I would say that's fine. The law can do two things, incentivizes you to try to hire locally, and if you can't, prop up the tax payer coffins with a 25% tax, then maybe use that to generate other jobs, provide services, etc. The mo

What's wrong with "source-available" ? Open-source normally means there's no use restrictions, but there could be some requirements in order to do so (like attribution). Free software normally means there's no use r

AGPL doesn't prevent others from reselling your software no? I thought it only mandated that they also release their own source modifications. He seems to claim 3rd parties are offering bearblog commercially without modifications (or w

I don't mean VCS UI, I mean that in the project view and when viewing source files, the editor highlights added, removed and changed lines and normally if you click on it it shows the diff at that code block. Generally IDEs will be dif

I think the issue for me will be that IDEs tend to show diff with head, I'm not even sure you can configure them otherwise.

Not at all, but it just feels like the emperor's new clothes if we just pretend we're doing better and aren't objective.

True, CloudFlare DDoS protection is unmatched, they just eat the cost for free.

Ah, for cheapest CDN, maybe you're right. I think BlazingCDN can also be cheap, but CLoudFlare might be the best deal. OP didn't really say there wasn't any cheaper alternative, just said "no real good alternatives"

I hear you, but I find it suspicious. I mean CloudFront is used by over 10% of all CDN content online, and is used by Amazon itself. It wouldn't just randomly block something. It must be based on something no?

Hum... GDP doesn't seem right to me. Not all goods and services involve the same process, some come with more pollution. For example, Nvidia will contribute to a big chunk of US GDP, but it only designs the chips, which won't have

Wouldn't you expect the country with the most manufacturing and one of the biggest population to also have the biggest pollution? I feel you'd need to adjust the sum total by something, capita, or square footage or be more specifi

Shouldn't this be seen as success? You weren't a normal user, you were trying to penetrate the site, and you got a bunch of friction?

I always hear this, but honestly I'm not sure it's true. It's hard to assess the validity of this versus Cloudflare having a really good marketing department. I've used neither, so I can't say, but I've also ne

I'm not sure I understand why there's anything wrong, strange or embarrassing about what the author did? Can some finance person tell me why the author feel they did did in not smart ways and maybe made some mistakes?

If you take a report like this: https://mitsloan.mit.edu/ideas-made-to-matter/ai-has-high-da... You can: 1. Dismiss it by believing the projections are very wrong and much too high 2. Think 20% of all energy consumed i

They might hate those too? It's pretty clear there are impacts, AI needs energy, consumes material, creates trash. You probably just don't mind it. The fact is still fact, the conclusion is different, you assess it's not a bi

I love this article, I'm not an AI hater personally, but I doubt an AI could have written it. And in a way, that's as compelling of an argument as the content of the article itself. Honestly, the first paragraph is packed full wit

I'm not an art historian, but I think Picasso invented an entire art style. When you use AI, you might now prompt "in the style of Picasso".

Hate can be emotional, but it can also have underlying rational causes. For example, someone can feel like they already have to compete with people, and that's nature, but now they have to compete with machines too, and that's a s

Agree, that said, it's still a little worrisome. These simulations are the best we have to predict the future, and even if it's 2076, once it happens, it's going to be a huge deal. Hard to think we should just YOLO and take a

I don’t think it’s really possible to give a precise mathematical definition of "good enough for my use case." In practical software engineering, what is generally cared about is having a reasonable worst case upper bound. They do

I don't think those are an issue though, these companies are actually hiring at high rates and filling positions. I don't think it would fall into ghost posting. Also, from my experience, there tends to be hiring pools, because th

The proposal I think is simply to force listings to have more details like hire and start date, if it's for a backfill, if it gives priority to internal hires, etc. So the enforcement I think would be if you post listings without those

I don't think it's related. This proposal if I understood hasn't reached any political sphere, it's just a grassroots effort.

The harm adds up, time to prepare and apply, possible time and effort and travel expense wasted if an interview was also conducted. You could say financially it's not a lot to one person, but if 100 people got deceived by the same list

I think it can be argued that some of those are. Same as how false price advertising, or I don't know, say you kept calling customer support but never had any problems could start to look like abuse. Or squatting a business parking lot
