Dealing with interactive 1k of registered elements is hard when you have to monitor each element and redistribute their positions with each movement without changing the DOM. Just doing CSS translate. This is a completely new concept, as far as I know, not exist in any drag and drop library. That's why it's challenging and of course, need a ton of work and enhancements. But it's the first step and I hope the community loves and supports the idea. And I agree, it's sad that we still here and I am trying to make it somehow the standard.

yeah, same here!

> According to recent studies, obtaining more daylight during the day, as early risers do, triggers a chain reaction of hormonal changes that might affect mood.

I think this is the key is the daylight, not the regular amount of light, but the strong brightness in the early morning that trigger hormone affects not only our mood but our immune system as well.

Personally, I don't think it's related to a sleep schedule. it's more about the light. I've been recently listening to the Andrew Huberman podcast. He's a neuroscientist and has a weekly episode. And in one of his episodes, he mentioned that regular human being needs to be exposed to sunlight at least 30 mins a day. Not just a light, but the strong brightness coming from the sun which triggers hormones increase our alertness by raising the amount of cortisol in the body.

of course, this means more productivity, more immunity, and controls the mood. There's another way to do it, an ice bath for example but the light is actually more important than we think.

> For years, Mr. Gates continued to go to dinners and meetings at Mr. Epstein’s home, where Mr. Epstein usually surrounded himself with young and attractive women, said two people who were there and two others who were told about the gatherings.

Why all of a sudden we now hear stories about Gates's relationship with Epstein. Feel more like people relating to Melinda's circle leaking to the press. This is a good thing, we didn't get the chance to hear from Epstein himself maybe now we know some of the hidden truth.

And there's this piece of course: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27071016

> The whole idea is based on goodwill

sounds a boring meeting.

I am not sure if bounties can bring any value. Fixes and debugging require someone who knows the base code. It may increase the traffic of your repository but without a paid core team I find it hard to bring any meaningful value.

The whole idea is based on goodwill. Why anyone rejects the code then use it anyway. The second issue is valid for open and closed source. Free or paid. There are always people who want to contribute regardless of the value they bring, and that doesn't affect the quality of the code because you aren't merging without reviewing the changes.

I hear you. This is a valid argument. But I see it both ways. I will offer an open-source and get something else in return. My problem is, Amazon is a taker and it's getting greedy and not giving back. So do you think it is legal? Yes, it is. Is it ethical? No. You are rooting for the big guy, many people do. I simply care about the collective good of the industry and I am for the open-source. Just because you can, it doesn't mean you should.

I was reading this and hoping for a better ending. Exceptional story and the thing is not about the hiring process in FAANG. What's important the most, from my perspective, is how bad can it get. You failed twice, been rejected multiple times and when you land a job you can't handle the unfairness of the process. This is maybe real life for a lot of founders. Being the victim of your own ambition and then the people who hold the key lock the door because they worship the process itself instead of the outcome. The irony and the nihilism.

I am glad that you finally found a safe workplace to work and people who accept you as you are. Feel sad to hear that tech is a "boys club" it shouldn't be this way. If you don't feel safe where you work how can you function properly in society, where you may face rejection and hostility. This is so wrong.

Your comment is interpreting as ES was naive by choosing open-source which allows AWS to fork the code. I read this argument all the time about OSS. Where does this conversation lead? I'll tell you: to end any meaningful attempt to create open-source code with a business model aka the end of OSS.

I always thought tech is the most friendly environment when it comes to transgenders in general. Supposed to be the most progressive place on earth.

Is this statement from FB related to the issue?

This is the interesting part:

> we are updating our code of conduct to ensure we can consider circumstances where a person's behavior outside of a project can harm the project or its community.

Well, I thought you are following the discussion here.

What's straightforward about forking an open source project to get more money?

I wish this long process that's exhausting in Amazon applies when it comes to cloning open source projects to get more profits.

By people you mean, the big tech who literally did zero effort to support OSS and do everything in their power to fully control the market even if this means pushing the open-source business model out of the market? Or abusing the OSS legal license?

Yes. This is how you discourage people from doing OSS. "You can't stop me" argument leads to a slippery slope and if you care about the open-source you see it differently. Not because you can, but because of the consequences of your doing.

It is both a top down process and the culture of the company itself. In the real world, we know how big tech open-sourced some of the most efficient technologies that empowered hundreds, if not millions, of startups.

> The value in the market is the subject of the parent thread.

As I said, it's a tactic to change the subject. Instead of focusing on actions with bad faith, change the subject by saying they have a lot of money so Amazon is allowed to be competitive and fork the code.

> AWS is just offering customers what they want.

No. it's not AWS improving some services. It's about a multi-billion dollar company launching a campaign against OSS. They did it with MongoDB and it continues. Some see these actions as justifiable. Because OSS should be MIT and maintainers should live with donations. Others, however, disagree. It can be OSS and profitable (without Amazon actions).

Right. But the question here is not about companies value in the market. Why changing the subject? This should be about the ethics behind Amazon's aggressive actions against OSS and its effect on the OSS industry.

there's always a fork.

The start maybe done by open source some technology they use that can profit and help other startups. Maybe open source their own version of "React". That will be a good start.

Yes exactly, you have actually to google it maybe you'll be able to find a useful link that makes Amazon looks good.

This argument is part of Amazon's PR campaign to tell devs to not feel sorry for Elastic because it's now a big company and they make money in the market. So, if you built a successful OSS and start to make money then it's ethical to clone any OSS and pushes projects out of the market because now it is "Goliath vs Super-Goliath".

As far as I know DocumentDB is closed source. Btw: I can name zero OSS projects from Amazon and this is not the same for Microsoft (VScode, TS) and FB (React, Jest).

Is there any good that done by Amazon to support OSS? Like ever. They started with cloning MongoDB and now Elastic with actually zero contribution to the community regardless of their insane profits. This is a clear single. Amazon can always clone and redistribute any open source software then lock it in for AWS. If we've started to witness declining in OSS, well at least we know now who started the wave.

bingo
