HN must do more to block spam than to filter it out by hand. The dead links are far from the kind and number of automated spam you see elsewhere.

That Email is a hassle but not a big one is exactly the point why sites ask for one.

And Captcha? You talked about spying before and this is exactly what captcha does these days. Its massively invasive, plus it was always annoying and never really worked well for its intended purpose.

I have to say, it seems a bit like your argument is stuck a few decades ago. While I quite like the thought experiment of how the internet could work with essentially anonymous and frictionless participation, I don't think it ever has or at least not for decades. And examples like hn and reddit are interesting, but every other blogs open comments section show that this working is rather the exception than the norm.

I consider myself privacy conscious, and from the options captcha, email and BTC, email for me strikes the right balance of ease of use, anonymity and effectiveness. More options would always be welcome though. Conecpts like Indieauth for example, look promising, but let's not kid ourselves, privacy wise, they require more of me than providing a fake address to get an email. And just like the BTC solution, it would probably keep many more people out if it were the only option.

> Eidetic memory (more commonly called photographic memory) is the ability to recall an image from memory with high precision for a brief period after seeing it only once, and without using a mnemonic device.

'for a brief period' is key here.

Also from the same wikipedia article:

> Each year at the World Memory Championships, the world's best memorizers compete for prizes. None of the world's best competitive memorizers has a photographic memory, and no one with claimed eidetic or photographic memory has ever won the championship.

...

> According to Herman Goldstine, the mathematician John von Neumann was able to recall from memory every book he had ever read.

That's just what some guy said.

> There are many examples of people with prodigious natural gifts for memory and more who trained it.

For example?

I live in Australia and have gardened for decades paying attention to bees and other insects around me.

They've since sent me photos of two that they've encountered.

If you are asking about why SSL For free went to this instead of Let's encrypt, it's pretty obvious money

If you are asking about why someone would use this instead of just using acme.sh or certbot, it's because some people doesn't even know how to show their current working directory (or even what a working directory is), so it's not that easy for them to understand more advanced topics like TCP ports, DNS records, they just want to optimize their SEO
You deny the statistic in the article. Then you use corporate speak like "we internally think about things..." Then you link to a blog post titled "Measuring Prevalence", which doesn't have a single data point with a number in it. Not to mention that it's another mess of CorpSpeak that sounds like a PR committee wrote it, not a human being.

The problem is not your intentions. It's clear that you actually want to engage people, given that you're replying actively on this board, even to impolite comments. The problem is the style of communication. It sounds constructed, artificial, developed through a process, like you and a bunch of people are sitting there drafting replies and tweaking until you have something that won't come back later and bite you in the butt. The problem with that strategy is that you end up saying very little of meaning at all.

So maybe to make things more concrete - is there a statistic on measuring the impact of recommendations that you do agree with that you can share?
> To keep reading this story, create a free account.

I can't read the article, because I don't have a Medium account.

In any case, I'm guessing that SRS/Anki isn't mentioned. Personally, I've had incredible success with retention by adding my notes from a book to Anki and keeping current with the cards. I'll also add the Wikipedia page and other general information about it.

I would almost argue that reading for information (as opposed to aesthetic enjoyment) is a hugely inefficient waste of time if you don't use a SRS system to retain what you've learned. I've probably read hundreds or thousands of books in my lifetime, but I can really only remember the minute details of the ones I've added to Anki.

This brings to mind an old Schopenhauer quote:

As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself.
The argument isn’t that you couldn’t do it fairly but that even if you did do it fairly, the end result would just suck.
Go is a particularly good language for CLI's I have found. At least compared to Java/C#/Python.

It's reasonably fast, compiles down to a simple to distribute binary, and the language is forgiving enough that you can do exploratory programming in it. Go-routines make it especially easy to deal with network calls in it as well. For anything that needs absolute performance though look elsewhere, but even then Go might be a good choice for prototyping.

I actually started learning Go with CLI applications. I have found that https://github.com/spf13/cobra tends to be one of the better CLI helpers you can get into but https://github.com/jpillora/opts is one I have been meaning to try following a presentation I saw on it once.
> 100% percent of the stations listed in the article have broadcast over the air stations (their FCC callsigns are given). I couldn't speculate how many people consume these station's content via broadcast versus some other medium, though.

Even the percentage doesn't really matter because the scarcity isn't there anymore. You don't have to get on broadcast TV in order to reach an audience anymore. PewDiePie has more subscribers than Fox and NBC have viewers combined.

When broadcast TV was the only way to deliver video to millions of people, you had to care what was using that capacity because it came at the expense of carrying something else. Now it's just one more way to deliver bits.

If anything it's now YouTube in that position, because they're just about the only way for ordinary people to reach a large audience. But in that case the constraint still isn't that they're carrying something bad instead of something good, since everything is carried in addition to rather than instead of everything else, but rather that they might refuse to carry something good which then has no other reasonable alternative for distribution.
One book in particular comes to mind:

This guy has a decent overall point but you know he's a prick when he implies being able to acquire a big flag quickly means ignoring the need for acquiring masks.

Does he know the persons tasked with acquiring those things? Does he know that getting the flag delayed getting the masks? What if multiple people were tasked separately and the flag simply easy to get?

Then he goes on to assert that governors and CEOs are opening up too quickly: "before it's safe". Get over it, people. It's time to go back to work. It can and is being done well.

I don't understand this desire by many people to be remain in panic mode. Is it comforting or something? How bizarre...

