I think your reply proves my point that it's not really about democracy at all. It's just about a fervent defense of the current undemocratic and unjust private property relations.

What do you expect to find in constitutions written by free market economies?

> The concept is likewise enshrined in Article 17 of the UN Declaration of Human Rights

False, it was left intentionally vague to not explicitly endorse private property in the capitalist sense.

> The "overhaul" you're talking about is in and of itself a totalitarian violation of human rights.

That's also on point for Propertarianism. Where private property has been sacralized and to argue against it is against the law of nature, even if it's wrong and unjust. "The King declared that absolute monarchy is a divine right and any resistance is thus blasphemy and shall be dealt with accordingly".
Where does the author get the idea that sustainable growth is no longer possible? Even setting aside how unfair it is to tell the global poor they've had enough growth when we've had 10x more, the claim isn't even true for developed countries. Rich countries are comfortably able to grow at rates higher than 1% a year (which, thinking long-term, is 2.7x in 100 years) and there is no reason to suspect that decarbonization will put a serious dent in that. The author seems to believe that growth is predicated solely on physical inputs, when in reality institutions and human capital are the real drivers.
It is a tutorial for stringing together a bunch of tools to transcode a video to multiple formats, upload it to S3, and pull that to a cheap CDN (that does get complimented heavily).

And it spawned a great discussion about self-hosting.
If you keep much of a website simple - plain html and css - won't that reduce the need for a CDN in the first place?

The wapo article was garbage (really, 3 sentences?) , but I found the michigan advance ariccle informative. I still don't agree with your conclusions, but now know there is a questionable track record in Detroit. I think the connection between Devos and charters and her influences is overstated, as they existed in numerous states long before she held any federal positions.
> Another option, the one that occurs in practice now is for the value to get split between the counterparty taking on risk (Citadel, in the form of less toxicity on orders), the customer (the Robinhood client, in the form of price improvement over the national bid/offer), and Robinhood themselves for sourcing the flow (a commission or payment).

According to the WSJ, compared to other brokerages, Robinhood disproportionately takes that value to themselves [1]. Part of the reason why it's so lucrative for them is that they're steering their clients to options trading, where the incentive payments from the market makers are much higher. I think this quote from the WSJ tells the whole story:

One executive with a high-speed trading firm that executes orders for Robinhood said its price improvement is much worse than that of competing brokers.

Our civilization, and presumably any other industrial civilization on earth, utilizes huge quantities of steel reinforced concrete. While the structures may only last decades, the material would be recognizably unnatural for hundreds of millions of years. There is no natural process which would produce limestone with veins of high concentration iron ore running through, nonetheless produce it everywhere on earth in a huge variety of conditions. Further, all the deposits of this weird mineral combination would form at the same time, and this period would be a blink of an eye geologically speaking. While there may be theories other than industrial civilization put forward, but it would be obvious to everyone that something incredibly weird happened at the time that civilization existed, and detailed investigation would certainly find other technosignatures once they knew where to look.

The problem starts if the state wants to save money and skills in intelligence to work around common challenges of anonymous services. The real criminals attacking the constitution often can invest time and money into unbreakable anonymization, such things mostly hinder easy access to privacy by the normal citizen like me.

The german government has really a long record of distrusting anonymization starting with ISDN mixes and denouncing their users. But also little things like one time credit cards seem to be restricted only because it would take an extra step to link the data in a real criminal case.

And regarding data protection: it was big on paper in germany for a long time but only because nearly nobody was actually sued. Now everyone shits their pants here about the GDPR because you at least there are fines ( the rules did not change much). At the same time even with the GDPR we only trusted other german corps with data as corrupt or leaky they may be and not other Europeans.

I agree with the OP that there are double standards here. But mostly it is just a history great theoretical ethics combined with technical incompetence and the deep national feeling of moral superiority...

High availability is an insurance game, and perhaps we need to start treating it that way.

Rather than admitting that your customers need to maintain a business relationship with your competitors, you need to admit you need to maintain a business relationship with your competitors. That we need a moral equivalent of underwriting in the cloud space.
"This did not rule out the use of paper notes, as long as they could be exchanged for specie. [...] The guarantee, which still appears on banknotes to this very day, of the promise to pay the bearer on demand the requisite sum in hard cash"

I certainly did notice this and in a bank, pointed out the "the promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of five pounds" and asked to be paid. The unlucky teller didn't know what to do. I didn't press her. I didn't realise until reading this what that was supposed to mean; she should have given me actual gold. TIL as they say.

