This article points out that this doesn't just apply to companies. If you maintain an open-source project and accept donations, then you're potentially affected as well.

I don't think we really need more LotR. I'd prefer studios pick up other fantasy properties. The lack of a good Earthsea adaptation is kind of depressing and it makes more sense than ever to take another crack at it given Hollywoo

I'm seeing a lot of Indians replying to this post's point about sex discrimination, but I'm assuming they're men. Are there any Indian women on HN who can sound off on their own experiences with sex discrimination?

I love these class of games, especially the MUSHes. It's weird how there's not really an equivalent to 'shared world that's user-scriptable by its players' in the modern gaming ecosystem. Closest would probably be s

The linked answers actively counteract this. Fiduciary duty is to the corporation, not the shareholders. The shareholders have certain limited rights but you don't have any duty to maximize their returns.

The boomers weren't really the generation that failed to have children. The main issue atm is that zoomers are generally the children of gen X and while gen X did produce children, gen X was also a small generation because their pare

Cloudflare has gotten incredibly bad lately. If you don't want to offer your services to someone that's fine but you should at least do the bare minimum and reach out before completely terminating a vital piece of infrastructure t

This is going to keep happening because the underlying issues of why the labor market is tight still haven't been internalized by managers. Baby boomers are retiring and there comparatively aren't many zoomers entering the labor m

You know, this seems like the sort of thing that each agency should decide on their own after taking into consideration the actual workflows and requirements of what they do to determine which style of work benefits them the most. But a biz

#3 is one I've had to think on a lot recently and I think it comes down to two things: 1) When the person who wrote the code is no longer available to talk to. Having even a 5-10 minute chat can massively speed up my comprehension of s

The point of the OGL is so you can include or reference things from the System Reference Document in your publication. EDIT: I realize people might not know what an SRD is. It's basically the bare-bones document explaining the game and

Spare me the concern trolling. If your job can be outsourced, it will be outsourced. People were happily working in offices in the 90s and it didn't do much to keep their jobs from being outsourced. I don't see any correlation bet

No thanks. If you don't want someone at your event, then that's one thing. But letting your attendees harass random people who've shown up otherwise in good faith is completely unacceptable.

You don't solve a trolley problem. The entire point is that it's unresolvable from most ethical paradigms other than naïve utilitarianism (which is why it exists - to mock that way of thinking).

Yes, case systems are an example of this. Most Indo-European languages use some combination of fixed word-order, noun classes (aka gender), and case systems to compensate for errors in communication. English for example has a relatively str

GPL only requires you to provide source code when you provide an executable program. If their internal software isn't released outside the organization, then source code does not need to be either.

The stakes are high for primetime network television in general in the US. Only about 20% of new shows are renewed for a second season, and showrunners desperately want a multi-season TV show to put on their CV. To add more perspective - of

Part of it is simply different television formats. The Office UK specifically aired on BBC One without commercials which meant that it had to be cut down to fit on a major network's timeslot of 20-24 min. Shows like that typically have

I'm surprised Torvalds is so sanguine about Rust. Maybe it's age but I remember his epic gamer rant about how he would never allow C++ in the kernel. Either Rust is significantly better than C++ in his view, or he's accepted
