A good question. Here's an attempt at a reply..

- You're trying to retain 5, not the 50.. the other 45 are objectively not-critical to the enterprise (in the sense we could eliminate or replace those roles).

- A large fraction of the 45 are basically screwed in the job market; most of them were older, had decades of very specific experience, or had worked their way up in an organization that valued effort/loyalty over credentials. Milking another decade of work in their current role has life changing consequences for these workers and their families. Many of them were primary breadwinners in a bad area, so their job was the last line of defense between a respectable lower-middle class existence and the trailer park for them and their kids.

- Current reality was not reflective of long run potential. If we could stabilize the business, not only would the 50 jobs in question be preserved but there was an opportunity to rebuild and hire back. (feel good moment: this actually occurred. The team was able to restart key areas of the facility and we rehired some manufacturing people)

Young, highly educated people have no concept of the degree of privilege they enjoy in the labor markets. That degree opens doors and you don't get tossed out the instant some hiring manager sees a little grey hair. You don't have 30 years of experience which immediately becomes the leading reason NOT to hire you for a job because someone thinks you're incapable of learning anything new.

Life basically sucks past 50...

I would have thought the visa itself is de facto recognition that they are separate countries.
I think they mean that you pay both 25c to them and 35c to Stripe.
> "ought to be content"
Well, maybe they "ought to", but would they in practice? Unlike the typical employee, executives would generally have enough "fuck you money" to ride out the difficult period from the comfort of their vacation homes. And I'd say most of them would have done enough networking and schmoozing to not worry too much about their next role.

> "It's not as if there's a shortage of employees or execs to go around right now"
I don't think that there not being a shortage of execs would help the company significantly, since the company wouldn't have much to offer to attract experienced people, and in any case doesn't have the time to wait for the new people to ramp up.
If the problem is money, they should just say so. The "but the outcomes" talk is still a lie.

Also US healthcare is so grossly inefficient it doesn't make sense to look at one cost center in isolation from a policy perspective, only from a the perspective of private sector actors I think shouldn't exist.

at the same time, if you go to this year's ICML papers and ctrl-F "policy", there are several RL papers that come up with a new variant on policy gradient and validate it using only relatively small computing resources on simpler environments without any claim of being state of the art. probably many would directly benefit from this well-optimized policy gradient code.

I'm not saying that the end user is blameless BUT responsibility comes with agency/power:

- the end user has no way to measure the exact impact of his/her actions. The government does.

- the end user does not have advice from PhD in chemistry, neurology, psychology, law, economy. The government does.

- the end user has no choice to buy from an ethical and legal source. The government can.

- the end user cannot publicly ask for help (or forgiveness) of any kind. The government would imprison him/her.

- the end user might be living a very harsh life and have little ability to stop using or not to start. The government does not help.

Not trying to be provocative here, but I've read on this subject for years and the any time I've seen it measured it points to your assertion here as being deeply deeply wrong. I don't have the energy to gather the links, but pretty much everything written by anyone credible concluded that _milliseconds matter_. Don't take my word for it, though.
> I am not equipped to assess the biological evidence [...] I would argue this puts the probability of a lab escape above 50%.

That's exactly the faulty reasoning right there.
I don’t see how it’s obtuse. The morality of paying an executive disproportionately more is the same morality as paying a worker in the US disproportionately more than a worker in a poorer country.

At the end of the day, everyone is looking out for themselves and their immediate tribes first, and everyone takes what they can get. However, society is more harmonious when the delta is not too great. The US simply also had the luxury of having a delta of two oceans and huge amounts of space.

I am afraid, I would not use it. As others pointed it out, login is such a small part of a system that it's not worth employing a 3rd party service to get it working.
Also, using this service requires trust. I personally don't use nor implement FB, Google, etc logins either as I don't trust them.

No.

If my app is small, I'll roll my own or use the free tier from Auth0 or Okta.

If my app gets big, I'll roll my own or pay for Auth0 or Okta.

Like a lot of SAAS ideas, a login service is: too critical to trust with an unknown, already a mature SAAS offering elsewhere, and easy enough to implement yourself if you don't want to pay for it.

You pedantic rant aside, you didn't actually explain your point. How does paying large bonuses to executives protect the interest of creditors? I'm no expert but this sounds like how a person declaring bankruptcy might max out their credit cards at the apple store then sell them off for cash on Craigslist. I.e. Draining the bank so it doesn't go to creditors.

