The idea of democratizing funding is always interesting. On one hand giving power to individuals and communities who may otherwise never have the opportunity to invest in companies in their Aha! moment is what we should strive for.

On the other hand this could lead to outrageous valuations made by founders who have the backing of devoted communities and taking advantage of their social capital. Thoughts?

Yes, I think the desensizing is the biggest problem and you get less interested about it all.
one the bright side, if it's destabilized enough then someone would be incentivized to build a better one.
You should also read Kahan's commentary on the book: https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~wkahan/EndErErs.pdf.

Also, note that since the publication of the End of Error, Gustafson has given up on the original variable-length unums described in the book and switched to "posits" (or "type III unums").
Speaking from experience, for hunting purposes this is a hell of a tool.
This really sounds like a use case for an anamorphic lens. Sure, it's a bit exotic for DSLR photography. But it certainly sounds like you had the budget for it.

Are we even looking at the same document?

It communicates nothing. Worst roadmap I've ever seen.
In the context of retiring early and planning for expenses, it's not out of touch. If someone is planning on retiring by their 50s, they surely have thought of health insurance and put it in their budget.
Our apps can't send emails, how can the whole system down !!!
My American colleagues living in London tend to disagree with you. It’s easy to accept the additional taxation when it’s not happening to you. When Uncle Sam is picking your pocket and giving little back in return, it’s a different story.
I would put it at pre-Korean war. So, about 70 years ago.

As a pretty avid finder of answers on SO, it's not surprising how much money people are willing to throw at this. It's one of the most useful resources on the internet, from my experiences.
France has a lot of domestic tourism, and to an extent European tourism. The economy has been rebounding faster than anticipated so I'm not sure the government would be keen on pulling its pants down to bring in tourists when it's already got more than enough bad press.
According to this table of "countries that travel the most" Americans will definitely notice: https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/countries-whose-citizens...
I wonder if it is a tit for tat type thing for other folks going to China?

It's hard to know. It's extra hard to know on outgoing as what I heard a while ago from someone from China (hard to know if they were really authoritative) was even if you qualified to go someplace else from inside China... your odds of approval was somewhat random / would ebb and flow.
I was under the apparently mistaken impression that NZ was one of the countries where I would have to pay US tax and NZ tax. I'm no opposed to paying more tax for sane healthcare or functional government. But paying two countries taxes would be prohibitive, and NZ is not exactly cheap.
The European Union tourism rules don't exclude Americans by citizenship, despite a lot of misinformation in media reports and even certain more half-official web pages like that of the Paris airport (but these mistakes are not in the legally binding national documents nor the official European Commission recommendation text). It cares about residence officially, or as applied by some countries, where you're coming from or where you've been recently. The FAQ in the Netherlands even specifically addresses the hypothetical example of Americans living in Australia - yes such people are allowed in.

So if you live in a safe country and haven't been elsewhere recently, you should be allowed in. I'm considering trying this next month (I'm an American in Canada), and I'm not looking forward to airline or border processing, but we'll see.

The CBC article that we're discussing gets it right and wrong at different points in the text. The headline says "citizens", the text correctly says "residents", but a lot of the focus is on the loss of value of the passport despite that not being the operative criterion. An Australian living in the US is barred from most European tourism right now, just like an American living in Australia isn't.
It's hard to tell the difference between a bribe and extortion.

"I'll give you $1M if you extend the copyright timeline."

"If you don't give me $1M I'll let your copyright expire."

Does anybody else believe that congresspeople should be paid $10M/yr, indexed to inflation? This would be a drop in the federal budget, but would do a lot I think to curb both bribery and extortion.
We can't possibly have enough data, and even enough time since the start of the pandemic to come to this conclusion. To know if something is seasonal, we must first let a couple of years pass and measure and compare the numbers with previous years, no?

Disclaimer: I am not an expert. I believe in science, and its conclusions. All I wanted to know is if there's enough data points to plot a long-term trend.
Ok so we know for sure that it's seasonal.

