Actually, I think your comment is a simplification: there absolutely is a trade-off between money and satisfaction. That doesn't mean you have to become a starving artist to increase your satisfaction level - just that prioritising x means compromising on y.

That might mean working a lower-skilled job you can just clock in and out of so you can focus your efforts and time on other things you care about or even just applying your existing specialism in an industry/company that offers you more creative freedom at the expense of some compensation.

> The model "phone vendors nefariously build products with short lifespans, regardless of what people want to buy, so that they can sell more hardware" has trouble explaining why the longest-lived phones are the earliest ones.

Maybe because first you try to make your earlier products good to get customers, and then once your business is going and you've grabbed a portion of the market you find it profitable to take risks like this?
Do you mean 0.9 cents or 0.9 dollars (90 cents)? One is equivalent to a tenth of a Netflix subscription, the other a thousandth. If you're talking about the higher amount, I misunderstood you.

But why doesn't it "just work"? Why isn't the internet more simple? It comes down to two things: this way is more profitable, and stuff is hard.

I don't believe that these companies have a personal data fetish. They have a money fetish. If they believed they could make more money by charging every user a flat rate and keeping their data secret, they'd do it. And I'm pretty sure they're right. If simple pricing and privacy was the better option, it would have won by now. There is no shortage of people who want to try a new twist on things in the tech world.

As for the second item, the hardness. Indexing data is hard. There isn't enough value for every given website to do it. So, Google does the work for them and also extracts the value.

You want a video site to charge your ISP. So they'll have to integrate with every ISP? That's quite a task. Maybe a company will come in and help with that. They'll integrate with every ISP and then allow every movie streamer to use them as a service. And perhaps to simplify things, they'll charge the thing you use to pay your ISP bill (credit card) instead of adding to the bill. Cut out a middle man. Maybe they'll even let you use any credit card you choose and hide them from the merchants you're purchasing from. Of course, this is a good idea, so they'll have competition.

Oh shit. Now you have all those payment processing companies you're tired of. It's hard.
> Either that or a plain old mistake. The new guy loaded the wrong data into the printer.

I'd also like to think that Hanlon's Razor applies here. Chips were mislabeled, wasn't worth the time / effort / ink to relabel something that costs pennies to manufacture so they're earmarked for the incinerator but somehow end up back in the supply chain. Stuff like this happens.
> I think it lies in that people fear being biased against for reporting their ethnicity, either via affirmative action (white/asian) or racism (everyone else).

Hm, two flaws about that dichotomy:

1) Many people that aren't white or asian also feel that affirmative action is a bias against their actual ability to contribute to society. For example, not everyone would see getting into YC as a monumental achievement, but even if they did the idea that it would be belittled because of a perception that their skin tone filled a quote is the same being biased against.

2) Many people call this racism as well. In this context, it would primarily be a reference to an institutionalized circumstance.

I agree with most of your post, although I think your last paragraph has orthogonal arguments, perhaps you can help me understand.

1. If you work at a company with great purpose for humanity, then you can be satisfied with working 40 hours a week.

2. If you work at a company without great purpose for humanity, your job can and should be done in 4 hours a day.

Presumably, you're also saying a humanity-saving job can be done in 4 hours a day, but it's okay to feel good about more hours because of the mission's importance. If that's your argument, I don't think it holds, because people can find the intrinsic motivation to work on writing gum commercials just as well as they can building rocket ships. And presumably an ad agency would like to hire those people, such that the writers are just as motivated as rocket ship builders at SpaceX.

Or perhaps you're saying the motivation should be extrinsic and measured by what society deems is a good thing?

Streaming a movie for 0.9 cent is something I would hardly call a steal seeing how Netflix fee is 9 usd/month

Well, at nine cents, that'd mean you'd only pay the $9 if you watched 100 movies per month. Most people don't watch nearly that much, so you've just heavily decreased the price per movie. Even if you hadn't, a fixed subscription is probably much better for them than variable income; it's not like Netflix couldn't just let you buy "credits" and then spend them, even while using existing payment providers. Chances are they don't want to suffer from the "app store problem", ie, users having to make a spending decision on every item.

Also, what makes you think your ISP would be cheaper than whatever payment provider they're using now?

> the Muslim Personal Law.

This refers to Indian law allowing muslims to live under sharia for family matters.

