I'll say it: why would they pay him if he's already doing the work for free from their PoV?
Oh, they ignored him. I am not sure if that puts the company in a better light.
But he's not doing the work for free. He's doing something else for free which they use. He has domain knowledge with the library that noone else has, their can either pay someone to learn it or they can hire someone with it.

I think that everyone should read this blog post
"Overall I am overjoyed enigo is used in Claude Desktop and I tell everyone who listens to me about it :P. It's so cool to think that I metaphorically created the arms and legs for Claude AI, but I can't help but wonder if the rejection letter was written by a human or Claude AI. Did the very AI I helped equip with new capabilities just reject my application? On the bright side, I should now be safe from Roko's Basilisk. "
I also felt like this way that did they just AI in their interviewing process?
And I have a special love towards open source.
And I personally might be happy too that a company is using my work ,but in the name of the holy licenses, Companies are just exploiting the free nature of this and the fact that it seems like not even a human looked at the person for such job, who created a library that they are using it for free...
I was thinking of creating some code in MIT license, but I am going to create a code of AGPL except if you sponsor me on github or a special one time license which can grant you MIT.
People might say that I am not fostering the open source community, but I am not giving corporations free labour so that they can be billionaires.
I once saw someone write a software with the exact same idea (AGPL + gh sponsor me to get MIT) and the people in HN were pitchforking him, that's the harsh reality of the world. People want absolutely free labour.
I think open source needs to ask, Have we become the modern peasants in the name of our altruism?
I think we need to compare our industry with other industries. No other industry relies on free labour from random people, which comes with no support or promises.
I once told some non-techie folk about some code I wrote. It did something super simple and wasn't that big. They were all asking why I didn't sell it and thought it was crazy I would give it away for free with the BSD license. It was 900 lines of code... For us, that's nothing but for an average person they just think "I built it, I'll sell it"

I'd wish there were movement for the privacy-conscious services to escape any regulation, not just choose the currently-politically-correct one. Like piracy sites did in 00-10s (abuse-proof hosting in Ecuador, shady domain registrar from SEA, zero search indexing) or crypto companies now (net of shell companies where not a single one is responsible for anything).
My point is, if you trust the company you're using, also trust it to use any means necessary to protect you from bad actors, don't rely on the laws here. Both the corporate and the state ones. If you don't trust it, don't give it anything you cannot afford to leak or lose.
Specifically, EU data protection laws are good to protect regular customers from the big corporations, but they offer little protection against the EU (and the member states) themselves. And if the risk you're hedging against is "yourself turning to big corp and abusing customers" moving to EU is okay, but not in any other case.
All privacy-conscious services are already based in countries that have privacy-conscious laws.
And most privacy-conscious services generally protect you to a certain level by the amount of data they don't keep. Mulvad, for example, when raided kept everything they had. Because they could prove that the data that the warrant was for was not stored on their equipment. PRQ, they're quite happy to work with you without knowing who you are.
If you want to keep yourself private from law enforcement or intelligence agencies, then you shouldn't be using standard services without your own layer of encryption and privacy steps in between. You're always going to be at the behest of some government, that's just how the law works.

Based on satellite imagery from Maxar and reports from Iran state news agencies, they moved the uranium in about 50 trucks to a “safe location” [1].
From Reuters [2]: > Hassan Abedini, deputy political head of Iran's state broadcaster, said Iran had evacuated the three sites some time ago. > "The enriched uranium reserves had been transferred from the nuclear centres and there are no materials left there that, if targeted, would cause radiation and be harmful to our compatriots," he told the channel.

Those sites getting blown up was kinda obvious. I would have been shocked if they didn't move everything once Israel sneak attacked them.

> I mean, I’d personally tell them that I wasn’t going to leave the room, but surely it worked a lot?
I'm not sure if this is they told them or he thinks he would tell them that he wouldn't give up a meeting room they had booked. If I had a meeting room booked and it was just an internal team they wouldn't leave they would quickly be learning what me and my team did the day before and what we plan to do today.
But the value from all the links SEO wise was more valuable. If you make the front page normally people are going to post you in other places, translate it, or something else, which increases your SEO.
The hug of death isn't that large. I had a 5 euro DigitalOcean droplet running Nuxt, which handled 30k visitors in a single day without CloudFlare caching it. So if you have a decent setup you should be good.
