> for example, homeless people and very sick people and disabled people can join the conversation

Also people from different cultures and perspectives whose ideas are far more bizarre to the western middle class mind than those the homeless persons in the US he mentions.

But sure, classifying different viewpoints as "obviously" mentally ill and assuming they must be "homeless" or "very sick" is an incredibly useful tactic to a privileged white supremacist such as the article's pseudonymous author. Kudos for that, good job squelching diversity to the OP and the HN mods like dg who will shortly be along to censor all non-privileged opinions, as is their job and solemn duty.
In my experience vouching doesn’t do anything? I can’t reply after I vouch.
Since you are talking about using Redux, you most definitely can dispatch push actions with libs like connected-react-router or just use the history API directly (for things like replacing state instead of pushing). Most of the redirects I write are inside business logic and I don't like mixing <Redirect /> in there, too.

Compare that to the paper's figures, starting on page 2.
Celestial navigation has not been a primary means of navigation at any time since I was on active duty from 1995-2018. It has only recently begun to be taught again at all -- maybe in the last 3-4 years IIRC.

> ride sharing became so economical that bus riders, pedestrians and cyclists changed their behavior to make use of it.

If that is your concern, what explains popularity of Uber in London / Paris, which have excellent public transport as well as massive customer base for that public transport? Clearly, Uber is providing good value there.

So you want to compel me, against my will, to do business with you, with the full force of government. I would take a more libertarian view and say I don’t want to work with tobacco/guns/cannabis/pornography and I think it’s a bad idea for the government to make me.
> There are rumours that ROCm won't ever support this generation of Navi and is waiting on Arcturus[1].

I think you're misinterpreting that bit. Arcturus refers to an upcoming product based on their older, pre-Navi Vega microarchitecture. It seems Vega may be a more compute-oriented microarchitecture while Navi is more graphics/gaming-oriented and thus in the near term they are still developing more compute-oriented products based on the Vega microarchitecture. But that doesn't mean they have no plans to ever bring Navi support to ROCm, it just means that it takes less work and has more short-term payoff to add support for another Vega-based product.
For work I had to connect a portable audio player to a USB audio amp recently. The amp is designed to plug into a regular computer, using standard USB-A at the computer end.

Since the audio player had USB-C we needed a basic USB-C to USB-A adapter.

Being audio only, it was low bandwidth, USB 2.0, no power transfer: we didn't need any fancy features from the cable. Just a plain USB-C to USB-A adapter.

I think we tried five different USB-C to USB-A adapter cables from different vendors before the audio player recognised the amp it was connected to.

It was so tempting to think there was a firmware bug, until we found out it was critically dependent on some mysterious, unknowable quality of the adapter.

I'm surprised paypal ever worked with pornhub because they have always been skitish about pornography. More than a decade ago I was given a Girls Gone Wild dvd and sold it on ebay only to find out that paypal didn't allow my buyer to pay for pornography. (The seller just used paypal to directly send me money that wasn't tied to ebay so it worked out in the end)

Thanks for writing this. It's the first time I've understood a "lightning won't solve scaling problems" argument. If you need a payment processor to process your payments, then you might as well use a payment processor in an existing fiat currency... It's a fair point.
I believe the plan was for it to support USB boot in the future, since they can update the bootloader.

So not yet.
That's pretty interesting. I don't know why they didn't just include a small heatsink, it can't cost more than 25 or 50 cents and it improves the performance significantly by cutting down the thermal throttling.

Weird. When I signed up I had access and could look around. I close it and open it again and now I'm locked out and stuck on a waiting list unless I donate.

I wasn't planning to be locked out so I didn't have the greatest of looks but it seemed much heavier on the news side of thing than the network side of things. Very limited profile, content appears to all come from groups?
I get your point that it isn't currently deemed at risk of being deplatformed - but while there are some differences, Bitfinex are having difficulties with finding people willing to bank with them. So there is precedence there.
The companies that make routers sell their products to us this way, through VARs.
The answer you're looking for is: you get started incrementally. It's definitely possible to get this company started incrementally. It's an exercise in being resourceful.

Yet, that's exactly what this guy did. So either he had some traction going into YC (by being relentlessly resourceful) or this statement is false.
Im not sure how this distinction matters.

But Amazon is calling the other companies partners; they're just asking the other companies not to use that term.

If Amazon was mainly worried that a judge would interpret partner in the legal sense, wouldn't it be more concerned about its own use of the word?
> How many people start their showers several minutes before the are actually ready to step into them?

