>> It isn't that hard to get $20k in funding if your idea is halfway decent - that's not the value that YC provides. The value that YC provides is in the networking and connections

It's very hard in most countries - Coming from someone who has been applying constantly for 10 years. At one point I even managed to get invited to some events and conferences where a specific seed stage investor was going and I approached him enough times at different events that I was eventually able to secure coffee with the guy; took 2 years from when I started trying to get investment. Then this investor encouraged me to apply to their incubator... Then they just rejected me. My open source project was one of the most popular in Australia at the time. I had worked on it for several years and I had a solid business strategy and I could really have benefited from $20K and any kind of support network (I was never asking for YC level business connections, just some help me get 1 foot in the door with 1 B2B customer would have been great).

BTW my project was more than 'halfway decent'. As proof, today my project powers multiple mainstream tech projects and several major blockchain projects and I'm collecting forging rewards on one of them. Did it with $0 funding and most people I met actively working against me instead of helping me. Got screwed over so many times.

I don't think my case is unusual. What happened to me is just average.

The thing is that in spite of it being so difficult to secure a mere $20K, this whole experience did not make me believe that fiat money is valuable. It did the exact opposite. So now I'm dedicating my career to the fight against fiat money.

> It is literally the president’s job to command the military.

Even if one views the Tweet as a legitimate military command, which it is not, unless the government has seized Twitter with just compensation as required by the 5th Amendment, it is not Twitter's obligation to ignore its own standard sfor the purpose of relaying such orders by the President.

Otherwise, except as to explaining why Twitter opted for the public interest notice rather than simple removal, the President’s job is irrelevant here.

> If he gives a warning that looting will lead to shooting, it is not glorifying violence.

That doesn't follow from the preceding, and the statement as written glorifies violence, both potential future violence and specific historical violence by the government against it's citizens, in much better the same way (though far more proximate historically and thus much worse) that it would if Trump said “Kill them all, and God will know his own.”

> It is a statement of fact.

It is quite possible to state a fact (or make a threat which one has the power to declare execute, which is more the case here than statement of fact) while glorifying the outcome that would be produced and/or the past historical antecedent which is invoked.

In my office they bought a Nintendo Switch. Everyone stood around and has a go at it, then it is never touched again.

That's basically the state of Nintendo as it exists today.

See? Means nothing and it's just as true as your statement, the thing is collecting dust.

For me this is a perfect example of wishful thinking.

It's really hard for average person to accept reality: This virus, like all others, will last for a long time. We won't have, in a foreseeable future, a treatment neither a cure. Cancer, HIV or even seasonal flue are good examples examples of diseases that were discovered decades ago for which science still don't have a cure, there are a few treatments or easing medication, but none of them can be actually cured.

I expect that people will move from crazy solution to another on a regular basis until a final cure is found.. my expectation is this will last for years.
Sweden’s Economy Grew Last Quarter, Adding to Covid-19 Debate
Great! No strong thoughts on a specific key. Maybe Shift-F, or Shift-F10? Or Esc-F, since another comment suggested Esc as a general prefix key?
I'm not ridiculing Redox at all, if you read further down the thread I give credit top them where credit is due, although I think they will have an uphill battle unless they receive some major corporate backing at some point. I save my ridicule for the frothing at the mouth C/C++ haters jeering from the sidelines who seem to that think that that battle is already won.

Linux grew rapidly in part because there was already a huge amount of C programmers on the Internet as well as UNIX admins, and Linux was reimplementing a fairly well known set of API's. Rust/Redox don't have quite the same head start. I wish them every success though.
I talk about this in my reply in the thread but psychs have actually helped me a lot with controlling my intrusive thoughts and loops, essentially CBT practice. It's like a hurricane of them each time you trip and to stay positive you really have to practice turning self-defeating negativity into something either positive or that you realize is just BS.

Not sure if you've tripped but the thought loops you get stuck in there are insane, it's complete tunnel vision and you really need your inner monologue to stop and interpret what's going on. I often write out the negative thoughts/beliefs I start feeling then start working through whether they're true, false, completely made up.. They're almost always the latter thankfully.

This is my comment on the other HN thread about this:

> The phrase was used by Miami's police chief, Walter Headley, in 1967, when he addressed his department's "crackdown on ... slum hoodlums," according to a United Press International article from the time.

> Headley, who was chief of police in Miami for 20 years, said that law enforcement was going after “young hoodlums, from 15 to 21, who have taken advantage of the civil rights campaign. ... We don't mind being accused of police brutality."

This is where the quote comes from.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/where-does-phrase-...

Edit:

https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-quotes-cop-sparked-rac...

> The National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence found that Headley's remarks and policing policies had been a significant factor in sparking the riots.

> Headley died four months after the riots. The Times in its obituary noted his policies had caused "growing resentment" among black Miami residents.

