It's not exactly a pyramid scheme, however it's not going to be obvious to students who have a favourite instructor the influence - potential authority and trust - that instructor has with their student. Planting the seed that "they'd be a good instructor" by the instructor should be followed next by understanding the business economics of the yoga market - something that is taught during a teacher training. You should approach doing a teacher training in that it is time to deepen your yoga practice, to be immersed in it. I am sure many places who are incentivized to get you into their teacher training are going to downplay through a lack of acknowledgment of the competition that exists for instructing.
Agreed, which is why I always look to see stories about solid state lithium batteries. The documentary I saw on them made them look ready for use.

Sure. Just that the "we" cannot be one of the nations that did this before, as is the case here. That's hypocrisy and entitlement.

This changes over time. In my 20s and 30s alcohol was mainly a social lubricant in my circles. Now what I see in my 40s is most of my peers have a drink or two at night after a day of work, the kids are asleep, the dishes are done, etc... to have a little bit of ease at the end of the night. It’s a little reward for getting through the day intact and a chance for a sliver of unwind time.
Modern hard disks achieve higher density through less challenging mechanical requirements: they are sealed, in some cases filled with helium, platters can be very thick and very stiff, heads can be fixed instead of being lowered towards the disk when it is inserted, and for these and other reasons heads can get much closer to the platters and achieve miniaturization levels that are not possible with removable media.

The card is probably a good idea. No fee, simplicity, and convenience are good for the consumer. Only selling to Apple product users means a certain band of wealth and thereby lower default rates are implicitly targeted. It’s a good deal for both, especially for consumers who wouldn’t normally spend enough to earn something noteworthy or even positive against the card fee on better cards. News is also a pretty good deal if you like news... but yes, both are really boring. It seems like something interesting to apple investors, but not consumers.

The games platform sounds both boring AND unlikely to do well
This has nothing to do with yoga. It's shameful that people can borrow the term 'yoga' and market it as some miraculous fitness program. A lot of the people who do this would never have the guts to admit their money-based intentions.

But, seeing as how this is already flagged, it doesn't warrant a longer response.
Compliance is making sure they signed the right documents (W-8EBN for remote workers) and that they provided their real address. (It differs a lot depending on the state/country).

A natural question I've pondered from time to time is whether Fabrice Bellard is really a time traveler from a more advanced civilization in the future, sent back in time to show us, mere mortals, what humankind will be capable of in the future.

If this sounds far-fetched, consider that he has created FFMPEG, QEMU, LibBF, SoftFP, BPG, TinyEMU, a software implementation of 4G/LTE, a PC emulator in Javascript, the TCC compiler, TinyGL, LZEXE, and a tiny program for computing the biggest known prime number.

And that's just a partial list of his successful projects, which now of course also include software for more efficient lossless compression with deep LSTM and Transformer neural networks.

Any of these projects, on its own, would be considered a notable achievement for an ordinary human being.

Fabrice Bellard deserves some kind of superhuman lifetime achievement award.

Maybe, but I think existing literature has solved this by using qualifying adjectives like "Anarcho-" and "State" and "Mixed". It might be easier to lean on those.

I think it's pretty important to make these distinctions because it helps us rise above the level of modern discourse that instantly maps political opposition to, you know, any given Nazi principle. Folks looking to destroy debate and scholarship to make their point hate being required to take concrete positions, because the hallmark of bad faith arguments is changing positions quickly without being noticed to avoid every having to directly challenge a factual argument.

The answer is simple. The US set the precedence for a Military Industrial Complex without any consequence. And now US doesn’t like that India did something in self-defense of an aggressive China and her terrorist sponsoring friend Pakistan.

Ask HN: How do you handle invoices and purchase orders?
For my small business I have searched high and low for a way to simplify purchase orders and invoices. After a few years I am at whits end here, and hoping HN can lend some insight.

On one hand we have numerous solutions for direct purchasing such as Stripe, Gumroad, etc. These are fully automated and a breeze working well for B2C transactions.

On the other hand other enterprises and government institutions skip right over that automation and typically reach out by email requesting purchase orders with invoicing. Requests like "Net-45" are common. It seems that for accrual-method accounting purposes it is extremely painful for them to just use the digital purchase form and enter a credit card.

Running a ramen-profitable small business though, it is hard to justify devoting a full time employee to this problem. In this world of small startups, has anyone found a way to automate thes B2B transactions -- even partially?

A side note: I occasionally work with software resellers, and find that even they want to do everything manually on both ends of the sale. If they would simply use the digital payment form on my end to abstract the manual work for me, I would happily grant a major discount -- and yet that is not how it goes. Manual emails to both their client and to my sales contact are the norm! Resellers seem uniquely poised to deal with this difficulty (and deserve a discount) and yet they do not take it up! Is there a good reason to keep everything manual like this? Help!

> That might be what you’re trying to do, but it isn’t what many conservatives are trying to do. Depending on the their type of conservatism, many consider the needs of the family, the community, and the nation to be of more importance that the wishes of the individual.

This is a very hand-wavey thing to say, that (as you say) quite obviously doesn't map perfectly to everyone who identifies as "conservative" and does apply to a lot of people who identify as "liberal". Gun control is one issue that comes to mind.

