Thanks for the reply, I agree with you. Parenthetically, I know you can negotiate anything you want. I went to law school (though never practiced) and I find one of the common misconceptions is that contracts are these highly fomulaic documents with no room for creativity. The reality is, as you say, that you can put whatever you want in there. Contract law is mostly about enforcing the freely-negotiated agreements between parties. I wrote a lot of contracts that were highly specific to the scenarios in question and there was a ton of creativity - only trick was to use very precise language (verbose bordering on annoying).

My question was more whether this is something that is done in such contexts, namely smallish acquisitions. I think you're right that Baremetrics made a mistake here in not insisting on some of the things you mentioned.
Sorry PlayStation 5, we're disappointed
My personal theory: same reason but scoped to a limited domain. You can be a generally happy and successful person but a fanboy of an athlete because you've never achieved much in sports. You want someone to succeed because it resonates with some unrealized potential in yourself.
I don't think you qualify as famous in the sense pg uses the word. You're well known and highly regarded in some circles, but that's really different to how people think/feel about Travis, Eric Schmidt, Elon, SamA, etc.

(Or I'm not using the word properly which might be the case because I'm not native English -- I have friends who are as well known/successful on their field as you are (apprx.) and I'd never call them famous.)
To be honest, I’m a little confused about your response. There are a lot of points related to things like feminism as a dialectic, a “meat market” perspective about online dating, social unrest for single men, and trauma. I’m not sure how they connect as a rebuttal, if they are one.

My point was that I think society will broaden its view on what a good life for men looks like. I think it will help a lot of the difficult things you mention. I think people will eventually agree with your closing statement much more than they do now. Could you help me understand what you think I’m misguided about? I genuinely don’t understand.

We always have leaders and followers. I think the haters might be those who are fanboys of someone else.

Think about team-sports, the English soccer hooligans. They succumb to terrible violence because they are fanboys of their own team and haters of the other team, including the followers of the other team.
‘Incomprehensible’: The Australian Bushfires Are an Ecological Catastrophe
I think it is true that it is not unhealthy to cry. Perhaps some people do not need to cry, but I don't think avoiding crying is an indication of more executive control. I cry all the time, because I'm not trying to avoid it. It feels good to cry for me.
Ask HN: How do you manage env variables and secrets?
Man, I'm tired of this topic. I have gitlab CI, local environments, keychain, keepass, gcp, aws and a whole bunch of other places where some of my env variables stored. Furthermore, Expo apps, for example, can't pull .env files, so I have to write bash scripts to create js files. This hurts my brain.

I want to have a cozy place where I store all my variables and secrets safely per project per environment. I want to share it with my team, CI servers etc. I want to just specify a single key: the environemnt title. And all the variables should be pulled from somewhere. Is there such tool anywhere on the internet???
I haven't used it myself, but I've read that many Amiga third-party desktop software exposed an API to be programmed via a scripting language (called ARexx). You could easily automate tasks that cross application boundaries this way.

I really enjoyed The Millionaire Nextdoor.

Is there detailed practical advice other than investing in cheap index funds?
As usual, the HN crowd is comfortably outside the impact zone of military recruiting and despite being submitted multiple times, the basic responsibilities of citizenship command no discussion.
For the same reason groups and corporations don't have voting rights, they shouldn't be able to monopolize speech by drowning out all others.

Additionally, money is not speech. We disallow politicians directly giving people money to vote for them - why would we do that, since the politicians trade is in speech, he's simply delivering stump speech in the form of a $100 bill to his potential constituents.
An important assumption here is the belief humans are rational and in perfect control of themselves.

I've never seen any proof of that assumption. To the contrary, all evidence I've seen from the world of marketing and PR would support the opposite.

Anecdotally, it's never been easier to shove things in peoples faces. First thanks to TV, now thanks to social media.
It's an iron rule that the more automation, the more important are the humans that remain.

I'm not sure you get this. Google hasn't seemed to get this in the past. They have added some customer support though.
Yes. I think you're just not famous enough ;) (and neither am I).

But it's interesting to ponder when the whackos start to gather and why.
I'm not a PG fanboy ;) but I usually really admire his writing. He writes so plainly and clearly, it's something I struggle with. My issue is never ever that my writing is not flowery or interesting enough, it's that it's not simple enough. Knowing firsthand how much harder this is than one would think, I quite admire how plainly and straight-to-the-point PG writes.
Title is confusing, maybe "keep to a single file"? Had to read a while before I realized it wasn't some kind of file-clinging code barnacle.

