They did term it "Product Lifetime" after issues due to the original TOS being a bit vague as to whose lifetime it was.
The article is arguing that they don't get credit cards to begin with, not that they don't want to get into debt.

Credit cards are valuable tools since they:

1. Offer all sorts of insurance/protection.
2. Lump multiple small transactions into one monthly debit from your checking account.
3. Offer a 30 to 55 day interest free float.

The issue is that some people have no self control. Once you start missing full balance payments all benefits are pretty much negated.
Suggest HN: Force downvoters to punch in why
If you're going to bestow the gray text of shame, you should have to provide an explanation why such that noobs, such as myself, can better understand HN zeitgeist. If it's due to ideology, such as: Functional programming is literally the second coming of Jesus Christ. Elon Musk is a hero, why are you not already in line to offer him sexual favors? It doesn't follow the HN terms or was simply puerile or poorly written.

I'm glad downvoting was removed for new users because it is usually just used to indicate that you disagree with a point of view, though the HN elites seem just as fallible if not more fallible in this regard.
Ah, ok. From the Reddit thread it sounds like you were using a 20MB file for the 2s result?

From the article it sounds like the 2s result was for the 90Kb file, which would have been rather odd.

The argument is that people routinely get abused and your equivalent of "be smarter or deal with the consequences, and if no one will give you basic transparency: TOO BAD this industry isn't for you, move on" is a rather brutal approach.

I'd prefer a state law for transparency, so if your SV start-up wants to play Wild West, they have to move to Texas or a similar state where it is a lot easier to abuse your employees legally.
Wish I could take my page view(s) back.

A poorly written article that summarizes another mediocre article which could be summed up very easily: Millennials aren't using credit card debt as much as previous generations because they're more familiar with the effect of debt than any other generation before them.
Textbooks = cartel economics, captive market.
Tuition = gatekeeper for a better life, rent-seeking, high barriers to entry.
Child care = Labor-intensive, demand > supply, probably high barriers to entry.
Health care = Labor-intensive, demand > supply, high barriers to entry, anti-competitive activities enshrined in law.
Food = Labor-intensive, high barriers to entry, subsidized (note: not much higher than CPI.)
Housing = hugely illiquid, increasing supply / density very difficult, price dominated by other factors (schools, commutes, crime rate) (note: not much higher than CPI, probably because it has as many downs as ups.)
I will not argue the angst angle or semantics of manifesto, but given the context of who and when they wrote it, it was and can still carry some weight. But just as your comment betrays your age (I think?), so does mine. I remember going to 2600 meetings in the lower plaza of the Citigroup building once a month.

At that time, someone told me Feds come and photograph to record attendees (all 5 or 8 people if a good turnout). I was new, and laughed it off, until I say two guys taking snapshots (no digital cameras then!) our way. We would wave at them.

Good memories of HOPE 1994 too. Funny to see the back of my head in some of the videos of it posted to YouTube. They were put up only these past 3 years or so.

I also remember the weight of the situation hit me at the least expected during Phiberfest at Irving Plaza, NYC in 1995, celebrating Phiber Optik's (Mark Abene) release from prison.

I don't think taking chances with your time, and someone else's money (VC) is the same as putting yourself out there the way it was in late 70s, early 80s as a hacker.

I think modern 'Hacker' culture as popularly used now, is more 'three-piece', and that anything that may be actually legal, but more on the darker side is actually attacked by modern 'Hacker' culture.

Whether you agree with Anonymous, whose manifesto borrows some from The Hacker's Manifesto, it is more in line with the meaning of the word 'Hacker' to me, and less ameliorated like over-cooked, over-watered oatmeal of the word's usage today by self-described hackers.

Right now I'm working 20 hours per week as a contractor. It's beautiful.

My hours are also pretty flexible. If I'm really in the zone, I can work a 10 hour day. That's what I did today. I started at 3pm, had a break around 7pm, and I just finished what I was working on at 2am (30 minutes ago).

Yesterday, I wasn't feeling motivated at all, so I just ended up taking the day off and doing something else.

I'm living in Thailand, so normally I'll work from 10pm until 2am, so I have overlap with clients in the US. I wake up at 10am, and it feels like I have the whole day to do whatever I like.

