I heard stories that Apple Music or iTunes (I don’t remember which one) would scan your local library to see what you owned, add the songs to your Apple account and delete the local files to save space.

First, nobody is saying government workers need to follow all orders. They can always quit. If certain workers believe they cannot in good conscience work for the Trump administration, then they have my respect, but they should resign.

Second, genocide is a far cry from the government not sufficiently regulating a business to your tastes.

If government workers are allowed to make their own policy, we are not long a democracy, but a dictatorship-by-beaucracy.

You may think that is a-okay when someone you dislike is in power, but how did you feel when that Kentucky Clerk refused to issue marriage certificates to homosexuals? What if the workers in HHS decide they need to regulate abortion?

Yes, I was trying to help him practice negative visualization, by imagining a worse outcome than his current situation. But stoicism can greatly help you with medical issues, many people have used its tenants to overcome debilitating circumstances.

I think using a catastrophic medical event, like a terminal illness diagnosis, is a good technique when trying to consider if a situation is really that bad. Of course, a terminal illness diagnosis is also something that can be accepted and overcome with stoic resolve, but it is a good yardstick for something like losing a lot of money with an investment.

This may be a dumb question: How is it that in recent years small groups of programmers, sometimes just one, are able to recreate games that used to take a whole studio?

Anyone who knows more care to enlighten? Thanks in advance.

Depends on just exactly how rational you want to be. If your planning horizon is quarterly and annual numbers it makes perfect sense. If you want your company still do business in the coming decades then holding on and denying change can make you blind to the necessary adaptions.

Open source empowers software authors, giving them more control over their creations than deadline-driven company funding can (even when management is well-meaning).

At the same time, open source does not harm capital -- in many cases it presents a superior alternative to proprietary competition and thus is a better investment.

It seems to me that Open Source achieves certain aspects of what we might hope for from unions and guilds and other models of labor organization -- a strong, mutually beneficial framework for the collaboration of labor and capital.

If you model all state changes as a serializable list of actions, like with Redux or Vuex, this is a non issue. You'd simply get the same two commands and your reducers would compute the same state for all clients, thanks to immutable data structures we don't need to mutate the state & do not have the issue you described.
Right. How is that any different from when you deposit $100 in the bank and the bank promises to give you your $100 back when you ask for it? That doesn't reduce their reserves; it _increases_ them.

Only difference with using coins this way is that rather than the $100 being tied to you as an individual, it'd instead be tied to the coin itself. (So whoever possesses $100 worth of the bank's coin can get that same amount back in USD.)

In the Czech Republic, it's pay slips/bank statements, or a work contract for mortgage (you cannot fire someone without a reason). There is a central government database of people who didn't pay a debt on time.

In Germany, also pay slips and work contracts. Additionally, there is a semi-private government-mandated company (I never understood why Germans don't complain about this) that maintains a database of existing debtors. You basically start with a perfect score and it decreases only when you don't repay on time.

That's why I was very careful with my words. Of course, we will see parodies and the like.

However, Charlottesville, and their speakers should absolve any idea that this is a joke. These white supremacists actively call for violence against other, and then proceed to enact it.

The distinction here, is the "call to arms"->"illegal action directly related to call to arms". And I do believe that Cloudflare and others have a distinct responsibility in this.

Tl;Dr: say the shit you want, but once you bring violence into it, all bets are off.

Here's another perspective I thought pretty interesting from Charlie Lee, creator of Litecoin:

Most North American, South American, European and African small businesses have zero business relationships when it comes to selling into China. EU exports to China, for example, are a mere ~$210b - with zero growth for several years - vs the $17t size of the EU economy. That's about 1/3 smaller than the size of Canadian imports from the US.

So it very much depends on your use case, as always. Mostly what China is looking to do is export and acquire, they've shown a very low interest in importing in any broad sense. Most businesses around the world will never have meaningful access to selling into China, unless their economic approach radically changes.
They are silly though. You can't create data out of thin air and this article even notes multiple times that for more complexity/detail, it requires more data to be ingested at shooting time.

The author, Johann Hari, recently had a Guardian piece on depression. His representation of psychiatric research and clinical practice was so cartoonish that he has burned up his credibility with me. Steven Novella (a clinical neurologist) discusses that article here: https://theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php/more-mental-il...

This article is similar, in that Hari is claiming, without evidence, that depression is always caused by life events. It's a strange claim to make, not only because it's made without any support, but because modern psychiatric research and practice most certainly incorporate traumatic life events as potential causes of depression.
No serious scientists have thought depression was caused by any simple story of chemical imbalances that drugs were directly fixing. The author acts like everyone has been assuming that depressed people have an ssri deficiency. And that's it's a huge insight to consider therapy.

And people have tried therapy for a very long time. The best studies show it's as effective as anti depressants. But here's the rub, it's very expensive to go the therapy.

My wife had a condition that is more amenable to therapy than drugs and that cost us $500/week, and the only reason she could make her appointments was because she didn't need to work. I have no idea how a working family would have been able to afford it.

Her ssri's are 15$ a month and she has to see a psychiatrist every 3 months.

It is pretty incredible how resilient BTC has been to panic selling, it has definitely been trending downward at a high rate but I would have bet that a panic sell-off would have occurred before it reached these prices.