First I've heard about bottle, I'm intrigued - as a longtime Flask user who is occasionally frustrated with its OOP-zeal it might be up my alley.
Just FYI my friend started attending this non-religious alternative to AA and she has good things to say about it:

Often bankrupt property tycoon riddled with dubious overseas Russian debt and has historic shady dealings in a number of countries doesn’t have skeletons in his closet that would impact national security?

Right. There was a reason he was Russia’s preferred candidate, and it wasn’t because they had too much kompromat on Hillary to know what to do with.
I think #3 is spot on; if you have a small amount of fame, especially in a niche area, there are people whose lives and work you'll impact enough for them to think really highly of you.

But that kind of fame doesn't really garner enough envy for people to develop much of a hatred toward you. Also, when someone badmouths a really famous person, that badmouthing can get some traction on its own just from the namedropping. When someone badmouths a niche-famous person, it's hard to get much traction. So their envy/ hatred doesn't really go anywhere.

I do wonder if there should be a third category, for people whose hatred and envy are so deep that they represent a real danger to their target. I will be happy to never have that kind of fame.
Not a “safe bet.” Reasonable assumption yes but no more. An American Airlines planet crashed only a few weeks after the September 01 attacks, but it was just an actual accident.
Enemies make me aware of my flaws. Haters make me aware of their flaws. My enemies make me stronger. Haters are just losers or bullies. I'm not famous so I can't speak about fanboys.
This is not true everywhere. There are Aadhar cards in India where you can confirm your identity with biometrics at any store using government-provided equipment that many stores have.
A short walk (~20 mins in my case) + accounting for having to show up early still adds time to the route, is the thing. And some people I know definitely would not be able to make that 20min walk twice a day or would have to make it slower, so it's another thing that makes public transit less accessible in this area. If I drive or take a cab I don't have to deal with that time overhead at all.

In the past I lived in Mountain View and despite being closer to SF, the nearest caltrain was more like a 30-35 minute walk for me, so I typically had to wait and catch a bus in order to get to the train station in a reasonable amount of time - creating more chances for delays.
Most major airlines suspended flights to and from Teheran on that day, so the odds were a bit higher than normal.
Males also die five years younger, on average. A large portion of the gap has roots in poor mental health (risk-taking behavior, alcohol/diet, and suicide).
I believe the official statement from Iran was that it was shot down by human error.

Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Man, reading this book really put a fire under my ass. I realized how much more I could be getting out of life by pursuing optionality and using the barbell strategy.

A quote that stuck with me the most is: "If you have more than one reason to do something, don't do it." That means that you are trying to convince yourself to do it. Obvious decisions require no more than one good reason.
Gosh. I remember the illustration program you're talking about but can't remember its name, either. :) I was surprised that it seemed to take so long for that concept to show up on other platforms, though -- other than Fractal Design Painter, it didn't seem like anyone on the Mac or Windows was really trying for that same kind of "real ink and paper" approach.
Possibly multiple soldiers all decided to lie to keep it secret. Maybe their commander ordered them to keep it secret so he wouldn't get in trouble.
OCSP stapling and what web servers and browsers do in the face of errors
Your comment suggests you believe those screwed by MIT are somehow naive about how the Institute works. You use the word "illusion."

I can tell you're not trying to insult anyone but you have to understand how that's kind of insulting.

If your point were correct and the issue were a simple question of being mentally prepared for the research slant of the school, Professor Tonegawa's son would not have killed himself in his freshman year.

Don't blame the students for what the system itself is structured to encourage. I was there to "learn and do" (to use your words), and I was still horrified by my experience there.
I setup a business which had a reasonable amount of success, and the amount and commitment of some of the haters was a real shock to me.

Just taking a perspective publically on something fairly innocuous such as which is the best programming language seemed to attract something much more aggressive than the usual debate because I had a bit of a perceived expertise.

I had a handful of people follow me online commenting on nearly everything, calling me a fraud etc again it wasn’t justified and the topic did not really warrant such a degree of negativity.

And heaven forbid you do actually make a mistake. I made the most tiny oversight about equality and diversity and the baying mob online wanted to tear me to pieces.