Our President fully understands the gravity of those words. This is what he wanted to say. This is what he meant. This is what he believes. This is WHO HE IS.

Second... include a screenshot of the a live form, not just the backend of form submissions.

Third, for extra credit... create a simple video of using the tool end to end.

Best of luck!
If you point a gun at someone they don't necessarily do as you wish. In military situations the personnel are trained (some might say brainwashed) to sacrifice themselves; which should be relatively easy when the alternative is that all your family die from radiation poisoning (or obliteration if they're lucky).

Arguably in some regimes chain-of-command is a greater incentive than a gun as retaliation against families (for "treason"/cowardice) seems reasonably common.
With free speech it gets interesting how you interpret it. One interpretation, which I think Trump is using, is that "laws come last". There is a principle that says free speech should be protected and laws only come to cover the cases where the principle can be infringed. So twitter, in this interpretation, would be correct according to current law, but would stand on the wrong side with regards to a higher value of upholding the principle.

However there is another interpretation which says that ability to remove someone from your private business is also an expression of free speech. And that private companies as well as individuals are free to choose who they do business with. But there is one nuance here - this is better served under another principle which is "freedom of association". Freedom of association states that you can refuse to deal with anyone you don't like. However in USA this principle recently lost its value after certain group of Christians were not allowed to refuse baking a cake for a gay couple. So it seems there are certain protections.

But then there is a third thing which is that in some countries (and I am not sure here about USA) the president has the right to send a message using any media channel he sees fit, and the media channel cannot refuse. Informing and communicating with the public is one of president's duties and refusing to send his message infringes upon it. If USA has such a law and if Twitter could be interpreted as a media platform then it could be against the law for Twitter to do what it is currently doing. Unlikely thou, as twitter has a team of lawers and likely they were consulted beforehand.

> Zooming all the way out I don't see why Twitter really care about such a fight

Companies are ran by people and those people take political sides. Twitter is on the democratic party side, and the election season is coming. I predict we will se a bigger coordinated effort spanning Google, Youtube, and Twitter, and some other big corporations as we get closer to USA president election date.
I feel like Vitamin D deficiency correlates with every disease. A large % of everyone has a vitamin D deficiency so there is always a high correlation.
My guess: It might not make _the_ difference whether you _get_ it, but it's not at all unlikely (given all the evidence that has accumulated so far & extrapolation from experience w/ other viral respiratory infections) that it will influence disease severity significantly.

As someone who recently added a "fremium" / "free for solo developers" tiers to their form service this is fascinating.

We give you unlimited forms but gate on submissions, offering more features / submissions in higher tiers etc.

Reading the blog it doesn't look like there is anything malicious about selling user data or some "you are the product"-type bait and switch, but with one dev and no financial incentive I don't see how he keeps this going (No knock to him, asking unlimited free work is a lot).

Forms seem like sort of a small thing, but you really want them to _work_. Having a whiff on even a contact form can miss a lead and looks bad. And if the service breaks, all of a sudden you have to change a bunch of source code pointing to a defunct service, and hope they have an export function.

It's not the power of the state, it's the power of a private entertainment business. You could choose to only watch open/free media like many of us do with software. It's out there.

> in a way that doesn't create an institution of intellectual property that makes the world better for everyone?

That question is loaded with your opinion (in particular the opinion I was suggesting is baseless) and so isn't really an answer at all... you want the world your way, I'm asking, beyond your opinion that it's "better for everyone" (ignoring artists, I guess), why you seem to think there's an issue of right/wrong here.

We have multiple vaccine candidates that based on early human trials, and animal trials are very likely to work. Sure it's possible all of them could fail, but I wouldn't set my bet on that.
Well they don't have to, but I think most companies are not going to spend time and money creating their own tracking tool like Hotjar and screen recording when they could spend those resources on their own product. Comparative economic advantages and all that.
Lowest point? You were the cradle of the Industrial Revolution! Sorry to break the news to you, but as more countries industrialize, Britain's relative position will only go down. 1960 was the high point from this perspective. On the other hand, the UK will still be a developed country.
Everyone is on board with each private platforms freedom to choose its content until it goes against their personal opinions: then, all of a sudden, the spaces of privately owned corporations are instead treated as if they belong to the public.

Net neutrality is important, because the digital infrastructure of the Internet is the "streets" of the digital world. Freedom of speech needs to be protected there, but when you're signing up for a free-of-charge social network that survives on advertising, you are literally soapboxing in a Walmart -- and it can't possibly be the civic duty of this metaphorical corporation to allow you to stay in there and disturb their business, rather than redirect you out into the street, or into your own place of business.

It’s not the “same stunt” in the US. Residents of all the incorporated territories, and all the unincorporated territories but Guam, are US citizens. The residents of Guam are US nationals that can apply for citizenship. Unlike subjects of the former British empire, all have a right to reside anywhere in the US.