> You’d think that the near implosion of the music industry would have been a clue though. Where there is demand and anti-consumer practices, there will be piracy. Is it just that people making these decisions are ignorant, or emotional? Does anyone know?

Wow. That is harsh.

The current state of music is that artists need about 4 million Spotify plays per month to make minimum wage ($1160) [1]. That's assuming the artist does not have to share the revenue with anyone and not counting the time needed to break even on the initial investment (if you even manage to break even before the recording is 'old' and you're up for a new one).

Realistically there is no money in recorded music anymore except for the John Mayers and Taylor Swifts, so nothing has been solved in that industry and there is no 'clue' to get.

There was a legitimate source of income, then technology devaluated the product to oblivion. It's not worthy of damnation that those in an industry that is being levelled with the ground are caught off guard and attempt to fix their problems.

It would do us good to empathise with the people in these industries, because there are going to be a heck of a lot of them in the coming years. If we value the product of their labor we should want to offer them an alternative source of income instead of berating them.

There’s a mountain of circumstantial evidence (most recently, the Trump administration’s flat refusal to implement the Russian sanctions https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/29/us/politics/trump-russia-... which had passed both houses of Congress almost unanimously, and were signed by Trump because they realized a veto would be overridden). If you want you can peruse a very extensive timeline, http://billmoyers.com/story/trump-russia-timeline/ (to get much out of this you need to actually read the linked stories, which takes considerable time and effort; this is a complex case and public knowledge dribbles out in bits and pieces, and the purpose of a timeline like this is to collect them not to provide high-level analysis. I’m not sure if there is a concise coherent summary anywhere.)

The special counsel is presumably constructing a more fleshed out case looking at proving a direct quid pro quo, using witness testimony, financial records, etc. All of that investigation is currently secret however.
I suspect that much if not all of blockchain consulting (including bitcoin) will be regarded as opportunistic charlatanry by future historians. Blockchainism is the alchemy of the internet age: a long, costly and (in the short term) counterproductive dead end quest to reify, through successive rounds of epicyclic tweaking, a fundamentally flawed system of philosophical premises that its most vocal and ideologically inclined proponents have mistaken for conclusions.

Yet just as alchemy inadvertantly fostered the development of the scientific method and attendant apparatus for quantification of natural phenomena, blockchainism may yield insights and instrumentation with similar impact potential, this time pertaining to the phenomena of human nature through quantification of social interaction and value formation process.
> Work going downhill. My life feels ruined Any advice

I would try to paid attention to this first. How can this mistake ruin your life? Or is just many other things accumulating?

The loss of money is a done deal, but the others look like solvable things.

----

After taking care of the other more important things, look at the investment and use the advice elsewhere.

Also, you can understand this:

You still have the same value of BTC/ETH, but is the conversion to USD that is suffering. Is like if you get 1 bar of gold, was a US100 now US50.

But you still have the gold.

You HAVE NOT LOSE BTC/ETH. Is the CONVERSION MARKET that is VOLATILE.

Now, some investors are hungry for cheap BTC/ETH. You could turn a minor "profit" for it.

Also, you can FORGET ABOUT THE USD and start trading to increase the amount of BTC/ETh. If the loss is so bad, lose all is acceptable to you? Then after you mind is free of FEAR, you can only get up. And if not, is already a lost cause, cause that you have accepted.

Or just wait.

P.D: I also "lost" the value of my cryptos. I'm not on hurt because I never put my life on risk.

Yeah, I can imagine that's frustrating. Is it something you actually want to take some action on? Do you want to help make HN a better place? Please don't take that as accusatory: it takes effort to be constructive, and each person has to make a decision whether or not that's worth the effort. If it's not (or perhaps at least not right now), it may not worth commenting at all: as you say, your comments have been attracting downvotes regardless.

If you think it is worth the effort, then I'd ask you to take a step back and see if there may be ways you can change how you're commenting: Communication is a many way street, involving all parties involved. The only one you have control over however, is yourself, so really the only thing you can do.

You mention "push[ing] hard against the echo chamber", so it sounds like you are interested in making HN a better place. I definitely think it's important to figure out ways to have constructive conversations about difficult topics. I also think there are ways of going about this that actively work against that. It's really important to keep in mind normal human psychology and behavior.

Unconstructive complaining is very unlikely to move the needle in a positive direction. It adds to the noise and degrades the overall atmosphere. Commenting on the internet is hard: it's low bandwidth compared to many other forms we're used to: we don't have the benefit of intonation or body language. On a diverse forum, we can't rely on a common background in which to place what we're saying. It sometimes feels like there are more ways it can go wrong than to go right.

So extra time and care is important, particularly if you're interested in discussing contentious issues. When things go wrong, it's really important to take a step back and see how you might have contributed to the situation, and, even if you think you didn't do anything wrong, to look at what you can do to actively prevent whatever went wrong in the future.

It's perhaps trite, but I think it often can be summed up in "it's not what you say, it's how you say it", with the corollary that as the topic becomes more contentious, it's even more important to take care in how you say it.

I hope you do choose to look at ways you might change how you comment to have the effect you want, to make HN the place you want it to be. HN is a community and how each member chooses to contribute makes HN what it is. We can each help make it the place we want it to be by how we participate: how we comment, vote, and submit.