This same pool of money used for gratuitous bonuses could also be paying worker severance, so you justifying it as otherwise moral is exactly the GP's point.
Sorry, but no. Even after the first tweet that I saw from Gates' account I immediately told people there is a hack in progress. Simply because the contents of the tweet did not make sense. Bill Gates is not going to ruin his reputation like that and asking for $1000 to send $2000 back is nonsense, a $.01 would have been enough to signal intent, $1000 is a clear indication you're being had.
Indeed, after some testing, the filtering is much better.

I’ll try to make this clearer, thanks for the feedback! You’d pay both, the Loginland fee on top of Stripe’s rate. (This is a pretty common pricing model for platforms – BuyMeACoffee has a similar 5% rate on top of Stripe). Open to suggestions! :)
A fun take from the currently defunct SlateStarCodex was buying "offsets" for activities you wanted to support. Carbon offsets for plane trips already exist, in the range of $30 to $150 or so.

In theory, you could find someone who normally eats meat and offer them some amount of money per day to be vegetarian/vegan (or, find two people and pay them to halve their meat intake, or whatever). This might satisfy a moral obligation while costing you in a currency that you're happier to spend.

The obvious argument is "why not buy offsets and then also not do the bad thing for 2x effect". I don't think anyone's morally obligated to buy carbon offsets arbitrarily even if they're not flying, and similarly, maybe people aren't obligated to not do the bad thing either? But this gets into the weeds of moral obligation in general, which is probably a complex topic. Suffice to say, while buying an offset might cost some amount of money, not eating meat is ~free, and that's a trade some people may be willing to make if they're feeling obliged to reduce meat production too.
As dumb as that is, that's an extremely un-dramatic thing to point to as some kind of counterexample to the parent's point, which seems to stand in spite of the people at your workplace.
Honestly, you are not making any sense. This is not how engineering works. If you design for resilience, you get more resilience and you build confidence as you see the evidence how the system works in real world. Furthermore, with resilience you have to always cover all risks, it's just that you don't immediately reach fine granularity of decisions that don't trigger failover to servers in different countries, you improve granularity as you learn from actual operations and modify your designs accordingly.

I remember when I first deployed DNS routed system it was too reactive, constantly jumping between servers, monitoring was too sensitive, it didn't wait for servers to stabilize to return them into the mix and exponential backoff was taking servers out for far too long. But even given all that it was still able to avoid outages caused by data center failures and connectivity problems.
Comparing wet market vs. lab escape based on numbers of each isn't that useful to analyze.

For one thing, those are far from the only places the virus could have jumped to humans. (In fact, investigations of early cases in Wuhan show that while the market appears to be the site of a super spreader event, it wasn't the origin of the spread of the virus in humans.)

Also, by comparing counts of wet markets and bio labs, you ignore that the likelihood of spread from each are not comparable -- they'd have to have something like the same order of magnitude of likelihood for your analysis to have meaning. Obviously, that's rather unlikely to be true.

> You can't conclude anything with absolute certainty doing this kind of probabilistic analysis

I don't think you can conclude anything from your analysis considering all the holes in it.
That would have been fine. A DoS is not nearly as bad a what could have happened had the attackers pressed their luck or been more malicious.

Another comment says something similar but I'll restate it. `$emit()` is still available on components and parents can still listen for them, this is just removing it from the `Vue` instance so that people don't create global (or scoped) event busses (which thankfully I don't do).

You can still do

// Child
myFunc() {
this.$emit('thing-happened', {});
}

// Parent
<child-component @thing-happened="reactToThing" />

They are even adding the ability for the child to define what types of events they emit (I'm super excited for the autocomplete possibilities for this and how people implement it in TS) and add validation logic to the events they define (like not emitting if the data isn't valid/in the right state).

I got REALLY worried/confused when I saw the parent's comment because I was so confused at how to alert the parent of something in the child but it looks like everything is fine.

Obama has a huge following (larger than Trump in fact) and I can think of a couple of tweets by that account that would have led to some serious trouble.
I agree with kenji's (dead) comment.

I'd rather set up login functionality on my own server. If you use a third party service, their downtime becomes your downtime. Worse, you're injecting another company into your relationship with your users. If that were necessary, I'd choose one the customer was already familiar with, like Google, Facebook or Twitter.

