Please pick your words with a little less irony next time. Also bear in mind that just because something isn't positive, that doesn't mean it's a negative worth silencing. An opinion is an opinion, and people are allowed to express them. GP didn't do so in a way that demeans anybody, but you did.
Trying to keep the drugs out is clearly not working though. Someone who wants the drugs will always find a way to get access to them. Even in prisons people manage to get to drugs. If we can't even keep them out of an environment that's as controlled as a prison... Meanwhile lots of harm comes from unreliable quality of drugs. This is something that a regulated market is well suited to address.

In addition, it seems like drugs are frequently more of a symptom than the root cause of problems. Happy people with a fulfilled life rarely OD.

You also talked about your cousin. About some made up homeless people living in cars that you gave no reference for. You then cherry picked a few cost numbers on costs for schools with no source or context for those numbers. Are those costs out of line with other schools in the state? You don't say.

Also, you completely ignored the fact that public school attendence is compulsory, and that children literally have no say in where their parents choose to take them. So you're basically advocating that immigrants come here and break the law to save a hypothetical amount of tax money you claim CA can't afford. All to basically punish the children of immigrants and refugees that have no say or control over any of this.

Also, what's the alternative? A bunch of sick kids getting no health care and getting their peers sick, some of whom are undoubtedly Americans. Your points don't make any sense and you have to make up alot of nonsense to try and make it look sensible. But clearly people who disagree with you are the ones who have a lack in "critical thinking". SMH.
I have KaiOS on a Nokia phone that I intended to use for email and 4g hotspot. I didn't expect much but it literally a POS, super slow, impossible to customize (i.e. hotspot quick launch), and no apps in the marketplace. It would be more usable with a pre symbian OS in my opinion. People that rave about KaiOS I figure are like that those that endless recommend SICP or 'Clean Code' as the book of gods and probably never read it.

I enjoyed this article because it provided a level-headed and analytical critique of a topic that is mired in politically charged emotion.

For example, sections 2.1 and 2.2 resonated with me because, as a mathematician, because I can plainly see how the algebraic structure chosen by Rothbard for representing utility is going to severely impact the reasonableness of his models.

There are several other compelling examples, where anyone who has done a bit of mathematical modeling can see that the neoclassical school of thought is simply providing better tools for achieving the desired outcomes.
I would strongly suggest finding one. I have worked as a contractor for several startups building MVPs. A common theme I saw was 2 marketing/sales guys getting taken advantage of by unscrupulous/unqualified offshore outsourcing firms. They burned a lot of money and then hired my company to start over and do it right. A technical cofounder would either be able to build much of the product or when hiring should be able to spot these missteps early on.

"(...)Mises alone, and perhaps Rothbard, who stumbled upon Operationalism in economics, but instead of comprehending that a truthful proposition must be BOTH externally correspondent, and existentially possible to construct via a series of rationally testable operations, attempted to somehow conflate Jewish Law, and Mathematical Logic and instead, created the pseudoscience of ‘praxeology’ under which they claim all economics must be produced by a sequence of operations.

This left Mises respected but a laughing stock without a position. Unfortunately he did not understand what he had stumbled upon, and he could have reformed economics. But he failed. He failed because he was committed to his dogma, and committed to his error."

Sorry to be pessimistic but if you're complaining about the fact that a Samsung device has preloaded spyware from the world's second largest advertising company perhaps replacing it with a phone with in-built spyware from the world's largest advertising company is not the best step.

Would such a program be necessary? I stopped taking LSD and psilocybin because of the negative effects it had on me. No program required.
there are many strong ideas out there yet people lack the courage to do them or lack someone to help them. That is natural what you are in, i've had the same feeling when I got the idea to help people listen to podcasts from blog articles (websitevoice.com) as I am a developer myself it has not been difficult for me to get help from good people who loved the idea. So my first thing to do is probably talk about your idea to people who you think they can listen to you and sharing is caring. I've been contacted from people here in HN about if my new business needs support for design, marketing, the beginning is difficult. Never give up a great idea you have, because if you do not do it someone else will later do it!

i think too many people get away with being mean under the guise of being critical when there's actually no value to their criticism (since as i pointed out the particular criticism of use value of this tool was already anticipated by the author). i think it's valuable to point out that these people are simply being mean so that someone that suspects that's the case doesn't doubt themselves.

>Also bear in mind that just because something isn't positive, that doesn't mean it's a negative worth silencing. An opinion is an opinion, and people are allowed to express them

there are many things we're not allowed to express on hn (jokes and etc. for example). GP didn't contribute anything to any discussion. so while some negative claims are valuable ("x thing doesn't have y feature") and shouldn't be dismissed purely because they're not positive GP's is not and should be pruned so as to prevent having threads turn into "negative feedback loops" (note the double quotes and the colloquial use of "negative feedback loop").

Low risk recommendations on managing $2-3M early investment to generate returns?
In the past we've used term deposits with banks. Keep a portion of your funding in a trading account and some in a business saver. Then the rest with staggered maturities (2 mth, 4 mth, 12 mth etc), spreading it across a number of banks. Each time you have one mature you can reinvest what you don’t need immediately into a new term deposit. Just keep in mind that it can be difficult to break a term deposit (get your money back before the maturity date), so I wouldn’t invest out too far and do your research. If done well you can get between 2 and 3%. We have found this is low risk and very accessible.

