That is such a great story. The ending is such an incredible epiphany it literally made me cry…
I agree that with FOSS it's not about the money. But we were in the context of what is or is not valuable, so it made sense to point out, that value extraction in FOSS - desirable or not - is hard.
Good luck in your life, seriously. I'm afraid you're gonna need it.
Agree. But extracting value from FOSS is hard - in part because it's at least partially against the spirit of FOSS.
BROKERING, as in couping the people with a certain idea with the people with the resources to execute it, is valuable.
Yes. But that's worthless, because a) there are plenty of people with such ideas, and b) they are costless to produce, since they just pop up in one's head.
I have literally a dozen really good ideas per month. At least. But I lack the discipline, resources, skills and grit for a successful execution. I learned the hard way that nobody gives anything for an idea.
Hard no. Ideas are a precondition, yes. But nobody pays for an idea, or I would be a multi-millionaire now.
No, because a thousand people have already had the same idea. They just didn't execute it.
Yes. Too many think that ideas are valuable. They aren't. Ideas are abundant and free. Execution is scarce and valuable.

Don't have a Unix computer handy. Can you execute the command without the final "| /bin/bash" and post it? Thanks
Did you know that japanese English makes no difference between "agriculture" and "ugly culture"?
Grok says I'm wrong about it being "to the right" on both hemispheres. Maybe my instructor was a dummy, or maybe I just got it wrong. Here's what Grok says:
As altitude increases, the wind's behavior is influenced by several atmospheric factors, primarily the **Coriolis effect**, **pressure gradient force**, and **friction** (or lack thereof). Here's why the wind gets stronger and shifts more "from the right" with height:
1. **Reduced Friction at Higher Altitudes**:
- Near the Earth's surface, friction from terrain (mountains, trees, buildings) slows down wind and disrupts its flow. As you move higher, this frictional drag diminishes significantly, especially above the planetary boundary layer (typically 1-2 km above the surface). With less resistance, winds can blow faster, leading to stronger wind speeds.
2. **Pressure Gradient Force Dominance**:
- Winds are driven by the pressure gradient force, which arises from differences in atmospheric pressure. At higher altitudes, the pressure gradient is less affected by surface features and becomes more pronounced, allowing winds to accelerate. This contributes to stronger winds as you sample at greater heights.
3. **Coriolis Effect and Wind Direction**:
- The Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, deflects moving objects (including air) to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. Near the surface, friction counteracts some of this deflection, causing winds to flow more directly along the pressure gradient.
- At higher altitudes, with friction reduced, the Coriolis effect becomes more dominant. This causes the wind to align more closely with the geostrophic balance (a balance between the pressure gradient force and the Coriolis effect), resulting in winds that appear to come "more from the right" in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, the shift would be "more from the left."
4. **Vertical Wind Shear**:
- The change in wind speed and direction with altitude is known as **wind shear**. As you move upward, the transition from surface-influenced winds to free-atmosphere winds (governed by geostrophic or gradient flow) results in both an increase in speed and a directional shift. This is often observed in weather systems like low-pressure systems, where winds spiral counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and shift rightward with height due to the Coriolis effect.
### Example:
In the Northern Hemisphere, near the surface, a wind might blow from the southwest due to friction and pressure gradients. As you ascend, friction decreases, and the Coriolis effect pulls the wind more to the right, shifting it toward a westerly or northwesterly direction while also increasing its speed due to less resistance.
### Southern Hemisphere Note:
In the Southern Hemisphere, the Coriolis effect deflects winds to the left, so the wind would shift "more from the left" with increasing altitude, but the principles of reduced friction and stronger pressure gradient forces still apply.
This pattern is a fundamental feature of atmospheric dynamics and is critical in meteorology for understanding weather systems and forecasting. If you have specific conditions (e.g., a particular location or weather system), I can tailor the explanation further!
