And FF46 on Linux which makes me think they just haven't ever tried this with FF.

Now... this is certainly great, especially given the particular selection of projects receiving the donations. I've upvoted the article and hopefully more companies (aka open source consumers) will do the same.

But then I wonder, what is that the community would benefit most from? Money or actual code contributions?

I develop open source software and I get paid for doing it, which is a great luxury. Go DDG, raise the bar even further, employ people working on these projects if you don't have any already and even release more software!

I like Stallman's idea of it more.

> Thus, hacking means exploring the limits of what is possible, in a spirit of playful cleverness.

It seems to me more appropriate, More effective, better descriptive, less limiting.

Not that being a hacker means one also has to be good at writing what an hacker is, but Stallman is showing some true hacker spirit here I think.

hi, no I haven't A/B tested those but I'm sure the videos sound very good. The hifi equipment is probably far more important than the quality issues of a 192AAC vs the CD.

Yet, I think you're looking at it from the wrong perspective, let me give you an argument.

Keeping the sound of good quality while lowering the bandwidth is an issue; the 192bit AAC is a great achievement in that regard.

Recording and reproducing music with highest quality is another; the CD itself is not entirely lossless in this context.

So I just think for a music streaming service it would be nice to not diminish the music quality at the source of reproducing chain.

thanks, they seem to be looking for how much people is waiting for the service to be available in other countries ... so I just registered!

quality indeed is my main concern too ... I haven't started using any of the cloud services simply because none (that I know) provides lossless music.

> Additionally, both baremetal and OpenStack Ironic have a focus on 'triple-O', or OpenStack on OpenStack[2] use cases

Well, I'm sure they have issues but what gave you the impression they are focused on TripleO use cases?

As a TripleO dev I just use them.

Compared to more 'standalone' softwares like MAAS, these tools are integrated already into OpenStack, allowing you to deploy images on either virtual instances or baremetal without adding more software layers in charge of the images hosting, authentication, dhcp management and what not.

I think maximizing profit is what corporations do by definition. I agree with the poster something is changed at Gogle after Larry Page took over though.

Yet in the process of "making my opinion about a corp being evil or not" I enjoy measuring the amount and the quality of free software they release. For software corp, I think this is a good parameter.

By this metric it is easy to understand that putting too much hopes into Google is wrong. They release a lot of code, but that code is usually only "a path" for the user to their core products (which they do not release).

I encourage you rediscover those corps instead where people work hard to keep their "don't be evil" going, despite not marketing it that much.

Let me add something, maybe I'm not good enough for Google, but I'm employed by Red Hat and I enjoy what we do at Red Hat. And I could name a lot of others, in this context, doing great things.

I enjoyed the post but there is one sentence I can't understand:

> 2/ Only surround yourself with brilliant and positive people. Negative and mediocre people are everywhere and their influence on you can be devastating.

The thing is that I'm potentially one of those "mediocre" people and I don't see why my influence should be devastating.

For instance, what is wrong about being negative? Not that my days are about it but, when I find myself thinking about the society we've built, I feel depressed and helplessness. Our society runs on poverty, climate change, INC governments, wars. We got to a point where some perpetuate violence on people and animals for living.

Not only that but from a certain perspective, I've a reason to think about myself as a mediocre person, cause I managed to get lot of good things from life, including a fun job but I'm not the "cool kid" and, as such, I think I'm quite a mediocre guy.

So my question is as follows, what are you suggesting here: the best way to avoid any negativity get to you, is to eliminate these gloomy people from your life ?

Sounds more a strategy for distraction.

OpenShift

sure it is better than doing nothing, except in my perception HN isn't a place for average non-tech guys so I get bored by this kind of posts

About me, I'm planning (and practicing) not to release any non-free code and also looking for alternatives to a few web apps which I'm still unable to replace (as per first post). That would be a much nicer topic to discuss for me.

Installing gnu/linux, no really. Again that is 20years old story.
