As usual, you are merely picking views you do not like. Your participation in ideological battles is far more gratuitous than any commenter on HN because you are the censor. The front page has more politically charged articles this year than ever - and people who reply honestly are punished if they disagree with your openly one-sided argumentation. I have several email records to prove others feel the same way and have tried to reason with HN admins directly about this - to no avail.
It’s not just cluelessness that is the problem, it is the motivation, ideology (and influence by funders) of the policy makers.

I host Commento for a couple sites, and it's awesome. It's really easy to manage and it kind of just works. My only gripe with it is the lack of email notifications for followup comments, but that's certainly not a deal breaker for small sites like mine.

That basic maintenance worked for my Dad, he got home from work at 3:00 pm and also had whole weekends for car/house/lawn/garage/hobbies.

I work further from home, with a higher paying job, and get home typically around 6:30 pm. Weekends are spent cramming in other household maintenance, recreational activities for the family, etc. So if having that new car (and spending $80 at the dealer every 3 - 4 months for basic maintenance) means having more free time to spend with my family, I feel it is a really good tradeoff.

You guys are incredible, thank you so much for what you do!!

Movie and TV reviews have gotten so hung up on performance, star power and visuals that they give us parents very little idea about content. They’re useless in many cases.

I feel like common sense media is an amazing tool for those of us that are concerned with the content in media and helps parents make better decisions.

Tesla in its current form has never had to weather an economic downturn. It will be subject to the same headwinds as any luxury manufacturer. Unlike other car companies that sell luxury, Tesla has no economy model.

Some commenters have noted that they can easily afford the price tag. It might be time to consider the transitory nature of that situation.

Tesla is an amazing company, (because/but) it has put all its eggs in one basket.

I wouldn't call them moderate left. They have quite few right wing policies in their program - lowering taxes, flat tax rate, keeping deficit low, removing bureaucracy.

They would be appealing to people who are right wing economically, but don't like the conservative/religious baggage, which comes with US republicans or UK's conservatives.

"I'm still peeved so many people hate video games categorically."

I think video games are beautiful. I just finished Detroit: Become Human, and I've been playing games since Wolf3d came out. I suspect that the digital story telling in many video games is every bit as much "literature" as any novel, poem, or play.

I also personally saw more people drop out of college because of WoW than drugs.

Just an anecdote.

But I don't feel that video games are any better or worse than smoking cannabis or drinking alcohol, and I don't mind feeling a little grated when folks marketed them to my kids in ways that directly attempt to increase their addictive potential.

I still want to build a MOOP - Massive Open Online Psychology. So much of our lives can be monitored that frankly I think they will be - so we may as well turn that to a positive.

84% of parents with well-behaved children went for a walk instead of allowing a second hour of games. Why don't you press this button, it will give a one minute countdown to all devices in your house.

Talking about and being from that AoE games generation, I think a big part is the absence of any restrictions and incentives to stop. Only very few of my friends back then had unrestricted access to videogames or even TV. And even if they did, there is only so much time you could sink into a sp game before you might want to do other stuff. This even more so for non strategy games. There was only so much you could get from a Super Mario game. Internet access was even more restricted. And they would have been alot stricter if they had known what was out there. You might have heard the web is a fucked up place?

With even smaller kids having a smartphone and constant high speed access to the web, of course they are stuck to the screen. Its a never ending source of keeping you entertained and hooked and you might remember, that being a kid can be boring as hell. With the phones so affordable and everyone doing it, it was kind of inevitable of a development. I think we are witnessing the fallout of that development. With kids stuck to screens and as a reaction the ever increasing demand to make the web more childproof to at least have less of a bad conscience if you let your child have unrestricted access.

I dont think individual parents are to blame though, being a parent is tough and you dont want your kid to be the only one without a smart phone. Neither do I think an all or nothing approach is any more sensible. As always the dosage makes the poison, which is why I think approaches like in french schools are reasonable, who banned smartphones inside the school. Having it established, that there are restrictions to smartphone usage might help parents to establish restrictions as well. However, it all boils down to the question of what is appropriate content for children, and whether the internet is intended to be such childproof content. The answer might simply be no, in which case the only real option would be a second child proof web. Sure, it would be close to impossible to enforce, but so is the ban of giving alcohol to minors. Kids will get their hands on a beer sooner or later, but such bans are usefull enough to not give them easy enough access to drink daily.

