That's an interesting thought that I didn't consider. In a decade or so of using it I've never, anecdotally of course, had a problem.
I mean this is nothing compared to what you can accomplish with a multi origin cdn or how about a scriptable edge cdn... fastly, cloudflare or cloud front with edge lambda... then you can effectively proxy everything on the same origin with zero ip or domain difference... only content analysis could be effective and even then it’ll become a real arms race

I wouldn't know since I've not used one. I didn't even know that they had a new model of the DPT. Judging by a quick google though, I think the biggest difference is the display and touchscreen. The Sony appears to have a "Electrophoretic display" and a "Projected capacitive touchscreen" whereas the remarkable has a proprietary 'Canvas display' based on E-ink Carta -- all that to say, I can place my hand on the remarkable display and write / sketch / highlight ..etc. I'm not sure whether that is true of the DPT. The biggest problems with the writing on regular touchscreens is accidental unwanted 'writing' by your palm instead of the pen.

edit: I should add that the remarkable runs linux and as such is pretty hackable. You can ssh into it and hack it in a number of interesting ways[1] if you're into that sort of thing. Although for my purposes just adding custom writing templates itself is worth the hack-ability.

given that he/she is on HN, my assumption would be that they are a Gen-X'er at the earliest. Gen-X'ers saw and built the dawn of the internet/web so they still hold life outside the web in high regard and while we "get" a lot of the tech life stuff, we find participation to not be as important as younger generations. Then there is just stuff we don't see the point in, not that it's not important, rather it's just lost in generation translation.
Forcing people who want to include adware on their sites to run and maintain a proxy is an additional overhead that many won't want to do.

This reduces the attractiveness of adverts, which means they won't be as prevalent, which means tracking concerns are lessened.

That's a win, no?
I don't understand why that isn't already a thing, just set up a proxy on your own domain to the ad / tracking server and you'll already avoid existing blocklists.

The distinction is really about scale.

Yes generally, there are people in the government using technology well more advanced than anything available to the general public. However it's only a handful of people that are using it. Much of the high cost comes from these systems being at such a small scale.
I don't subscribe to the "Noble Savage" mythology. I'm not of the mind that European culture is all that great but somehow the technological leaps happened and those who stayed low-tech got crushed. The cycle will repeat, don't worry--we must be close to some tipping point of decadence.

I was messing with some DIY generator wiring when I was younger and ended up getting a bite from 110.

My hand was in a shitty position kind of around a table leg, and the shock caused me to clamp down with my hand and kind of "chokehold" the table leg. It took me a lot longer than I thought it would to even register what was happening, and then to kind of throw myself away. I'd been shocked before, but this just kept going after I realized that it was happening and I just didn't know how to process it.

I ended up with some nasty burns on my hand, a really sore whole arm, and a scary realization of how it could have been a lot worse if just one or 2 things were slightly different.

Perhaps not, but my rudimentary understanding of Latin - learnt only in passing - has on many occasion allowed me to correctly derive and interpret words I'd never seen or heard before.

However, the rudimentary nature of my understanding has caused me on occasion to derive etymologically invalid words - such as enthnosupremacist - but fuck it, it's English - why can't I mix my etymologies?

(although in this case, I'd probably hyphenate it).

And to an extent far more versatile than anything on the English side of my understanding of language.

> Most people (in this context) make the mistake of spending it on drugs, worthless trinkets, junk food, etc. Most aren't encouraged to pursue skills that can pay the bills. Or they're actively discouraged. "Crabs in a bucket" is a real mentality. People I grew up around have it. I had to hide my interest in entrepreneurship just to protect it from sabotage.

These are the people most in need of the concept of compound interest. If they knew that small steps every day can lead to big outcomes, they would be more inclined to take them.

No, it doesn't make it magically better, there is no magic. But it does make the site accountable for the content they're serving me, instead of saying, "Oh, that's not our fault you got malware, it was the third-party ad network we use." It may not protect me much more than I am now, but it shifts the accountability to the first party I am dealing with instead of allowing them to pass the buck, because I can block all third party requests if I want to.

Would this change any legal basis? I do not know, I'm not a lawyer, but I sure hope we find out.

I'm not saying no one will try to do this, but YouTube had the technical option of splicing ads directly into the video stream and simply not sending the actual video content for the duration of the ad for several years now. They chose not to do it. Potentially the lost revenue from people not using YouTube as much anymore / migrating to a different platform would be bigger here than the increase in ad traffic.