Setting up login isn't very difficult and libraries exist for most webdev languages to make it even easier. It's definitely not worth 5% of my revenue.
I am currently using Auth0 which has all the cool functionality of logging in with 3rd party services, user management, and so forth. I think I am paying them $25/m to use it, something fairly trivial but non-zero.

If I were getting started with logins again, I'd say I could pay you $250 one time just to download all the code, and roll it out on my own systems in minutes. This way I'd have user auth with easiest setup, and no need to reinvent it on my own. Probably.

But, are you just testing things, or is Login.land real? Since your own login system asks for password, instead of email-based auth like you are showing in the screenshots, I suspect that maybe this is just a test :)
"BGP is a liability to society" seems a bit polarizing. Any system when told do to stupid stuff by a human via configuration will usually do stupid stuff. The right answer isn't to replace the underlying system.
It’s not free if you ask for a share, therefore the title is misleading. Maybe title “I built a simple login service” would be more fitting. However, I would need to question simplicity as checking your email is far away from simplicity UX wise.
I wouldn’t use your service if you would pay me to use it. Comparing your service with Stripe is just ridiculous...

Is there a price point at which you would consider using something like this?
Mythic comment.
I'm using nouveau so that could be.
I have to say I'm personally pretty allergic to fees. Even Stripe's fees are above what I really feel comfortable with, but I'd probably pay those to deal with payments less. Anything above 1% and I'd probably be out, to be honest.

As an alternative to a fixed percent, I'd feel a lot better about a model where the fee gets progressively less with a larger amount of users. This may or may not be a personal thing.

Instead of (or along with) controlling emissions, how about increasing removal?

Methane is primarily removed from the atmosphere by reaction with reactive free radicals, like hydroxyl.

We could increase the oxidizing power of the troposphere by releasing low concentrations of chlorine gas. Dilute Cl2 in strong sunlight is rapidly (in about 10 minutes) broken into chlorine radicals, which react very quickly with hydrocarbons, extracting a hydrogen atom to make hydrogen chloride.

The amount of chlorine that would be needed to be released to counter anthropogenic methane emissions would be roughly the amount currently being made by the global chloralkali industry.

I see some issues that would have to be addressed: releasing the chlorine in such a way that it starts dispersed enough that local toxicity isn't a problem, and such that very little makes it to the stratosphere; acidification from the HCl; oxidation of atmospheric Hg(0) to the much more toxic Hg(II)), but at first glance these don't seem to be showstoppers.

The interaction of Cl with other tropospheric chemistry might be an issue. For example, it might reduce production of OH, but doing the release in cooler areas might avoid most of that. And it might also reduce tropospheric ozone and perhaps even destroy nitrous oxide, another powerful persistent greenhouse gas.

Taken to a limit, one might also imagine stripping almost all methane from the troposphere, including natural inputs. This would cause a negative greenhouse forcing. Not enough to counteract increases in CO2, but every little bit helps.
There is more nuance and ambivalence. A lot more.

But I don't think it has much to do with being woke or not. We always had and will always have people that challenge the status quo of society and those that oppose a change.

Change is neither inherently good or bad and not every single initiative, argument and action within an movement is well tough out or helpful.

Event tough better political discourse and less shouting would help, I think in the end it is pretty much unavoidable that at times "the baby gets thrown out with the bathwater"

I started using the Mindset app the last time I read about it on HN, maybe a month or so ago. I've found it to be very useful--in addition to therapy, meditation and self-help videos on YouTube--in helping me fight some depression, low self-esteem and guilt that I've been trying to resolve. I hope that your app catches on and more people realize that "focusing sessions" can help them detach from work, social media, and their own toxic thoughts about themselves.

Two pieces of feedback for you though. First, once someone does a program, it seems that there are unlimited "reinforcement stages" where you repeat the program again to reinforce the learnings. It would be nice to cap the reinforcement stages at say, 3 stages, to encourage users to feel a sense of completion and either try the other programs or just repeat the whole program again. Second, I think a program centered around facing one's past would be really useful--at least, I'd use it. Other than that, I think the app is really well done, and congratulations to you and Michael Yapko on your hard work.
Very compelling.
I thought this wasn't talked about because we all understand the limitations, accept them, and still find value. This sounds like a maturity thing, not a tool thing.
