Clearly YouTube has been extremely valuable even before they felt the public pressure to penalize "low quality content".

Your comment about an "open marketplace of ideas having no value in itself" is very curious. The very idea of freedom of speech being a good thing is predicated on the idea that an open marketplace of ideas is a good thing. If it isn't, you may as well lobby the government to ban any and all speech which you consider corrosive.

"When men have realized that time has upset many fighting faiths, they may come to believe even more than they believe the very foundations of their own conduct that the ultimate good desired is better reached by free trade in ideas--that the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market, and that truth is the only ground upon which their wishes can be carried out. That, at any rate, is the theory of our Constitution. It is an experiment, as all life is an experiment."

I suspect the tracking in VSCode is mainly used to improve the product. It's probably in my best interest, and the interest of the community as a whole to leave tracking on. I mean, I get it, HN is usually a more skeptical and security-focused crowd. At the same time, it's likely MS will just take that information and tailor their bugfixes and features to the things I need most, so by all means I want them to have it.

Owners actually have fewer rights than average, in the sense that it is residents who vote, and many owners can't even vote in SF. Also, you still only have one vote even if you own 100 units. Yes, owners lobby, but in my opinion residents in general resist change because it will often erase elements they want to see preserved due to the city's historical character. There is no right or wrong in that debate since it is a personal taste/priorities issue. And further crowding affects everyone. Very few will vote for it, as time has shown.
It appears that there is a cycle of seat pitch in the airline industry. Does anyone here remember the enforced increase in seat pitch after the AA accident in Little Rock?

Okay, so instead of letting the employee advance in their career, possibly earn more money because of increased responsibilities or skills, you want to pay them to sit idle? How does that help anyone?

Anyway, isn't that just prohibiting a non compete without compensation for potentially lost income? I mean any law is arguably a prohibition from the right perspective.
If you want to do package managers, your #1 priority should be Nix. Don't do something more popular where you help less, go with the thing that you can really provide the killer missing feature.

Nix + IPFS has been tried before, but what was missing is the Nix-side hierarchical content addressing of large data (not just plans). With the "intensional store" proposal, this should finally happen. Please push it along.

Data shouldn't be hashed like Nix's NARs, or IPFS's UnixFS for maximum interopt. Instead please go with git's model for all it's problems.

Thanks, hope someone can take me up on this because I'm up to my neck with other open source stuff already.
> I firmly believe that prohibiting things is rarely a good idea.

It depends on how you frame the issue. Banning non-competes only prohibits courts from enforcing those terms of the contract. In other words, it removes an element of state coercion.

The rationale for state enforcement of contracts is to promote the operation of free trade. It's become quite clear that in the vast majority of situations, even as between savvy economic agents, non-competes substantially restrain the operation of free markets. They're a net loss. Why use state coercion to such an end?

Given the known facts, rather than add a bunch of exceptions limiting enforcement it's better to reverse the default rule--that is, switch from default enforceable to default unenforceable--and add affirmative exceptions for the particular situations where we know they work well. California has non-competes, they're just limited to a very small set of circumstances.
Just to make sure I'm following you:

R would be a long piece of wire, L would be a coiled piece of wire, and C would be two wires in parallel, for some distance?
...and stipulate that the employee may work for any non-competing entity while still being paid by their old employer. This way the employee can make even more than their original wage, to offset the facts that they aren't being allowed to work in what is likely the job they'd find most fulfilling, and they aren't making as much career progress while working in a different field.

So in your world view, bribery should be absolutely allowed than? You have a piece of land I want, but the law prevents me from stealing it from you and you won't sell. So I grease the hand of the local authorities and get them to take it via eminent domain, pay you some cash for compensation and just take it. I have more capital so its fair... We go to court, but since I have more money I'll just grease the hand of the judge.
And then you also get to deal with DO losing entire clusters of Spaces, for a week+ at a time with no timely status updates. That was great ..

Well, to me these seem like some adolescents trying to be funny and go against the mainstream. They post swastikas and call racial slurs because they know they shouldn't be doing that. They aren't really nazis, right? They don't even know what a nazi is.

You can call this "decentralized reddit" a bad place, as it really is, but you can't say it's because it's "full of right-wing people". These adolescents are not "right-wing people".

Do you include shorts who go out there trashing the name and then wind up wrong? A bunch of tesla shorts have made an industry of being very very vocal.

" talking.

I don't think all shorts do this. I do think a lot of Musk shorts (relatively speaking) do this.

I make more than enough money from a regular 9-5 job to enjoy all of those things. I really don't see any way to justify working 996 without some sort of absurdly high pay, which I doubt those workers are getting. That sounds more like modern slavery.
Don’t Force Web Platforms to Silence Innocent People
Are you aware that the Federal Reserve intentionally sets rates as a function of US economic policy to have a slight scarcity of employment? This is not a conspiracy theory. It is part of the defined terms of the Fed.

With this is mind, workers at the low end of the pay scale will, by result of US policy, never have significant negotiating power.

To me at least, its feels reasonable that if the government is intentionally preventing low wage workers from having a reasonable ability to negotiate, then the government should also provide minimal protections for those workers.

Would you instead prefer that the Federal Reserve be instructed to allow for a scacity of workers, causing significant inflation, in order to give all workers at all levels significant negotiating power?

The situation is intentional. It is either A or B. Either you have workers at the low end with little negotiating power, or you have high inflation.

A best-effort deletion could be beneficial for any node. It reduces storage requirements a bit.

A way to mark something as deleted, in a form of another ipfc object, could serve as soft delete, and also a permission to actually delete hunks of the object marked as deleted.

