This is the first time I read about OSL3 ( https://opensource.org/license/osl-3-0-php ). I'm bad at licenses, and I admit I don't completely get it. At first glance, it seems like a simpler more readable licens

Oh nice! Smart move then. Makes me wonder why they went with SSPL in the first place.

I wonder whether they did deals with AWS and Google behinds the scenes. Something like "you poured money into Valkey, how about you give that kind of money to us instead and we'll switch to AGPL and you can stop confusing two cust

> For the vast majority of times, bikes are good enough for the majority of travels, yet there are cars everywhere. Wow that was a very Dutch comment! I wonder whether it resonates with the Americans here :D

Fwiw this is exactly what I'd expect a product founder to do. If I wanted to work at a bank I'd go work at a bank. It's so easy for groups to over-cover-their-asses, go for maximum safety everywhere, design-by-committee all t

Another counterpoint, he's been a pretty pro-nuance voice for a long time, very un-Elon like. Eg I still frequently quote some of this thread to people: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1210242184341000192.html

I don't mind the verbosity so much as steering me the entirely wrong way for that long.

This is not true. There's plenty super friendly contracts that just happened to be written by lawyers who are into legalese maximizing. I can imagine that someone trying to screw you over might use obtuse terms to hide that, but the re

Isn't it amazing? In movies, evil terrorists take out the grid all the time (or threaten to), to terrible consequences, and they need genius hackers to do so. In reality, it's easy peasy and still, people hardly ever do it (and no

Because generally, in broad strokes, a good economy causes good everything else. If it's easy for people to get a decent job, then people lead happier lives, fewer homeless, lower crime etc. If goods are accessible and affordable, ever

The parking minimum is for taxis?

by skrebbel 2y ago
Yeah but I mean, if everybody goes to the pub by car, does it mean everybody brings a designated driver? Or is this one of those things where everybody drives drunk but pretends nobody does?

The idea of a bar (ie a place people go to get drunk) with a dedicated parking lot strikes me as particularly bad for road safety. I'm baffled that this is not only encouraged, but mandated. How do people do this in practice? Just drin

What would be better? AI-hack? Claude-bodge? I agree that it's a cringey term but cringey work deserves a cringey term right?

Nop not at all. In fact I'm a Windows user who doesn't actually know how to pipe things into sed. :-)

Sure, it's confusing. But the suggestion here is that this single word implies a "lot of fundament misunderstandings and factual mistakes" (sic), and therefore the many negative comments in this thread about that word are war

This resonates with me. I live in the Netherlands and back when I was a teenager, the English language started to become trendy so high schools began programmes where certain subjects were taught in English. I enrolled in one of these, gene

I would like to understand how this works. Did they hand off the to-be-mailed uwrapped, say, lemon or a hammer or a deer tibia to a person at a post office? Wouldn't the post office clerks just say "sorry you gotta box that, we se

You misunderstand. I never read it. I simply liked the title, at least before I understood "Capital" that wasn't actually the title.

by skrebbel 2y ago
Yeah so I meant the Piketty book, not Marx. But I googled it and turns out it's actually named "Capital in the Twenty-First Century", which disappoints me even more than "On Bullshit"

by skrebbel 2y ago
Offtopic but I'm still sad that "On Bullshit" didn't go for that highest form of book titles, the single noun like "Capital", "Sapiens", etc

Funding doesn't cause growth. If anything, funding causes Juiceros and Magic Leaps. Growth, however, can definitely cause funding and that's what happened with Wiz I think.

Wow this reads like the plot of a bad romcom! I can totally imagine Dick sitting angry in his study getting all worked up over how badly Lem hated US SF and how mean that is, not realizing Lem actually loved his work. All this lacks is the