But thats something we need to decide as a society. We might decide on something else or keep everything as is, but at least we would have made a decisions. Because we shouldnt kid our self, at the moment we simply keep ignoring the issue only interrupted from short periods of senseless actionism. The availability of smartphones have introduced new circumstances and it is no suprise, that without intervening, they had a clear effect.

This is sad news. I was part of their beta testing trial and continued to subscribe. It was a clearinghouse for not only the Criterion Collection, but many films you cannot find on physical media.

I cannot find any details as to why they are stopping the service, but I suspect it has to do with the ATT acquisition. ATT is probably planning to fold many of their streaming services into one.

Immediately contact all the banks involved and report the fraud. They should be able to reverse the transaction.
There are dedicated teams of people who are highly skilled, well-funded and working full time at finding exploits with the intent of selling or using them.

The bad guys already have the vulnerabilities long before the good guys do.

Lower-skilled criminals and script kiddies who are relying on disclosure before they can do anything are far less ambitious and do far less damage.

Stuxnet and recent high-profile banking malware all employed legitimate 0day and did real damage to people. Vulnerability disclosure contributed nothing towards that.

But I'm not saying this to convince you, I'm saying this to keep my stuff secure. Google doesn't choose 90 days out of a sense of anything other than what's good for Google and its shareholders.
As I understand it, QT is good for embedded applications because it uses a very direct, weakly/efficiently abstracted API. You can do a lot with minimal computing resources. Putting something like chrome or firefox's rendering engine in embedded devices means carrying across lots of costly bloat or doing absurd work to slim them down.
The only thing that might make QT hard to get into is the lack of enthusiasm for it, the sparseness of expertise, stagnant job market, etc. Things that are "not hip" in development usually have similar obstacles.
As you're no doubt aware, these kinds of analyses can be tricky when dealing with fat-tailed distributions, such as income. Using the median can hide exactly the kinds of large disparities that Piketty, et al, are talking about. Likewise, saying that 93% of the poor exceeded their parents' income while only 70% of the wealthy did so leaves out the most important number, which is the aggregate amount by which each group benefited.

I don't believe anyone has made the claim that the poor have gotten nothing; only that they have gotten a grossly disproportionate share of growth. Nothing in your article refutes that premise. Indeed, you seem to go out of your way to avoid actually addressing it directly.
Or I could just get the disc off the shelf and pop it in the drive on the rare occasion I want to watch it. What's the benefit to spend the time ripping it?

Like, I manage an ebook library, and I easily spend more time and effort managing said ebook library than I actually spend reading the ebooks. So I'm hesitant to bring myself into movie library management when I have a fairly robust physical storage medium already handy.
It probably helped, but piracy site visits were down 53% in 14 months.

> At an early age I acquired a taste for novel reading, and indulged it to such an excess, that my mind was enervated, and its relish destroyed for higher and more solid attainments. I feel that I had a capacity for better things; but, under the ascendancy of this idle habit, it sunk into a fatal lethargy, from which neither shame nor ambition could awaken it. The drunkard, in the intervals of sobriety, feels most keenly the evils of intoxication, and, if self love allowed him to be candid, could a tale unfold of disease, of mental and bodily suffering, that would do more for the cause of temperance than all the societies in the world have ever accomplished. The excitement of novel reading is akin to intoxication. When it subsides, it leaves the mind collapsed and imbecile, without the capacity or the inclination for active exertion. I question, whether the confessions of an opium-eater exhibit more striking evidences of the pernicious influence of that stimulating drug on the physical system, than the experience of an habitual novel reader can furnish of the injurious effects, produced on his mental organization by the constant perusal of works of fiction.

Reading novels will make your brains pour out your ears, kid.

Why can't i just buy a digital BluRay? Like yes i can do whatever i want with it :|

Yes i know people would copy those asap but still AARGH...
This is my point of view: Everyone is a narcissist maximally. It's not a spectrum, just a maximum state that is always on, always self preserving, but personality differs quite a bit. Personality causes others to perceive others as being more or less narcissistic. In other words we started using the word narcissistic to start describing personality types.
Banking standards here in the EU impose a 13 months period during which the sender (order sender) can ask for a full refund. Check your local rules. This has to be talked about with the respective banks involved (that of your client + the one that received payment), as I believe you can't do anything anymore.

Next time, use more than one communication channel (Facebook, phone, signal, telegram, whatsapp... anything, really)

You should also see with your domain registrar and mail provider what happened.

Replace ChromeBook with second hand Thinkpad and you have a very valid question (in my opinion).
Hey [redacted], thanks for the thoughtful comments here.