The US system does not raise the same concerns about racism. There are different political subdivisions in the US with different relationships with the federal union. For example, those in Puerto Rico don’t pay federal taxes. Washington DC has no independent sovereignty, unlike the states, etc. But those distinctions aren’t based on race or nationality (everyone is a US national). And in many respects they are mutual decisions. Puerto Rico has repeatedly rejected ballot measures to become a state. If a Puerto Rican person wants to vote in US elections, they can just move to any other political subdivision of the US that is a full state.

Firstly, I think everyone (or at least, many people) has the exact same solipsistic colour question pop up at some point in childhood. It's a logical question to ask, and I'm not going to try to persuade you into any conclusion!

Secondly, if you're worried about taking psychedelics, don't take them. If you're intrigued, do more research, speak to more people, and see if your worries are diminished by the answers you find. If you feel more comfortable with the prospect of psychedelics after that, then maybe give one a try.

It's very important to be comfortable with the idea of taking psychedelics if you're going to get anything out of the experience.

It's highly unlikely (but not unprecedented) that you will do permanent harm, but you may have a temporarily unpleasant, or even just neutral, or boring experience.

Regarding your question, these feelings are more intense during an LSD trip, but it's the analysis and digestion of these feelings which, in part, can lead to a change in outlook after an LSD trip.

I advise, if you choose to try psychedelics, to be in a positive state of mind, be with one or more people who you know, love and trust, and to have at least one person present who doesn't take anything. This person is your spotter. They are there to ensure that you don't come to physical harm, and they can also help to remind you that the psychedelic state is temporary, and you will be fine, in the off chance you aren't having a good time. This person would ideally be somewhat experienced in the psychedelic experience,and also be a known, trusted friend.

I know this sounds complicated, and many may disagree with me, but it's my advice for first time psychedelic experimenters.
How I've tackled this problem in the past:

1. Create a 404.php (or whatever your preferred back-end is)
2. mod_rewrite real 404s to serve that script.
3. In that script have a lookup table/db/file that lists all the redirects you need.
4. Extract the requested URL from the server variables.
5. Use the lookup table to find the correct URL, and issue a 302 for it to the users browser.

It's kinda seamless, and I've been doing it for years.
Maybe no legal or justifiable reason I'm sure the cops had some sort of twisted reasoning behind.

You're right, my bad. However, I think "things could break" is ultimately a worse evil than "it might have vulnerabilities". This seems to be the main point of disagreement.

> It doesn't need to be like that. The copyright holder can still be compensated even if they can't stop you from publishing their stuff.

But on your terms instead of theirs? Why would you want to reduce my power of my creation? Won't that have a chilling effect on what I produce? Can't I charge whatever price I see fit for my own work?

If I were a chef, and it were possible for you to duplicate food, would you apply the same reasoning to my infinitely duplicated meals? I should be paid, but have no leverage myself in how / how much?

Edit: and let's say I have a valid reason for not wanting to cook for you, in particular; that choice also should be taken away from me? How do you see the role of artists in our society? Assembly line workers, churning out art for mass consumption?
They definitely have their place. For example, if the answer to one question affects which other questions are relevant it's nice not having to put down "not applicable" in a bunch of answer boxes.
That's really not giving credit at all to the current state of a lot of this tech, but especially VR. VR has absolutely gone mainstream with tons of people producing different headsets and making more and more investment into it. The new Half-Life game is now VR only, and in certain circles, like simulation experiences like racing or flight simulation, VR is constantly growing more and more market share.
Isn’t Google one of the last companies to let its contractors go at this point?

The iX systems blog linked above implies that:

- not all SMR drives seem to cause problems

- rebuilding on a non-fresh/cleard hard drive can have negative performance implications due to how SMR works

So my guess is that it's a problem with the firmware which can potentially be fixed. After which they could be used in a NAS, just aren't necessary as far as you might think. So I guess it's probably not looking too good for the lawsuites chances to cause much yield/discount.
Counterpoint, the numbers are very hopeful in reference to vitamin D, and we are discovering more things about covid than we have about flus in a long time. You have all eyes on this epidemic, our infrastructure cannot handle life right now. To view this as just another bug here to stay is to drastically underestimate the extremes people will go to.

I used to work near there[1] (and take prom dates on the spook show at the then abandoned Bevatron[2]); the Soviet stuff does have a distinct look to it. The US racks were filled with this grey stuff, generally put together rather haphazardly by EM techs, where the soviet stuff is vastly more .... designed. At least in these photos. Possibly because the control systems were for larger, longer lived technology. Though the 88 has had a pretty good run. By contrast the ALS control room looks like a devops room; just a bunch of Sun workstations. Just for contrast; the Dubna cyclotron in Russia is pretty equivalent to something like the Bevatron or 88", and it has that swoopy designed look to its control room[3].
