Most states now have laws against debt collection harassment and have caps on debt collection interest and fees.

There has to be proof in court that a debtor was served papers to get a judgment. There's a term called 'sewer service' where some shady collectors try to fake this service. If you get lucky your debt collector might try this on you, it's a great way to get debt wiped clean by a very angry judge.
>What do you expect them to do? Hire a PMC and fight a war with the police when they come around to raid the server room? Go into hiding so that the security agency can't steal the upgrade signing key from them?

No, we want them to assume the same thing we are assuming. That if their service becomes successful, they will be coerced to compromise their users, regardless of how frequently they promise that they would never do so.

If they are even bothering to make public announcements like this, then that means they believe the security of their system can be founded on the honor of their employees. It's important to recognize that this isn't even true if you assume every member of their team is an uncorruptible seraphim.

Instead, where possible, the service should be zero knowledge, where not possible, it should be considered insecure.
Sure. I think at most we're saying the same thing.

The American system is or aims for equality of opportunity. Europe manages for equality of outcomes. These are vastly different. To make UBI work in the US is a much bigger uphill battle as a result. Now, it can be rightly argued that these remain goals to some extent. Civil rights weren't passed until the 60s in the US. So we can inveigh there where gaps remain. Finally, UBI cannot be seriously engaged and implemented without tackling tax breaks, and other social programs like Medicare/Medicade. Otherwise it's just more money. More money isn't always the answer
This is a good cautionary tale and one I've seen played out in the tech industry with food. Even in the 80's it wasn't uncommon for a tech company to have a "beer bust" on Friday's where drinks and snacks were served as a social gathering for employees at the end of the work week. It was a turning point in employee relations when the VP of HR at Sun cancelled the weekly beer bust. Similarly at Google when they decided to scale back the legendary "mini-kitchens" full of snacks, "healthy alternatives" that were slowly pared down.

One sociologist I read wrote, and I'm paraphrasing, "Sharing food with another is an action of great significance. Evolutionary, the sharing of food by hunter gatherers was more significant than sex in establishing a mutually bonding relationship." They went on to discuss the importance that meals played in our history and why we "throw a feast" to welcome heroes, and the Jesus' "big reveal" happened at a meal.

The main point was that when you share food with someone you trigger a very ancient and well established mechanism. Conversely, when you stop sharing food with someone, you signal their ancient brain "I don't trust you any more, we aren't friends."

Now whether or not that thought/emotion comes to the surface, it's very clear that the for many people the change from "sharing food with you" to "not sharing food with you" changes how they see their relationship with you. What is perhaps worse is that the damage is instant and irreversible. Even if you start sharing again, the people you stopped sharing with, even temporarily[1], will no longer feel the same trust that they felt before.

At tech companies those people leave and eventually you have all employees who only remember the current system and so you're at a new "normal."

Bottom line, taking away "free" food is waaaay more impactful on company morale/relationships than you would ever imagine unless you had researched it. Thus, it happens over and over again. And even though I know a company is just trying to make me like it by giving me free food, I can't keep myself from being positively effected by it. That response is buried somewhere deep inside my head that doesn't allow for excision.

[1] Yes, there are ways to temporarily stop and not disconnect but that involves messaging before one stops sharing to both provide the external reason for the change and the conditions on which the change would revert back to sharing.

All that is communicated up front. If a deliverable is projected near the very end of the plan, it’s at risk and may not actually be delivered.

But it works wonders for keeping out midstream new work from side tracking your team so that you can actually deliver on that commitment.

> I'm happy to answer more questions.

How much are you willing to tell us about the income source?

I’m finding it difficult to think of anything that generates a small but consistent revenue stream with no babysitting, that is also completely unresponsive to low-effort attempts at scaling it.

Usually if there’s no babysitting, that means low-effort scale. Or if it is hands-free but still can’t scale, it’s because you’ve found the boundaries of the market opportunity (but when is that ever just 1k?)

I guess my question is what niche product/service did you find that the entire world only wants $1000/mo of??
I've been on both sides so I understand your perspective.

Everyone wants to sell on _value_ and in an ideal world you could go up the food chain and say, "hey, if we spend $10,000 on this, we save $100,000 in employee hours". That should be the easiest decision in the world, especially if you could come back in a year and figure out it was really $105,000.