It would be great to learn if anyone has trialed other options and then learn how funding gets managed with more sophisticated rounds through Series B,C,D etc?

Are there managed funds for start ups? Could be an idea :)

Should we avoid wasting our energy on this?

Any advice or feedback would be appreciated. Ryan
That is an ancillary "benefit". The main purpose of animal cruelty laws is the obvious one: it's inhumane to hurt/torture/kill animals (depending on your jurisdiction).
I use Darn Tough socks, which have a lifetime warranty and seem to be doing pretty well after a year and a half. I also haven't purchased underwear in years, and I honestly can't remember when that was.

I usually have 5-10 sets of underwear and socks, and then I don't need any more. A subscription service just isn't useful at all. In fact, when I buy new socks/underwear, I typically do so in bulk (getting lots of the same kind don't matter at all), so a subscription model makes even less sense.
> You can decriminalize possession of small quantities but still make the drug's production and distribution illegal.

sure, this at least makes it possible for drug users to seek help without fearing legal repercussions, but it doesn't do much to stop people from overdosing due to inconsistent purity and nasty cuts (eg, fentanyl and friends). it does nothing to stop the killings in source countries and poor communities where drugs are sold.

We can effectively calculate all of the rationals to arbitrary precision, but we can't do that with all of the reals. Most of the reals have no effective procedure to calculate their decimal expansion.
I agree, I like that they offer a paid option. I just also understand why they're not eliminating the ad supported version.
Wow, sounds pretty amazing. Did you share any of those use-cases in any form? (github repo, blog?). I'd love to learn more. Was just thinking of replacing hubot/slack for a better platform for writing some reactive scripts (anything that listens to webhooks, slack messages, cron jobs and does something simple). I did some of that with AWS Lambda, but it feels a bit "disconnected" with no real overview. Hubot feels similar, it's just a bunch of scripts that need deploying etc.

I’m someone who prefers Yelp to Google Reviews. 4, 4.5 and 5 star yelp rating is as good as an objective top rating for me - and the volume of reviews seems to be higher on Yelp as well.

I find Google ratings are inflated as well. I’ve commonly seen restaurants that is 3 stars on Yelp have 4.5 stars on Google. A 4.5 Yelp restaurant (in SF) at least almost always means there is a line or a reservation. 4.5 stars on Google almost always means “they won’t poison you here”
This happens already. A few podcasts I support via Patreon have ad-free feeds that they supply to patrons as unique URLs for the RSS feeds. Presumably they can cut you off if they find that you then rebroadcast or share those URLs broadly.

The Economist also does this - if you have a digital subscription you get a private/unique URL with an RSS feed serving the complete audio edition. If you cancel the subscription the feed stops working.

I skimmed some of these links. The main argument appears to be that the sanctions created economic hardship, and that in turns caused suffering and death.

That's a natural result of any sanctions. You may decide to oppose any sanctions to avoid this result, but when the alternative is violent military, there's a good argument to why this is the lesser evil.

Ripple beats Powerball
A few years ago the City of Vancouver made a few small changes to its liquor rules to allow breweries to have "tasting lounges" where one could consume an unlimited amount of beer (ie. a bar) instead of a limited amount of 'tasters'. This tipped the scales to make a brewery a dramatically more viable business model and the amount of breweries in the city has exploded. In the quasi-industrial/residential neighbourhood of Mount Pleasant alone there are seven, while in the other industrial/residential area across town there are ten more.

The amount of growth has been astonishing, with more and more municipalities in the broader metro area following the City of Vancouver's lead and incentivizing brewery growth.

Accordingly local beer now dominates. Whereas a decade ago you had major national brands as the common choice with craft imports from Portland and Seattle as a special treat at specialty stores, now there's so much good local stuff that there's barely any room for the good Portland and Seattle options.

I see no downside to this shift from major corporate beer to smaller, local craft fare. The small local companies employ more people, the quality is dramatically better, and the money stays in the local area.

My expectation going forward is similarly to how it is not unusual at all for a town to have several mom n' pop restaurants, every town with have several mom n' pop locally serving breweries too.

> GP didn't contribute anything to any discussion.

I believe I did and was not attempting to be mean. You are being mean in assuming that I was trying to be mean, so nanner nanner.

My non-mean point is that to me geekness is the opposite of pretending and pretension. It means being reality adjacent to the point of social opprobrium. Maybe that definition is too idiosyncratic for you. But consider that if it is true, that sentence is self contradictory.

Does a discussion about what it means to be a geek add nothing? It seems to me that this terminal is an art project worthy of inspiring such a question.

Sure, but you're not going to do that, so the best thing you can possibly do is alter your lifestyle and do your best to help others do the same. Pointing your finger at someone else and crying "but he's worse than I am, so why should I change?" isn't a very convincing argument for doing nothing.

Before (approximately) my sophomore year in college, having a tricked-out, signal-noise-ratio-be-damned setup would have seemed like the pinnacle of geekiness to me.

Once I tired of the bling and the low SNR, but still felt a strong need to prove myself and make my mark in the world, I'd be proud to have the ultimate tweaked-for-results environment.