Fair enough point.

I would argue that you can't really take issue with calling it a subsidy unless you're willing to take issue with the unpriced externalities.

If a government refuses to price them in it's effectively the same as directly subsidizing the present generations at expense of future ones.

You responded to me.

In what specific way is its legality relevant? The bare observation that it’s illegal doesn’t mean anything.
I mean, that's not a trick. That's totally legitimate. Obviously it means there's a chain of trust here - if Forbes is incorrect, then articles that cite it will also be incorrect. But that's the same as when citing an original paper.

(Obviously there is some difference - two different takes on the same original source are better than one take on a source, and another take on the first take - but it's not invalid or wrong to do this IMO.)
a better affordance might be a wealth tax that supports grants to individuals and organizations pushing for structural change, perhaps encouraging civic participation and jumpstarting economic opportunity in disadvantaged regions. a fixed and constant cycle of money that distorts economic, political, and social incentives is not the only way, nor even a good way, i'd contend.
I guess I have a hard time understanding how you would answer “what” questions in that position other than simply doing what customers asked. If you really didn’t need to add any new features other than what customers directly asked for I can kinda see how it would work. But how would you know how to advise customers on workarounds/that they are using the product wrong, or a future product roadmap, if you can’t see the product from a customer standpoint?
I’m sure you could be an effective project manager in that position but to lead a product’s development without fully understanding how it’s used is a bit suspect to me.
I'd argue that Mastodon is less immune, at least if their vision of true distributed comes to fruition.

In Twitter's case, it came down to some pretty poor opsec and could have been avoided. Ultimately you're going to have at most N points of failure. With security keys, the number of points of failure in Twitter could have been reduced to one (and that one user could be proactively educated).

In Mastodon, every user is potentially in control of their instance. Every user is a potential point of failure. Users routinely fall victim to social engineering each day, possibly someone is this very second.
Are there any e-ink displays that are touchscreen? I did a whole lot of searching and couldn't find any.
One of the hard things to get right when writing one of these "Tips for being a great X" is that they're usually written from the point of view of someone who is a clear leader in their field.

With some exceptions, the people who write this sort of article have the confidence (or presumption) to see themselves as ahead of the pack. It is rare to see articles like this written by teams of people who, in cooperation, balance tasks like product management, architecture, engineering, operations and customer success between them. And yet that is, imo, the best way to do it.

When I read and article like this advising the reader to do X to "their team" (in this case let your team get on with work), it falls into this category where the "how to be a great X" applies to a particular structure - where "X" is somehow in control of the rest of the team, rather than an equal participant.

Until relatively recently, the cloud didn't exist.
Unless you're sending all your traffic back to physical machines that you own locked into a cage in a datacenter, you are probably letting someone MITM your SSL traffic. For example if you are hosting on AWS, Amazon has access to your keys. If you are hosting on a hardware server leased from Hetzner, Hetzner has access to your keys.

When a 3rd party has access to your keys, their responsibilities to you are spelled out in your contract with them. That's true for CDNs as well as hosting companies.

Saying URI instead of URL may be technically correct sometimes but it does seem needlessly confusing.

Ask HN: How would you introduce a fresh candidate into your line of work?
You're in your current position, and HR decided to hire a new candidate showing a lot of potential.

Upon meeting them, you realize the candidate is an earlier version of you.

You are to train them for your current role, and set them up for future success. When done, the candidate will forget your involvement but retain the training.

Ask HN: Do seniors feel that preserving their legacy is important?

And on the flip side, do you, as someone with elderly parents/grandparents, feel that you'd like to know more about them?

Even in research papers... often the summary isn't supported by the paper, it's often over-stated, simplified or outright lying.

Also, this is a huge part of why I don't like paywalls for research paid for by govt funding. It's really easy to get a summary, but actually getting to read the thing takes work, money or access that the general public doesn't have.

What are you talking about? Have you used a proper Japanese input on Android or Google?

They are paired, vowels first and then phonetically.

On Android and iOS,

あうえおい
A, u, e, o, i
かくけこき
Ka, ku, me, ko, ki
さすせそし
Sa, su, se, so, shi

The alphabet has no real existence in the Japanese language, it is a different language and romaji is bad to pick up, but the characters are grouped together to enable fast typing and auto detection of grammar and Kanji.