People who don't want to see ads (i.e. a large part of adblock users) are also more likely to engage in toxic (to advertisers and YouTube) behavior, such as intentionally clicking on ads but never buying anything (or even writing scripts to do that), or intentionally avoiding the advertised product, etc.

Habits are hard to break, it’s important to seed good ones.

Saving that $300 puts you in a better place than someone who squanders all of their cash. When I was starting out at work, nothing irritated me more than people bitching about how underpaid and poor they were, who somehow found the cash to burn up their earnings in cigarettes and to be out drinking all weekend.
I also haven't met anyone that touch-types 100% to the book. Everybody does some movements which aren't considered correct. The problem is that at some point you reach a level which you consider sufficient and you stop improving. Unlearning bad habits is a huge effort.

I can touch-type the number row at full speed as I was drilled doing it. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't be able to either because you rarely need it.

The advantage of a numpad is that it reduced hand movement.
Second that, its also wider than these tiny small keyboards, which is a plus comfort-wise.
One of my favorite Charlie Munger speeches seems relevant [1].

Never have I heard of anyone with as many misfortunes as you.

Sure, you might not start with as much as someone else. That doesn't change the effects of compound interest - you can still have have an exponential return.

The S&P500 with dividends reinvested has averaged a real (post-inflation) return of 7% annually over the last 100 years or so.

It's currently up 24% YTD.
That’s only if you need almost no risk. The whole US stock market is definitely risky (it could go down fifty percent or more in a year), but it has averaged significantly over 2%, even after inflation, even in the last few years.
One other ordering I've encountered which helps remove errors is to list the headers in reverse generic order. Meaning that you go from the most specific header files to the least specific. So <algorithm> and <windows.h> would be getting included last.

This helps ensure that your specific project level header files have all the necessary forward declares and includes to be a fully functioning and complete header.

That's the thing: they do know. They watch rich people earn money doing, from their poverty-clouded perspective, nothing. Learned helplessness is a powerful force. It took me years to break out of it. I can see how wrong it was from the other side, but I also know how useless criticism of people inside it is.

Doing what's kept your head barely above water for years seems safer than putting a few dollars away every month hoping it grows higher than the next thing that fails in your car or house. That's if you can get a bank account at all. Everyone knows someone to ask for the number of a good bankruptcy attorney. That's networking when you're broke and defeated.

I upvoted, but I found that it's a bit different from what you describe: It's a technique to stop obsessing about the past and the future.

For example, many people are so focused on planning for the future that it's unhealthy. Mindfulness can help to distract their minds for the unhealthy though pattern.

Either way it's good to work through a few different courses and find something that works. For example MBCT.
Massachusetts Lawmakers to Vote to Ban Flavored Tobacco, Menthol Cigarettes
Since really grasping compound interest I've noticed it apply across almost all aspects of life, which is what OP is saying. It shouldn't be reduced to the financial aspect which is probably the better-understood aspect of it.

Think about things like your education, your professional skills, your interests and hobbies, your health, your friendship and (professional) social network, hell, even your kids. Whatever little you put into any of these today will compound over time.

If I set some time apart today to better learn a programming language (or a text editor) I will be more productive with it over the next few years. If I develop a healthy exercise and nutrition regimen in my youth, I'll have less trouble maintaining that as I get older and a better starting point. If I try to go out and meet people then I'll have a large network of contacts to draw from if I'm ever looking for something specific in the future. If I've dabbled with a number of different hobbies in my youth then I'll have all these experiences which shape, and ultimately improve the outcomes that I have when tackling a problem today. And lastly kids: If I spend quality time with my kids in their very early formative years (reading, singing, talking) then by the time they enter school they will already have an above-average level of education and that difference will continue to compound for them in their life.

Well, there is two side of it:
- of course, meditation is an art that you don't master in the minute (and that most likely can always be further strengthen);
- anyone which has a bit of free time can practice it, all it asks is the will to improve its meditation skill to quickly feel practical benefits.
Let's break this down with a simple example:
You get a 30yr mortgage for $100,000 at 5%

If you paid $0 on principal your first year, the interest would be $100,000x0.05=$5000

Make it monthly: $5000/12=$416.67 rounded up to $417

On an amortization schedule, the fixed payment is calculated at $537, with $120 going to principal and $417 going to interest on your first payment. Exactly what you would expect to pay. The interest isn't front loaded, it's just the actual accrued interest of what you have borrowed.

