> The reason why "Stripe, Inc." is interesting is because it disproves the whole claim that users can trust the business name displayed, because they can't.

The only people who made this claim, did it so they could attack it.

The only claim of the EV system is that the display name matches a real legal entity, which is not the same thing as being consumer-recognizable.

The intent with EV was that the presence of its UI element--regardless of what it said--would confer trust. The idea does not rely on users recognizing the company name any more than trust in physical stores relies on users memorizing street addresses.

The concept is that a legit company would opt to tie its online presence back to its legal entity (via an EV cert), but a scam would not because doing so would take more effort and make it harder to escape.

Again: this is analogous to the effort that it takes to set up a physical store. You can buy things off the back of a truck, but everyone knows that is sketchy. You don't know where that stuff came from, and you have no recourse once the truck drives away.

Setting up a store is a lot harder than driving up a truck--a company has to establish a legal presence in the jurisdiction, sign a lease, get a business license, comply with all sorts of regulations, pay taxes, etc. But they go through that effort because doing so confers trust. It is this system that is behind the social convention that it's ok to walk into a new store and hand them your credit card to buy something.

The goal of EV, of the CA system in general, was to try to create a similar set of trust signifiers and conventions online.
This is a very hostile comment that also does not contribute much to the discussion. The person you are responding to was making the case that in countries outside the traditional view of these media outlets, the alternative breeds are doing fine. That's a case worth making, because it counters the almost propagandist view of the world you will get from your couch reading western media outlets.

If you have a quality rebuttal of this point that would be a second issue, but comparing this human being who took the time to respond to you with a logically consistent argument an anti-vaxxer just because you can't see it right now is not healthy discourse.

Ask HN: What Did Steve Ballmer and Donald Sterling Meant by $2B in Cash
From the article https://www.latimes.com/sports/soccer/story/2019-08-10/us-womens-soccer-nwsl-investment

Quote from article:
“At one point, Donald tells Steve Ballmer, ‘I’m curious about one thing,’ ” Samini recalls. “Ballmer said, ‘Of course, what’s the question?’ Donald looks at him and says, ‘You really have $2 billion?’ We all started cracking up, and Ballmer said, ‘Yes.’ Donald said, ‘You have $2 billion in cash?’ And Ballmer said, ‘Don’t worry, I have the money. I can call the bankers and they can verify the funds.’ Sterling starts laughing and he looks at him and goes, ‘That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard in my life.’ Ballmer looks at him and says, ‘What do you mean?’ and Sterling says, ‘Why would anyone have $2 billion in cash? You should invest the money or pay off your debt. You’d be stupid to have that kind of cash.’ ”

Edit: Clarification, I'm sure they didn't mean $2 Billion in actual cold hard cash in a vault somewhere. But Sterling made it sound it's like that.
No, I wasn't, thanks for the information. FWIW, I wasn't suggesting an election within the existing system, where formal requirements like the oath-taking ceremony matter, but rather an improvised referendum with no such restrictions. On a purely legal basis, the government would be free to ignore the results, but in practice that might not be so easy. Since voting requires less effort than participating in a protest march, turnout is more likely to reach a majority of the population.
Nothing special to see from an European point of view...

Hey, something is wrong with your interpreter or your transpiler if you need to wrap every `async` function in a `return new Promise`. If you mark a function as `async` it will do it automatically - in fact, if you look at e.g. `nodent`'s output, it's exactly how it does it. Calling the `resolve` function instead a `then` callback like that is a mess, and totally not needed. Also, the `return` is not necessary, every function has an implicit `undefined` return if not explicitly stated.

Moreover, in async functions you can take advantage of regular `try`/`catch` when awaiting; it seems you're just swallowing errors in your functions, which I guess is fine for the code you're showing. But keep in mind that a better practice is to let those function throw and catch it with a try/catch at the callsite.

Lastly, when calling the functions to save and send the email, you can use `Promise.all` and parallelize them instead of running them serially, as they don't seem to depend on each other. If you're meaning to send the email only after it is saved, then you need to check the return value of the saving before that; because neither of the calls will ever fail; just return undefined.
Revolutions don't change the system. All they do is replace one set of people running the system, with another. May be, put on a new set of clothes on the way. Pick any revolution in history and you'll observe this.

Bugs in the build system are just bugs, quite possibly security bugs but still set in stone.

> If it were “gotten” by the masses via Disney shows, we’d all stop chasing it at all.

This is such a common thing to think, but why, where is it based on? Why would you think that most people are still "chasing it" disproportionately?

If you become enligthened (for the sake of simplicity, let's equate enlightenment with realization that material wealth is not the source of happiness and not the meaning of life) - if you realize it about wealth, it does not mean that you stop working, that you stop getting money, stop producing value, stop function in society. If you would do that you would just sit somethere in the forest and do nothing all day, which is not the meaning of life either.

Instead you see material wealth for what it is - only a piece of the puzzle, not something that your happiness is directly conected to, but somethint that still makes sense to get in a small amount so that you provide your life with basic necessities for you and your family, and so that you can dedicate the rest of the time to self-development, spiritual growth, freedom etc. It doesn't mean that you disconnect from the society completely - that's not what happiness is about. Happiness is about balance, and seing things for what they are. Seing wealth as a tool, not as a source of happiness.

And there are a lot of people who already live like that! Sure there is a small amount that strives for wealth for the sake of wealth and kill their health in the pursuit of career success, but the rest are just living their lives.