Vital Alpha Testo Review – Is it worth it?
Vital Alpha Testo is a product made for men who suffer from erectile dysfunction. The manufacturer states that it is a purely herbal product. The capsule is therefore sold in the category of dietary supplements. A visit to the doctor or purchase at the pharmacy is not necessary for this product. While men should experience a noticeable increase in their own libido by taking this product, this result cannot be transferred 1:1 to women. The target group is therefore limited to men of full age who have developed potency problems and would like to get a grip on them without chemical aids.Click Here https://www.marketwatch.com/press-release/vital-alpha-testo-...

No, I wouldn't make anywhere near that number of DNS requests, but the setup would be the same - a caching, forwarding nameserver doing a MITM between my networks and nextDNS.

True. I originally jumped in to object to the original poster’s idea that trying to control retention is pointless or impossible. There are too many variables that go into how much is objectively retained and for how long, especially since not every subject, author or title is read for the same purpose so success varies. I would, though, assume Bill Gates could retain 90% of a given book with less context than most people would need, i.e. retain a higher volume of new information than most people. That would be true whether measuring retention of everything in the book or just the new parts.
It's about being related to what you knew because you have more connections to make, the info itself is still novel.
Because the ugly side of those businesses remains.

And yes I believe licensing matter, and open source is too general a term.

Redundancy is not backup based on industry standard terms. Redundancy protects against some hardware failures but not accidental deletes, filesystem corruption, malware, or a whole host of other things.

Even filesystems with snapshots can be lost and snapshots are the only time you can start blurring the lines between redundancy and backups in terms of protecting against data loss via deletes etc. And they are still not proper backups as you can still have a hardware failure significant enough to wipe out all your data.

A backup is a separate copy of data, either on separate hardware or off-site or a other combinations. Based on best practices and standard terminology.

No one uses "redundancy" to refer to separate copies of data especially when discussing RAID in contexts like this discussion. So the only interpretation of your comment is the weak one that I responded to.
No, I don't _really_ need Linux crossover. I greatly prefer a Linux CLI environment as that's been how I've been comfortable as a developer for nigh-on three decades now.

No, we don't/won't support a Linux port of our product at this time, and as a primary developer it's not worth my time to be hassled by it.

But WSL1 is _so nice_. I've fought with MSYS, MSYS2, Cygwin, various other bash environments and such, and I find none are quite as good as WSL1+X410.

And, let's be honest, if WSL2 is just another VM then it's a worse product than the other VMs that are available and far more mature. Hell, Canonical's Multipass is as good or better.

I really don't get why they went the VM route with WSL2. It seems to totally wipe out any advantage that WSL had over the other VM products.

A little bit too soon to give advice on how to be productive after only two months. You haven't conquered laziness unless you're consistently productive over the course of the years and that state becomes your normal.

Most people have these bursts of productivity for a short time that follows a slump and a realization.

Sometimes you try new technique and that trust in the technique provides enough motivation to get you going for a while.

But in fact, relying on a technique is relying on outside factors not having trust in you. Trust in yourself is the beginning of the lasting change.

> The end goal is to push consumers to end up storing all their data in the cloud.

Do you really think seagate, toshiba, and WD want you to move your data to the cloud? They dont have any particular commercial interest there. Theyre just another set of commodity input providers to the Amazon/Google/Microsoft supply chains. The same as they are to dell/synnex/foxconn/lenovo when the drive is put in a different chassis and sold to you. Wheres the commercial motivation?

Personally, if I was a commodity supplier, Id much rather sell to you with a wholesale markup than negotiate with Amazon grinding out pennies from the price.
A sufficiently poorly done job is indistinguishable from nothing being done at all.

It's possible that it's impossible to do any better than they currently are, but as we don't have access to all of the data that they do, we cannot make that determination.

I think the homework her school gives out is a sensibly representative starting point. Why wouldn't it be?

That homework expects a reasonable understanding of fractions. Enough that the child doing them can understand the difference between the number of slices in a pie being representative of the bottom number of a fraction.

Sure, I do math exercises with my daughter that aren't representative of what they teach in school (square roots, the fact that parallel lines _do_ meet at the vanishing point in the real world, etc). But those things aren't what I'm basing my assumptions are; the expectations the school has of her are.
Delphi doesn't get the respect it deserves and C# people are mean.
This is the same advice we received in NZ.
It’s a really good crash course on the shared origins of Delphi and C# plus a brief reminder of all the modern features offered by Delphi that have flown under the radar, but the anger and emotion is rather immature and really detracts from the argument. Those words could have been better spent selling its strengths further.

That aside, things have changed rapidly in the last five years in the C#/.NET world first with .NET Native then with .NET Core and CoreRT. Exciting times, really.
Yup. If you tie your self worth to your productivity then it makes emotionally difficult tasks even more difficult.

Ask yourself:

'Why do I want to make this change?'

'Why does doing this thing make me feel bad?'

The answer to the first question is just for you and it should be solid. If you don't believe it then it's not going to work. The answer to the second question is usually either because you have had a bad experience in the past or because it's enough out of your comfort zone that it challenges your identity. It takes a lot less than you would imagine to challenge your identity.

If you can work through these issues a little bit before you start on your journey of change and continue working on them as you go it will be a much smoother ride and you will be far less likely to give up. It involves being OK with negative emotion during the act and taking the time to process those feelings afterwards.

The cool thing is this doesn't just apply to productivity but anything you want to change in
your life. Sometimes you need change and sometimes you are just guilting yourself into doing things other people told you were good for you. That is why you start by asking 'why?'.