One thing I was disappointed about was how the social media platforms responded. They wouldn’t even help me stop some of it even though it crossed a line.

Though it upset me at first, I successfully tuned out and just used it as motivation to prove them wrong. It’s hard though but a definite fact of life.

Reagan phone rather
When I worked as a freelancer, in the dotcom era, I've participated in a number of projects led by some rich people. That included having meetings in their personal homes (some of them conduct a lot of business from their home office, apparently). For most of them, I had very vague idea who they are outside of the project I was in (some of them were rich enough so I tangentially heard about them before, some weren't) and if they conducted some nefarious crap in secret, I would never know. There weren't private islands involved, but I don't think it's too far out necessarily if you upgrade from a nobody IT freelancer to the leading MIT researcher.

So, if that lunch happened _before_ Epstein conviction, I'd give some benefit of the doubt. After, "not with a ten mile pole" is the appropriate policy and any other conduct is on him.
What appears surprising to me is how easy the funded researchers apparently got away with it.

- Profs Lloyd and Oxman, still in service

- Joscha Bach, who is the VP of research at the AI foundation (https://aifoundation.com/about/), and declined to comment. I don’t know whether someone with such track record should be educating on the future of AI?
I mean, to be fair, back in the days before Uber the abuses some riders got from drivers was even more sickening. Giving them the right to refuse rides arbitrarily is not really the greatest thing for consumers.
Both 'appked' and 'macbed' websites have guides for disabling both Gatekeepr and SIP (now they are derivative websites because the domains keep getting banned/confiscated):

macappdownload dot com slash fix-damaged-app-message

macappdownload dot com slash how-to-disable-system-integrity-protection-in-macos

These guides are all over their websites, especially at the download stage, where there is a short list of 'download instructions' with a link to these guides.

A while back I read someone saying that these websites are owned by a Russian hacker network. Touch at your own risk.
I’m not in the US, but the only ID card without a chip that I can think of here is a European driving license, which is just a plastic credit-card-sized thing that is often used as informal verification eg to collect a parcel.
it seems possible to cure haterdom: try do to creative work in the same domain and at the level of those you hate. it's almost certain you will come to better recognize their struggles, and may even turn yourself into a fanboy once you understand what was involved for them to reach their fame.
I don't know whether it'll build because I'm interested in maximum compression -- time spent compressing is immaterial to me since it's only done once. It's like compiling -- I don't care how long it takes if it generates fast machine code, because it's running the generated machine code that will matter many, many times afterwards.

Is Core2 Quad with 8GB of RAM or a Sun X4100 M2 "older hardware"?
Did we ever seriously doubt that? 2FA is just a made-up reason to have your phone number anyway, all the services that require that don't really want anything other than that.
No I'm saying what they did isn't praise worthy. They've swept plenty non-international shit under the rug.

People need to not forget these events and I'm worried one "good" (read: expected) act from them is going to make them forget.

I've lost family members to this corrupt country, so I'm a bit biased when I hate any sort of praise when they do the expected thing.
I don't know what you're using but modern GPS watches can absolutely track 200m sprints with decent accuracy. Adding a foot pod sensor can also help improve accuracy.
> Most websites you use today have fake security. When you log onto their service, your password gets sent up to their proprietary servers. There they check to see if it is correct and grant you access to your data.

> Sure, their servers might be in a top secret location. But the problem is that they know your password. Which means any bad actor, like a rogue employee, a hacker, or a government agency can snoop on your data without you knowing.

What on earth?
One day, in your setup, is 86bn (plus change). By Wikipedia data, the richest person is Jeff Bezos with 113bn. So who are the two-day-ers? Poorest of them must have almost 173bn, who are those?
We're trying to find excuses when Iran has a history of sweeping things under the rug.
Basically, 7+% dividend yield is really good because if the dividend is sound, the risk-reward ratio is better than investing in a growth company not paying a dividend. The market should be bidding up the price of the stock to bring the yield in line with typical yields. Since that isn’t happening, there is a risk that the market is pricing into the stock, either that the dividend will be cut or that the company may become insolvent.

There are high yield opportunities that are safer than others, but that is the general principle to use when analyzing unusually high yields.
That's the key problem that US needs to solve - the businesses don't really have a solid gov't ID system to fall back on. In most of Europe (UK seems to be more like USA as far as I understand) passing on a counterfeit ID to a mobile shop is harder (and more rare) than paying with counterfeit money, the IDs can be checked, employees are required to verify online if that ID has been reported lost or stolen, etc.

