Um no, you deposit all your bitcoin into Coinbase's bitcoin wallet so there's no crypto enforcement that you own the bitcoin anymore. That's the only way Coinbase can safely use your bitcoin on their lightning network connections.

They need to commit regular bitcoin into a lightning network channel on the main blockchain before they can spend it.

Mass transit in most places doesn’t come out ahead even accounting for externalities. The average passenger vehicle emits 0.91 pounds of CO2 per mile. Many estimates of CO2 price it at $30/ton. At that rate, the CO2 externality from driving is 1.4 cents per mile. The cost of CO2 recapture puts a cap on the cost of CO2, and currently it’s $100-$230 per ton. At that price, we are looking at $0.10 per mile.

Typical subsidies for transit are in the $0.50+ per passenger mile range for rail, and $0.80 for bus: https://opportunityurbanism.org/2019/09/transport-costs-and-... (scroll down to the graph).

If two applicants were the same except that candidate A committed a minor crime 20 years ago, it is rational for me to prefer candidate B. If A is better than B in some other way, for example having more relevant experience, I may decide that the extra experience outweighs the long-ago crime. But why do politicians assume I cannot make rational decisions and that they must decide for me what criteria for applicants are important? At the margin, removing a penalty for crime will result in more crime.
Except all of these things have the same critical flaw; they all depend on advertisements to pay the bills. To get advertisers, they need engaged audiences. To get engaged audiences, they need various social mechanics to drive engagement to an artificially high rate than their service would otherwise have. They also are then incentivized to police content in ways that make the medium more appealing to advertisers. Then eventually people get sick of it, and a new upstart shows up offering a better experience with less advertising. And people move on, until the same factors cause the same cancers to grow in the new one, which eventually cause it's own demise.

Ironically, by banning advertisement, you would eliminate one of the biggest drivers of change in social networks that cause them to die. Not all of them, of course, but one of the biggest by far. In a strange twist, you might well save the social network from succumbing to the cancer it's leadership always inflicts upon it.

The qualities that make a social network useful for the purpose of allowing social networking are almost completely at odds with the qualities that make it attractive to advertisers, almost to a comical degree:

* Privacy controls and default-enabled secure settings hide information from advertisers

* Securing people's social circles from advertisers reduces their ability to target

* Protecting people's photos from being co-opted for use in apps or scanned for auto-tagging reduces reach

* Policing outrageous, clickbait, or controversial content reduces the main clients social networks have for paid promotion

Basically, the ideal social network would either charge a base subscription fee and provide an ad-free experience, or would be free, and be entirely subsidized by the Government. I cannot envision a private company willing to provide a user-centered experience that would be a net good for the userbase, because everything the users want and need conflicts with what the network would want to sell to advertisers.

Apple already has it’s own, pretty good, password management.
I see your trend, but you have missed the answer that is common to all those examples. I have been talking about decentralization before it was cool. Since at least 2011. I want decentralized power generation via solar panels, I want mesh networks to be widely adopted etc. Those networks already exist.

Here is the answer: SOFTWARE. We have amazing hardware - phones, tablets, routers, computers. There is no good software to run on those things.

Facebook, Google, YouTube - why are they so popular?

It’s the software stupid :) (it’s an expression, not calling you stupid).

Facebook has better social networking capabilities with real time chat, videoconference calls etc. than Wordpress or PHPBB. That said, Wordpress powers 30% of the Web. But most of the Web is kinda static, not dynamic like Facebook / Slack / Telegram which took MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO DEVELOP.

Now, if I ask you, with your amazing hardware, how would you collaborate on a document? Why of course Google Docs or maybe Dropbox etc. WHY? THEY HAVE THE SOFTWARE!

They didn’t give it to you. They have it on their backend servers. Same with YouTube - they do all the transcoding, social networking etc.

Why is github popular? Because you have profiles, ratings etc. The always-on broadband led to an explosion of “software as a service” models, and “the cloud”.

Once upon a time there was AOL, Compuserv and MSN. Steve Case was the Mark Zuckerberg of the day. Then TBL invented the Web Browser which didnt really do much but it let anyone run a web server permissionlessly and HTTP was an open protocol. Fast forward 10 years and aol is just a website. Everyone left the walled garden, starting with the brands. Why have AOL KEYWORD FACEBOOK when you have FACEBOOK.COM. The Web is what in fact allowed facebook, google and amazon to even exist. AOL would have never given them permission!!!!

