> There is no good solution from a service's side

I can't believe that. Nothing will be perfect but there must be some combination of options that can improve things significantly.

Maybe it is volunteer mods. Or HN require new members to pass a 'best use' rules questionnaire before posting (or exiting offenders). Or they run algorithms to find users that vote inline with the spirit of HN and ninja ban people they downvote.

I dont profess to know the answer but there must be improving options available. And further someone solving this is a quite important concept (and potentially a great business too), as while here I want a better conversation, the recent US elections showed us what bot armies and paid shills can do, there are probably options that can be employed in the wider internet encourage genuine conversation in general.

It doesn’t matter that it’s not supposed to be proportional, it’s a simple scaling up from current energy usage and current transaction frequency to the world population.

All that tells us is that bitcoin as it currently exists, and as part of the way it interacts with the real world has a flaw — it doesn’t tell us if that flaw is an oversight in the design or if it’s a gold-rush and/or a price bubble because humans are being irrational.
Surely, that can't be how it works though, can it? If he refused to release the key and got say 10 years of prison, he wouldn't be free to spend them after getting out of prison - after all, they are still considered stolen property. Serving the prison sentence wouldn't magically make them his.
I think it was flagged because the original article was posted back in March[0] and this is viewed as a reposting. However, the article has been updated and I think it's perfectly fine to re-post something from over 6 months ago. I certainly don't remember seeing it the first time around and appreciate it being posted now.

It is true that San Francisco is becoming more expensive day to day.
The issue with supposedly well-written articles like this one is the fact that I need to go through literally 4 paragraphs repeating the same thing as a different metaphor. Just look at this:

>>> CEOs are orientation locks. The opposite of steering is orientation locking. To enforce Newton’s first law, the inertia one, on dancing human systems inclined to violate it. Contrary to popular belief, it isn’t inertia that’s the problem for most companies, it is lack of sufficient inertia in the right direction. Enough to punch through any resistance that might be encountered. And the reason they lack the inertia is that CEOs aren’t steady enough in their jobs as orientation locks, providing a steady True North signal to everybody else doing more local kinds of steering work.

>>> The primary CEO function, and the trait the good ones are selected for, is to provide the gyroscopic stability required to keep a company vectored in the chosen direction. They end up in the jobs they do because they counterbalance an organization’s natural tendency towards distraction, ADD and momentum dissipation. A typical company is a wandering, wobbling hive mind, liable to spend all its time chasing distractions if you let it, before dissolving into a bunch of clever tweets about crappy prototypes.

>>> As the orientation lock, the CEO becomes the human locus where momentum compounds; the psychological platform others build on. They are the steward of whatever snowballing network effect or unleashed natural wealth-creating dynamic is the company’s raison d’être. Their primary job, and ideally their only one, is to protect and feed that dynamic, and get everything else out of the way.

>>> Every act of steering leaks or drains at least a small amount of momentum, no matter where in the company it happens. But steering at the CEO locus truly hemorrhages momentum, creating serious, possibly existential, vulnerabilities. Because by definition there are no systems for doing it well. If there’s a system, it would have kicked in before things got to CEO level. Worse, steering at CEO level might actually kill whatever compound-interest dynamic is driving the whole show, killing not just live momentum, but its source of renewal and growth.

Your anger is legitimate, but your line of thinking is misplaced. Going "we should not allow billionaires" leads directly to "we need an authority to limit and redistribute gains". So you make The Authority which has ultimate authority over all political power and economic capital and now you're in a totalitarian state. If there is a singular group that is the only group allowed to have meaningful power, it won't be long before that group has all the power. Everybody is equal, but members of The Party are ten times as equal...

Instead you should be thinking "how do I/we get these obviously capable and motivated people to act in a way that benefits all of us". Zuckerberg didn't steal the money by overt force (what the socialist government used to do to us in East Europe), there was a long line of economic exchanges that benefited both parties in some way, that let him get to where he is. He started high, yes, and he reached even higher. The fact he's now acting churlish should not be cause for you to ask for the abolishment of basic human rights and liberties.