However budgeting in just about any organization I've been involved in doesn't work like that. You ask for $10,000 and there's no budget for it. Even if there is, there's no guarantee that next year you're not going to have to "tighten belts" and "sharpen pencils".
A shame Stallman put the kibosh on QT quickly. Is he planning on there being a GPLv4? Not in the "leaving that option open for the future" kind of planning, but more, "A need has been identified that can't be met by v3, it's time to start working on v4." Because if they truly want a cross platform visual interface, AFAICT, QT is the closest you're going to get, and IMO, is the best means of doing so. Every QT app I've seen has looked and acted a lot closer to a native app on Windows and Mac than anything that ever came out of GTK or other GUI toolkits. And I don't understand why GTK doesn't have the same issues. It's not a GNU project AFAIK. It can't be a GPL vs LGPL thing, because QT is also available under LGPL. Is Stallman perhaps just stuck on the fact that QT was once not available under a free license?
These days you can just google to get answers quickly, just like for any other tool. Stackoverflow, etc. has tons of content for emacs too.

Password Manager Resources (From Apple)
As a person who runs a small software business, coding most of the functionality myself, I actually disagree with the article. There is a huge value in setting deadlines because they force you to prioritize things. Once you realize that you don't have the time to ship features X, Y and Z, you start comparing their impact/complexity/risks, pick the most beneficial one, and ship it before it's too late.

Without prioritization it's very easy to get stuck in a loop of endlessly adding small improvements/testing new ideas, but never releasing the final sellable product. There are a few notorious examples from the game industry where no time pressure lead to either no product, or a hopelessly late-to-market product (e.g. Half-Life 3, Duke Nukem Forever). There are more smaller examples where entire teams endlessly juggle the code between web frameworks, as they come in and out of fashion, and neglect more user-impacting features.

That said, most of time pressure should only be applied at the decision-making level. Once you have decided to ship feature X with framework Y, it's useless to nag on your devs to do it in half the time by dropping unit tests, or doing 60-hour work weeks. Instead, you should have picked feature Z with 50% the complexity and 80% user impact.

Disneyland isn't a great example to use for pricing, because it is a fixed resource. Demand goes up simply because population is increasing and so is their reach. They don't really need to improve the quality of the park at all.

In fact, I'd say they are still undercharging. The park will still fill up on peak days. They have been trying to fix this by increasing the prices of passes and decreasing the days they allow you in. But it's not working (current situation not withstanding).

Disneyland is a fixed resource, so it doesn't really apply to pricing discussions of resources that can be variable, like SaaS products.
typo corrected, thanks!!
The shortcomings in range is just the mmWave 5G. Which is the same trade off as 2.4ghz vs 5ghz wifi of higher bandwidth for less range/pentration. You can still run 5G on the same old spectrums as 4G for the same range, and only slight improvements in speed (not the 1 gigabit that you'd get on mmWave).
Deploying a 10KW sat is not a problem. Replacing a whole fleet just to keep it operating the same way as before is.
Interesting! Yeah, if electricity is heavily subsidized, you're probably right that solar panels are unprofitable. How much does electricity cost? Why don't the agricultural water pumping folks use the subsidized electricity instead of installing solar panels?
Multi-way video conferencing in Matrix isn't e2ee yet; the e2ee-by-default here refers to private group chats, DMs, and 1:1 video/voip calls.

Once Jitsi lands their E2EE support (hopefully using Matrix's E2EE for key management, c.f. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22855407) then we'll get E2EE video conferencing too.

Until then, Matrix (but not Riot) also supports E2EE video conferencing via full mesh webrtc, but as you say, it scales to relatively few users.
It's still popular with me :)

In fact instead of being in either the vi or emacs camp, I use both. I also use Eclipse.

Each of them for the task at hand.
Exactly. Whenever a new developer asks what editor I use, I emphasize that while I use emacs, it has a huge learning curve. It has different conventions than any other text editor, because it predates those conventions.
Hoping someway, somehow, something like medicare for all comes to fruition at the national scale given that the economy will become even more of a gig economy than pre-corona.

If it gets through peer-review of reputable journals - then certainly yes. The burden of proof always rests on the one proposing a grand claim.

But my bet*) is that if it gets accepted, then with severely reduced claims (not "theory of everything", but "We model X with Y, and were able to replicate Z1 in general and Z2 in low-energy limit. Further studies...").