This, of course, is not secure deletion, and should not be.

In my original idea, C would be twisted pair, but from the theoretical standpoint, that does not matter, so yes.

The idea is that the whole circuit theory is motivated (as is the rest of physics) by ability to describe phenomena that can be practically observed, and should not invent things that only should exists to preserve mathematical purity when such concepts have no real world equivalent nor are useful as simplified model for something.

It's a great example if they want regulation in the industry. Showing how something can threaten powerful men's positions is a great way to get it buried in regulation or downright outlawed.

No it hurts Germany too, just not nearly as much as the rest of the eurozone. The only ones who were helped here were Russia an China from the ECB putting their main rivals in shambles.

Any gains Germany gets from overly tight money are temporary and transient. Running a disastrous monetary policy to indirectly improve Germany's loan terms is an insanely destructive thing to do both to the indebted countries and to the weaker parts of Germany's own economy.

Not allowing people to work and destroying their countries' economies greatly increases the chance these countries are going to default or restructure parts of their debt. This is not to Germany's advantage.

Having neighbors with poor economies is bad for your exports and your own businesses.

In the long run Germany would have had much to gain if people of Europe had functional investment markets and funding was available to buy the tools necessary for people to work and produce instead of strangulated markets.

Having a single currency could have worked (as it works in the US) if it was not managed like they were trying to destroy the west.
I’m willing to bet good money that’s the point of this app.
Worked for me just now FWIW
Why shouldn't that be handled at the application level? Just like with git, if there's content you don't want anymore, you orphan the block hashes in whatever structure the application uses to store and display content; IPFS nodes could still store the abusive comments or media, but nobody would find it unless they were looking for it or randomly fetching blocks.

If the ipfs-based application doesn't have some means (by a group of administrators, or by community consensus) to orphan (de-link) user-contributed content that's abusive, then that app needs to be improved. It doesn't seem like an IPFS-protocol-layer problem.

You could add another layer on top of IPFS, something like IPFS-O (ownership) or IPFS-C (censorship), which used either a separate DHT or a centralized service to allow people to register never-before-seen block hashes by generating a keypair and uploading a signature of the block hash. If the content later needed to be removed, the signature could include contact information, and the signer could be appealed to (or sent a court order) to sign a removal message. It wouldn't really work, though. Nobody would run ipfs nodes paying attention to such a meta-service. And if the service were centralized, there would be grave concern over censorship by whatever entity ran it. And people could abuse the service by registering data blocks that haven't shown up in IPFS yet, claiming ownership when they don't really own it. You'd have to go to the courts to resolve that, the courts could issue an order to a centralized operator, if it's centralized, but again, nobody would run IPFS nodes respecting such a centralized censorship-enabling service, so the whole thing would be futile. And if the censorship service were decentralized, it could be sabotaged by enough libertarian nodes refusing to store or pass along removal messages.

Ask HN: What do you use as your personal CRM?
I am seeking a personal CRM that I can use to keep up with friends, family and business relationships. I just started using Monica (monicahq.com) which covers everything I'm looking for. The glaring deficiency is the lack of any CardDAV syncing for Google Contacts. There is an API but a) there are undocumented required fields that break POSTs and PUTs and b) I don't want to roll my own syncing. I've been mucking with Zapier which can trigger a web hook at a new Google Contact but again, the Monica API is a bit rough.

What do you use as your personal CRM? If you use a few tools, what is your workflow?

I quoted a specific part of what you said for a reason. The only dubious thing they did was get the cap for investment lowered from $1m to $500k. The lower cap does not change the fundamental issue you stated which was paying for citizenship. Merely changes how much they had to pay.

So on that point, buying your way in is not bribery if the legal system allows it. It's merely paying for a service from the government. For example, I pay the government to register my car, to get permits for work I'm doing or get a concealed gun permit. In this case they're paying for citizenship. This is also merely one way to pay for citizenship, little different than the usual "pay $100+k for a US college degree so my child gets OTP and can apply for a H1B."

Don't calculate strings.ToLower() twice and skip over s == "" to avoid the map lookups and some assignments when already tombstoned and you'll save a lot of time.

seen := make(map[string]bool)
for n, s := range array {
if s == "" {
continue
}
lower := strings.ToLower(s)
if seen[lower] {
array[n] = ""
} else {
seen[lower] = true
}
}
I feel a simpler solution(given many American politicians hatred of worker rights) would simply be that you have to pay any employees bound by non compete clauses for the period of the non compete clause.

And they should be paid for 8-10 hours a day, 7 days a week - the non compete clause prevents them from working for a “competitor” every day of the week.

That will quickly get rid of non competes that aren’t actually necessary for anything other than wage suppression.
HeavyBit videos look great! Thanks!
IPFS is a joke. They have name lookup feature but relies on traditional DNS! What are they thinking?

Also, if the IPFS's idea of working as local server is sound, BitTorrent DNA(browser plugin, steaming video over BitTorrent) should had been worked.

It seems to me, they suffered NIH syndrome. They tried to reinvent the wheel. The P2P file transfer protocol over IP has already been covered by BitTorrent. What we need is a nice front end which use BitTorrent protocol as back end and offer a illusion of Web site.
Great points. Helpful guidance. thank you!

The so many articles you read about Steve Jobs and the iPhone.

The media and the public in general give him the credit because he led the team that developed the iPhone.

The first man to walk on the moon. He couldn’t have done it without a whole team of people working before, during and after they landed. Most of the media does not go into detail when they write stories about it.
