Acknowledging that virtually every major civilization's Golden Age was accompanied by expansionist military imperialism and was destructive as well as creative is a fine position to take, but were you to take that position honestly then you wouldn't be singling out only one specific civilization to spit venom at. That's why you really are making a racist argument, even if your biases blind you to your racism.

edit: "racist" was technically incorrect - bigoted is a more correct term.
I like the idea of ad preferences built into the browser with an api that lets ad companies tap into what people actually want. It wouldn’t be invasive and it might actually generate better roi. The best person to market to after all is someone telling you “I want what you make”. This would also help the browser companies/organizations.

Another note, Facebook and Google are both some of the largest companies in the world because of their advertising technology. We created them with our clicks.
> Amazon doesn’t want to host it either.

This is total bullshit. Amazon doesn’t give a fuck about what you’re hosting on an S3 bucket as long as it’s not illegal.

Also, Amazon is not the only storage provider in the world. Serving your bullshit to the world is definitely not an impediment or limitation.

You’re making it sound like all the major corporations in the world colluded to ban fucking Alex Jones. The reality is that he is probably too incompetent to figure out that he can build his own distribution without relying on major corporations.

But he doesn’t want that. Why? Because how else could he monetize his moronic bullshit?

Alex Jones is a drunk fuck who explodes the stupidity of his base with full knowledge and awareness about it. He knows the more shit he talks the more he can leverage his base to get financial benefits.

People defend Alex Jones on the merits of free speech and they fail to realize that you can say whatever you want and still be 100% factually wrong. So anybody has the right to refuse giving a platform to that. This is not about left and right, this is literally the difference between right and wrong.

You’re claiming that free speech is about hearing things you don’t like. Do you really believe that you’re entitled to an audience just because you have a right to freely speak about anything?
It is a cool technology, but with the rise of docker (and related technologies), running things cross platform has less importance than it once did.

I'm not saying it has zero importance, just less than the 90s/00s.
Maybe I’m older and from a different time, but conventional advertising was simply based on the topics at hand. Selling camping gear? Advertise in a camping magazine or the travel outdoors section of the newspaper.

These are all completely worthwhile ways to advertise that generated results for decades. This recent change to picking a group of people as opposed to a selection of content providers is very new and many would argue this was pushed heavily by the fact that these companies like Google Facebook and others were able to wedge themselves between the content producers and the content.

I’m not sure we ever truly definitively proved it was worthless to target content subject matter as opposed to personal data.

> One could argue that it's not that the value of a dollar varies by location, but that the value of a quarter pounder varies by location. And I think that might be a more practical perspective, since a variable-value dollar would present an easy arbitrage opportunity, whereas buying quarter pounders in Manhattan and reselling them in Peoria is a scheme that would run afoul of some technical challenges.

You could make that argument, but it wouldn't be a very good argument, since the value of everything is systematically higher (measured in dollars) in Manhattan than in Peoria. The obvious model is that the value of the dollar is lower in Manhattan. (Also, you seem to have mixed up where you would be buying the hamburgers and where you'd be selling them.)

If you broach the topic in this way—jumping straight to an inflammatory statement on one of the most divisive of all topics—you're guaranteeing a flamewar. That's vandalism, nay, trolling. It breaks the site guidelines, damages this place badly, and you've done it more than once before. You also committed to us that you wouldn't to do it again. Would you please stick to that and not actually do it again?

Your comment would be fine, from a site guidelines point of view, without that last sentence.

Made me puke when Evernote introduced the "Context" feature, a disgusting data grab. It's a much worse option than just searching for whatever I want by myself, with the added anti-feature of losing all privacy to Evernote staff (and whomever hacks/has already hacked them).

My guess is that all these apps are salivating over the data to be able to train their NLP models which they can sell to an acquirer. I can't wait for Obsidian or some other app to reach feature parity (including wide, stable platform support). Would happily pay $$$ per year for it.

Hey, thanks for the datapoint! I'd like to break your comment down into what I believe are the two main points, and address them independently.