Got it.
I think the operative metric is how it would rank for US passport holders in a world where the us passport was entirely unrestricted. I.e. how much is the typical US passport holder losing out compared to their ideal preferences. I think the parent's point is accurate by that metric. I doubt that many Americans urgently desire to travel there compared to most other places. I would actually quibble more with Vietnam -- it seems like a fantastic tourist destination, similar in many respects to Thailand.
Just because a government did it doesn't mean it is legal. It seems like that county was quickly sued and had to change its policy.[1][2] I am guessing this restriction wouldn't hold up in court, but you would actually have to get them to court to force them to stop. And the bigger the entity and the more people impacted, the quicker they would end up in court.

yes but Switzerland has freedom of movement with EU, meaning that EU passport holder can freely settle in CH or Swiss passport holder in EU...
I politely disagree. in response to the caning, the US effectively shut down the Singapore summit that year. It was a blow to their ability to affect international trade in the context of the WTO.

What is a strategic mindset and how can it help you succeed?
Ah yes, the creative accounting of it! The bullshit we like to buy into.

7.5 hours of official "work", 30 min lunch break with which you cant do anything, 2x 30 min commute. 9 hours gone! You need to sleep 4.5 hours to be able to do it. 13.5 hours gone! It seems like you would have 10.5 hours for yourself but there of course are the standard chores, shopping, cleaning, cooking, eating, open the mail, pay your bills, interact with friends and family. We are told (cultural) this is all totally recreational!

Can you show up at work at 8:00 sharp? I think more usual is 7:45 to start at 8:00. The 30 min commute means you have to leave at 7:15. The average morning routine is 30 to 90 min. We do this to get to work and getting up at 6:15 is rather unfunny. (Plenty of jobs start at 7:00 or even earlier)

You finish at 16:00 but before you are out of the building 15 min are gone. 16:45 you get home. Why cant I park any place? humm, its 16:55 now. You might need to shower and/or change cloths, oh its 17:30 already? Quick to the store! 2x20 min drive, 10 min strolling around, 10 min to park again. Oh its 18:30? wtf? quick do some cooking. 37 min of cooking 19:07. A short hour to eat 20:00.

And then you have to spend 2 hours not doing anything useful or you wont be fit for work the next day. (note the contradiction in terms) After 5 days of that you also really need to spend the entire weekend relaxing or you eventually wont be able to work. Of course reality wont allow for that so people still burn out.

Slaves? uhm?

But this introduces a huge pain and expense of preparing US taxes every year even if you live abroad and don't step foot on US soil. Additionally, tons of foreign banks won't let you set up accounts even if you live in their country due to FATCA reporting requirements for US citizens.

Finally, on a more conceptual level, is it fair that US citizens have to pay taxes where they get nothing in return? Especially when no other developed country has citizenship-based taxation?
It’s probably more helpful to think about it at the margin: starting from some current point equilibrium for some spend $X what is the incremental lift $Y? Because that lens probably more accurately reflects a real purchase decision.
37.5 work hours times 45 work weeks

But not a resource that was able to become profitable.
It is the mix of current US sentiments, its leadership combined with the total chaos going on in this country - journalists are doing a disservice by perpetuating and provoking tribal instincts of nationalism. They're hyping up the downfall of the United States and hoping to get more clicks.

Folks who are non-Americans are getting a spicy juicy dose of some anti-US sentiments which is being drank in large quantities overseas.

What a sad time.
US Citizenship may have once been a prestigous thing, but now it's met with a sort of elitism that suggests Americans are inferior (stupid, boorish, backward etc). In my experience living here the differences between Canada & the US are grossly exaggerated and many countries respect Canada much more.

I think the well calibrated view would give America more credit for the role it's played/playing globally.
Yeah, I found the same thing with bikes. I hated riding bikes until someone gave me a used but nice road bike. It was an entirely different activity than riding the cheap, heavy bike I had before.
At first glance, it would appear so but if you check the FAQ where they list the number of current passport renewal applications and how many they get through per week, right now there's about a ~8 week wait. Long, but not a year.
From my understanding, the SEC requires all companies raising through Reg CF have to provide financials statements that are reviewed by an independent CPA before the investors finalize their investments. I do agree, though, that there should be more overall DD--I personally would be hesitant to invest in a company if there wasn't a reputable lead investor (which not all Reg CF companies have).
Where did you buy it? It's a preorder on Amazon and on the publisher's page.
If I were to guess I think it has something to do with “smooth scrolling”. The behavior is scroll the mouse wheel three clicks/times to move the page.

