Title is confusing refers to Open worlds Not Open software

I’m not in agreement with you.

The original poster is saying that as founder, no one cares to the level you do, no one else has as much at stake, others care but to a point.

The original posts point is that as founder it’s really up to you and no one else.

If this fails, as founder you lose all the things you risked, possibly everything you have. No one else is likely to have as much at risk as you. This means you care in a way and to a depth no one else does.

Of course others care, of course your grandma cares, of course your momma cares, of course head of marketing cares and of course the investor cares, but none of these people have everything on the line.

Everyone else except you can walk away. No one else is going to relentlessly hit this problem till it’s solves except you.

That’s the point.

Same is true of your own personal life.

It’s up to you to try to make it better through adversity.

Well duh.

OKCupid specifically requires your real name which is beyond stupid for a dating site.

Anyone whose done online dating knows about stalkers and the need to hide your identity but these guys want real names.

As for Grindr we’ll isnt that owned by China? What better place to entrust your most compromising personal information, and what better long term investment if you want compromising information that one day in the distant future might be to your advantage.

Apache Tika is a powerful text extraction engine.

Why this over Tika?

I built a big globally scalable system without Kubernetes or containers.

It’s very easy to understand and is highly reliable.

These sites specifically solicit such submissions, correct?

No it’s not.

Maybe a no shop clause should have a tight time to live.... “ok we commit but only if you put the money in our account within seven days, after that shopping is ok”

I’d rather not do the deal than have a no shop clause.

A no shop clause destroys so much deal leverage. I can see why the buyer would want it.

In fact a no shop clause is indistinguishable from an exclusivity agreement.

If the buyer absolutely required it I’d put a hefty non refundable price on it, probably 50% of deal value. Such a commitment has to work both ways.

You’d be crazy to guarantee exclusivity when negotiating sale of your company.

It would make more sense to give an absolute assurance that you’re talking to all possible buyers and that the potential buyer should understand that you might easily sell at any moment.

Exclusive negotiation is the precise opposite of a good approach.

Indeed implying that there are other negotiating parties is almost an essential component of any such negotiation.

Well that’s been going on for 20 years. There’s so many game consoles that have been created they are uncountable.

I was really taken with beos when it was a live product. However, Nextstep really was a much much better basis for taking Apple into the future compared to beos. As has been proven resoundingly first by the seamless switch from PowerPC to intel, and then the ongoing smoothness and general acceptance of OS X by industry.

I know it’s not universally loved but OSX/nextstep for me is really everything I could have wanted from an operating system.

What’s the relationship between Goldman Sachs and Microsoft?

That would be a reasonable outlook but antivaxxers spread cult like anti scientific beliefs that endanger the lives of many people beyind the individual antivaxxers.

This cult like behaviors isn’t deserving of ordinary empathy it needs to be seen for what it is and stopped. Fortunate many countries are doing this.

Adults are responsible.

I’m not trying to change their minds.

I have infinite sympathy for children infected with preventable diseases because adults chose not to vaccinate them, and for adults who cannot be vaccinated. Heartbreaking.

I have pretty much zero sympathy for adult antivaxxers who get infected - let evolution do its thing here.

Good to see Zed Shaw back.

Wonder what’s he’s doing these days....

What’s the tldr on why it is fast?

Absolutely not a joke.

I met a software engineer once and said “what do you do on your team?”

He said “I’m the webpack developer”.

Other countries/companies will thank for the economic opportunity.

I’m guessing there’s a market if it’s available and convenient to buy and of good quality and reasonably priced.

Ha. I could do this with git, an ec2 instance, sftp a few Perl scripts and 200 lines of JavaScript.

Why would I use this service?

I find it disturbing how long ketchup lasts.

It’s not natural.

It’s not aliens.

“AI supremacy” like it’s a podium.

So, not fast?

It takes a specific type of personality to remain angry about Python 3 in Dec 2019.

Didn’t that story finish?

The world is full of people who actively want to be offended. Who LIKE to be offended.

If Christmas is so offensive why is it on every media channel constantly this time of year?

They have a bubbling sense of righteous indignation ready to trigger.

These are trolls no different from any other.

The right way to handle this troll would have been to first get Christmas taken off some mainstream tv channels first.
