I agree, I was just stating why it would be very challenging (and therefore possibly why it's so underexplored).
ChromeOS is what Ubuntu was trying to be but failed to be and its absolutely a great OS for consumers.

Android you excluded but its single handedly responsible for linux being the main way consumers access the internet now.

The year of the linux desktop is already here. The year of the FOSS desktop is a long time off.
I never used Google Reader and never cared much for RSS, and yet as a developer I have been bit by tons of services Google has discontinued, from login mechanisms to web APIs. The shut down tons of things, including things that make them money (Google Checkout). I know end users sad about Picasa, as they had organized all of their photos into that app, and have seen end users concerned about the continual discontinuation of messaging apps.

Where is this storyline / narrative that this is always about Google Reader coming from? It is downright nonsensical at this point, and is clearly false.
Note that this option may have some limitations depending on the country: Turkey blocks the IMEI of unregistered devices after 120 days, so if you plan to travel there multiple times, you may be out of luck (AFAIK only residents can register their device). So it is definitely worth checking the rules before traveling to a country.
Never heard of oat milk, but appears even unsweetened oat milk has too many carbs. My favorite is unsweetened almond/coconut milk for low carb and good taste.

But for coffee creamer, I think whipping cream tastes better. I use low carb keto coffee creamer in powder form, for ease of use.
He was fighting against alt righters that had targeted him for months in the clip he got banned for where he called them out on their bigoted opinions and poor behavior, and is a known target of theirs. To say he is alt right is unreasonable and incorrect, although for some he is certainly divisive.
I completely disagree. I've had the same problem with PayPal and Venmo. At some point, if anything goes wrong, they just say their security system has flagged you and there is nothing they can do. They can't even tell you the issue. You just have to wait and hope it eventually clears you, hope it doesn't flag you the next time you do it (which it probably will somewhere in the algorithm, since you've been flagged before) or close/cancel your account.
Nice little Webapp! Has all the features I wanted, it was a little tedious to select number of CPU's and Memory, but still very cool. Does it update manually or automatically with prices?

Sargon of Akkad is highly critical of the Alt-Right. He describes himself as a "classical British liberal." However, since he also criticizes the far left, the far left tars him as Alt-Right, which I find to be an authoritarian and highly dishonest tactic. Basically, it's a tactic to get everyone to shut-up and put-up through intimidation, brooking no dissent from their own side. That's not how liberals should be engaging and searching for the truth. That's basically how George W. Bush was acting when he was selling the WMD narrative.
Multiple accounts is both allowed and common. The only rule is that input broadcasting to control multiple accounts at once or using the alternate accounts to bot is not allowed. (And even input broadcasting was legal until a few years ago). Being logged into 2-3 accounts and alt-tabbing between them is perfectly permitted.

Makes sense. Others in the thread had said that Chromecast Audio was way better than standard bluetooth or wireless audio solutions because it had wifi capabilities and instead of requiring battery usage from your phone, it simply pulls the data stream itself from the internet.

No. This is simply lack of communication, both between computers and humans. All it takes is a couple DBs becoming unjoined in a query or someone not telling the full story for information to be lost.
> you're right back where you started

That's kind of the point. Enforce taxes so that people have less money or print money and raise inflation so that the money people have is worth less, either way the real consideration is how much of the nation's productivity you are using, not how you are getting the money.
Alt right is neo nazis and white nationalists. Good to know this guy is alt right. Need to stay away from them! It’s so strange that banning of Neo nazis (as you describe him) is controversial!
How do you make and implement such a thing without turning it into the mother of all money laundries?
So to clarify it’s another way to proselytize to the homeless.