--

Then with any proper keyboard, you can change the input setting so you do not need a Japanese keyboard, you can write solely phonetically via a English keyboard and have the software correct it , which I think is annoying because you have to type two keyboard inputs for one character.
They aren't all good ideas. Start with your goals.

Do you want to "build something" where you follow through all the way to launch and hit some # of users that will feel like you "did it"?

Do you want to replace your day job? Do you want to raise funding and explode into the sun? Do you want to learn specific things throughout the process?

After you know why you want to work something, then rank your possible projects through the lens of "most likely to achieve my goals".

Lots to consider during that process: how excited you are about the thing, dogfooding opportunities, market size, competitive landscape, problem scale, technical challenges, business overhead (admin required beyond just coding the product).

Without any additional context I'd suggest building something that: you'll use (helps with motivation and you are your first user), will stretch your skills and challenge you to improve weaknesses (even if it fails, you've grown), can be launched then improved and extended through incremental iteration (avoid an all-or-nothing megaproject).
I dislike your use of the word "literally" immediately preceding something that did not, in fact, literally happen.

You should be able to hack React to do what I'm suggesting (playbacks), though last time I looked at the source code I got a bit confused and gave up.

It's historically been such a battle to deal with E2E tests and changing code, but if this playback idea works well then the interop should be relatively seamless. It might require an over-engineered React app, though, which is likely the biggest issue.

If this is true, why does the share price go up? Who is buying the stock after the short-term play? Is the market just dumb, and the only people who know the truth are the disgruntled-ex management who complain to the media about short-termism?

My perspective is that activist actions do incur some risk but have positive expected value in the long run. There are horror stories, but overall they create value, which is why people continue to invest in them.

I agree it’s possible to get stuck in local optima, but it’s awfully convenient for many CEOs to be in that situation. I suppose everyone who isn’t already running a trillion dollar company is in a local optima, if you think about it. It’s hard to blame shareholders for getting fed up after enough years of that and saying enough is enough, maybe you aren’t ever going to climb the mountain and should go to that local optima instead.

> it isn't uncommon that everything from implicit best practices to "hidden" decision processes to even customer complaints only ever get recorded in code reviews

That sounds like something to fix. If something is important enough that people will want to know it when working on the code later, it belongs in either a comment or a change description. When I have to reference old code review discussions it is extremely helpful to have them, but ideally you do need them only very rarely. We both recognize that these are valuable, where we differ is that I don't think they are so valuable that they need the kind of uptime you get from including them in a DVCS.

> striving for more distributed systems as an ideal?

Yes, I don't think this is very important. If it later becomes important it would be reasonable to integrate it into the DVCS.

I'm sure there is often a case of incompetence at play... however, I'm also sure there is often an amount of dishonesty to say the least and outright evil at worst when news organizations do this.

Another problem is not understanding the differences that statistics play in terms of how those statistics are gathered (controlled experiment vs epidemiological study for example).
That was one contributing factor. There have been a lot of high profile scandals and this has led regulators to be far stricter. Eg we're not allowed to have personal phones in the office and must go to special areas in the building to use them. Some organisations confiscate phones (and I hear shoes) on entry; although I think this is more a concern about proprietary information.
Well, it really depends on the timeframe. If we need a new one every two years, no problem. If every six months, that’s worse.

Current flu vaccine coverage is 24-50% depending on jurisdiction, once per year. So, aiming at, say, 80% coverage twice per year would be 3-6x the current level of flu vaccination effort.

Yes, occasionally, under a VM (and at least one of our alpha testers has tested it on a period-correct machine). Windows 95 support isn't perfect; Hardware Cursors don't work properly (an option that didn't exist in WA v3.0) although that has a simple workaround – disabling them. And the game's taskbar button sticks on the taskbar after the game has been closed, disappearing only after being clicked. Other than that it works fine as far as we're aware.
Inflation is expected to be 0.6% this year and 1.6% next year by CBO. The 5 year Inflation-indexed Treasury (TIPS) market is implying inflation of 1.6%. Prices on commodities and rent prices in major cities are mostly flat to down. Prices of imports are low and stable on average. So if you are observing signs of inflation, you are not living in the US or using the US Dollar.
I think it's different for me to build something small, and seeing how others use it is my biggest motivation.