1. On whether or not FRB should be in the list — we certainly think they should. Based on the founder surveys we sent out, we found that FRB was quite-well represented across the startup community (and I think that your datapoint adds to that finding). Our inclusion of a company/product is not an endorsement, but rather a result of what we think would be useful to test for the community. In this case, we evaluated FRB because we know a lot of founders (including yourself) have considered/are using them.

2. On whether our evaluation reflects your experience — this is the more interesting point for us. We have data from ~15 founders re: FRB, ranging from full-blown interviews to anecdotes. In general, we didn't hear anything substantially negative about their core banking service, but we aren't going to conclude that they're perfect from that data alone. That said, the founder data was informative enough to draw some directionally-accurate conclusions from, although additional data points help us both realign as well as shrink or expand our confidence interval.

If you're willing to email me about your experience with FRB, we'd very much like to look it over and take it into account when we update the guide.
The major difference being that Labron is 35, which is how old MJ was in the 98 season. That was the end of the bulls, but really just the start of Lakers Labron. Jordan did diddly after that season (in part because he was stupid and injured himself with a cigar cutter).
Because this benefits only WSL. I don’t think that the Linux maintainers should spend time and effort maintaining a shim that only benefits users on another operating system. It does not even lead to cross platform code if a dev uses this on WSL.

Microsoft can ship it however they please though within bounds of licenses.
About the "schools being closed" thing, I had a chance to compare notes (so to speak) with a few friends that grew up in north african muslim countries. I remember they had a few interesting takes that showed a VERY distorted perspective on a few aspects of medieval history (we all do, history books are written by whoever runs the schools), a little beyond the self congratulatory takes I experienced in European schools. I still remember vividly an Egyptian friend of mine that was dead sure Egypt won the Six Days War against Israel to mention one of the most obviously wrong things he believed.

This is pretty severe revisionist history that presupposes that Intel's investment of billions every year in trying (and failing) to make soft X-ray lithography work well enough to double transistor count was just them not trying hard enough due to lack of competition.
This was common practice on a smaller scale for the IRA (Provisional IRA, etc.) throughout the Troubles from what I understand, though the heist you're referring to is particularly notable due to its magnitude and later timing. It evidently proved to be a relatively easy way to raise money, especially as it was at the loss of their purported enemy.
When the 'micropayment' idea first came around decades ago, I got the impression that it would let us voluntarily send a little change to individuals who'd posted something that was 'worth' looking at/hearing to us.

Had that option ever arisen, I'd have 'sent' x cents directly to the account of hundreds of creators. Because it was simple and person-to-person. Now and then, I'd have 'sent' x dollars to -someone- who'd created something of extraordinary value ... to me.

In my view, the rewards collected by brokers are usually not deserved, and the rewards for streamers highway robbery. A 'facilitator' at cost+ (limited) is a different ballgame.

The idea - simple, direct, voluntary, user-chosen 'rewards' P2P - never became a reality. I regret that. A cent, a nickel, a dime - anyone could play - from 100,000 people in a year (or even longer-tail) amounts to a very tangible reward, and valuable feedback. I don't need anyone telling me what something is worth to me; the creator does.

>the Muslim world had plumbing, water filtration, surgery, advanced mathematics, and many more amazing scientific advances

A lot of which came through Indian traders, first evidences of human surgeries are found in Indian subcontinent, Indus valley civilization had pretty advance irrigation system for the time and mathematics: quadratic equations, notion of zero, notion of limits and inifinty were here in philosophical sense even if no one every applied it in mathematics.

In the field of war strategy and material, like steel for sword - India was wayy ahead at its time. They knew about the steel temperament long before Europeans even started using steel for swords.

"During the 6th Century BCE, an Indian physician named Sushruta – widely regarded in India as the 'father of surgery' – wrote one of the world's earliest works on medicine and surgery"

It's pretty clear we're not going to have a useful conversation, since I was specifically responding to this:

>People were still writing those “important classical texts” you mention when they were killed and their texts burned.

No. People who shop at Costco tend to have the spare cash to buy lots of stuff at once and have lots of space to put it and so draw from a very different demographic than Walmart does, mostly. It's a bit of a Sam Vimes boot theory thing.

> Free speech as a principle isn't about hearing stuff you like. It's about hearing stuff you don't like.

