Such a system would just get gamed by people with rich friends/family or rich people who have the fortune of saving up 10k in liquid funds before losing their current job and can just buy their way into a job.

It only expands income inequality and is frankly disgusting.

It unbalances access to jobs by family wealth and creates yet another:tm: skip annoying thing if you are rich enough and/or have enough friends who are rich enough. Somebody coming out of a life hiccup like family issues or health issues is gonna have a harder time skipping the interview while also having a harder time interviewing.

The return on investment aspect could just get gamed by companies being excessively selective on which candidates they allow to stay past 2 months.

And finally it extends the worse thing that exists in our society: "It's easier to make money if you have money."

This is what creates and enforces our class system, this is what makes it harder for historically disadvantaged groups to get ahead, and such a product would just extend this.

The anger is justified, such systems can not be allowed to exist.

Section 230 stopped protecting amazon from this the moment amazon started taking down reviews that called out incentives.

They are liable

before, people got reviews from friends and personal connections, not a sidebar on google maps.

I don't want to support a company that held back computational advancements for a decade by engaging in anti-competitive practices towards their main competitor then using the gained ground to justify slowing down cpu advancements.

I don't want to support the market segmentation that intel does with ECC and raid. Especially given the single core pref hit you take moving from the mainline i7-i9 cpus to the equivalent xeon ones thats on top of the 2x to 3x mark up for no reason.

In short there is an ethical issue with buying intel some people want to avoid.

they want the ability to use it as an external keyboard, by just setting it on top of the existing keyboard, then removing it when they need to close the laptop. they don't want to do this now, because they worry about damaging something by doing so.

So they want the laptop to have a blank cover where the keyboard normally is, so they have somewhere to put their mech keyboard while they use the laptop.

"Gluten free, intermittent fasting" are pseudoscience health trends and trying to strawman them as "eating healthy" is disingenuous.

> I'm not sure if going after open source projects that can make money is the best way to promote open source software.

but im not doing that.

I'm going after open source projects that can make money (by building closed source infrastructure) taking other peoples open source projects and moneifying them into a new """open source""" project (where 99% of the meat is in closed source cloud infrastructure) as a way to piggy back off of the work of other people so that they can advertise on hacker news.

Like, if the repo actually added something substantial and new to the project, that would be one thing.

If this was an article that explained how to do the gluing/config work this github repo does, also, another thing. even if hosted/made by the cloud company. That at least appeals to the intellectual pursuit.

But this is just some config files.

That seems disingenuous don't you think.

The only thing they added was a dependency on a closed source 3rd party """cloud""" service. This is basically the open source equivalent to blog spam and should be rightfully put down.

And the post you're replying to isn't even trying to do that! Its just suggesting that hacker news would find more benefit out of the original repo over some closed source cloud bait made by an employee of said proprietary cloud service.

> you might get lucky and have a cultural resurgence as artists, musicians, restauranteurs, local retail, etc etc can afford to live and set up shop downtown again.

The question really comes down to how much downtown real estate is paid off or under mortgage, which basically depends on how recently it was sold to a new owner.

Anything under a mortgage will be subject to a CMBS that was valued based on the worth of renting out the units in the building. These will have terms setup such that if the owner lowers the rent, they will be required to pay an additional down payment to cover the lost value in the mortgage's collateral (the building) from the now lower rents.

CMBS's will be invested in by multiple investors at different risk levels, creating different incentives on modifying or maintaining the collateral requirements, and anywhere from 50% to 75% of the investors will have to agree to any changes to the loan terms.

In short, some landlords downtown are bound by terms forbidding them from lowering rents without having to pay a huge capital expense for the privilege to do so.

Apple didn't have to lock users out of installing "unapproved" apps on their own. That isn't for the user's benefit and isn't necessary for apple to have a curated app store.

Don't you think that is something apple should have thought of before doing what they did to cause outcry?

Apple wanted to be the gatekeeper blocking out harmful apps, fine by me.

Apple then wanting to use that gatekeeper status to steal money from app developers, block apps that compete with apple internal apps, and enforce moral choices on what kinds of apps you can install on your phone, evil by me.

They could have done the former without doing the latter, but they fucked it up, and have to pay the piper.

The GPL can't actually force them to license their downstream changes, just revoke their ability to use the upstream project if they don't, and sue for infringement for damages.