I mean, in Europe if criminals want to get a bunch of stuff on credit from some place with a disposable identity, they generally recruit poor/homeless people with real IDs, because that is simpler/cheaper/safer than trying to do it with counterfeit IDs.

SMS hijacking, just as the core identity theft issue is so much rare elsewhere - it demonstrates that it's a solvable issue if the USA wanted to solve it. (in some sense the discussion on identity theft reminds me of https://www.theonion.com/no-way-to-prevent-this-says-only-na...) However, the straightforward way to do that would require a proper single centralized (i.e. federal) gov't ID issued to almost all people, which seems to be anathema in USA.

Three days is insanely fast for a nation

Think of how many level of people are there.

There are the guys that shot the missile. The ones that command those guys, the ones that command those and commanders above those.

In the chaos of the tragedy, no body wants to open their mouth, in case they are executed for saying something that is against the direction which the nations top leaders want to take.

Then come the top leaders. With the escalating tensions with the US, having recently sent a barrage of missiles to Iraq, they are holding on to the horses of the country, on the edge of a cliff.

They have to discuss and deliberate a myriad of issues that are consequential to their every word.

They cannot be too rushed to say that they shot the plane down. It might create a chance for the US to spin this as a deliberate murder.

And all these are humans. Humans that run nations, whose millions of peoples lives are at stake.

Three days is perfectly OK.

I am glad Iran is honest enough to admit it's mistake, unlike Russia, for example.

I am a fan of Phillipe Krutchen's[1] "4+1" model[2], or variants thereof. The book Software Systems Architecture: Working With Stakeholders Using Viewpoints and Perspectives[3] by Eoin Woods and Nick Rozanski is a really good overview of the overall mechanism.

Also, while this bit is probably overkill for your current situation, you may find value down the road in looking at some of the various "architecture frameworks"[4] and reference models that are out there. Things like TOGAF[5], DODAF[6], MODAF[7], TRAK[8], etc.

In any case, always remember the words of the immortal Bruce Lee:

“Absorb what is useful, discard what is useless and add what is specifically your own”.

I think there’s an SMS sent without any visual indication and without asking for explicit permission (or I missed it if there was a tiny text warning). I noticed it when I saw an SMS, in my bill, sent to a Singapore number which, as an international SMS, was changeable (SMS is mostly free here).
It has downsides (like redlining, for one thing) but those downsides already existed in the traditional cab model, so it's at least not worse. Given the problems upfront ride pricing caused for drivers I think it's reasonable for it to go away, even if it's slightly less convenient for me as a passenger.

Ideally the problems with abuse of ride cancellation can just be solved via universal methods that apply to uber, lyft, AND traditional cabs. There's plenty of data available so it is feasible to use that data to police abuses of the system.
Facebook et al are knowingly leading the social collapse of countries because of the same thing that led the bankers to knowingly lead the world economy to the brink of collapse.

> Calling out non-professionalism and bashing a stranger's communication style are, perhaps ironically, nice examples of non-professional behavior.

I don't see how this is the case. One can critique a style of communication professionally just like any endeavor. I'm not "bashing" Linus, or even suggesting that he should be less honest. Just that there are far more effective ways to make the same point.
And according to Wikipedia, it was a phrase he commonly said, including months before the shootdown.

This passage applies so perfectly to obsessed supporters of political candidates, especially in the Trump era (no matter what side):

«A fanboy is obsessive and uncritical. Liking you becomes part of their identity, and they create an image of you in their own head that is much better than reality. Everything you do is good, because you do it. If you do something bad, they find a way to see it as good. And their love for you is not, usually, a quiet, private one. They want everyone to know how great you are.»
They are academics, so likely, no. Notoriously bad at actually accomplishing something with real world constraints, an actual timeline, and customer requirements.
A code sample on the landing page would have been nice.
I had no idea Uber drivers can't see the destination before taking rides. You as a passenger certainly commit to the target before you order, so I thought the driver can see it too. Certainly makes sense to me for it to be this way, especially given it's not supposed to be employment relationship. If we're to agree with the driver on a contract, and Uber is just facilitating, then both sides of the contract should have full information about what the contract is about.
