicit use policy, that defines how that transaction should proceed.

If these terms are expressed clearly at the top of every page then I agree that there is an understanding of the publisher's wishes. That doesn't mean I should feel obliged to honour them though.

In all cases, it should be obvious that if you desire something (in this case, content), but are unwilling to pay the cost (in this case, viewing advertising), then the correct response is to not take the content.

Look, a lot of people run websites because they have something they want to share with others; maybe something important to them. They often work hard to produce the content in their spare time. They put ads on there as an afterthought to help cover the maintenance costs, but they would never do that if they thought it would turn visitors away.

I for one would never want someone to think he wasn't welcome on my site because he chooses not to download certain assets, especially when - in the case of advertising - they're assets I have no control over and may be advertising products I don't even support.

How are you helping this issue by making it harder to tell which users are viewing advertising and which are not?

I'm not making it harder, I'm making it easier. I downloaded the content but not the ad, therefore I wanted the content but didn't want the ad.

Forgive me if that sounds a bit like a rationalization of your current behavior after the fact.

I don't even know what to make of this.

Minecraft Hololens Gameplay Demo [video]
A guy that I used to work with was dealing with a horror story scenario around Lyme disease. His wife had it and after going to multiple doctors found one who discovered that it was somehow affecting the pituitary gland. Prior to this his wife was basically in bed, living on pain killers in a constant state of fog and misery.

Once this doctor recommended treatment with human growth hormone, her symptoms dramatically improved, she was able to get off of the pain killers and even was able to drive again. She had her life back.

But then all of the controversy around HGH happened in terms of people abusing it as a steroid and her doctor LOST HER LICENSE for prescribing it to her. Symptoms reversed and she went back to misery and pain killers. They went to doctor after doctor and told them exactly what happened and how much she had improved on the HGH. Showed VIDEO. None of the other doctors would a) believe it or b) prescribe it because of the risk to their own careers.

I cannot imagine what type of hell that must be to KNOW exactly what you need to get relief, to KNOW that it's readily available, but not be able to get it because some agency that you've never had contact with doesn't think you should have it.

Call me a snob, but after reading too many beautifully typeset LaTeX books/papers, trying to reading math in fonts like this is very off putting.
Assuming your code base is already internationalized (strings are separated from code, you're using libraries for things like plurals and number/date formats), then localizing your app is mainly about maintaining translated versions of the strings.

Your choice of tool should probably be informed by whether or not you will use paid translators and/or you hope that users will contribute some of the translations.

- If your users are passionate enough that you can get multiple users contributing/checking translations for each language, then you could subscribe to CrowdIn or Transifex to host your strings. Your only cost will be the monthly fee.

- If you need to pay translators for some/all language pairs, then you could use one of the platforms above, along with translators you find, or you could get a complete-ish service (platform + translations) from a single provider. ISTR both Smartling and Transifex do this.

In any case, think about:

- How often strings will change, and what you'll do when they do

- How you'll make sure that you don't translate the same strings multiple times (and pay multiple times). Most platforms that also provide translation will also have a Translation Memory for this purpose.

- Whether and how you'll check the quality of translation

- Whether you want to store the translation on your server (probably) or whether you want the translations served dynamically from a separate server (worth considering, IMO not worth it).

(I am a Product Manager at Google, working on our app translation service for Google Play developers. This service doesn't cover your use case, and the opinions above are my own, not Google's.)

1. stretch goals are just sales goals, there's no reason they have to correspond to actual costs.

2. that's gross, not net. Subtract 5% for kickstarter, 3% for the credit cards, royalties for game shipments and reward costs, and you're probably looking at less than $50K

3. good professional translation costs ~$30K per man-month if you use an agency. I wouldn't be surprised if Shenmue contains more than a novel's worth of text.

I am beyond excited! I never thought Shenmue 3 would be released. I remember when Shenmue 1 came out, it was billed as Yu Suzuki's opus, and at the time the world's most expensive game at 70 million USD. To leave your opus unfinished must be hard, so I'm glad he's getting to finish it up properly (or, given the success, continue it).

For a certain generation of gamer, Shenmue isn't just a game, it's an event. It's a game I've often thought of over the years, to me it felt like a truly adult gaming experience. And to this day I still feel like it's one of the best examples of using gaming as a storytelling medium. I thought I would have to go my whole life not knowing if Ryo Hazuki would get revenge on Lan Di, and now, finally I'll get some closure.

Cringely doesn't understand the difference between immigrant and non-immigrant visas if he recommends the EB-2 as an alternative to the H-1B. The EB-2 is a green card application for a foreign worker who wants to live in the US permanently; the H-1B is for people who just want to work in the US for some period of time. All countries have similar distinctions between workers and long-term residents, and confusing them is a strong indicator that the writer doesn't know what he is talking about.

Cringely is also wrong in at least one important respect about the EB-2 visa: its numbers do indeed fill up every year, just like for the H-1B, for Indian and Chinese applicants. So if you file an EB-2 based visa application this year, it will take you about 10 years to receive your EB-2 based green card if you are Indian, and 5 years if you are Chinese. The US Government was, as of February 2015, processing EB-2 applications received in September 2005 for Indian applicants, for example [1].

Is Cringely then suggesting that companies wait 5-10 years for new foreign employees to join them?

I've posted about this before on Hacker News, but it's a common misconception here that H-1B workers are somehow "indentured", or that they cannot switch employers. Under the AC-21 act of 2000 [2], H-1B employees can switch employers with a single H-1B transfer filing, and even start working at their new employer while their H-1B transfer application to their new employer is in process. Further, the H-1B transfer application is not subject to the yearly cap (which has been regularly reached in recent years), so there is almost no chance of it being denied. In practice, this means that H-1B workers have as much job mobility as native American workers.

The bad actors in the H-1B program are indeed the Indian outsourcing companies, which need to be investigated and punished for violations of the program, including paying below market wages. But there are many more good actors who use the H-1B program extensively -- Google, Facebook, and similar reputable American tech companies -- and they don't use it because they underpay their employees, but because they can't find enough qualified employees even given their high wages. There was a recent post on HN about the very high salaries paid by these companies to their H-1B employees, as disclosed in their H-1B visa applications.

Summary: For someone who claims to have written a long running series on the H-1B program, Cringely is disappointingly misinformed. The H-1B program has violations, which need to be properly investigated, but the EB-2 is not even close to a viable replacement for it. H-1B employees are not indentured labor and have high job mobility, except in the case of a few large outsourcing companies which do indeed deserve to be punished.