> One thing that is undeniable is that a bootstrap will always leave you in control at the end of the day.

I agree bootstrapping gives you more say over which way you take the business, and hopefully that came across in my post (although I only mentioned it briefly).

> I think a product should not be made for the potential profit it could amass but to fill a need for these users, listening to them feels like the next logical step to take (and most companies, even tremendously giant ones, still fail to do this I feel like).

I agree we should be motivated by more than money. As I mention in the post, money is a bad master but a great servant. We need money to serve us, so we can feed our families and keep the lights on, but money itself shouldn't be the goal. I realise when taking funding this confuses the matter, as now you're not just responsible for your family, but for providing a return to your investors. I still believe it's possible to be mission-driven having taken funding, but understand it can complicate the matter.

> Even more important than that is that it might not be the next unicorn, but that is absolutely fine for some people. They just want enough to feed themselves and their families while having a sane work life/rhythm of say 4-5 hours a day once you get it rolling.

I agree the end goal for us is often spending time with those we love, whilst having that sense of purpose I mentioned in the post. We all want to leave some impact on the world, maybe that's a partner or children who know we loved them, maybe it's a few hundred paying customers who love your product, maybe it's some big swing towards a big dent in the world.

My co-founder and I are relatively counter-cultural in the startup world, admittedly it's early days, but we don't work crazy hours as our belief is that the long hours are often busy work, not important work. If we can look after ourselves, not get burnt out, make wise decisions from a place of rest and do important deep work regularly, we believe we can outcompete any startup bro culture that works 80+ hour weeks.

> I feel like the author used to somewhat adhere to this moto but somewhere along the way got lost and is now simply after the money for the sake of it.

I don't believe that's the case, personally. My current wage is half that of 2 other contracting roles I was offered at the same time as this gig. I'm fully aware the vast majority of startups fail, so I'll very likely be out of pocket. I took the role as I admire my co-founder and wanted to learn from his product skills, an area I realised I needed to grow in.

Before taking this role I used to work a full-time job, come home in the evenings and work on my side-hustle. For 3 years it meant I didn't really have a life outside of the day job and the side hustle. Now I normally work 8-4, home by 5 and have the evening to meet friends or relax. People often think taking funding means having less work/life balance, right now for me it's the opposite (again, caveat we're early days).
The last financial crisis led to the rich getting richer. They'll always have money for Teslas.
It's really a shame. There are very few streaming services left where I feel like I can pick something out with little to no research and end up finding a gem. It's been my go-to "No idea what to watch but I want to watch something good" service, and it's disappointing that it won't be around for that anymore.

Regular dates don't happen in a context where a company has given significant power to one person over another person. A company a) has a responsibility to make sure that power is not abused, and b) has an obligation to avoid legal liability for misuse of that power.

Your theory that "contextual evidence" will be enough to ensure fair outcomes is absurd. Either you haven't paid much attention to how this works in the real world or you are willfully ignoring the experiences of people who go through this.

Both from press reports and from what I hear personally, the average outcome of someone reporting sexual misconduct in a work context is a) the accuser is put through the wringer, b) nothing happens to the accused, and c) the accuser eventually has to leave a poisonous environment.
Figure out what interface they use when reading the emails and if it's HTML compatible, put an email signature in every message that has a random set of curse words in white.
I can imagine system with drag and drop sentence fragments and modifiable variables designed for the construction of contracts. When a document is finished, it would produce a summary of the consequences with as few interpretations as possible, possibly with a toggle for Wikipedia-style keyword linking in the result. The document could then be tweaked until the summary exactly matches what both parties want, at which point the document and summary together become the contract. Although, if such a system were to become widely used, I feel like lawyers will still be used to either discover or introduce any other remotely plausible interpretations that exist in the generated contract.
It's still endgame.

My solution was to say sayonara to everybody and move to Tokyo, to attend a full time Japanese language school, with people generally 10–20 years my juniors. I'm doing good so far, I'm making tons of friends and the school is keeping my mind and my schedule full. (I just picked a random interest and a sufficiently far away place. It could have been cooking or hiking in the Andes, for what matters.)

It's too early to say whether I'm recovering. I hope so. I think I'm seeing some color returning to my hair, but it might just be the light.

My point is that they all generalize better from larger datasets. Size is relative and some techniques work better with more or less data. Linear regression, for instance, can work quite well with much less data than a neural net. It just depends on the complexity of the problem.