I saw the payout pastebin, but i'm very curious what the amazon vs stream cut is for sub revenue in particular. This is the key thing steamers negotiate with twitch over, and is covered by the nda.

rumor was recently negotiations have been very cut and dry for newer big/up and coming streamers basically being told to take some algorithmically assigned cut or give up partner status.

They talk about what their services observed related to bgp traffic from facebook. They are an authority on that.

They talk about their dns traffic changes from facebook's outage. They are an authority on that.

>At the fact that they are presenting themselves as authorities on the incident, when they have no internal knowledge of what triggered the events, because they are not Facebook engineers. They provide an explanation of BGP that you can glean by reading virtually any other introductory explainer, and turn it into a chance to promote their own service.

This is not an honest representation of the article.

They talk about what their services observed related to bgp traffic from facebook. They are an authority on that.

They talk about their dns traffic changes from facebook's outage. They are an authority on that.

They talk about suspected causes, based on the observable data, and guess what, given they are who they are, this is something they are a subject matter expert on.

"we saw a spike in bgp traffic from facebook followed by a bunch of route withdrawals. we think this could be a bgp configuration issue [given we took large chunks of the internet down 2 years via the same fuckup]"

Is something in the subject matter wheelhouse of cloudflare, yes.

The internet phone book to convert .coms to ip addresses only scales up to the load level of hte internet because results are cached at multiple layers.

your browser asks your computer which asks your router which asks your isp which asks .com's dns servers which ask facebook's dns servers for facebook's ip address.

each layer will cache the results so say, even if 100,000 people in seattle want to know facebook.com's ip address, only the 5 or isps who provide internet in seattle have to ask for facebook.com's ip address, so 100,000 requests, but only 5 actual requests.

even the per-device and per-home cache is helpful, because 500 page loads in 15 minutes still only results in 1 actual dns request.

Here's the issue:

Failures aren't cached.

so while 100,000 people in 1 second trying to get facebook's ip only resulted in 5 requests going to the core dns servers, now results in 100,000 requests in 1 second trying going to the core servers.

One of the first optimizations large/high traffic sites will do, is cache pages for logged out users. even if the cache is only valid for a minute, that's still a huge reduction in server traffic.

The cache is faster because its not having to talk to the database, and can be done at by the load balancing layers rather then the actual application layer.

Wikipedia does this too (although, via a layer to add back on the ip talkpage header).

Rumormill is suggesting that facebook badge readers are also down causing issues with trying to get to the servers to manually fix them.

So many versions and rewrites of wikis.

github even has their own wiki system.

None of them support pull requests. (wikipedia supports patch/diff style manual change requests done via talk pages which is sorta gets you there, but not quite the github style automated pull request work flow i'd love to see supported)

Its honestly a shame.

0% of it is justified because if they had a reason to suspect a crime they would arrest the owner and use criminal asset forfeiture.

Freenet generally has peers act as file stores. This presents some concerns people would have, but also presents an interesting question:

With the existence of crypto that requires large disk spaces to mine coins, could you abuse freenet for this goal?

This seems kinda silly to me.

The channel is named Louis Rossmann, not "Right to repair with Louis Rossmann" I don't know why the channel has to be only about right to repair, nor do i understand how these videos can distract from the right to repair message.

Nobody until those employers start paying enough and stop making the job harder for the sake of policies that only serve the employers interests.

can't get workers to work hard 8 hours a day doing hard labor, maybe add more breaks than the minimum you are legally required to? Or maybe stop suspending the workers next two shifts because they were 5 minutes late from traffic 1 too many times? Maybe consider that threatening to fire workers if they don't work late or overtime isn't productive? Maybe stop paying minimum wage which hasn't risen with inflation or rent prices and increase your prices out to compensate or consider that if baseline worker wages have risen slower than inflation, but management's wages has risen faster than inflation, you've had to do so off the back of your workers ability to have spending money outside of barely living.

The majority of the jobs that can't hire people are customer facing jobs where the job is to be treated like garbage by customers

> Economics doesn't care about your feelings or your dreams.

This is an example of business thinking gone wrong.

Economics prescribes behaviors to humans using logical and historical arguments, and tries work out how this scales up.

You can't use it to pretend humanity doesn't exist.

> If you need money to pay your bills and the only way to get that money is to work a shit job, you will work the shit job.

I think you'll find the rising homeless problem in every major city in america proves this wrong.

Sometimes you just get anxious and depressed until you fall into an addiction fueled rut and you end up homeless and clueless.

the benefits have already ended. Places still can't get workers.