It also weirdly fails to understand that if they can be exchanged for food, then they can be exchanged for drugs, probably at a functionally higher price than just giving money in the first place.
If you end up listening to this advice and doing away with the "like Ruby/Rails" requirement, but find that a random pair of functional languages is a bit too esoteric, I'd recommend checking out Elixir and Phoenix. Lot's of interesting ideas that can give you that monk-like enlightenment again, but you won't struggle with as many of the problems that are endemic to small ecosystems.
Plus Elixir/Phoenix have been designed web-development first, and won't leave you to reinvent the wheel (or all of Rails), as you often have to when using a more spartan framework.
Sweden has a personal identity number system, with an address/phone database that business can subscribe to. When you're shopping online, you can enter your ID number and it auto-populates your address. When you move, banks and others will automatically pull your new address from the database.

The banks then created a digital ID system (BankID) on top of this which is now used by everyone for real ID verification. Your physical ID is checked by a bank teller, and after that you get either a digital certificate file or a 2FA token that you can then use online to prove your identity for signing contracts (insurance etc), filing your taxes, or just logging into bank accounts etc.

Practically it works pretty well, even though I know philosophically an ID number like that would never fly in the US, and security-wise I'm sure experts have lots of objections.
The popular Raspberry Pi platform only started shipping with a 64-bit ARM cpu in 2016, and ARM chipsets with 64-bit support only started appearing around 2012/2013. So I'd expect many new embedded platforms to continue using 32-bit systems well into the next decade.

What if everyone had a personal always-on cloud storage like dropbox, or even their ISP, where data is encrypted and access managed via crypto keys exchanged directly between clients so that plaintext never leaves the client. This gets us around devices being offline and NATs. Clients communicate via these always-on cloud stores using them as store and forward network, along the lines of http://cweb-services.com/intro.html

There are challenges like establishing initial connections, or push notifications, but these can hopefully be worked out.
The parent made a point about self-funding. Microsoft was entirely self-funded out of operations, post the initial capital put in by Gates & Allen. It was wildly profitable, with extraordinary margins, at the point where it took a tiny bit of VC. They didn't take VC because they needed it to finance the business, they took it for the relationships they were trying to cultivate to lure talent.

The famous Fortune article about the IPO covers all of this:

http://fortune.com/2011/03/13/inside-the-deal-that-made-bill...

They also didn't IPO because they specifically needed the money from the IPO.

The parent comment carefully qualified their statement this way:

"Most successful startups are self funded for most of their life"

Emphasis on most of their life. Amazon was financed by VC for only about the first 2 1/2 years. Uber for example is nearly a decade old and still drinking from the VC tap; Quora is another example of that. Amazon's IPO was just under three years after the founding. Thereafter most of their business expansion was financed by operations in one form or another (including a bunch of debt they took on).

Sargon long self-identified as a liberal. For a long time, he ended up right where the UK Green party was on the Political Compass test, and also matched me pretty spot on. (I'm a child of immigrants, non-white, and a lifelong liberal.) He's moved a bit to the right, but could be rightly called a "centrist."

There's a dishonest tactic of tarring at play here.

Forget the journalist, just live stream it via a YouTube account with a psuedonym first/last name. Considering how disorganized Google is, I doubt they'd take it down for a good while (if at all).
Your parent comment mentioned "one of your users" which I can only take as disingenuous since the full second sentence of Bird's letter to the mutants begins "Specifically, one of your
users, Cory Doctorow, is promoting ...".

While perhaps some rando HN commenter can profess to not know what an "ESR" is (above, and sure ok fine, insert xkcd here), it doesn't seem likely that Bird doesn't know what a Boing Boing / Doctorow is. But even if they stamped out a boilerplate takedown with Linda Kwak's attestation that she has ".. a good faith belief, and do[es] solemnly and sincerely declare .." then it's on her, that's the rules of the DMCA takedown game, don't hate the players.

It seems far more likely that Bird knows full well what they were getting into here.