I'm earning less money, but I'm somehow saving much more than I did in San Francisco.
Cdist 4.3.0 has been released
because the actual journalism in the article has nothing to do with the presidency.

If that were true, then why did the author feel the need to introduce a mention of the candidates for President?

Anyway, all I'm saying is that it's lazy journalism, which it is. It would not have been much harder for the author of TFA to be accurate by simply saying "both major party candidates for President..." instead. That such a small change could have been made, and wasn't, is why it's lazy journalism. That, or introducing an irrelevant sidebar, if your thesis is correct.

I'm of a similar mind. I sort of resented the tone (that might have been perceived) in the article that not using a credit card is some kind of marker of a financial dummy or irrational paranoid.

I pay cash for everything. I have a stable checking account, savings account, and several investment accounts that has my money working for me and growing. I'm completely aware of what the credit cards offer and I don't think it's valuable to me or my goals.

The only credit I want in my future is potentially a home and if I can make that happen in cash, I will, or at the very least a down payment that keeps the credit line realistic to pay off before I'm senile.

Okay, so this is a whole new world for me. Thank you!

OPDS appears to be for electronic publications what RSS is to blogs and podcasts. There are feeds, there's content management software that generates them (like "OPDS catalog"), and there are reader-style apps to consume them and view the syndicated content. Yes?

But as someone with tons of Kindle purchases, I'm a little confused about where to go from here, and how to protect myself from what happened to throwaway1974. Is there an "OPDS for Dummies"?
It might also have to do with the software you use with it. Could be that the problem is much smaller than the article would lead you to believe.

"was purchased via an asset sale and us common stock shareholders got zilch"

Just based on this (I am not a lawyer or giving financial advice), I'd guess that you can have legal standing to your share, which is probably $0. Investors often have preferred shares, and since it was an asset sale, it doesn't sound like things went well. The shares you bought were holding your place at the very back of the line, and the money ran out long before you. Your shares are probably literally worth $0. Consult a tax attorney or CPA to figure out if you can write off some losses on taxes, maybe?
I think I've commented before on wanting to see this as well. Anonymous downvotes are pretty much just meaningless negativity. I'd much rather have the ability to see why I was downvoted, and tell other people why I downvoted them.

You're making an unsupported inference here. Neither I, nor anybody else in this discussion that I see, has made any (serious) suggestion that the article needed to mention anybody else. Not even Gary Johnson or Jill Stein, much less Hedges, etc.

What the author should have done however, is write an accurate statement by simply saying "both major party candidates for President..." instead of "both candidates for President..."

The Christian Bale character closed his fund to withdrawals from investors as the shit was hitting the fan but the big banks were trying to keep it under control, thus preventing his default swaps from paying off. He was losing money as the banks tried to stall the inevitable.

A couple months later he made everyone who was suing him to get their money millions of dollars.

Native Commands on an Amazon Dash via the TTY
That certainly wasn't the original intent of copyright law, and in most places it wouldn't be the default position. Copyright is normally about controlling the making of new copies, not retaining control over an existing one after sale. The difficulty is that copyright law has been extended in various ways over the years.

Some of those extensions might seem reasonable and in the spirit of the original law. For example, in some places buying a single private copy of a movie on DVD doesn't give you a legal right to show that work, for money, to the general public, even if it's still your physical DVD in the player.

Other extensions in the scope of copyright protection have been much more dubious. For example, just about anything in the digital world tends to be vulnerable to arguments about making copies in a computer's RAM while you're running the software, playing the movie, listening to the song, or whatever it might be. Some horrible law has been made in some places using this kind of argument, even though it's totally distorting the spirit of the original copyright principle since you're only enjoying the copy you lawfully possess and not really making further copies to redistribute to anyone else. Trying to limit resale rights is another hot topic.