Expected behavior is move the wheel at all and the page moves.

Also on a track pad the page should move in sync with your fingers. It doesn’t in Firefox.
Other professional groups that practice solidarity often have review and ethics boards that are, in general, quick to denounce bad actors and strip them of their ability to continue harming others.

I can't remember the last time that a doctor or lawyer blatantly murdered someone on tape and had their peers go up to bat for them about how they're actually the victim and did nothing wrong. When it comes to law enforcement and correctional officers, I can find a dozen of such instances from the last 12 months alone.
Now, the reason it's better than native is because a DLSS upsampled image effectively gets AA "for free" as part of the process and doesn't suffer from the image degradation from using Temporal Anti-Aliasing but I find it mind-boggling how it can do real time processing of every frame and achieve results as good as the best possible cases for native rendering.
That's less than 1% of Walmart's total sales. It's not a major loss for them. Especially when Amazon is offering many products at a much cheaper price-point.

I don't support either major retailer, I'm just providing context that within the given sales (and margin), it's barely a drop in the bucket to a problem for Walmart.
I hear what you're saying but American's travel more, and spend more on travel than almost any other nation (I just looked it up, URL is in another comment)
On the one hand I think "Oh good, all these people who are convinced of the superiority of the USSA will start to get a clue." But, then I remember that these are also the same people who are extremely unlikely to have ever left their hometown, much less traveled to a different country. So this won't phase them at all.
I'm not sure what that metric is supposed to prove? That Switzerland has a higher number of rich US expats who want to avoid paying US taxes than other countries do?

It's very difficult to get Swiss citizenship in the first place, so it makes sense that it's mostly well off US citizens who are able to get Swiss citizenship, and are thus able to renounce their US citizenship.

Oh, that is changing and very quickly.

I was abroad in an south east Asian country when the Sept the 11th attacks happened.

I was shocked that there was a general view was America had it coming - having to take a bit of their own medicine after behaving like an arrogant bully.

That was almost 20 years ago, before all the endless wars in the middle east.

The decline started way before that - something you could perhaps lay at Kissinger's and politicians of his ilks door.
SO is over 10 years old now and hasn't changed much - I'm wondering what makes the investors think that profits will come and now is a good time to invest more money.
Ask HN: Vendor Agnostic Email SaaS
Since sendgrid is down (https://status.sendgrid.com/) ... again, does anyone have a recommendation on a service that will abstract sending emails.

We'd like a service that would present a single mail sending API, and automatically distribute outgoing emails between different providers (that we have accounts with individually).

It doesn't need to send the email itself, just act as a 'load balancer' for outgoing emails and detect when a given provider is having issues.

Bonus points if it can detect deliverabilty issues and adjust accordingly.
I'm also open to donations, but that doesn't mean I don't have enough money to do my job and act with integrity.
Why single out Pornhub? The fact that criminals are dumb enough to upload videos there rather than somewhere on the dark web is something we probably shouldn't try to stop.

If you look up the BBC article from february 2020 you'll find that Rose Kalemba's case took place in 2009, then the article mentions several similar but more recent cases where Pornhub took immediate action (so clearly they've improved), followed by how this trend has now moved to smaller individual porn sites - so again, going after Pornhub in particular seems pointless.

Also interesting that the movement is non-religious but the organization behind it clearly isn't: https://exoduscry.com/getinvolved/prayer/
Hi, I'm a questdb dev working on replication, we should have something working within a couple of months. If you have any questions feel free to ask me.

That's a fine source if you want to prove that fully recovering from COVID often takes more than a few weeks. But that is not the question here.

Since you already know that data, would you please tell me where to find it?
> But well most developers aren't actually using Linux.

Then it would be Windows and not Mac OS.

Is Mac OS any popular outside USA?
The second cheapest is often where the seller makes the most profit. There is a pricing strategy around this idea - people will rarely buy the cheapest or the most expensive item of the list. Their function is to shift up all prices and set the bar
This is good, but again this is a solution like using a vector drawing program, only on a slightly weirder canvas. You still care about what your boxes look like, and fiddle with them.