So today you had those sites and they have the software of Web 2.0 or 3.0 or whatever. Which open software could disrupt all this? SOCIAL NETWORKING AND COLLABORATION. Web 3.0. Meaning user accounts, profiles, realtime updates, notifications, videoconferencing and maybe payments.

My company built exactly this and more (events, group rides etc.) We are like a more modern Wordpress / Drupal codebase. And we are working on a utility token to monetize the ecosystem

> I think MLMs allow people to buy what they think is a locally owned business that they believe will return dividends to their own community.

This would be the sane selling point for people who aren't susceptible to cult following. I was tricked into going to one of these meetings and at first I thought this is what it was. I was envisioning a sort of Amazon meets Costco scheme where you can get greater discounts with the more bulk that you buy. That's not keeping money in the community, but at least it's saving money in a community buying pool.

The first speaker at the meeting even got into a small business presentation which had nothing to do with MLM. I thought he did great. Then came the preacher, and everything fell into place. This is some sort of scam.

I would have been fine with the thing if it would have been a group buying thing where you save money AND stuff gets delivered to your door. I never did get far enough to see if there would have been any savings though.

I have been working on a small app, scheduly.app, that lets users send out text message reminders for upcoming appointments. I have been working on it for some time now, and it's been mostly for fun and to actually build out my own thing. It started when I was contacted a few times from doctor's offices regarding an upcoming appointment. So I decided to build something that sends out text notifications.

I know these services exist because I have gotten the alert from other offices, but I decided to build it anyways. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I can think of 1000 use cases for strong anonymity.

These are middle-class, non-criminal things.

This might surprise you, but most people are absolutely terrible when it comes to making complex financial decisions involving multiple variable factors over a period of time.

Well now you're really just projecting. The author's point, made in your quoted paragraph and then again in the following two, was clearly that people who are in difficult situations or neuroatypical may be disruptive to "the norms" a lot of users are used to and how to accommodate that.

I think you would have to intentionally take the most uncharitable interpretation of this article to think the authors point was "these people shouldn't be able to take part".
That idea behind the rules mostly just annoys legitimate users and only curbs an insignificant amount of criminal activity because alternatives exist (and have always existed).

Ask HN: My startup seems to be padding numbers
Startup is a marketplace.

Recently I've noticed healthy growth, hitting and exceeding VC targets. Looked into it.

I'm struggling to find a legitimate explanation. Either, the orders are used to pad our numbers and make us look better, or something to do with the financials of the other business.

What should I do? Could there be a legitimate explanation that I'm not thinking of? Am I wrong to be concerned?

There are other app stores. Apple just doesn't support using them in their OS.

A much better example would be the ability to extend MobileSafari - Apple can and does do this (e.g. readability mode), but nobody else is allowed to (e.g. Instapaper). You can't choose a different default browser on iOS. There's a fine line between "not supported" and "anticompetitive".

Despite Amazon’s algorithms designed to detect fakes, shoppers can type the phrase “YSL dupe” into the site’s search bar and find knockoff handbags with Yves Saint Laurent’s logo, as well as imitations of bags that use the logos and designs of such luxury brands as Louis Vuitton, Fendi and Gucci.

Your comments don't seem dead…
First, what you are doing is taking a net present value of a discounted cash flow, dividing it up into pieces and then population.

You cannot do this.

Say there is a discount rate of 8% and you owe $100 per year for 20 years. That's a NPV of about $980.

Then you say, $980 divided by 20 years is only $49! It's nothing. You just turned an obligation of $100 per year into $49 per year.

See, the pensions, when they say they have a shortfall of X, what they mean is that if they got X today, and invested it with their expected rate of return, in the future they would have what they need to pay out their obligations. They are not saying that their obligations are X when they are added together across time without discounting.

Second, in the case of pension funds, the discount rate is how much they think they can earn with the money. The pension industry has different assumed rates of return, but the most consistent one I've heard is 8%, which in today's world of secular low rates is insane. There is a whole world here of pension funds reaching for yield as risk free instruments drop to very low rates, and this is by far a much bigger impact on pensions than anything else and something not talked about when people cheer low interest rates. This is causing pension funds to be in shortfall all across the world.

There is also the issue that some pension plans contain provisions for health insurance, which is also hard to predict.

So I'm not saying I have the right number, but without knowing their discount rate or future obligations, you are not going to be able to get a good number.
If you are going to care about what your bank is associated with, you might as well pull in banks that fund fossil fuel and weapons.
