Yes, with the formation of unions. The owners realized that they needed to placate the workers because damages were worse for business. So workers won a 5 day work week, 40 hours, and many more benefits.

You’re missing the point of the parent comment. IP exists BECAUSE things are easy to copy. If Apple REA’d Windows and sold it, Microsoft will get paid BECAUSE of IP. The system is working as designed.

Speaking nothing of the implementation, this is a very valuable concept. I’m curious if statistically there are trends to identify in beliefs or how beliefs spread over societies. You could likely use that data to determine thought leadership and information diets and measure things like distribution, how far the Bay Area is ahead, and other meaningful data for investments, etc.

It’s cool, but none of the T&Cs of those providers legally allow for this. There’s a market for that, but heads up.

Clicking too fast zooms the browser which breaks the click placement. Native Mobile would be much better.

Great concept!

It’s not his message, it’s the forum. Why host a rails conference, that he explicitly created because he was silenced from the main one…to them not talk about rails?

Why not adapt rails for this next generation?

Why do it this way? It’s like walking into a temple to yell about Jesus. It was absurdly obnoxious.

Both can be true. IP is real and they created new IP off of stolen IP.

Looks powerful. If you focus on notion-like elements you’ll go far. The product roadmap is there—their pricing is nuts.

You’re mistaking the original term hacker, a tinkerer of systems, for the black hat variety.

Oh god I bought one of these. It was so terrible. Valve is definitely the right company (private) to pull this off. Gabe just needs to own a foundry and they’ll be set.

Not necessarily, as productivity is usually measuring output, not outcomes.

Even then, outcomes at companies require external factors, like markets and competitors, and often don’t majorly depend on the company’s efforts.

Why do you need to lock anything? To prevent someone else from working on it? To prevent duplicative work? That sounds like a management/coordination issue. Not a VCS issue. So you have version A and version B. Why are 2 artists working on the same asset without coordination? Do they not use task tracking or project management? Even if that’s ignored, then one person’s work gets wasted. That happens all the time in text based dev too if it’s lacking coordination.

Should coordination live in the VCS layer? That sounds like it creates more issues than prevents.

This is a great argument for software factories. Writing the systems that build the system.