The norm in Shanghai is that the bathroom contains a small water heater with a tank of water that is kept heated at all times.

The shower then draws simultaneously from the heated water and from the regular supply of cold water. You're not supposed to draw exclusively from the hot water -- if you do, the tank will run out in a few minutes.

When the preheated water runs out, your shower will go cold until you let the water heater refill and recharge.

When I was a Ph.D. student I was surprised that in academia (my field was: quantum information theory) the majority of researchers put zero effort, and thought, in presenting data in a clean and clear way. (As a reaction I devoted a section in my thesis to say what is data vis.)
One my day "but it is for other specialists". Nope, it is not the problem. Of course, every data vis should be tailored for a specific audience. But there is typically zero though put their either. See section 3.1.2 from https://arxiv.org/abs/1412.6796.

From a more recent one ("Simple diagrams of convoluted neural networks", https://medium.com/inbrowserai/simple-diagrams-of-convoluted...):

"[In academic] research, visualization is a mere afterthought (with a few notable exceptions, including the Distill journal, https://distill.pub/).
One may argue that developing new algorithms and tuning hyperparameters are Real Science/Engineering™, while the visual presentation is the domain of art and has no value. I couldn’t disagree more!
Sure, for computers running a program it does not matter if your code is without indentations and has obscurely named variables. But for people — it does. Academic papers are not a means of discovery — they are a means of communication."
I couldn't disagree more. This is not what a documentation should be like.

Unnecessary animations, fixed scrolling, and just useless "snazzy" aspects of user interface has no place in code documentation.

I hope this does not become the standard.

The city of Hong Kong is not suitable for those type of tactics nor are those tactics useful for waging asymmetric warfare. Insurgencies fought with guerrilla tactics relay on harassment, defense positions, and movement. The city of Hong Kong is perfect for this.

Artillery is useless in an urban environment for what I hope are obvious reasons. Tanks have little to no room to maneuver or support troops either. An insurgency would use narrow streets and buildings to their advantage. Both of which are difficult for a traditional military to leverage their strengths with.

I agree in a dense urban environment it’s difficult to keep the civilian population safe. You need to win heart and mind. But tactically the city probably has many advantages for an insurgent military. Especially if a strong majority of civilians support the cause.

I'm the author. My actual name is Doreen Michele Traylor.

I spent nearly six years homeless, in part because I have an incurable medical condition. The point of view of the piece is informed by firsthand experience, not prejudice nor judgment against people like myself.

I have spent a lot of years desperately trying to convince people to support my Patreon or leave tips for my blog writing. I get a lot of feedback that I write well, but I also get told a lot "go get a Real Job, writing simply doesn't pay."

I was very open about my problems when I was homeless. The vast majority of the time, it got me open hostility, not aid and support. If people threw money at me every single time I mentioned how dire my situation was, I could have paid cash for a house ages ago.

That's not how that works.

Once in a while, people would take pity on me and kick a few bucks my way. But I lived under constant suspicion that the only possible reason I talked about my reality was that I was de facto soft begging.

I would much, much rather be paid for my writing than kicked a few bucks out of pity occasionally. It would be vastly better for both my bottom line and my sense of self.
Sure, costs will come down. Soft costs like permitting and marketing are high in the US compared to Europe and Australia, there's room there. The biggest way to cut costs would be to design solar into houses when they are built rather than retrofit them afterwards. In California with the solar mandate for new construction we should see both of those costs go way down.

But it will always be more expensive because of efficiency that goes with scale.
Go back to pre-Uber. No one called expensive taxis and used private cars, including the cyclists for non trivial distances. Uber came and solved the first step. Maybe some cyclists even take it for trivial distances. But that's blaming Uber for a good product and promoting a protectionsist scheme. Rather if you want more pedestrians and cycling, have more infrastructure and incentives to promote that rather than ban Uber.
I agree, it is simply astounding that the entire thread is filled with praising the presentation style which only gets in the way of the user. Anytime there is a need to add effects, animations, snazzy things - question ruthlessly as to why is it needed. Then after justifying it, ask again.

This is what good documentation looks like: https://golang.org/pkg/

Ethereum is already a lot faster than that, and will probably get to Eth2.0 with sharding and PoS in the not too distant future. Then your ETH transactions will be blazing fast, secure, and cheap as chips.

Of course, they've been saying all of that is not so far away for a couple years now, but we will see. I'm tentatively optimistic.