Large company and many people involved, as of now, is the only reason why it gets some attention. Otherwise it would be buried as a PDF in "misc" section on one's academic website.

From what I can tell from their website, their idea of "support" seems to be RMA.

no it dont stop when i lift my finger.
That's the really cool thing about Emacs. The only difference between "simple variable settings" and "proper lisp programs" is a difference of scale, not a difference of kind. Variable settings are just as much code as anything else in Emacs.

The history of lightsquared, the company involved, is horrendous. They bought spectrum with a SPECIFIC restriction on it to avoid GPS interference - then proceeded to get a proposal approved that violates that restriction. The amount of bad faith dealing by this company was eye opening.

I thought Garmin / Trimble and basically every GPS company had sued them because of how terrible their proposals and behavior has been.

This is not traditional 5G, it's basically misusing satellite spectrum.

No immediate plans, but there’s a need for coherency. I’m expecting a new “one communication app to rule them all” within a few months (which likely means a few more rounds of existing apps being canned and consolidated “to eliminate user confusion”).

Stay-at-home science project: Two-ingredient Silly Putty
Yup. Big Nuclear fleet. Most of France's base load is just a bunch of fission reactors, very high efficiency, very low CO2 emissions. Germans are scared of them, decided to just burn lots of coal instead.

The UK imports a bunch of this cheap nuclear electricity from France, we have a 2GW bi-directional line. In principle that line could sell power from our gas turbines in mid-winter if France needs the extra power to keep things running, but most of the time it imports French nuclear power because it's much cheaper than our gas. Our own nuclear fleet is too small for our base needs (6-7GW of nukes compared to ~18-20GW base)

It's not being talked about much because it is unpalatable to the pro-big-business arm of the Democrat establishment. And you cannot find a more pro-establishment candidate than Biden.

I'm Building an Open Jobs API
Hey Everyone, I'm one of the many people who have been laid off...

There's going to be a lot of people searching for jobs and I was surprised to find all the APIs for job searching are pretty much closed.

I've decided to make an open job search API and would love to get feedback from the community during the early stages while I'm building v0 of the API.

This API will allow you to get up to date job data from multiple companies in a single API call. You can also setup webhooks to be notified of when companies update job descriptions, titles, post new jobs, or remove jobs.

Its partially done if anyone wants early access. Let me know!
Read and/or listen to books that give you tips on building products. Most importantly use the skills you learn about.

Don't try and do everything in the book. Try and take one or two things that resonate with you and just implement those. Obviously you need to be involved in the development of a product to do that.

For example, I listened to The Mom Test earlier this year. Instead of trying to remember and do everything from the book, I just took one part that resonated. For me that was "Don't talk about your product when interviewing customers, talk about the customer and their problem.". When you feel you've improved at that, move on to the next thing you can improve.

That's my point though, in both cases the developer needs to add additional syntax to make the intent clear. "Naive" Rust code that tries to do that stuff is rejected by the compiler.

I've expressed myself poorly in my original comment and apparently it looks like I was criticizing Rust but I wasn't. I was just pointing out that safety didn't come "for free" by toggling a compiler flag, you have to change the way you code some things. If C and C++ were to become safe languages, code would need to be rewritten using things like MaybeUninit, split_at_mut, RefCell etc...

I don't think emacs is "user-hostile" on purpose. You have to keep in mind, it's nearly 45 years old. This is almost unprecedented in computing.

Today's users expect different things than users did in the 70s (who expected different things than users in the 80s, 90s, so on). Emacs has been relatively consistent through time, which has been a huge boon to emacs users. The tradeoff is against current user's intuitions -- for better or worse, emacs does not work like other popular software today.

Calling this "user-hostile" comes off somewhat entitled. Emacs developers in the 70s/80s/90s/00s simply didn't know enough about today's users to cater to us, even if they wanted to. That's hardly their fault.

So, todays way and the emacs way have diverged some, and it does take a bit of effort to learn. Not because emacs hates you! But because emacs is ancient. The (objective, non-stockholm-syndrome) reward for your efforts to understand it are a) mastery of a system useful enough to survive this long, and b) mastery of a system that isn't likely to change out from under you.
Thank you, I understand better now with the numbers worked out. Although in this example, outcome is dependent on circumstance and LBOs are not covers for malfeasance the way they're frequently talked about.