Of course you can copyright words. If you couldn't there would be almost no books and publishers would be out of business. Trademark is not copyright, it's for branding and it's only purpose is to indicate the source of a product and avoid brand confusion and others trading off a company's good will.
I am curious to how this could be solved. I mean, i guess you could have your browser ask before every request generated for a page, but that seems very cumbersome.
The problem is people. To put it charitably, not everyone is "technical" enough to figure out how to own their own data, so I think silos and walled gardens are here to stay, because they are quick and easy for people. I for one, fully support keeping my own data in (as much as possible) future-proof formats, and although I've had a blog in some form for years, I want to move away from standard social media as much as possible.
And thanks to the enormous hero worship of YC it's taken until now for this to dawn on the majority of readers. I say that as it's the top comment and I feel that a few years back it would have been downvoted.
Oh, but that's more a matter of where you start and what you bootstrap.

In both cases, DNS and TLS CA-based stuff is about trust. You need to trust the DNS server, as there could be malicious servers sneaking in, and you need to trust the cert.

But once you have a social network with a large strong set, you could base the trust on the strong set, and in particular, individuals in that strong set who can demonstrate that they have a clue.

Once we have that, we can get rid of these achilles heels, but quite frankly, I don't believe in a strategy that takes on those problems first.

Sure, I obviously got OpenNIC in my DNS resolution. Haven't once seen an address that required me to use it beyond when I set it up. I think our approach is much better. Base it on people and the strongest part of their network.

> One of the reasons I am in the process of moving all of my domains to Gandi is because they appear to be the only reputable domain registrar that supports U2F.

I use Gandi and am quite pleased with their security settings. Not only is my account secured with an absurdly long password, I have U2F enabled and I have enabled the IP restriction list so that authentication only succeeds when coming from one of them. They even fixed my only quibble. In the past, if I logged in with valid credentials but from an unlisted IP, the error message would say "you're coming from an IP that's not permitted." Now the message for all types of failures--bad password, wrong IP, incorrect TOTP code--is the same so an attacker can't confirm valid credentials.

As discussed elsewhere, that case is not applicable. Bird has left their former property on the public right of way intending to others to use it. If they are not locally permitted to do so, then this act constitutes abandonment. If they are permitted to do so, prosecutors won't prosecute.

In contrast, the homeless person has not left there property around for the express purpose of letting others use it.
Why? There's plenty of open source stuff like https://www.home-assistant.io out there.
Didn't Jordan Peterson also get banned?
The guy spends considerable time and effort criticizing and debating the Alt Right, neo nazis, and white nationalists.

It’s so strange that banning of Neo nazis (as you describe him) is controversial!

It's controversial, because many people are being labeled thusly as a dishonest authoritarian intimidation tactic. Tim Pool, who's non-white, a lifelong liberal, and left leaning, is another alternative journalist who is similarly -- and dishonestly, inaccurately -- tarred.

It's controversial, because there are those of us in the liberal camp seeing such dishonest and authoritarian tactics used to silence dissent from within the left. That's not how democratic institutions and organizations who supposedly care about truth are supposed to act.

If the main criteria is to be similar to Ruby + Rails, Python + Django is the right way to go. Beyond the many similarities of Ruby and Python as languages, Django fills the niche for the Python web development ecosystem that Rails does for Ruby; a fully fleshed-out framework, which comes with batteries included.

Many people have had the experience of choosing a lightweight framework (Sinatra, Flask, etc.) and gradually needing more and more features from a heavier framework. Eventually you find that you wrote a poorly documented, poorly implemented version of Django or Rails, and bringing new people onto your team is now far harder than just finding people who've used a specific framework.
Huh...

> The situation becomes problematic when we are robbed of our choice, deceived into thinking there is only one access gate to a space that, in reality, we collectively own.

Robbery - the action of taking property unlawfully from a person or place by force or threat of force. [0]

Deceit - The action or practice of deceiving someone by concealing or misrepresenting the truth [1]

That's what those words mean. They also have nothing to do with anything that has happened with the internet over the last 20 years.

Technology won't help with this, regulation will.

We have parallels from other platforms - specifically the fixed and mobile phone networks.

