My point is not that reputation is a useless metric. It is that it’s only part of the equation and in this case probably misleading.

While I understand you’re trying to add some color to the claims so as to inform us to take them with a grain of salt, you’re also committing a logical fallacy. So what if the devil himself made the claim? Unless it’s verifiably absurd, yo

Do you live in California? I know CA has much more consumer-friendly restrictions on sending medical bills to collections. It essentially can’t happen in CA.

Hospitals and doctors don’t do this. It’s unethical to deny someone treatment because you’re not sure they can pay.

Pokemon as an entire game relies on artificial scarcity and psychological manipulation. It's just a fixed cost up front for the game (and arguably not even strictly so these days with Pokemon Go). Same with any game ever that has loot

The stock market is also gambling. Plenty of informed consenting adults visit casinos all the time. What's the "responsible adult" way to spend your discretionary entertainment budget these days? NFTs? Disney+? Binge drinking

I bet valve makes more off the hundreds of thousands of $2 transactions than the occasional $100 or $1000 transaction. I mean think about it...

Because they value the content. Might not be your style, but participating in battle passes and cosmetic drops is enjoyable for many people. What else should they be spending their discretionary income on? Stonks?

Or, maybe they just value the skins? Maybe they want to contribute financially to a game they really like in the hopes of keeping it healthy? I do know people that buy every new cosmetic that's released and they enjoy doing it. They ar

They're saying that unless you use actions, you don't get the cohesive cache and artifacts support. That replicating that in the cloud or locally is a PITA. Thus people are using the GH actions vendor specific tooling in that way.

It's also kinda a hallmark of a mature computer anything to use itself in some way. You bootstrap your compiler using another until you can self compile. You write a build tool plugin which uses an older version of itself to enhance

Even if it's modeled with more compositional finesse in the code, you still need a UI level label for this combination of relationships in some culture where there's an appropriate term for it, so you still end up with some labe

Search quality improves my life. Like actually I'm a happier searcher since Kagi and I search more frequently because I have increased confidence that I'll get meaningful results. I don't grumble like I used to every time I h

Kagi has replaced DDG for me entirely. Now that you get unlimited searches, do you think it would for you, too?
916.
by dcow 3y ago
I do think Kagi adds features that improve on what Google offered in its heyday and saying meh there's nothing new doesn't capture the full picture, but I generally understand your vibe.

Bummer I missed the SAFE round. I would consider chipping in as an investor even though I wouldn't feel comfortable purchasing a preorder as a consumer. Wonder if you can structure your next round to include spots for people that misse

On a positive note, given a16z's feedback, I'm sure they can find another firm/partner that would be willing to back them at this stage. They are definitely in a hard position, though. Reading this I doubt I'd put money

It all depends on the license. There’s no umbrella ability to modify the source code of a software binary, open-source or proprietary, unless explicitly allowed.

No you cant.

Section 3.a covers products you’ve made with the licensed technology. I don’t see any language about modifications to the licensed technology. Edit: I see some language covering this further up.

This essay lost the plot! There’s nothing about the whole situation that open source fixes. Your champion open source project can change its license and pricing too. The only way to protect yourself here is to enter into a non-ambiguous and

I’ve been asking the exact same question. There is so clearly a better way to have handled this whole thing it makes you wonder whether the person in charge of this transition is simply incompetent, or actually negligent. If I were a shareh

Well yeah, that’s what is so mind boggling about the whole thing. They are trying to do something that’s likely illegal in terms of contract law. It’s also just abundantly stupid given the social cost. There was a super clean way to do the

When McDonalds increases the price of a McDouble the messes don’t send death threats to the CEO. Something that used to cost X increasing in price and now costing 1.2X is not unethical. I’m just trying to understand what it is in this case

Okay I was talking about this with a few friends because it’s now a “debacle” and actually did the math. Unity is cheaper than Unreal across the board whether you release a $70 AAA or a $5 indie experiment. And that’s with worst case number