The rule itself is referred to as "triple talaq" and is part of sharia. In Sunni islam, basically men can abandon women, without any (any) limit immediately and without consequences (they get to take possession of everything the woman owns as well). They can take the kids if they want, including kids that have been conceived but not born yet (technically they should take the kids, but that's not what happens in practice).

Women face progressively harsher physical punishments for abandoning a man. If they remarry without his permission, they face (extra cruel) execution (stoning, often with the kids and family forced to watch).

Edit: links

http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2017/05/tripple-ta...

The problem with wikipedia articles is that they try to bury the message in detail. Read it through 5 times and you'll slowly realize what the rule is:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divorce_in_Islam#Talaq_al-bid....

TLDR: in mainstream Sunni islam what I said is true. Allowing women contractual divorce is a Shi'a practice, and not practiced by >85% of muslims worldwide (what is it ?Essentially a prenup allowing for divorce under stated circumstances, which cannot be initiated directly by the woman). Once you look up the numbers, you'll see that the worst kind (the pure triple talaq) is followed by some ~80% of muslims worldwide, and the contractual thing is an exception for Shi'a only (and is one of the main stated reasons of recent Sunni genocides against Shi'a in the middle east). You'll see that the text does in fact say the overwhelming majority follows the worst practice, but not on your first read.

These statements in wikipedia are true, but they're true like saying "your phone company cannot just terminate your service", which is true. And then give the entire contract and details on how this contract is affected by 5 different jurisdictions, which is of course the entire rule. But all it serves is to cloud the issue.

Of course, in all realistic circumstances, your phone company can in fact just tell you to fuck off without so much as giving a reason.

But not the software engineere! Because he/she is doing 'mind work'. This is bullshit.

Can you qualify your "this is bullshit" statement? Other than just ranting about it?

There is a significant difference between manual workers and knowledge workers, and pretending it is all the same thing is disingenuous. This isn't a statement about knowledge workers being "better" or "superior", it is simply a recognition of the the fact that these two labor types are not the same.

I actively try to limit my "work" time, because like it or not, my brain doesn't stop working on my active problems and tasks. As somebody who has suffered through 3 consecutive burn-outs, I can only say that I wholly agree with the 4-hour workday.
Splitwise user who absolutely loves it here. I wouldn't think to do budgeting on it at all. Its purpose is splitting expenses, nothing more. It does it great and the single function is a part of why I use it. Hooking up with Venmo, big plus. People here are talking modularity, and those two services are great examples.

Honeydue looks to be budgeting and larger finance management targeted at couples. I don't know Buxfer well, but it looks like the couples targeting is the variation it has over it.

As someone in a long term relationship who expects to be sharing finances relatively soon, Honeydue looks like a very interesting option. Currently we are separate but discuss and keep tabs on spending together, and have one giant splitwise going. The majority of that budgeting is done on Excel / Sheets - good for customizability, but a bit of a pain. Once we merge accounts and the like, that Splitwise goes away and Honeydue may just come in now that I know about it. It if was just me, I would have no need for Buxfer.

I'm not the previous poster, but the ISP charging thingy could probably be done with a standard protocol, a bit like OAuth. The site would emit a payment request, then redirect to the ISP (you could have a generic URL that each ISP would redirect to their own payment system) that would sign it and redirect back. Then the sites could take those signed tokens and charge the ISP in a lump sum.

Still, the ISPs would definitively charge something for the service, so it's unclear if it would actually be cheaper.

This isn't at all true. 1.4 terawatts would only power about 230,000 homes. And other sources have estimated bitcoin's energy cost at significantly lower: 330 megawatts: https://securitygladiators.com/2017/03/15/bitcoin-uses-energ... .

Also think about the cost of normal money. Just printing currency costs the US over $700 million per year: https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/currency_12771.htm . This is not to mention the rest of the infrastructure.

Last point, Bitcoin mining won't get much more energy intensive. Why? Because the amount of energy used in mining is directly proportional to the value of mining a block. As soon as segwit is activated tomorrow, the value of mining will drop. As soon as the lightning network funnels 99% of transactions off the blockchain, the value of mining will drop. As soon as bigger block sizes are allowed, the value of mining will drop. Bitcoin doesn't have to be any more "wasteful" than is needed to secure the blockchain.
I agree with you. I don't think a private business should be forced to publish content they disagree with simply because they're a platform lots of people gravitate towards.