There used to be monopolies in local phone service. There were new competitors, but to change provider, you had to change phone number.

Even changing cell phone provider required a number change.

This obviously had strong network effects pulling you to stay with your provider. You had to tell _everyone_ in your extended network where to find you and have them update all of their business records when you changed from one carrier to another.

Eventually, everyone figured out this was stupid, and Number Portability [1] was forced on carriers by regulation.

This problem is completely gone now. You can take your number with you.

If we allow people to take their data to new social networks, and force federation, then we will get decentralization. However, it won't happen without regulation anymore than it did with the phone companies.

Nope, not being disengenous. You can use the scooters without paying or getting permission in the app first, you simply lose the benefit of the electric boost.

I see, something like sacrificing long term viability for short term growth? Since jacking prices may give you a great quarter but destroy your brand in the long run.

My understanding is that big value stocks which pay dividend have less pressure to grow, while growth stocks use growth rate to justify their extreme PE ratios, and so might seek it more.
Look, I'm not gonna say that it's super-duper legal to do what you are saying.

But (in SF at least) walking by Civic Center BART on Market Street, in broad daylight, you can gawk at least 10 homeless people per hour shooting up black tar heroin directly across from about five or more uniformed SFPD officers and then witness no arrests for such flagrant behavior [0]. Hell, if you've not seen a homeless person shit in the middle of the street on a Tuesday, you need to get out more.

Like, Bird/Lime/whatever may be sending out these notices to Cory Doctorow's blogosphere Zeppelins [1], but ain't no cop in SF (and likely in nearly every other city in the US) is EVER going to prosecute you for making a cheapo scooter into a vase for growing your weeds in. Like every single other person that isn't on the books at these scoot companies (and ~90% of the people in them anyway), all members of the legal system have better things to worry about.

This is, of course, highly anecdotal, but my extended network setup with 1 Airport Extreme (wired) and 3 Airport Express (wireless) consistently broke every few weeks or so with one Airport Express refusing to see the rest of the network it was supposed to extend. And it was always a different Express, so couldn't be pinned to a hardware issue or location in the house. Apple support on this issue is relegated to an article on the Web site or some forum threads https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5763681, as debugging it in an Apple Store makes little sense, considering the network setup would run smoothly for days.

One thing that was unclear to me is how long the Airport Utility app was going to remain in the App Store and stay maintained to support the latest revisions of iOS, Android, and respective app store policies. The upgrade path for firmware in case of a security vulnerability is also unknown - something that I'd be okay on some other devices, but not the main home router.

Roaming charges inside of the EU were eliminated in 2017, so a single prepaid SIM (readily available for a few dollars) would do him well inside of the EU. Make sure that he has a phone that's not vendor locked. That doesn't include Switzerland, and may not include the UK by the summer, but the SIM will still work there, just with additional charges (which are usually fairly reasonable).
In the general sense, which is the sense I meant it, it's obvious. When you tax 100% and 0%, then your tax revenue goes to zero. When you tax 99% and 1%, they're a bit more than zero, but not by much. At some equilibrium, you maximize tax revenue. If the current tax is above that equilibrium, then logically you will increase tax revenue by lowering the tax rate. AKA the Laffer Curve.
No, because then many more people would go after them for various other torts, including trespass, property damage, etc. It's not a can of worms they want to open up.
Not sure. I know one corner of my parent's land in Montana has a physical marker. Maybe because it's a joint boundary between state, federal and private land. It is also really hard to find, as it's in the bottom of a ravine in heavy brush and it's a ground level bronze (I think) spike like an oversized nail hammered into the ground. You really have to know where the boundary is within a few feet already to have even the slightest hope of finding it.

I found it once as a teen, but 2 decades later, I'd be hard pressed to find it.
I'm not sure it's appropriate to comment on someone's progress through recovery, but I haven't been a part of that movement so I don't know. I get the feeling that whether early or late, it's always one day at a time.