When you pay the $120 in principal on your first payment, your debt reduces to $99,880. $99,880x0.05/12=$416 rounded. Therefore, your next payment, still at the fixed rate of $537 is now paying $121 in principal, and $416 in interest.

In short, when you have a large debt, you pay larger interest, when you have a smaller debt, you pay smaller interest. This isn't exploitation, just mathematics.
I've never used the number pad. Any time I want to type a number I will always use the keys along the top of the keyboard.

Reducing fossil fuel subsidies is absolutely the right thing to do. Air pollution from vehicles is very severe in Iran's cities, and imposes a huge health burden on the population.

Clean transport alternatives exist, and are becoming cheaper. But with fossil fuels being subsidised to the point that they are sold below their production cost in Iran, let alone their market value or true environmental cost, clean alternatives will always have trouble getting established.

It's just too bad the Iranian government feels the need to block discussion on the internet, rather than use it to get the message out.

It's not about having access to server logs, you need tools to make business and technical decisions and no tool will use server logs to show you how users interact on your app or website.

What's the privacy concern if I'm tracking on what pages my users visit? I'm not sharing those with anyone.

Small business owners like myself are hurt by these things, I can't afford to pay 4-5 figures to a developer to build a tool to analyze my server logs and won't give even 5% of the quality of data analysis Google Analytics or Mixpanel gives.

Firstly, I honestly don’t believe citation is needed on “people don’t work for free”.

We’re seeing it already. Many if not most news sites are pay gating their once free content. Cite: Wall Street Journal, New York Times, The New Yorker. All charge for access. All we’re free before the proliferation of ad blockers.

Yes there would be hobbyist information for free, but WebMD? News sites in general? Any sort of resource that takes money to pay people to maintain? It will all be pay gated.

As someone who does not use an adblocker, I have genuinely no problems finding the content I’m looking for.
> The ccTLDs are ultimately controlled by the sovereign entity whose country code is represented.

AFAIK, that is not generally true. ICANN delegates administration of ccTLD to some corporation (sometimes non-profit, sometimes for-profit), based on consultation with local internet community of that country. Such organization may have e.g. memorandum of understanding wit local government, but there is no requirement to be under its direct control.

Disclaimer: working for ccTLD registry, but speaking here for myself.

Why is Mozilla Firefox written in Rust, then?

The last time I looked at browser benchmarks was in 2016 when Google released benchmarks to brag about its performance over Firefox and Edge. It appears Webkit has released JetStream2 to benchmark JavaScript, WebAssembly and web workers, among other things. But I can't find data showing Mozilla Firefox is ~20% slower than Chrome/Edge today.

I really need to do this. At one point I got pretty far on https://www.typingclub.com/, but slid back to hunt-and-peck as soon as I stopped it. I'm learning Vim now (which has a similar effect where you get immediately much slower before you get faster), and one of the guides I was reading said not to waste your time with Vim before you can touch type.

That said, Vim is easier because as soon as you understand how to switch in and out of insert mode it works as a regular text editor. Touch typing really brings me to a standstill.

A bit of calculation would show that a lot of people have no chance of building "great passive income" in 10 years. They simply do not have enough income to save that much.

"I started with $200" tells us nothing useful.

I can start with $5 and have great passive income if I'm making $100k and wife is making $70k and both of us are capable of saving a good chunk per year.

I can start with $5000 and have little more than extra pocket money after 10 years if my salary is in the $20k to $30k range and I'm capable of saving $100 per lucky moon.

GP is absolutely right, compound interest does not do much if you don't have much. There is nothing ridiculous about it.
Well, I'm hardly about to accept that it's legitimate to spy on me "because they invested work and resources instead of getting it basically for free".

It's like, a peeping Tom who just looks through a window - yuck that's gross. But a peeping Tom who spies by building a microdrone that can fly in the door when it opens and mount itself on the ceiling with suction pads - oh that's perfectly legitimate because of the work and resources Tom invested.

I mean, if it's gross to do something by accident and it's gross to do something without any investment, it's super gross to do it with resources.

It's not all that hard to track someone across the internet. I think many people have demonstrate hacks that steal legitimate functionality and get you there.

I think we'll probably have to go for a containerised internet (separate apps) and just deal with the disadvantages.