Free speech is not about the "right to be listened to," it's a very specific concept that means that the government cannot punish you or restrict your ability to make speech. If one person has a wildly unpopular idea, that is simply what it is: unpopular. To quote the first amendment of the United States Constitution:

> Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The true problem in all of this is that the right to "speak freely" is not something that was conceived thinking it would be possible to immediately transmit speech over thousands of miles to millions of people. We have so far enshrined corporations with protection and simultaneously not created any government backed properties for people to share ideas (akin to a digital public square).

If anything is a problem it's that there is no equivalent to a public square because most Internet forums are privately owned places. It would be like if the only land that people didn't own was the sidewalk to city hall.

On 1: this is because they've done a great job with partnerships. Cerkly's corporation set-up becomes free if you sign up with FRB – this was a YC deal we used. So this doesn't mean much.

2. I recognize that this is generally a hard job. Our original product/company was along the same lines as Wirecutter (https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/ask-suto-launch/) and it's an extremely tough path to take. I do feel that it's easier for businesses since the value-props/features are a lot more distinct in how businesses make decisions.
Any ideas on how much the deal was for?
If it could be guaranteed to be limited to the Alex Joneses of the world, I would wholly agree with this.

However, now that a strong majority of the influential communication that takes place in society is divided across perhaps 5 tech platforms, with 1 tech company controlling the ability to search for other platforms, it's hard to say getting booted off all platforms isn't functionally restricting freedom of speech.

At what point do we concede that allowing a small set of 'private companies' carte blanche over public discourse is a restriction of public freedom?

I was thinking the exact same thing. I wonder if any of their higher-profile hosts will jump ship if that happens. I'll quit listening out of principle, but also because I feel like I have an alternative in Radiotopia. If Gimlet really were the only ones putting out high-production content, I'd be pretty despondent right now. As it stands, I'm angry, but I feel like I at least have an escape plan.
It would be a good idea to read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. They specifically ask not to post like this to ask us something, but to email hn@ycombinator.com instead.

What personal finance apps have you tried with budgeting? There are a few on the market, the most popular being YNAB and Mint. My personal opinion is that Mint tries to do too much while YNAB forces you into a rigid philosophy.

last I checked LN channels must be pre-loaded with funds, which would seem to kill the incentive to use them for spontaneous one-off BTC transactions between otherwise unaffiliated parties, which would be most of the transactions taking place. Who wants to put up $100 just to transact $10?
I must ask, please do not take this the wrong way, how have you been able to switch consistently with such ease? And what country do you work, where you are being respected for having industry-naïvety?
Understandable no?

Americans can always go to the secret service to exchange torn notes. Non-American's can't.
It’s also extremely slow. Most places are very slow in reporting normal death, ie those from non-notifiable causes. This is very visible in the euromomo data.
I read the article and the HN posts, but they all miss the point, calling it the "Great Asshole Fallacy" is incorrect.

One of Jordan's coaches said in an interview, "[What most people don't understand about Jordan is that he isn't there to play, he's there to win.]"

Meaning the game of basketball wasn't important, winning was important.

Tiger Woods said the same thing in an interview, "if I can't win, I won't play,' he said. 'I simply couldn't stand it and I will walk away when I can no longer play at the highest level."

Winners are there to win, not to enjoy the game. So in that respect they have no problem acting or being perceived as assholes, since winning is all that matters.

If you pay attention to the media, you'll see that most champions don't just play and hope to excel, they are driven to win, regardless of their sport. Often they'll say, "I wanted to go out at the top."

(I'll let the hard-core sports fans research the Jordan quote and fill in the verbatim version.)

Kernighan’s recent memoir has made awk pop in my head a lot more recently and allowed me to stay in shell script land vs bailing to Python.

I used it plenty over the years, but with a lot of trial and error. Now, I see it as an event engine and it just flows naturally. It’s so great for generating reports from log files, simple csv, data dumps, etc. it’s sad to see it used as ‘cut’ in most scripts.

It’s like a basin wrench. It has a small scope, but once you use it and grok it, you’d never want to do those things with another tool.

That said, I have no use for features above POSIX. It’s essentially a DSL for me, and turning it into Perl ruins the simplicity. I’ll move on to a general purpose language that others can understand and maintain vs use esoteric extensions.