You said that you transfer crypto to your bank and you are not deplatformed.

My point is the banks don’t care about crypto. They care about your occupation. If you deposited cash, you may still have no bank account.

> As someone who works in the domain name industry

Do you have any opinions on Namecoin and/or Ethereum Name Service? I'm not looking for an argument, just genuinely curious what somebody in the industry thinks.
Used to work in a business that sold porn DVDs and had to deal with chargebacks. We had an inbound sales call center, and a customer service one where you could cancel.

Among the chargebacks, fraud is the most common reason code, but the amount of true fraud such as stolen credit cards is astoundingly low to the point of being almost non-existent. I would say 90% of cases were the angry spouse and the man denying it. The most common actual fraud you would see is a relative who lives in the house using it, say a grandson using grandma's credit card or adult children running up a $4k tab after their parent died.

Also I had to find friendly merchant banks, the problem with this is it is very much a two-way trust street. Just as there are tons of shady porn providers, there are tons of shady merchant banks. Some will hold your money for no reason and can jeopardize your whole business, so we always had everything spread across multiple banks but that could still be problematic.
It depends on the morning routine.

When I'm in a hurry I just get all done in the bathroom, including brushing teeth, and grab a quick breakfast on my way out, which usually involves half a glass orange juice.

Those are the situations where the toothpaste aftertaste can sometimes collide with orange juice, making it super bitter.
In my personal case I'm using it so the DOM is more literal as to what's happening on the page. I'm of the naive opinion that you should be able to read the DOM and have a general sense of what the site looks like. Since I'm making a single-page site that loads everything at once, I have a webcomponent based router that declaratively states what route will be active given the URL. For example:

𝚖𝚢-𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚝𝚎𝚛
𝚖𝚢-𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚝𝚎(𝚙𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚗="/𝚑𝚘𝚖𝚎")
// 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚑𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚙𝚊𝚐𝚎
𝚖𝚢-𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚝𝚎(𝚙𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚗="/𝚗𝚎𝚠𝚜")
// 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚗𝚎𝚠𝚜 𝚙𝚊𝚐𝚎

Yeh its always obvious in hindsight. They are designing it for current time. i.e. they have common kitchen so if there is a problem of dirty dishes then they will have someone cleaning up the place daily or weekly. No question of who pays the utility bill because its included. This is very different from just renting out room. They may also have someone loosely policing the place in case there are issues in common living area or someone is not behaving properly.
I've read a dozen studies so far that indicate Uber increases traffic and congestion in cities it operates in. Quite a lot, actually. Increasing commute times by 40% or more in some of the studies. Venture capital is paying people to idle around the city, clogging the roads. It's a sort of denial of service attack.

"Uber and Lyft Admit They're Making Traffic Worse"

Banks and other financial institutions
are all about minimizing risk. If there is a risk that an account enables sex trafficking or money laundering there may be an internal policy to close the account as well as an obligation under anti money laundering laws to report it to the government. It comes down to the risk appetite of the bank. The bank stands to be fined if it is found not to have reported on suspicious activity and there is reputational risk as well. This is the reason a lot of banks would choose to de-risk and close the accounts.
When life imitates art. Wasn't this literally the plot to the Hackers movie? Complete with the 5 million dollar ransom to an oil company...
I like how this is spun in a way as if PayPal has a vendetta against specific forms of income alone.

Nevermind the sex industry is probably the biggest attractor for fraudulent charges and overall sketchy business.

>drop as low as 4.1V at just 2A

the whole point of a 3A rated 5V power supply is it will not drop more than ~5% under its rated load. What you describe is being a victim of a fraud.
I doubt anyone is threatening banks on this based on moral grounds.

I suspect it's just fraud, people using stolen credit cards and bank details to pay for porn (because porn can be delivered digitally)

So these accounts disproportionately show up in the fraud department and the fraud department spends more time dealing with those accounts than the profit generated.

Eventually, the bank or payment processor decides it would be less effort just to get rid of the customers causing issues. The moral questions probably means nobody internally feels like defending them.
Why This Stuff Costs $2700T per Gram
PayPal is an accessible platform that works is a wide variety of scenarios — it’s almost unique in that respect.

Most forms of sex work are illegal in the US and other jurisdictions, and sites like PornHub are compliance nightmares where all manner of sleazy or illegal actions are likely happening. PayPal doesn’t want to be the financier for the next scandalous “amateur” producer.