Some places have rather more sane laws in these respects, and even some reasonable discussions among the governing and lawyerly classes about how digital works should be handled in the modern age and how to balance the intended protection of creators with the legitimate right for customers to enjoy what they paid for. But there is still a long way to go even in the more enlightened legal environments today, and plenty of first world countries are far behind in their thinking so far.
Also an outlier - the whole reason I don't have credit card debt is because I'd rather "pay now" lest I "forget later". I know I'm really bad with remembering to pay monthly bills if they don't pay themselves so buying things on credit involves an extra step of "paying it off immediately" which AFAIK defeats the entire purpose and negligibly, if at all, builds credit. It's a debit card with additional hassle added to every single purchase. No thanks.
Can I ask why you feel the need to act condescending and dismissive?

The market for healthcare is not free. If you don't buy it, you die or suffer in pain. There's no other transaction where that would be considered a free consumer choice.

If you walked into Best Buy and they said "Buy this TV or we'll kill you" that would be robbery, not a free market transaction, but that's pretty much the choice you have when you decide to buy healthcare or not.
The US spends a huge amount on healthcare too.

Yeah but there seems to be some kind of belief that quantum is somehow "less lawful" in a way that would rescue it from the conflict with determinism. Which simply doesn't work - either it's random, in which case it's not Will, or it's determined by something else, such as consciousness, in which case it's not any more Free than classical physics.

(Personally, Compatibilism offers the only satisfactory way out.)
The "efficiency" of the SSA is simply because of the vast flow of money the SSA distributes.

While there is certainly a credentialed labor issue in higher education, we don't exactly have a shortage of PhDs and it's not like there has been a rapid ramping up in compensation for professors. In fact it has been the opposite as colleges have moved to use more adjuncts who have far fewer protections than tenured professors and yet the costs continue to rise unabated.

In healthcare too I don't think the credentialing of doctors and nurses is the predominant reason for why healthcare is so expensive. It is rather a complex mix of tremendous overhead and administrative costs, drug/device monopolies, over-consumption of medical services, etc.
The "just" part is impossible. Higher orbits also make visits harder/more expensive.

I agree but if there is one lesson I've learned, its that often when you find such environments it is due to failure of the management/execs to properly support the IT team, so they cut corners, halfass it, or hire contractors as you mentioned. True it shouldnt be done, but if you are selling equipment to a business who has had this failing, its just something to be aware of.

Im so damn tired of companies underfunding IT and then roasting some director or other alive when the technical debt inevitably bites them in the ass.
Why? Does the difficulty of military protection (where it would make a difference) scale with GDP? Otherwise, you're just grabbing an arbitrary big number as divisor.

As I understood it in the Big Short:

Christian Bale's character's hedge fund wanted to make a big bet that mortgage backed securities would fail.

So he shopped the banks for those that would take that bet.

The ones that agreed to take the bet, he paid them a negotiated monthly amount (basically rent) to keep the bet in effect. If he stopped paying rent, the bet was off.

The banks thought it would never happen and it was free money coming in. Since they thought the risk was 0% it was free money coming in.

... basically, the banks thought he was crazy, but would take his money to keep the bet going.

In the movie, Bale's fund gradually loses money paying "rent" on this bet / option / contract. Things get dicey when conditions that should result in the bet paying off get covered up by the banks and government, and the investors in his fund get pissed they aren't getting any return on their money as promised.
As a mostly lay person, for me it's vilified because my understanding of it is that HFT has a significant advantage over my own personal trading, and that through this advantage HFTs are able to make "more" profits than would be possible without HFT. My brain tells me that some of these profits are likely at my own trades' expense, and that while markets and economies rise and fall, my own profits are negatively impacted by HFT.

That may not be accurate, but that's why I personally feel uncomfortable with HFT.

How do you mass produce childcare? Build a nice loving robot? It's a crappy job that pays minimum wage.

As for school, you could easily argue that we already have mass produced education. There is an abundance of low-grade colleges, pseudo-colleges and fake universities that charge fortunes (in debt of course) for an "education" that is worth about as much as grass clippings.

There already is mass produced housing too, they are mobile homes. Do you want to lift whatever local zoning regulation is preventing a mobile home park from popping up nextdoor to you?

We in the western world don't think about smaller limitations. In most countries, all private radio communications are banned.

Those days, MIT Prof. Nicholas Negroponte made a special trip to India to explain to the people who matter, that don't stupidly implement radio ban on WiFi usage.