I touched before on the orthogonality of the progressive/conservative and liberal/illiberal axes, I think, so I won't go into it again.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism

> You appear to be saying conservatives are fine so long as they aren’t actually conservatives and are, in fact, liberals with slight conservative leanings.

I think that's an incredibly reductive and inaccurate summary of what I said, unless the word "conservatism" has been redefined to mean "illiberalism", to make the latter more palatable.

Oh wait, yes, that is exactly what has happened.

In fairness to conservative thinkers, I will not be going along with this redefinition, and I will continue to call out illiberalism for what it really is.

Ask HN: Launching a Product on Show HN?
I'm considering using Show HN as a way to launch a SaaS product I have, but I'm unsure if that's the best strategy. The first reason is I don't have a free tier, so I will need to make another way specially for HNers to have a play with it. The second reason is my market is not really developers, so I might be better off on Product Hunt. Also I don't want to misinterpret disinterest / derision from HN as doom for my product.

It will because it has been used to do just that.

It's not like humans have had difficulty committing genocide in the past without DNA databases. The Rwandan genocide, for example, was done primarily with machetes and coordinated by radio. Similarly the rest of your hypothetical situations can be done without DNA testing if society wished to act in that manner. I don't see much weight in your scenarios at least compared with actual murderers and rapists going to jail.

Sadly solid state is not currently ready on a large scale. There is still significant work to be done in large part to use a solid state electrolyte.
A scenario where one person is getting secret sales kickbacks by and selling pipe dreams from a large corporation to unsuspecting "friends" doesn't sound out of the ordinary under capitalism as we know it. That's not an argument that any other economic system would be better, however.

If marketing less was conducive to business success, you'd think there would be less marketing occuring every year overall, but that's clearly not the case. What does seem conducive to success is marketing less blatantly, where the definition of "blatant marketing" is constantly evolving as consumers wise up to the latest manipulation techniques.

> The thing I love about Go is its fundamental clarity. It's very upfront and literal. I find it easy to understand what is happening in any particular bit of code.

When reading Go codebase I'm not familiar with, I'm very often having a hard time figuring which interfaces go with which structs. As in "Oh, this function accepts interface Foo, which is implemented by which structures?" and then I have go on a adventure throughout the codebase to figure out what structures go in there. Really annoying.

In a language whose intention is to be explicit and easy to read (as opposed to write) I can't understand for the life of me why the authors chose to make interface implementations implicit. It seems like a decision that pretty much only has downsides and which is contrary to the overall aim. I just don't get it.
I will be waiting until I can analyze my DNA myself, without handing it over to a company that is going to do whatever it wants to with it. We are not yet able to fully appreciate how valuable DNA is, and yet everyone seems delighted to pay companies to take it from them.

Perhaps they will be less delighted when they are convicted of a crime based off of a false positive, have their DNA shared with Facebook to Improve Their User Experience ™, or have their DNA made public after yet another security breach where it is left on an unsecured server.

Remember that your DNA is very valuable, literally. Those who have noticed recent progress in genomics should realize how valuable it would be to a competent advertising company, allowing them to profile and predict users with significantly higher personal accuracy, even if all they are doing is performing basic GWASs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genome-wide_association_study).

Current lithium-ion technology in the pipeline will probably get us to 400watt hours/kilogram and $50-100 / Kwh. Just having that would give us 700 mile range electric cars. And if the glass substrate stuff dr. Goodenough is doing pans out we could see charge speeds 10x faster. So like 300 miles of range in the time it takes to pee.
Blind idealism/pacifism will wipe out countries/races/societies.

India didn't choose it's neighbors, but it is what it is. On one side is a country whose identity is defined by anti-India-nism. On the other side is China, need I say more.
Moreover, both these neighbors are ganged up by their mutual animosity of India.

India doesn't have any options but to make sure there are deterrents in place. It's a necessity.
Seems much more complicated compared to:

How are others here managing their dotfiles?
I also wanted to make this note about the application matters. Lithium ion are great, especially for electronics and EVs. They are pretty good for grid scale, but we need other technologies there. Currently the largest source of storage on the grid is pumped hydro (about 95% of storage on the grid) and it will continue to be the largest source of storage for a long time.
I agree this should not be turned on by default, but FYI if you mute it, that's sticky as long as you're not clearing cookies.

I've started to wonder if designing things to last is truly the best option. Sometimes well built things out live their usefulness and then you have this well built paper weight. Braun razors are a good example. I have one that still works, but I stopped using it after several years. No one wants a used razor, so what happens to it? I think we need to stop trying to make things a permanent as we can and start thinking more about sustainability.
That’s quite interesting, actually. I presume a rechargeable zinc-manganese battery would be less of a fire risk than lithium-ion.

"Dangers: Individuals may be crushed by a falling anvil. The black powder can also prematurely ignite when the top anvil is placed. As in any case where an explosive is confined on all sides by metal, shrapnel presents a hazard. If a damaged or structurally weak anvil is used, the anvil base may shatter upon ignition."
I agree regarding the original MBP and MacBooks. RAM and batteries were easily replaceable. The keyboard, hard disk and several other components were replaceable with a little bit of effort.

I don’t believe any of that is true of Apples current lineup.

I’ve come to accept in a pretty short time that when it comes to subject matter experts in narrow fields, especially in IT and mathematics, this site has a lot to offer. Where almost everything else is concerned it’s just Reddit with more passive aggression.