I'm not sure why you choose to 1) be antagonistic/hostile for no good reason, and 2) misinterpret my words, or worse, choose to put words in my mouth so you can go and be outraged about it.

It does seem like a good illustration of the point I was trying to make, though.
I live in Poland. Every car radio I have ever owned did this, and every station that is available on more than a single frequency (that I'm aware of) can be followed using RDS. I can also listen to a CD or other media [1] and let it scan for traffic news in the background, it switches to any station that currently airs traffic news. It held true on road trips to other European countries.

[1] I rarely do this, for me listening to radio is an integral part of driving. Especially when I have commuted to/from work, I was able to tell if I'm running late based on what segment has been airing when driving past particular intersection or landmark.
The BeOS stuff you mention is sort of true, but not really. BeOS once had a full on database based file system, but that's not BFS. The OFS (Old File System - what they called it with in BeOS) had full on no holds barred database storage. But the performance sucked, synching the metatdata in the file system and database (which were different structures apparently) was a bit flakey, and the base for the way the filesystem worked was incompatible with integrating other file systems in to the OS. Dominic Giampaolo and Cyril Meurillon ended up creating a whole new base for the file system with VFS layer, etc. As part of that the BFS file system was created. This incorperated a subset of what the file system used to be able to do - it had extended attributes (for adding arbitrary data to the file), a query layer to allow querying those attributes and a mechanism for live queries that would allow the data to dynamically update. But it wasn't really a database in the same way WinFS was meany to be - i.e. built on top of SQL Server.
That's an interesting point I hadn't noticed before.

Everyone downvoting the comment should read this:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_liberalism
The trend of outrage posses armed with pitchforks and torches in politics, gender debates and whatnot is particularly worrying for those of us that need some slack and don't deserve to be crucified by an angry mob because we used the wrong word or said the "wrong", e.g. politically incorrect thing; even as most of that crowd of the offended know very well no actual harm was intended, they still choose to dramatise the situation for their own political or psychological needs.

This is why I defend freedom of speech and freedom to offend, because I know that I am somewhat on that autistic spectrum and can say things that might offend some people, and that even though those people know deep down inside there was no the intention to hurt or say bad things, they still want to make a point out of it. Having a strong feeling about something doesn't make you right. Emotional drama can make you an asshole, too.

I can pretend this is merely about ideological matters, but in all honesty, my stance likely finds its true origin in my own neurological "layout" and life experiences – as probably counts for anyone who has a strong opinion about something.

People who are somewhat on the autistic spectrum tend to have an affinity for rationality and some difficulties with emotions and "group-feel", and it's sad that this irrational polarising climate isolates them more and makes them avoid others as much as possible.

We really need to get away from this mindset of: the other side is wrong and they are nazis and hence deserve bad things happening to them and we will get you fired and come and rape you and an angry soapbox SJW will piss in your shoe.

It's the 21st century, get your shit together, no matter what side you are on or what crazy thing you believe in.

I am a christian Tanzanian in Tanzania and i though this was a Muslim thing and not something specific to india as this article and wikipedia[1] suggests.

My understand as it was explained in detail by a muslim here in Tanzania is that if a Muslim man divorces his wife once or twice,he can get her back with little effort since they are still semi-married. Its called "talaka" in swahili and its a simple note a man gives a woman as he sends her to her family and she is to use it as proof that he no longer wants her.

But if he divorces her three times,she will have to first be married to somebody else and then divorced before he can get her back and he will have to start from zero and go through all the process of marrying her as if they were never married.

Therefore, a muslim man who has never divorced his wife will issue the 3 divorces at the same time ONLY if he is 100% sure he will never,ever,ever want her back and he does not want to be talked out of it.

The above is my understanding of the 3 divorces as its practiced here in Tanzania.

Wow, what a terrible idea. Do you not know how inflation works? If a bank prints money for itself, do you think it worries how inflation is affecting its holdings? No, they have more holdings because they're the infiltrators. They have more monetary even as they devalue the currency. This is why Bitcoin is necessary. This is where bitcoin shines. Deflationary currencies are the future. Don't be that idiot that pretends temporary deflation events are the same as a currency that is intentionally deflationary.