Graphviz removes this concern. You say "I want a chart with nodes connected like so", and `dot` provides just that.

Wealth-X is the company that did the initial research. I would say, yes that they are indeed attempting to shape public perception.

"Wealth-X partners with prestige brands across the financial services, luxury, not-for-profit and higher-education industries to fuel strategic decision-making in sales, marketing and compliance."
What do you consider luxury destinations? It’s a highly subjective description, so if you can elaborate it’ll aide understanding.
I'm saying, if someone writes an article and it is published, should we believe it?

You're saying that I should use tools to replicate the experiment. Great - this is what we should do before we accept something as true. Otherwise, we are in the realms of 'belief'.

So, do you believe this story? And did you do due diligence, and confirm with the tools that it is true? Or did you skip that bit and believe it despite the fact that NO evidence is presented at all? Be honest when you answer please!

Stepping back a bit, I'm not saying anything so drastic. I certainly don't see why I'm being downvoted. I'm really talking about applying the scientific method personally. I'm saying don't accept articles, videos by default, without even critically reading what is being presented. I really think its pretty obvious stuff, tbh!

Once known as industry leaders then moves in production and cost savings meant an inferior product. Eventually people caught on and the brand was done.
Along these same lines, I see the business wasting a lot of IT time by including the entire IT team in a meeting where the business discusses what they want and it doesn't produce an answer. The business needs to know their own processes an then include IT to discuss the implementation.
Musical instruments. The low-end ones tend to be true disasters.

Funny story about that one. My ex-wife's family are professionals in the music industry: playing, repairing, etc. Her dad plays, repairs, and sells trumpets. A mom and her kid come into the store and he hates playing the trumpet. I mean hates it, he's not good at it, can't stand practicing and begs to just leave it broken. They come into the get a valve replaced one the kids plays, and while they are doing the paperwork and looking around her dad looks at the trumpet he needs to repair. It's horrible. I mean garbage. She bought it for him, because "she didn't know if he would like it, " and got him one from an ebay store. My ex-father in law goes over and picks up a mid-range one for students, and just says, "Try this out. See what you think." The kid plays it realizes that it's 100 times easier to make a decent sound and loves it. He hated playing because of the instrument, not because he didn't like it. My ex agreed to sell her the new trumpet on one condition, that she giver her the old one so it will never be played again.
I think "machine learning" maybe a good approach for image recognition, but it is weak for image search, where visual hashes still reign supreme.
What about click through rate and time spent on site? Those are objective, Google probably has the data in many cases, and Google’s own products (like Maps) probably do the best on those metrics.

> the opinion of the USA is not great right now

The "opinion" of the USA has never been great, ever since our country was founded. And yet we're the only ones everyone talks about. And our culture and policies and businesses and finances permeate the world. And people are literally dying trying to get in. And then we need to save the world from one of their crazy dictators and the cycle restarts all over again.
I am very glad you like WindTerm/WindEdit and made very good suggestions, thank you.

Although I haven't considered creating a framework for a simple linter, but WindTerm and WindEdit are originally one during development. In fact, there are four kits in the unreleased tool: terminal (WindTerm), editor (WindEdit), browser and file manager (including local filer like windows explorer and remote filer like Sftp client), They complement each other and form an efficient tool.

For example, WindEdit has a special function that can read virtual huge files. This feature is especially designed for remote files. Imagine that there is a very large file on the server that can be read and written directly without downloading it. Just like playing a video online, you only need to get a small piece of content currently read and written. That would be very efficient, especially when reading huge logs.

I don't think putting a stub on the server is the correct solution, because we cannot put stubs on every server.

I will continue to work hard to build better tools and hope you can use them happily.

> How difficult it would be to build a decentralised SO?

Q&A platforms are widely available, and they could easily support federated/decentralized use cases via ActivityPub. So building a decentralized platform is mostly about creating these communities and enabling them to federate with one another.
> Overly optimistic about the past gone by, overly pessimistic about the present and future.

That seems to be the backdrop of Asimov's Foundation series, about the fall of the Galactic Empire... which was itself modeled after "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire".