> I have certbot running in one Docker container, the .well-known route directing to the one dedicated Docker host running certbot, and whenever certbot renews the certificate, it writes the cert to the NAS share that is only mounted on the LBs and then triggers a SIGKILL to the haproxy docker containers (which causes haproxy to re-read the cert file and configuration).

Is this really more stable than a simple cronjob? It is far more complicated, for sure, so there should be significant benefits to make up for that.
> Socialist societies

Please make a difference between a socialist-leaning societal culture and an actual totalitarian government necessary to force everyone to follow socialist policies. The socialism you're thinking of starts when you abolish elections (or make it the law that you have to vote for The Party) and merge the three branches of government. Simply enacting socialist policies for the benefit of the community within the established democratic framework of checks and balances on the power of governing bodies, is not a slippery slope and does not end with actual socialism.

Good points. But how many customers you talk to is enough? If I'm building a product for enterprise, is talking to one keen potential customer enough? For a first time founder, I can't imagine someone without much connections can get the chance to talk to multiple potential enterprise customers.

What about a product targeting the mass market, if I'm building a mobile app, is talking to a dozen friends enough? or should I pay for a market research which can reach hundreds of strangers.

Do you talk to customers with prototypes of the features or do you just have a basic skeleton and say 'what if I have this and that'?

>Terrible democratic candidate translates to "she's a woman"

No, it translates to:

* Obvious corporate shill and corrupt beltway insider - made even more obvious in light of the content of the leaked emails.

* A candidate who had a chequered political career that included dog whistling racists - an event that Trump made massive political capital out of and used to get large portions of a base she was relying upon - black voters - to stay at home.

* A candidate whose approach was to present herself of defender of the status quo at a time of obvious economic distress for most Americans which has never worked, ever.

* And yes, warmonger (that much was obvious from her term as secretary of state)

* A candidate whose strategy to get people to vote for her was to hypocritically either imply or outright state that you were sexist or racist if you considered voting for the other guy. Funnily enough that backfired massively but people (like you) are still flogging that dead horse in what I can only assume is an errant attempt to ensure that Trump wins a second term in office.

The really puzzling part of this whole thing is the number of people on Hacker News who will argue out of one side of their mouth that Facebook ads area a scam that simply don't work and on the other hand that spending what is essentially political pocket change on them will buy you a presidency. Crazy.

I am pretty sure wireless is really going to change this in the next few years. Most of those locations probably already have LTE coverage and many times its better than the wired tech in the area.

Everyone is just waiting for a good unlimited plan and many will just move over to hotspots / LTE routers. It has the benefit of going with you when you travel or move and the carrier like it because last mile is so expensive to upgrade.

I know a lot of people working remotely in RV's moving around the country and it's only possible because of good wireless coverage that's getting better very fast.

I think with more remote work and better wireless coverage you could see floodgate open of tech workers moving to rural areas, I know I want to.

That is interesting to me, as the small towns I have spent time around have the opposite problem. They cannot find enough people for all the work. The numbers indicate that there are more jobs than people in the town I hale from. And, as it relates to the parent comment, a large section of the community is connected with symmetrical fibre and the entire community is slated to be in the next few years.

The biggest challenge for economic development is getting the word out. It seems in my experience that people have it in their mind that cities are the only place you can find work, so they don't even bother looking for jobs elsewhere.

Absolutely. Money is just one of many factors I consider when choosing a job. I see no 'shame' in that. I honestly have/earn enough money to cover all my expenses, so getting a bit more isn't that super important to me. As long as you meet my floor I'm willing to negotiate away money for other perks.

Yes it will. A single user being careless with their password only exposes that user. Leaking the master key (and it will leak) exposes everyone. The target is much bigger, the payoff is much bigger for the bad guys, the risks are immense.