So yes absolutely there are a lot of people who get (in terms of integrating into their life, and not just hearing them as a distant logical idea) these concepts that come up in disney movies.
You are making a case that is worth making and valuable, however:

> We know what chemical structures are deeply harmful to the body and what are digestible

Implying that nutrition is by and large a solved problem instead of a hugely moving target that is upended every ten years for knowledge of a completely different direction is very incorrect and harms the rest of that you are saying by proximity. Nutrition is not solved. We know what things will kill you for sure (and generally how fast), but things that kill you very slowly or that might very subtly be good for you are hard to measure and therefore not well documented.

Find a way to get Verizon to sign off on this, and then get in touch with an established documentary maker. Pair them with an engineer and follow the story of the migration efforts. It will take time, and it'll certainly have a narrative.

One thing to note is that it's not all doom and gloom. Unless aiming for a full VR positional audio experience like Valve is doing here, an audio playback system (headphones, speakers, etc) doesn't have to compensate for all of the various nuances of human hearing. After all, sounds "in real life" don't do that.

All an audio playback system needs to do is reproduce the original sound accurately, perhaps with some Fletcher-Munson compensation to enhance bass at low listening volumes.

(Interestingly, this sort of feature was present on home stereos for several decades. The poorly-named "loudness" knob increased bass so you could enjoy satisfying bass without increasing the overall system volume...)

We don't look for OCaml/Ada developers, we hire programmers, and they program OCaml and Ada. It's not a big deal for a good programmer to learn a language, especially while programming side by side with seasoned programmers.

And actually, let's revisit the prosecution vs. defense analogy.

The skeptic is really more in the position of the prosecution. The fans are really more in the position of the defense.

The skeptic is basically saying the fans have committed a crime against truth. They are saying that the fans have something to DEFEND. (Hence, the fans are the defendants.)

And the skeptics claim is much easier to prove. It is far easier for the prosecution to prove that a crime has been committed (if it has been committed), than it is for the defense to prove that a crime wasn't committed (assuming no crime was committed).

The skeptics in this position SHOULD have the easier case to prove, which is why the burden should be on them.

Like I've repeated endlessly, and I even furnished the main competitors, if there are websites that are clearly better than Examine, that should be pretty easy to show.

Literally no human on the planet is capable of proving that Examine is better than every single competitor, though. There are thousands of other supplement websites.

You can't support the position that skeptics are allowed to show up everywhere, and voice skepticism of literally everything, and then suddenly that means that people who appreciate things must then be forced to prove things which in some cases are nearly impossible to prove. That is utterly ridiculous.

Skeptics should at least participate a little bit, if they actually give a shit.
The article seems to suggest gains going to the top only.

Here's a list of improvements since the 1930s that all of society, especially in the West, has experienced:

1. Massive increase in average lifespans

2. Lowest per capita crime rate in history

3. 70+ years without a world war, a relatively peaceful geopolitical climate

4. Meteoric literacy rates, and high school completion rates

5. Lowest incidence of per capita death by infectious diseases. Elimination of many deadly diseases, like polio & smallpox

6. Almost 100% penetration of real-time voice and information access for adults

If you only read the hit pieces, you'd be inclined to believe that we live in a time of abject poverty, while the truth is that life in general and equality of opportunity has hit meteoric highs. Which is why the interest has shifted to equality of outcome, which is not something that (in my opinion) can be controlled. completely ignoring causality and simply pointing to shock inducing numbers without full context, makes for fun click bait, but I'd if little actual use.

If true upliftment is to be achieved, we need a more objective lens than the one popular press leads with.

Saying that you don't trust a scientist with only a tenuous grasp (because that is all we have) of what nutrition is or should be (and what things might be harmful over 10-30 years) to make grand and sweeping changes to how an organism works is not feeling over reason. It is a different form of risk-management, one that you might not agree with (and that's fine).

Designers.

End users simply want a functional, working product. Polish on top is a nice added bonus, but these days it's been turned into the focal point of software development. A Teams/Slack-caliber project begins with product requirements, immediately followed by design and UI mocks - the software/tech always comes last.

Have you seen that picture with UI latency for code editors? I can't find the article but it is ridiculous that we have laggy software that uses insane amount of memory and CPU time. If we are serious about easing on the climate change we should start with bloatware that is the majority of the software industry nowadays.
I mean, as harsh as it sounds, manually rescuing a single website (even if you're 99.99% sure there's no black hat involved) is not worth leaving a trail showing a potential compromise of search quality. It is not nice but it kind of has to be this way - that they don't help individual websites.

It looks really cool, but I feel your 'Live' pricing @ $1000/m is highly prohibitive to developers not in the first world. Although I suspect that's not your target market.

How do you make money? - We make money from fees for managing the the real estate fund and properties, currently 1% of AUM (assets under management) and 10% of rent.

What happens to the home at the end of the period? - At the end of the initial lease term, residents have the option to renew their lease, move to a new Arrived home, or move out of the platform. At that point they can either continue contributing to their account or "cash out" and use the funds they've accrued. We haven't built in an option to buy the specific home outright although it's likely an option we'd support.

What happens if the fund doesn't make enough or there's another market downturn? - Good question and we think a lot about downside protection. Typically a fund "not making enough" is based on the fund not being able to pay it's debt service payments. To protect against this and a possible market downturn right now, our fund owns the title to the homes and we aren't taking on debt. So our fund should be resilient through market changes compared to a leveraged fund.

Open source software is not necessarily trying to win a beauty contest, and the number of copies used (or not) doesn't often mean extra income for the programmer. As long as the software is effective and does what its users want it to do, who cares if it may be ugly.

If it really upsets you, then spend the time and effort to improve it yourself.

It's even so to a point that it is funny that they use this word in such an argument.
